Remote Viewing!

It makes me wonder what percentage of the GDP is dedicated to things that do
not exist.

Like qubits?

Forklift driver? I drove a Duece and a half almost every day in Vietnam,
many times, a forklift too.We had three reject forklifts.One of them was
a big tall Baker forklift, it stayed broken down all the time.Another
one was a Towmotor, sometimes it would run.The other one was a Clark, it
always cranked up and ran,,,,, you had to be careful of that two speed
gear shift lever on the right hand side of it though,,,, it had a habit
of falling off.One time, on purpose, I ran the right rear wheel of that
Clark fork lift over a big roll of banding strip.Because it was there!

I don't call those people engineers, and any self-respecting
broadcaster would not, either. Those are board operators. In TV the
same function is called a TD or technical director, or simply a
switcher. A TD would be laughed out of the control room if he called
himself an engineer.

I'm mystified as to why this topic was crossposted to 4 disparate
newsgroups with little relation to each other. I don't even know who
any of the respondents are, except for Phil Kane.

I'm 35. Engineer. And you?

I'm 60 and I'm a degreed engineer. Professionally, I've spent more time
doing IT than anything else.

If you stare at a computer all day long, you get dumber by the minute.

I am a 44 year old single gay white male. 5' 7" tall, 313 lbs. I am
unable to work due to my weight and other health problems I would
rather not go into. Thanks to social security disability payments and
other government assistance I am able to enjoy many of my hobbies
which include shortwave radio.

I'm old enough to know better. Maybe you will be a grownup some day.

Is "he" refering to me? Well sorry to disappoint you, but a lot of
that stuff is passe', and no longer taught in college. I studied
digital circuit design and digital signal processing at Penn State.
No analog stuff other than the basics (op-amps).

Modulation and information theory are not "pass?".


I didn't say it was. I said ANALOG theory was. Digital of course
still has relevance.

Amazing. This is to much!

He can't be a competent engineer if he doesn't understand three-phase
power generation and transmission as well. Learning all that was
necessary before we could learn electronics in every major engineering
school.

That was optional at Penn State. I never took it.

But every digital device is full of analogue devices. Not only that,
but they run so quickly that you need to be highly competent in
distributed circuit theory and microwave design techniques.

That is true. I was rather surprised on my last project to discover
myself modeling analog signals, instead of digital. Oh well. Times
change.

Doubtful. Engineering is boring; you sit in a damn cube all day long,
staring at a computer. I've been saving every penny, such that I will
be able to retire at 40-45. Or semi-retire (only take jobs I like).

Engineering is dull.

Well you took a wrong turn didn't you but it's never to late to get into
marketing where you can lie your ass off. It's very exciting, just ask
Eduardo.
