Lpc2000

Umm... Cool down... guys... that heat generated here is enough to
burn the 2pcs tiny 0603 resistors.... :)

Everyone is right!  
- You should be able to pulse high the pin for few uS and read the
  switch status.
- You can pulse LED at about 40-100mA.  Typical rated current for
  LED is 20mA

I think everybody here will not "intentionally" want to remove 
those 2 resistors. May be as some "quick fix" for some mistakes in 
design after PCB fabricated...

Also, if you must do it... do it on some LPC 4-5mA MOS output
driving pins and not some AVR 20-30mA type
