Noob here - trying to get up to my 10 comments so I can post a real electronics question...

I don't believe OT posts count toward that magic number. But technical contributions do.

As for this matter, if the cops say they have video of Kraft performing (or receiving) a "sex act"*, and they don't, there's going to be a quite sizeable explosion... But, that said, they'd have to be crazy to carelessly make such an accusation.

Why? One of the police privileges is that they can lie to you without committing a crime. You do not have the same privilege. I suspect that s justified under investigative powers.

I do note that the word "sex" is not in that statement. Still...
I guess we will know, soon enough. Not that I'm sure I want to.

I think the "sting" aspect is worrisome. That's where Kraft's expensive lawyers come in.

Well, the "explosion" part is also where those high power legal beagles can come into play. It would not work for most of us.

As for the posting requirement / getting help with a moderately unique (I think, after searching here) tech question... I give up. The time to become knowledgeable enough to make 10 useful or non-ignorant replies of a tech nature out of my particular areas ("all" "about circuits" covers a LOT of ground, but not, it would seem, a lot of what I do!), well, I don't have it, and I just wasted most of an all-nighter to boot. I guess I'll see if I can get unregistered.

(I'm not yelling at YOU - I'm glad you filled me in. Thanks.)

Please don't give up. I could not find your unanswered post. Can you link to it?

 

I don't understand it. The guy can afford the best. With the best you don't get busted. Yet he decides to go to a scuzzy massage parlor.

For first time in fifteen years, Jerry Jones will sleep tonight with zero envy of Robert Kraft.

FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) - A Florida police officer has been suspended for allegedly playing Barry White while letting an arrested couple smoke and make-out in the back of his patrol car.

According to an internal affairs report released Friday, Fort Myers Police Officer Doug McNeal placed the couple in the back of his patrol car after they'd been charged with shoplifting in July. Authorities said 23-year-old Zachery Moellendick and 24-year-old Krista Leigh were not placed in seatbelts and that Moellendick was not in handcuffs and had a lighter and a cigarette.

The alleged incident was captured on video. Florida Today reports the video shows the couple making out. Authorities say the officer played "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love" and agreed to let them smoke.

It was begun in 1979 as an undercover investigation of suspected mob activities in gambling, bingo and drugs. But as an F.B.I. official put it, ''it just grew and grew'' to include murder, bank robbery, extortion, bribery - and, almost incidentally, the garbage industry.

WTSP in Tampa reports: “Police said a customer who was in the restaurant where the car crashed into the building had just left that area to get hot sauce.” The driver of the SUV was a 77-year-old man who thought the vehicle was in reverse, when he hit the accelerator and was in drive instead.

Not sure if this should have gone in this thread or the Darwin award thread.

Either way, if this guy did not have a chance to procreate, the world is now a slightly safer place. Only a couple of billion more stupid people to go.

A Florida man was arrested this week soon after being released from jail for allegedly breaking into cars in the jail parking lot, authorities in St. Lucie County said.

I'm surprised it wasn't dated April 1.

 

That was the first thing I checked, when seeing it.

Can't be used to transmit information FTL. It's old news.
https://physics.aps.org/story/v5/st23

The explanation is that the central piece of the pulse is attenuated more than the earliest piece. Although the pulse shape is unchanged, it comes out smaller, and the “leading edge” of the input pulse is transformed to become the peak of the emerging pulse, a process called “reshaping.” So no part of the pulse is actually transmitted faster than c, says Chiao.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/0810.3370.pdf

It is well known that the group velocity of a light pulse can be greatly changed by tailoring the dispersive properties of various materials [1, 2, 3, 4]. It has been observed in experiments that the group velocity can be faster than the light speed c and even become negative in anomalous dispersive media (“fast-light” media). Therefore, the group velocity for describing pulse propagations is at least measurable and physical meaningful. Another fact is that extreme slow-light phenomena with nearly stopping group velocity have also been observed in “slow-light” media such as an ultracold atomic gas [5] and solid-state materials [6, 7]. For ultraslow group-velocity propagations, there is almost no controversy on signal velocity, while for fast-light propagations, the controversy remains and unsolves [1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]. The key problem is “whether could signal velocity be faster than light speed c or not without violating causality?”

It is the definition of the signal not the transmission channel that determines the signal velocity.
