Agreed.  For development is excellent.  For small volume commercial
uses, it could be better that there is rectangle box for users to put
in their own part number and identification but do show trace of
source information.

I meant to say, do NOT show trace of the source.

[OT]Interesting and useless thing to know about New Zealand

 There is a town in NZ whose name runs to 92 characters which caused it problems trying to get a dot com to it's name.

Do not attempt to pronounce after a port wine or three.

Tetaumatawhakatangihangakoauaotamateaurehaeaturipukapihimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuaakitanarahu

However there is a place in Thailand that beats that - so if your life depends on it one day learn it well.

Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokphopnopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniwesmahasatharnamornphimarnavatarnsathitsakkattiyavisanukamprasit

Say it 4 times correctly, no mistakes now.

Would this be the time to bring up word wrapping in email clients? :)

I think, from memory, that is a proper name. Others are longer, but contrived

According to the website the town is 44kms from Waipukurau (North Island)
and means; The brow of the hill where Tamatea, with the bony knees, who slid and climbed mountains, the great
traveller, sat and played on the flute to his beloved.

I make no connection with sheep . I know from experience the Lake District is full of them.

I might have to make a trip there and take some photos.

"The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of 
mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to 
his loved one. "

Hardly at all. Just some words in common usage

Re: [PIC] Detecting NaN with C-30 on 24FJ128GA006

For an uninitialized eprom or eeprom one would read all 1s which suits both the
definition of the error and the way I suggested to check for it (I was assuming
that there would be no other way to check). I did not know that one could use
the inequality to self test for this. I also do not see why it would work. Once
compiled there is no cast involved and the way I see it comparing 0xffffffff
with 0xffffffff should yield true, not false. If the comparison actually
performs a floating point substraction and fail, then I would understand, but
the expected error would be NaN and not inequality!

[OT] Trojan Virus and internet bank accounts

 Apparently this virus the Sinowal trojan had been wandering around 
since 2006.

It is almost undetectable, not helped by the fact that in 2007 Google 
discovered that 10% of 4.5M pages analysed contained the virus. The 
report is unclear on whether these are Google search pages or the 
actual pages linked. 

Full story http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7701227.stm

The board comes with rubber feet in the corners, but there are also holes
there for mounting in a box or chassis or whatever.  The rubber feet are
adhesive and can be pried of with plyers pretty easily.  The holes are sized
for #40-40 machine screws, and I'm sure there is a metric size that would
work with them too.  The areas around the holes is deliberately kept clear
of parts and traces on both sides of the board out to a reasonable screw
head or washer radius.
