Gee, ya don't say!

Let's remember that no matter how many times you tell that lie, it will 
never become true.

The same comments which listed the microcontroller and peripheral A/D 
part numbers, which you were completely unaware was contained in the 
comments, and couldn't explain why an external 24-bit A/D was used when 
the 10-bit A/D integral to the microcontroller would have been more than 
accurate enough for the application.

Even a technician worth half a shit would have seen that, but it was 
news to tommy, who allegedly wrote the code.

> While Frank did hold a useful and necessary position, he too had problems working a real job. 

no, he didn't. That's another kunich lie. The person who had problems 
working real jobs is the guy that has 20 jobs listed over 20 years on 
his resume.

> Should we say that these people were better educated than someone who became wealthy being asigned jobs by PhD's who managed them?

And who would that be? The same guy whose been claiming make over $10K a 
month on a million dollar investment for the past 5 years that's still 
only worth a million?

And who would that be? The same guy that joined the airforce to avoid 
the draft, didn't "realize" he had enough credits to graduate high 
school so he took the military GED, then claims to have "read out" three 
libraries?

I'm gonna make a general statement and suggest no one in this forum 
besides you would have even gotten past the point where someone claiming 
to be a CEO called them with a job offer.
