The following is part of an article called "Chips Found Floating Down Silicon Slough". The original author's name is in small print (probably at his own request) and has not stood the test of time nor the countless Xeroxings. [ Reported stolen from Byte Magazine, April 1982 ] The Don't Gate You don't get any output no matter what's at the inputs. It is believed that the DON'T gate was the breakthrough that made the LSI write only memory possible. Noise Emitting Diode (NED) When connected across a 1000 volt supply it makes a loud noise (once). The NED was discovered by Igor Pravaganda whom you'll recall worked many years trying to filter AC with electrolytics. He'll always be remembered as the father of the confetti generator. Shiftless Register Must be used with 3 speed forward clutch gate. Shifts at 15, 25, and 35 bits per second. Double clutching with logic 2s is not suggested. Inoperational Amplifier (IN-OP AMP) Linear cousin of the DON'T gate. Provides no output for any input at a slew rate of 0 volts per microsecond. Mil Spec. version available at 100 times the cost of OEM version. J(UN)K Flip Flop Doesn't change state when clocked regardless of input states. Changes only when cola machine down the hall makes change. Excess 3 to Insufficient 4 Carry Forward Fudger Used to enter the Murphy factor and get the programmer of the hook. MOSS Highly experimental material. Very rare at present since the only source is from under grizzly bear toenails. Turns green when facing north while on wood substrate. Fuzz Locked Loop Great if you want to avoid radar speed traps. I would enjoy hearing about any other cutting edge of technology items and as always will ignore any unjustified flames. :-) Ken Marks
