Even the dimmest of the US government agencies wouldn't be silly
enough to regard my kind of America-bashing as any kind of threat. You
and Jim can afford to be a little less realistic.

   Did you have your sense of humor surgically removed, or are you
really that stupid?

If you and Jim think that reporting peple to the FBI is a joke, you do
need to have your "sense of humour" adjusted.

   Don't sell yourself short.  Phil is only a contender, when compared
to your level of being obnoxious.

You may think so. Your opinion isn't exactly definitive.

   I haven't seen anyone out of the hindreds on the group sing your
praises.  In fact I don't recall one kind word, due to your piss poor
attitude.  How can you be right, and everyone be wrong?

Your search skills aren't up to much, and you do seem to share Jim's
enthusiasm for ignoring reality whenever he finds that the real world
isn't behaving the way he'd like it to

   So have we, and all your prospective employers who did a search on
your name.  Then they saw the real you, and didn't hire you.

You do enjoy your little fantasies.

   Are you saying the Euorpean empoyers aren't as smart as those in the
US?  Several large companies have admitted to doing online resarch of
job applicants to screen out the losers, or potential liabilites.

US employers can't be all that smart - if we are to believe your
claims about your employability, they hired you repeatedly, and your
own intenet persona is not wildly attractive.

   And you use you pink and purple UFO to visit 'Nessie' every day.  One
of Earl Schibe's best paint jobs, BTW.

You do enjoy your little fantasies. You don't find reality nearly as
satisfying.

   Tell us, Bill.  How do you know exactly wich ICs that Jim designed,
since most of his work is under NDA?  That, or explain your fanatasy
that you design anything.

He's mentioned his designs for Motorola several times on this user
group, and it struck me at the time that they were the only Motorola
parts that I'd ended up detesting - many years before I learned about
the common factor behind these rare exceptions to the general rule.

   That was solved in high power UHF Klystons for TV transmitters, with
a photo electric arc detector that shut down the B+.  Try your method
with a 65 kW Klystron that cost $45,000.

The solution to our problem turned out to be a proper coaxial
connector on the high voltage connection to the cathode. It took a
long while before production engineering could be persuaded to swallow
the extra expense of a 30kV rated coaxial plug and socket, and it
ended up being justified on the grounds that it simplified assembly
and maintenance. The elimination of the catastrophic currents in the
ground connections was a (not unexpected) bonus but not one that
engineering could have guaranteed in advance.

Meanwhile we'd had to engineer the computer control system to survive
on the electron microscopes that producdtion engieering has stuck us
with - which is easy enough, if not all that cheap. Process control
and local area network hardware has to be enginered that way to
survive the ground surges from nearby lightning strikes.

   Our competior hired a guy like you.  They spent over a million
dollars on his prototype. It was so late and so bad that they hired us
to compare it against one of our older models, and it failed every
test.  

The multi-phase stroboscopic electron beam tester took longer to
develop than it should have done, for reasons that were entirely due
to management decisons, and was eventually canned, but only after the
first prototype was doing pretty much exactly what we'd claimed that
it would. The problem was that the idiot manager who had written the
original reqirement specification - the one that I'd thought that I
was sending up by writing a practicable but impractical design
specification based on Gigabit Logic's hideously expensive GaAs logic
- had been lying abut the potential market, and when he finally bailed
out and the real marketing guys got to talk to his claimed potential
customers, there weren't quite enough potential buyers left to carry
us into full production.

Very frustrating.

Like I said, you haven't got a clue.

   Yawn.  No matter what you used it for, it was still a thermoelectric
cooler module.  That is like claming that using the same reistor in a
different product was a breakthrough. No one working outside the field
would, especailly when you didn't state the specifications.  I get tired
of your, "I can piss farther than you" BS.  ALl that means is you don't
go often enough.

So you want to emphasise that you haven't got a clue? For a start, it
did both heating and cooling (as I've already pointed out dimbo). If
you wanted to see the specifications you could have checked out
Measurement Science and Technology, volume 7 pages 1653-64 (1996).
I've posted the reference here often enough, and it is my most-cited
paper, as you could see on scholar.google.com if you had those kinds
of skills.
