we've gotten so off-subject. i'm a degreed computer & electrical engineer, but i'd have to go back for an associates to be an electrician because of the curriculum path a chose (heavy concentration on switching-theory and digital architecture design)
I want to freshen up my knowledge, fill the gaps. there are no IC's on the market that can perform a codeless DFT/FFT. I want to design an ASIC to do that, it would save so much money in any DSP application compared to going the embedded/SoC route which is what every industry seems forced to be doing.

DFT's have been done in the past using fucking flywheels/gyros, differentials, and clockwork. so I'm convinced it can be done without software

back to the matter at hand, how to send myself to Hell where I belong?
id never seen highlander until like a year ago, i avoid movies and series about the subject
but i wonder if i can decapatiate myself with a shaped charge and get out. or if i can even acquire what I need to make an effective one without spooking the the alleycats enough to pounce & send me to rot in jail until the day jails are no longer needed/attended
