You know what to do.

;; TODO - make new variables inside 'not' clauses not count towards the parent bindings

FSM
        state diagrams
        timing diagrams (line in lecture, quiz 1 and h/w)
        VHDL behavioral model
        General block diagram
                2 block
                3 block (moore and mealy)
                
 
register (how to make, variants (inputs), timing(diagram)
 
counters (how to make various circuits (timers)
 
stuff from 2181 (muxes, decoders adders. comparators, basic gates etc)
 
allowed one 8.5 by 11 note sheet, front/back hand written only 
supplied appendix A and B from "tutorial for designing VHDL behavioral Model for an FSM" (misc Docs on website) 
 
homeworks, quizzes etc are fair game

      Here’s a parable adapted from one I’ve heard ascribed to Guy Steele. Say you and I have gone on a trip. Over dinner, you say,
“You know, I have a Thomas Jefferson $2 note at home!” That’s funny, I say; so do I! We wonder whether it’s actually the same $2
bill that we both think is ours alone. When I get home that night, I call my spouse and ask her to tear my $2 bill in half. You then
call your spouse and ask, “Is our $2 bill intact?” Guy Steele is Solomonic.

<r2q2> mmmdonuts: So, what is it like being on a language committee?
<mmmdonuts> r2q2, I enjoy the rides in the black helicopter which picks me up
            every morning to fly me to a bunker beneath MIT.           
<arcus> how does a helicopter fly into an underground bunker?
<mmmdonuts> Haven't you seen X-Men?
<mmmdonuts> (The movie)
<arcus> er, yeah, but I forget.
<arcus> descending heli-pads?
<mmmdonuts> Obviously, you have big sliding camouflaged doors in the ground.
<jensa> mmmdonuts, Shiver's clearly put his mark on the Scheme community
<r2q2> Wow. That is really cool.                                       
<r2q2> MIT is just like hollywood!
<r2q2> No wonder tuition is really expensive.
<mmmdonuts> Yes, jensa, I forgot to mention that we also carry automatic
            weapons at all times, in case the Java or C++ guys attempt a
            takeover.
<mmmdonuts> Shivers drops in every now and then to give us training.
<r2q2> mmmdonuts: So, Guy Steele must be magneto.
<r2q2> And sussman must be professor X.
<r2q2> Sweet.
<mmmdonuts> I didn't realize they were arch-enemies, but you might be right.
<mmmdonuts> (Or old friends on two different sides)            
<mmmdonuts> Yeah, I guess that makes sense.  MIT vs. Sun.
<arcus> mmmdonuts: I hope you guys have paid attention to this
        http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html
<arcus> it's really for evil overlords, but there's lots of good advice about
        bases and minions there.
<mmmdonuts> arcus, the evil overlord guidelines came up a while back when we
            were discussing what the big red button on the front of Darth
            Vader's suit does.  But I hadn't thought of applying them to the
            R6RS committee.  I'll bring that up at the next underground bunker
            meeting.

Aha. they have a bunker beneath MIT
