This wise aleck posted in the comments to an electronic project I was watching, asking how he could adapt the circuit to some "pro equipment" he was trying to design. I probably could've helped him if I could've decyphered his description of what he was trying to accomplish.
I pointed out that using a microcontroller would be a better way to do what he wanted to do. There were other obvious reasons his "pro design" wouldn't have worked, but I'll skip that here for brevity.
The son of a dry fuck got more trollish as the discussion progressed. He said microcontrollers were for amateurs, and no pro designer would use them. I guess he meant nobody except designers of CD players, microwave ovens, VCRs, DVD players, etc. He eventually trotted out that tired old troll about how he's been working with computers since before I was born or whatever. I refrained from telling him I've probably been doing it just as long, because the other angle I came up with was more lulzworthy. I ended the conversation with this:
"Whatever you're trying to design should be child's play for you then. By the way, if you're waiting for help from the OP, he hasn't replied in nearly 4 years. Good luck."
Then I unsubscribed from the thread. PWN3D.
