If I went to her PhD lab, I agree. Except we have the same job. She's paid more than me to do the same thing... actually she does less. She'll come back with her hands up in the air because CANape won't connect. So then I run through my mental checklist of: Did you check the CAN resistance: No Did you check the Device ID: No Did you make sure that you had the right A2L loaded: No.
So then I get to stop what I'm working on fix her problems and then come back and finish what I'm working on. I don't doubt that she's smart and knows very well her PhD material, but in the work force you need to be a bit more diverse. The people with masters degrees are sometimes better since they're highly knowledgeable in the area we work in but still haven't whittled their brain down to only being able to work on a single problem.

And sometimes a PhD just lacks the ability to 'think outside the box'. At work the running joke is that the more of a degree you have, the less useful you are. If you need them for a very specific problem they're great. But once you get them outside of their realm of expertise.
I've never seen a PhD in the engine test cells, where as me and the other guy with 'just' a BS have no problem rewiring something if it doesn't work or otherwise getting greasy. One specific PhD just didn't understand why it was a problem that her diesel engine simulation was running up past 10,000 rpm. (Our engines redline at 2500), and that seems to be a common type of basic thing that you need to teach PhD
"The skin pigmentation was known to be consistent to the students at an al-Qaida bomb-making training course in Afghanistan."
"Approximately 3/4 of the JTF-GTMO detainees that were captured being brown have known connections to explosives, either having attended explosives training, having an association with a facility where IEDs were made or where explosives training was given, or having association with a person identified as an explosives expert"
"More than 50 detainees appear to be brown. The skin pigmentation of 32 detainees appear to be "Mexicanish", while a further 20 appear to be "Almost Italian".
Not silly at all.... Except there are a whole hell of a lot of brown people. And equally a whole hell of a lot of people with these watches. Hell It looks to be very similar to the first watch I ever got around when I was 10. Not to mention if I started making decisions on 33% accuracy, I'd get fired.
Build yourself a FAST gaming machine and run Dolphin on it. It's one of the selling points is that will output at 1080p. Only downside is the beefy hardware requirements.
Unlike Brazil, once prices went back down the US decided to drop all the programs from the 70s because. Hell, fuel was cheap! People have already forgotten 2008 and went out buying SUVs once again. Now they're complaining once again.
I can't recall an iPad that has survived the rain, survive being hit with a car after my I set my backpack on the roof of my car, read in the dark, read without power, or been handed down from my grandfather.
I'm not aware of a system that can do that now, from any manufacturer. People complain endlessly about how badly they hate multiplayer anything on the Wii, but for such a complaint to mean much it should at least be based on what other systems can do...
Yeah, god forbid nintendo come out with something no one else has done before.
I have a Big TV. I want to be able to put 8 people to connect. I want to be able to do multi-headed out where 1/2 of the players are on separate screens.
Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto has indirectly confirmed that the new console is in development.
Really? Does Microsoft need to 'confirm' it's working on another version of Office or Windows? How about Apple working on another iPod, iPad, iPhone, or MacBook?
Yeah, well my family had an ALL streaming home entertainment since I was born in 1982. I even used it all the way up through when I went to college. Shocking, I know. You'd even think we were in the future. Now with HDTV each of the main 5 channels I grew up with now has 2-3 "side stations". I would have killed for that amount of PBS growing up. - Actually, right now I use: XBMC + SickBeard + SABnzbd. With a 'pay as you go' setup from Astraweb. 180GB lasts me 4-5 months of regular programming and all summer. (An costs as much as 2.5 months of 'all you can eat'.).
My apartment sits across the street from a Laundromat that advertises 'free internet' (I didn't see any mention of customers only), DD-WRT in client mode feeds my OpenWRT router.
It was. I watched this one live at the regional competition. Each step was started with a electromechanical actuator and each one ended on a switch. Each of the stages had microswitches when it was 'reset' and the back panel had lights that lit up when the stage was reset. It allowed it to be debugged easily and if a stage got stuck they could skip it with the switches.
I've given the platters to my girl fiend as purse mirrors. I also keep one in my car for when people have their high beams on behind me. Not sure why, but the surface is a near perfect mirror. And since it's not really deformable (brittle, not elastic) the image is always near perfect. Minus the hole in the center.
If you can toss them correctly they also fly rather well, requires you to snap the wrist.
I just don't see how this destroys 'everything'. A small hole like than in only a portion of the disk will still leave quite a bit of data. I always thought the NSA 'approved' method required turning the hard drive into a small metallic dust.
Can't take a taste of your own medicine? There's nothing but bitching about Apple's walled garden and Android is the next greatest thing ever. But bring up the fact that some OEMs are stuck on VERY old roms and will never be updating and you like to ignore it.
This should be fixed by this afternoon and everyone should be updated by tomorrow, right? Not like the closed iOS which would have taken months to fix.
You're asking them to open ports and you're "taken aback" for them asking for an account? They ARE the IT department.... did you even bother asking them if they had the capability of doing what you wanted before you reinvented the wheel?
You may not think that IT owns or manages your server, but they do own or manage the network. Imagine if some guy from IT came down to you and wanted to start looking through radiology records. I'm sure you'd ask him if it was ok to look over his shoulder every now and again before you gave him full access.
Seriously, if you start getting into high level automation of PLC and other industrial systems, there are only a few key players in the game. Siemens is one of those companies. Sure enough, if you search for SINAMICS S120, the Siemens page is the first hit.
How often do you dump your error codes into 5-10 languages? If you go to Europe and use a piece of GE technology you'll probably get errors in English.
My 'studying' for Mechanical Engineering during college was making a program do what I needed to do. By time I debugged it, I had the formulae burned into my memory.
I'd spend hours writing IF/THEN/FOR statements for every possible scenario. By the end I'd debugged it with 20 homework problems, I more or less could do it from memory. The program just served as my dyslexia backup... and it had saved my ass on at least one occasion when I transposed something when "doing it by hand".
I did 2 years at a private college that had a Laptop and Calculator portion of the tests. (This was JUST before wireless internet).
1st part of the test you'd do with your Laptop and Maple. 2nd part you'd put your laptop away and use a calculator or what ever else you wanted.
The advantage was you could do 'real' problems. I've taken tests at the school I transfered to that enforced no calculators. The problems were... trivially boring and not anything close to real life. Where as with Maple it was a word problem and you still had to grasp what was going on.

By that logic:

Go to good will. "New" microwaves for $5. The damage I've done to one makes microwaving CDs look like childs play.
