I wish people would read more carefully.

He didn't say he hit anyone, please re-read his post and you'll find he was talking about a hypothetical situation.

Thanks guys.... some responses:

bigkim100:
Im a heavy handed guy i hit hard trust me. If i punch you in the head and you didnt move i think i would knock you out no problem. Since im in NY if you get caught fighting you will have to go to court regardless. Since you have been processed by police and have a misdemeanor.

BeeBop: Thanks!

Nigel : You seem to be good at a lot of things I was thinking about taking up boxing. but never did.


killivolt: Funny!! lol good stuff.

if a guy comes in and tries to rob us UNARMED hes doomed.unless its in the policy not to stop him- but if hes robbing us and i have to defend myself then i feel sorry for him.

. If hes armed then he can have what ever he wants. Im not gonna die or get seriously hurt for a little bit money.

Its not like boxing where i can make millions or at least hundreds of thousands for a fight.

heh i never stated this was my career interest. I work now but not enough to enjoy the money. I want a steady check and Discount on electronics .

The Digital Camera was merely a example.

Some people are able to achieve a lot; while others take an entire lifetime to master one discipline. I think it has to do with spirit, focus interest, and perhaps intellect.

There is a use for studying boxing, but becoming a boxer seems a bit crude on its own (I loved Bruce Lee's "Tao of Jeet Kun Do" - use what is useful.) If you still have an interest look into anything which has a 'do' on the end of it. Do means 'way' and it is as much a philosophy as a means of defense. The Japanese martial arts tend toward linear, concise and practical, while the Chinese martial arts are usually more circular, based on the defenses of animals and insects and is, perhaps, more esoteric. (Kung Fu translates as 'hard work.')

If you have an attacker who knows what they are doing, they will conceal the weapon very well, and you possibly won't know they are armed until a bullet or knife pearces you. Best to just hand over the cash and let the insurance and police sort it out.

yeah.

The odds of someone being that wise in NY lol is funny. People who are that wise dont usually do wrong. Bad people tend to do bad things the wrong way.

I meant:
"The odds of someone bad being that wise in NY lol is funny"

LOL not people in general lol

You never know.

Let me tell you a funny story.

Late one night family in from California and not normal to leave the car un-locked. My daughter comes in to tell me she looked out her window after hearing a sound.

Disbelieving my 9 yr old. I said go back to bed it was nothing, and rolled over.

She shook me again, but harder and said, no I seen him ! Now I'm awake. As I went downstairs she said behind me "he dropped something" Plus: I think he's breaking into the car. Expecting to confront someone I looked and no one was there. Sure enough he had been in my car and stolen the contents.

What she herd was a bar clamp, for wood. If anyone knows what I'm talking about. It's a piece of metal attached to 2 jaws that are used to clamp onto the wood. So, I picked this thing up with the intention of finding and cracking him in the skull.

I quickly grabbed my key's and began the "hunt" driving the streets within minutes the cops were everywhere. They found him huddled in some bush's Afterward they told me he dove into the bush's when he saw my car. Laughing they said Roses ha, ha.

When I went back home I saw my next door neighbor a parole officer. She began to described what was stolen then She say's but, they missed my 38.cal pistol under the seat.

So, I ask you. Had he taken the Gun. What were the chances of me cracking the guy in the head with the clamp, before he filled me with lead ? = 0%.

Always take them seriously. Always assume your opponent is "Ten Times" Stronger than they look. You never know when there "concealing" a weapon.

People who are scared will come in brandishing.

People who will blow you away. Will keep it under their clothing. Not to draw attention.

Actually telling the story reminded me of this one.

Even better.

5 drunken Indians. Number 6 hidden behind the door. Suddenly I spot his giant hand as he pulled the front door all the way open.

There before my eye's is a 6'7" 350lb indian looking at me ?

Suddenly it felt like "Little Big Horn" and Custer's Last Stand.

I was saved to my wife's shock as they surround me. She said: I'm calling the cops.

The Police Station was 7 blocks away. They quickly disbanded.

Later I herd the same "big" indian in separate incident overcame a police officer and handcuff him to his car and threw away the key's that earning him the nickname " Barney fife "

I swear I have the luck of the Irish.

Excellent, now all I need to do is understand any of it.

I'm going to show one of my co-workers a Student going into Mechatronics.

He just got the pic kit 2.

Thanks, AtomSoft.

no problem. Its still a work in progress so ... more to come soon!

I have a nice BitBang I2C i just made in there and next is SPI bitbang. Then the hardware version of both.

Then USART Bitbang and Hardware.
