So, don't try to pontificate on what you know nothing about...


Haven't heard you relate one iota of experience in the field ...

No you haven't heard.

40 years, BSNE, MSPhys(NucSci)

20 years eng'g code maintenance/development w/ various organizations
beginning w/ nuclear power generation design codes on mainframes (Philco
2000 series followed w/ CDC 6600/7600/Cyber w/ FORTRAN 66 thru Fortran
F77 in conjunction w/ Philco assembler and CDC Compass as required).
From there to 20 years as consulting for various clients from field of
robotics and man-replacement equipment and instrumentation for nuclear
utilities to evolving to support in I&C R&D for fossil utilities.

Not that it's any of your business.

Then keep your mouth shut about it if you don't want to reveal it.
Not interested in such a weak programming "resume" anyway.
Figured you were a Fortran fan and narrow engineering type by your
reactions to my reasonable comments.
No business programming knowledge at all.
I readily admitted I had none in the scientific arena at the outset.
You were too arrogant to state your programming background until
pressed. You're just so special.
And you're a rude stuffed shirt unable to carry on a civil
conversation.
I would suspect nuclear engineers don't have to be civil if I didn't
have a nuclear physicist cousin who is ever the gentleman.
So you get no slack from me.
Guess what? I don't have to be civil either.
You've responded with nothing but rudeness and combativeness, and shed
no light on anything, except YOU like Fortran, and that YOU think it's
the cat's meow for crunching numbers and vector processing.

Sorry I hurt your sensitive feelings. That's a lie, BTW.
And I thank God I'm retired and no longer have to deal with assholes
like you any more, as I did for years.
This is the last thing I'll say to you. In Fortran, your fav..
Copied straight from Wiki with slight changes, because I haven't coded
it since my time was wasted with it in college.
I'm sure this program will last longer than any other I've coded.

program fu
print *, "**** YOU!"
print *, "AND TELL YOUR POCKET PROTECTOR TO GET ****ED TOO!"
end program fu

Most sincerely,
