Actually, come to think of it, I'm pretty sure there's a Ford (or Holden?) building near where I live that used to have all BMWs and mercedes parked out the front in the staff carpark
Though I doubt that those cars are still there in the current climate :P
Well put, I 100% agree with this. A lecturer of mine told me that we should embrace and utilize as much technology as we can, because any time that a computer can save you can be spent on more important and interesting pursuits.
Of course I joke about being lazy and letting the computer do...
Haha, I was more referring to the fact that nobody outside either profession understands what they actually do. And trust me, we engineers are already replacing ourselves with computers, we just don't tell the general population because we like keeping ourselves in a job. :P All we really do now...
And this is different from engineering how? :P
$10,000 a year on accounting for a 'small business'? What currency is that? Seems impressive. Now I know why so many parents push their kids in that direction! :P
But seriously, I see the point you're making about how we can't replace a...
Well, I guess it depends on the law in your area, but where I'm from (Australia), I'm pretty sure most uncompetitive practices like that are forbidden by legislation.
I'd assume it would fit in somewhere alongside "vendor lock in" and such, but I couldn't point you to the exact piece of...
When I first read about this weeks ago, and how one of the local politicians in Australia said that it should have been given to someone more deserving, like Morgan Tsvangirai of Zimbabwe for his recent peace efforts, the first thing that popped into my head was the image of said politician...
Haha, I love this, my lecturer used to say that all the time, that and a particular conan the barbarian quote are my mantra in engineering.
Anyway, I'm from Australia, and coincidentally just lodged my Tax return tonight.
No Accountant, just plug in your numbers into the little box in an...
Yeah, this is a great idea and has a huge range of environmental benifits.
I think it is worth the fire risk and bad karma of not cleaning my gutters, but only for the environmental payoffs of course! :P
I love vietnamese food, and this occurs quite frequently at my local restaraunt, where they use those small asian style teacups to serve hot (and sometimes cold) tea.
These cups are significantly lighter than your average coffee mug.
I have noticed that there is always water that has...
Thanks for your post CEL :)
Ah, sorry, I wasn't very clear.
The graph that I drew here was given to me as part of the question, but I didn't have access to a scanner when i made that post, so I copied it out by drawing it in paint.
My question was mostly based around the "develop...
I'm 4th year Mech. Eng, from Australia. Don't really know how our courses stack up to you guys in America, but over here I have seen a noted difference in the classes run by the Engineering and those run by the maths/physics department.
Engineering classes (with a few rare exceptions) seem...
Homework Statement
I have a transfer function in the laplace domain, and I have been asked to:
"Develop Relationships in terms of the constant parameters and adjust K such that the constants are: A = 2, B = 1, C = 3, a = 3, b = 1"
After finding this relationship, I am asked to convert it back...
