    The day the guy who invented USB will die. On his funeral they lower down the coffin, pull it back up and turn it around 180° and lower it down again only to repeat the procedure another time. Then it will fit into the grave

      He's redeemed himself (or herself) with USB-C. Can't screw it up. Unless you confuse it with a mini-DVI port. Sigh.

    This is positively hilarious. Too true. We have 6 children. Both of us plus 4 of our children are engineers. Our youngest son, high functioning autistic, is in grad school for physics and wants to be an aerospace engineer like us and his older sister. He couldn’t stop laughing. Neither could we. 2 of our 3 daughters are therapists and never want to hear the word ‘engineering’ ever again. They say engineers are crazy. They aren’t wrong 😂. Hilarious and clean humor. So refreshing!

    You know that you are a video engineer if you fall asleep with the television on, and when the station stops broadcasting regular programs and transmits SMPTE color bars appearing on the screen and the 1,000 HZ tone comes on in waking you up, instead of turning off the television as most people would do, you get up out of bed and walk up to the television and adjust the color, tint, brightness, and contrast controls to normalize the picture!

    In 1973, I took a Freshman English class at what is now known as Binghamton University. IBM was a big employer at the time and apparently my professor's wife worked there. He told us about having to go to an office party where some (sneer) engineer talked about (eye roll) "software. What the hell is 'software'? Hardware, sure. But 'software' isn't a real thing." True story.

    3:14 This is true! Last Friday we were troubleshooting 2 issues to make sure everything runs through the holidays but a few more popped up when we went "in there" to take a look. I looked at my colleagues and askd. " Do you think it'll last until the 3rd of January?" All 3 answered."Nobody is around to find out anyway" We went home and started our Christmas vacation anyway. 😂

      What you write is the result of a risk estimation approach. To evaluate a risk you have to multiply: (amount of damage) x (probability of occurrence) x (probability of discovery). The last point is zero, so there is no risk

      @a.h.5966 Month ago +8

      @ianPedlar five is 101 in binary. So high 101 is high five. Octal has nothing to do with a set of three digits if you were wondering. You can write as many digits of octal just like binary or any other number system..

Both used past races as an example going forward. One was happy and successful, the other still questions the first race. One is retired and one still works.
