ParticipantI have one of those engineer job titles but am most definitely not an engineer.
One thing in the non-technical world I deal as a hobby in swing mechanics (baseball). I used to hang out at a website run at followed by a bunch of engineers who like to take their advanced knowledge of physics and biomechanics to create a more “efficient” swing. Utter incompetence. These “dudes” needed to stick to their chosen profession instead of applying junk science to a bunch of shit they don’t understand. Not that I am bitter or anything (just wasted some some time there because I was impressed with the “smart” guys.)
On the other hand in the IT Software ssctor I deal in…. occasionally I run across a guy working in the field who is (for example) a mechanical engineer by trade who somehow detoured into software. In general these guys seem to be so much quicker to learn, and retain so much information compared to the regular IT slug like me.
So I see a definite difference either due to the quality of education or the advanced IQ of the full-blown engineer.

Correct. I have plenty of music, but the podcasts make the commute go a little smoother, I was just wondering if Piggies recommended any good financial/economic ones.

ParticipantYes TG but it’s starting to look like Mangini from the Jets. According to John Clayton he is talking about keeping Romeo Crennel on as D-Coordinator. Kind of interesting. I like Romeo and when the guys are slacking he can threaten to make them run laps around him (like I have room to talk).
I wouldn’t mind seeing McNabb somehow get through this to get a ring. Going through the Gints, won’t be so easy, but they do know them well. However first thing’s first let’s get Pittsburgh out of there.
Bad enough seeing my Suckeyes lose another big BCS bowl game. Hell just 3 years ago our BCS record was 4-0, now it’s 4-3. Moral victory my ass we should have won that game, and if someone can teach Pryor how to set his feet and release when throwing, WOW what a weapon. We were faster on defense more physical on defense and ran the ball well, but got conservative on offense at odd times. In the end, that Texas QB was more seasoned, and their receivers seem to get separation, something we’ve been lacking for the last three years.
