Hello? Can we say Davie is also pompous and arrogant?

You just did, Len.

I third that motion.

Nope. Extra Morsemen are allowed any kind of personal insult
against others while all NCTA have to be "kind," "gracious,"
and "civil" to them. :-)

Actually, it's the other way around.

I see it differently.

Using my RIGHTS as a citizen.

As are all of us who filed comments.

So what's your problem?

Tsk, tsk, Extra Morsemen want
NCTAs to abrogate their citizenship rights. Not good.

Also not true.

So what's your problem?

Yep, as Hans Brakob has pointed out on a number of occasions, Len is the
organ grinder; you are the red-hatted monkey.

Hans the Dump Huck caller?

Once more, Extra Morsemen think they have civility immunity.

I guess phrases like "shut the hell up, you little USMC feldwebel" are
Len's idea of civility.

I guess calling people the phonetic equivalent of "Dumb ****" meets
with your aproval?

I'm only retired from REGULAR HOURS. :-)

So you're irregular, huh?

Jim making an insult?

Just finished a contract
job trying to find a better way to protect against tin dendrites
in consumer-grade PCBs made with lead-free solder. We found a
slightly-better way that had already been done, but no cheap way,
sad to say.

In other words, you FAILED, Len....

RoHS failed humanity.

In case anyone has been on the Outer Planets in the past decade,
the Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) is THE thing in
electronics production now.

We know, Len.

Multiple personality disorder "we," or papal "we," or royal "we?"

Problem is, without the lead in
conventional solder, tin will grow tiny, tiny "whiskers" (called
tin dendrites) that can short out circuit traces.

Yep.

Happens long
after production soldering. Can't use a simple meter like the
old standard Simpson 260...too much ohmmeter current...blows
open the dendrite and desposits it back on the traces.

Awww....

You're missing the bigger problem.

The reason for all the concern with hazardous substances in electronics
is because of their effect on the waste stream. "Modern" consumer
electronics are usually not designed to be easily or economically
repairable, so if something fails it is usually replaced rather than
repaired. Worse, the rapid changes in technology have resulted in a
large volume of working-but-outdated electronics (mostly computers)
being discarded rather than recycling.

Rather than trying to recycle and reuse, the regulators are trying to
stop the problem at the source. A bad solution, but you'd think the
PROFESSIONALS would have seen that one coming....

Regulators are not "PROFESSIONALS." They know nothing of the
environment nor electronics. And I've never seen Jim testifying on
CSPAN. Serves in other ways.
