Default Real engineers vs. Internet engineers

I know quite a few EEs and EEEs in the real world, and in most cases,
they are extremely personable individuals who are able to relate and
converse with their fellow human beings. I know I've made a couple of
blanket statements about the inability of these people to understand
language or enjoy the grey areas of life, but for the most part this
is more concentrated among so-called Internet EEs.

That brings me to the subject of Internet EEs, and whether they are
true EEs or not. Most of the engineers I meet in the real world are
very different than the ones I meet on the Internet.

Here's an example. If you talk about a high end tweak that may not
have an immediate scientific explanation, a real EE will say,
"Hmmm...I can think of a few reasons why this might work. I'd love to
get my hands on this product and find out for myself." An Internet EE
will say, "Snake oil! Bull****! You're all idiots for believing in
this stuff!" Not exactly a scientific approach, I must say.

Why the disparity? I suspect real EEs don't have the time to hang out
on Internet discussion groups and argue like this. Some do appear
periodically to tweak the noses of the Internet EEs, but you'll
usually find that they don't stick around after they've made their
point. Logically, there is no reason. Only a fake Internet EE would
hang around and make thousands of posts, arguing with laymen. A real
EE simply has too much work to do. "Either you get it or you don't"
is usually their attitude.

So, when people come on here and flaunt their EEs, take it with a
grain of salt. One EE told me that if you have a degree in
engineering, you can get a job anywhere. In other words, you're not
spending endless hours playing on the Internet. Think about it.

Probably on account of the medium.

So Marc, how many of these nice people have you accused of being pedophiles?

OTOH, since much of what you post here is pure fantasy, perhaps these nice
people exist only in your mind.

Only a member of the living dead would ask that question.

To put Krooger's komments in kontext, everybody should bear in mind that
Arnii is insane.

Yes. Normal engineers don't try to twist comments about the trade
into perverted sexual claims. Disgusting.

You're ill. *Get some help.


I'm fine, 2pid. You should be too, as confession is good for the soul,
dog-licker. LOL!

But to paraphrase Winston Churchill: "Even if I was ill I'd recover,
and when I did you'd still be stupid."

If you had the technical chops to be an engineer, that would be an
indictment of yourself, Marc.

Who wants to be assimilated? Raise your hands. Anybody? Anybody at all?
Come on, folks, this is an opportunity you get only a few times a year.
Arnii, if nobody signs up, you'll be held responsible.

If you were a human being, Arnii, you'd be appalled at how appalling you
are. Or, to continue paraphrasing Winnie C., tomorrow and for the rest of
your life you'll still be a pathetic 'borg, but a Normal can learn
engineering and still be a Normal.

That's because you're using the wrong decoder. Use the Krooglish, not
the Krooglsih.

Exactly. Arny seems to be desperately holding onto some delusions,
such as degrees for engineers are beyond the realm of most people, and
that he went to a decent college.

[snip]

I sympathize with your viewpoint, but I remember a semi-counterexample, who
hung with us briefly seven or so years ago. He had an E.E. Ph.D, and had a
small company that made digital preamps and such. One feature of his
equipment was a digital-domain volume control. He was quite adamant that the
loss of bits caused by digital attenation was inaudible. He was almost as
strident about it as an "internet E.E.".


And he was also a pleasure to talk to...about audio, about music,
about a number of topics. He was fairly polite (except when it came
to Arny, obviously) and allowed the other person to express a contrary
opinion without being rude or losing his temper.

Are you saying Shoescrape Community College isn't "decent"?


Fourth-tier regional college. Fourth-tier regional college. Fourth-

Indeed they are. Most of the engineering school washouts moved on to the
School of Education in my days. IOW, if you couldn't do the math, you got to
be Stephen or Jenn.

and that he went to a decent college.


Marc, if you'd ever stayed with a profession long enough to try to get a
second job in it, you'd know that after your first professional job, the
school you went to paled in importance to what your previous job was.

It might have been Horizon ashtrays, not Omni ashtrays.
