lol, well I suppose it depends on what the definition of "is" is

I'm certainly no tree hugger, but it seems that every product made should have a disposal plan that is sustainable, otherwise don't allow it.

I had it for a few years but didn't renew it this summer. I miss some stations but it really wasn't worth the cost. Seems like it was $20+ a month. That could buy a decent audiobook or some other entertainment every month or it could just be saved for something fun.

Lol, I remember using CaiCE right out of school. I thought it wasn't too bad (compared to BEagle Point) but soon realized that I was the only one that wanted to learn it (and also the only one who used it regularly). I soon became the Caice guy where people asked me to do their simple tasks...

Very well said.

If we're honest, then no a degree is probably not an absolute requirement, but some due diligence is required by our society to prove ourselves capable of understanding the issues. I know a very capable design tech/survey guy (has his own consulting firm). He's one of the smartest people I've...

My 2 cents, 1) The old man is paying for screwing around with someone so immature (and crazy). 2) The old man owns a team who is subject to NBA rules/ethics. His private views became public (without his consent), and the NBA is subject to public opinion. His now public personal views are...

6 cents per bale of hay

I wouldn't do it. If you do, it's the only job you will be qualified to do (since you will not get your PE). Certainly after your licensed, there are tremendous opportunities with a GC.

the hidden inside statement? I misread as it was a hidden feature, but if knowingly hiding it, yes the guilt and punishment is there

Unfortunate for everyone involved. I don't necessarily believe in stoning the architect because he made the mistake. If you do any job long enough, you are going to screw something up. Anyone who has dealt with building codes can tell you how frustrating it is to follow every detail. I...

Saw this on another forum. Does the Engineering Community have the same problem(lol)? >http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Sz0o9clVQu8
