more EE Times nonsense

"Slow man" is perfectly aligned with his ponderous and pointless posts.

No, I the Land O'Lakes is in him.

If we're lucky, Nijmegen will become a modern day Pompeii.

Obama and Pelosi have told us their new healthscare[tm] mandatory insurance thing will put jobs here in overdrive, spur innovation. (They're trying to copy you guys, sort of.) (Or maybe Venezuela.)

Since you already have that, it ought to be easy for you to start up a company, and probably a lot of fun. Just chunk out your life savings, hire a few employees, and off you go.

Pity about that. Iceland - in the middle of the Atlantic - has volcanoes.

The Netherlands - well inside the European continental plate - doesn't.

The idiot from Florida nees to learn some geophysics.

Since your information about my design ability is defective, I don't see any reason to trust your opinion about his. Both are likely invented to make you feel better.

According to Edmund Crispin, the resonant space inside the head requried for a great singing voice uses up skull volume that could otherwise have been occupied by brains, and James Arthur's mindless endorsement of right-wing idiocies does imply that his skull is largely empy.

Who isn't?

I don't sing - not enough resonat spaces inside the skull - though I do play the piano (without much experise). I do cook. And I do design electronic circuits from time to time, despite your inability to process information to the contrary.

I've been trying to get another job for the past six years. It hasn't worked, but not for want of effort. You've needed to learn a bit more about the world outside electronics for a whole lot longer, and there's absolutely no evidence that you've realised this yet, let alone done something about it - the books you do claim to read are all neatly packaged misinformation designed to make Republicans feel happy about their favourite delusions - anytime now you will be quoting from Sarah Palin's text-book on international politics (which someone is probably ghosting for her even now).

So you are revising your advice to "invent a job, bozo". In much the same way as you invent your "facts"?

James Arthur doesn't seem to have noticed Obama's "new" mandatory insurance thing was iveted by Bismark in Germany over a century ago. It might conceiveably spur innovation in the USA - though the 64% of the US population who already have medical insurance would seem to be a perfectly adequate market to drive whatever innovation is necessary

- but it isn't going to make a blind bit of difference to my environment, where the nearest I've got to a job in recent years was when Philips Medical Systems was contemplating developing a phased array of ultrasound transducers for cooking tumours in situ - an old idea that is still waiting on a method for measuring the temperature rise inside the tumour being cooked.

I asked about temperature monitoring during the interview, and didn't get an answer ...

If this were true you would have long since died laughing at yourself.

Perhaps, but he was postulating a rather improbable event - a couple of orders of magnitude more improbable than the original Pompeii, which is still talked about, more than 2000 years later. He'd need a monumental amount of "luck", which is to say it was pig-ignorant wish- fulfillment.

You seem to be dim enough to have missed the point, as usual.

Actually, it testifies that you don't have any kind of "keen eye for humour", but merely an impressive - if unrealistic - capacity for self- satisfaction.

And a comical enthusiasm for grammatical pendantry. It is a pity you can't actually construct a balanced sentence,

High praise from a true master of the art, who rarely deviates from telling us how implausibly brilliant Highland Electronics is (or Highland electronics are).

Say Bill,

Didn't you move to the Netherlands based on your wife getting a good job there? Perhaps after six years she might like to take a break and you two could move to somewhere you think you could get a job -- assuming you'd really like to have one? (I mean, if your wife has sufficient income and doesn't mind your being largely retired, it would seem you're already pretty well set...)

If John Larkin doesn't know what you look like, perhaps you could apply to Highland Technology under a different name. :-)
