Posted by kdawson on from the well-plaiced dept.

LuxuryYacht writes "The PLAICE is an open source hardware and software project developing a powerful in-circuit development tool that combines in one device the features of a FLASH Programmer, Memory Emulator, and High Speed Multi-Channel Logic Analyzer. It runs uClinux. The logic analyzer features up to 200MHz sampling rates and up to 32 input channels. The logic analyzer Java client supports up to 200MHz sampling rates, user-controlled filtering operations, time line in diagrams, transfer rates, and user configurable drawing modes. The Java client supports access via almost any PC with a serial port and uses the RXTX serial library with support for 34 platforms including Linux, Windows, and Solaris. Java client plugins include an SPI and I2C bus protocol analyzer, conversion of timing analysis to state analysis, and post-processing functions."

    These are the folks that want to hear from you regarding this Internet
    SLIME, CYBER STALKER, & PREDATOR. This company has a long history of
    harboring the "Vermin" of the Net. Such illegal activity as Copyright &
    Trademark Infringement by one of their most prolific abusers. Stay
    clear of Carolee Gipson (cg9...@sbc.com), William (Randy) Hickman
    (wh5...@sbc.com), Antonio (Tony) Green(tg6...@sbc.com), and the upper
    echelon of SBC! These folks have been harboring one of the FILTHIEST
    Usenet Abusers to ever hit the newsgroups. This TROLL follows every
    post of FSS with off topic FILTHY comments, email forgeries,
    harassment, and abusive threats. He has been reported for all many
    times and FSS will continue to do so until Whitacre takes definitive
    action against this PUNK! Just look at the FILTH portrayed in the names
    of his email aliases alone. See more below and ask why this piece of
    FILTH is still on SBC, PRODIGY, & AT & T. Just do a Google Groups
    search of any of the names, aliases, sock puppets, etc. below to see
    just how prolific a poster of FILTH this SLIME is..

      build yourself a castle, keep your family safe from harm
      get into classical music, raise rabbits on a farm
      log on in the nighttime, drink a half bottle of wine
      buy a couple of records, look at naked girls from time to time

      and people tell me "what a real nice guy you are,
      so come on, serenade me on your acoustic guitar"
      and don't believe me, if I claim to be your friend,
      cause given half the chance I know that
      I will kill again
      I will kill again

      and wouldn't it be nice, for all the world to live in peace?
      and no one got sick, or ever dies, or dies of boredom at the very least?
