You may not have noted that you are in the USA, where age discrimination is illegal, and I'm in the Netherlands where it is institutionalised.

The krw we know and love. No evidence to support his lying claim and no shame about repeating it. A right-wing nitwit's right-wing nitwit.

An evasion, rather than a quotation. Once again krw comes up empty.

krw can just about manage baseless assertions. His skill set doesn't include reasoned argument from facts to conclusions.

Where it is the device of your - rather restricted - choice.

Your inability to master any of the numerous alternatives probably does make you inferior to me when it comes to picking appropriate devices to meet a specification.

We don't happen to enjoy the kind of relationship where I'd be your supervisor and you'd be my subordinate. I can't say that I'd willingly get involved in a situation where I'd have to accept responsiblity for your efforts as a circuit designer.

I've supervised a fair number of junior engineers during my career, and some were more competent than others. None of them were bad enough that I had to spend more time checking their output than it would have taken me to design the stuff myself, but sone did come a bit too close to that for comfort.

A. A good reason not to live in that hell hole you live in. B. More whining.

See above for more whining. IOW, you're projecting your useless life on others, again.

Like I said, krw can just about manage baseless assertions. Credible baseless assertion would be something that he might aspire to.

Nothing baseless about it, Slowman. All you have to do is take fingers to keyboard. Your incompetence and negativity gushes out. It's no wonder you're an unemployable leech. That's what you are.

As krw has mentioned, our interpretation of other people situations does tend to be coloured by our own experience. The personality that krw exhibits here isn't one that would equip him to establish or sustain an aimiable and mutally satisfying relationship.

Since krw only knows about fpga's, I may look incompetent - and consequnetly unemployable - to him. Back in the real world, I got my first commercial job a few months before I handed in my Ph.D. thesis, back in 1969, and was continuously employed from then until 1991 when my - technically successful - electron beam tester project was cancelled. I got short term work within fours days, though to took a couple of months before I got into the job that kept me busy until my wife moved us to the Netherlands at the end of 1993. I was fifty at the time, and the Dutch really don't like hiring people who are older tha 45, but my age didn't outweigh my competence for another ten years. At 67 I'm almost certainly unemployable in the Netherlands, but we won't be here forever.

It's interesting that you describe this as completely her choice and responsibility.

Why is that?

So you haven't worked for 18 years? And you preach socialist economic theories??

What you're saying is that krw is right, but you don't choose to see it that way, but further down you explained that you are a 67 year old PhD and you haven't worked for 18 years.

Further down you explained that krw's translation is correct. You are a 67 year old PhD who hasn't worked in 18 years.

What experience would color that some other way?

What purpose would that device have served?

So you're a 67 year old PhD who worked for

What kind of work does your wife do?

One man's spontaneous remission is another man's miracle. I certainly don't hang around waiting for them to happen.

Your reading skills leave something to be desired - the last full-time job I had ran out in May 2003, a bit more than six years ago - not 18

- when I was 60.

The experience of working out with my wife - back in 1992 - why we should move to the Netherlands, on the basis that though it was not going to do my career any good, the advantage to her career still justified the move. It involved the kind of mutual generosity that krw doesn't seem to be equipped to appreciate - his "translation" is a liitle too characteristically mean-spirited to be described as correct.
