Agreed. Fleming is a foul-mouthed person.

Any reputable news client can block his posts and all replies. If you
never have to see them how can his posts ruin a news group?

Exactly right. I suspect that they are using me to justify their
own abusive outbursts.

Were they to grow up past the emotional age of a 5-year-old, then
perhaps they could take responsibility for their own tendencies
for abuse?

Thinking outside the box has been the mantra of ineffectual
management in industry for some years now, but when
there are those who do that, odd that it stimulates abusive
personal campaigns.

Once again, I challenge those who say that I troll and ruin
numerous NGs to give specific examples.

In rec.radio.amateur.antenna I mused that the formula for
radiation from antennas were based only on experimental observation
and that the medium could also in some way govern radiation.
Such a subject is not covered in the textbooks.

Also, having English textbooks on the subject from the 1940s, I
bemoaned the lack of education amongst techies for using
the wrong plural, antennas, for antennae.

In uk.radio.amateur I have held. a stance for 20 years that
the twin traditions of gentlemanliness and technical motivation
should be maintained.

In comp.dsp, in revising my electronics knowledge (Essex, 1969 - 1972)
it seemed to me, subsequently shown to be right, that there was a 
significant
mathematical error in what was presented in most textbooks for the 
explanation
of sampling.

In all those cases, I was met with many people who could not discuss the
topics and angrily quoted their textbooks at me finally resorting to
personal abuse.

That now happens here, merely because my interest is in low level system
software of my own creation, fomented by my experiences from
1971 till 1974 working at the Scientific Services Dept at Portishead
Power Station on naked PDP11s, and interest which does not fit
in with the mainstream of Pi users.

Why cannot people behave as do grownups, and, if not interested
in a topic or in me, use a KF instead of leaping in with personal abuse?

Were you to look at the NG uk.radio.amateur over the past few months,
specifically the posts from The Three Amigos, reay, cole and tomlinson,
you would very soon realise just who is ruining that NG (and also this
one, it would seem)

I have him killfiled in a number of groups.  But the thread still shows 
up because people keep replying to him.  I can manually ignore a thread 
which I should do with this one.

Ignoring me is fine, for my remarks are not targetted at the
incurably block headed; but why then resort to the
infant's style of abusive remarks?

Why even respond in this thread in the way that you have?

But what do you again by crowing here that you have KFed someone?

Why respond at all, unless it is malicious?

If you use a news client that can filter on body as well as headers you
can eliminate any mention of him (as long as any follow-ups have
properly formed attributions, which is the vast majority).

Another non-relevant troll making personal attacks?

Why does he do that?

You do realise that you have a high likely hood of stopping DRAM refresh
and other nasties, potentially doing things like bricking your SD card
let alone cause many other problems.

If you attach a switch to reset line you have a good chance of needing
spare SD cards.

The RPi and the system with all its peripherals is a completely 
different beast to the old systems.

Even if you could manage to write into memory, with halted CPU, how
are you going to be sure the on CPU caches KNOW the value is different 
to what they hold.

What locations are you expecting to examine/modify, as memory management
unit will make it impossible for you to work out the steps in locations 
of your one task.

Play with RPi as it is and get to understand how it works as it is.
Having multiple terminal windows on graphical, and multiple sessions by 
<ALT> + <F1> onwards gives you ability to do many things at once and
stop errant tasks etc..

It seems as though you lack either experience or knowledge of working
with electronics and microprocessors at the soldering iron and logic gate 
level?
