You may call me "The Shah" Please leave beer sacrifices at my 1000ft tall bronze statue of me.....which BASE jumpers will use to jump from every Sunday. You can keep the virgins but the slutty girls....well I'll take care of those for you! Per my view in 10 years that's what I've seen. It may just be me....and god I hope it's just me. Because if it's not....we are FUCKED! I must admit I find it utterly amazing that so many people here don't recognize when someone is merely taking the piss, purely for the entertainment value.

I can't believe he does, either. To me, he just likes to stir up sh*t for entertainment. All he's guilty of is some harmless trolling. Show me he's a pig who kicks dogs, & smacks kids? I'll change my view on him. P.S.: Thanks for dialing down the new vocabulary. It's a bit rough... Edit to add: I just looked up Callipygous. Where the H**l did you find that one???

Elite_Marksman 0 #63 November 4, 2011 This, really. If it's something that can't be discussed because its classified or an industry secret, it isn't patented. Patents are open to the public, it's just illegal to make or use the concepts in them without authorization of the patent owner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldwomanc6 38 #64 November 4, 2011 And we have come full circle. At first people said Shah wasn't real. Then some said they had actually seen him. Now, maybe he is not so real after all. He certainly doesn't talk like a real person. He certainly isn't consistent. He is happy then sad, lonely, then the girls (size 4) are beating his door down, the only women he meets are old ladies doing yoga, then... He can't afford squat, then he buys a sports car. Oh, and then there' s the religion he started with himself as the deity... I'm sure I'm not the only one confused.

Dean358 0 #67 November 4, 2011 I was playing golf last week with three buddies: one is a doctor, one is a priest and one is an engineer. The foursome ahead of us was insanely, crazy slow. It got to the point where we called the green's master over and demanded to know WTF was going on? He looked a bit embarrassed when he explained to us that the foursome ahead of us were decorated combat veterans who served in Iraq, and all four of them were blind. Needless to say, we felt like shit for making a fuss. The doctor in our group felt so bad he offered to see if there was any treatment he could offer them for free. The priest offered to go pray with them right away. The engineer paused for a moment, looked down and then said, “well, why don’t they play at night?” Moral of this post: a sense of humor will make your life much more pleasant than all the time you spend making ridiculous postings on DZ.comwww.wci.nyc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True story, I had this amazing chief who I looked up to....I mean I thought this guy was wow! Every one above him thought he could do no wrong and would listen to him intently when he spoke at meeting. And he was only 20 years older than me. One day on a trip I asked this engineer of many years, how he had climbed the ladder so fast and had obtained the respect of his peers? His answer? He killed off high technical risk programs as such reducing costs and reducing over all risk of failure of the organization...... OK i thought...maybe they were shit programs....i can relate to nerds just doing nerdy things because it's "cool". So i went back to the office and asked around, some of the older guys, who were a solid 40 years older than me indicated the guy who I thought was amazing would look at a program, and if it had a 10% chance of failure he would can it and write a report about how he had saved money. According to one of the older guys "If it was up to him NASA would have never moved past the V2 rocket.....after all why improve something that already works! Why would any one want to go to the moon!" And it is from this stew that our latest crop have come from. If all you are doing is promoting those who take no risks and have no idea what it feels like to fail, to fall to bleed and to push back up and keep walking what are you left with? Guys and gals who sadly kill each others great ideas long before they get off the ground for it is in this attrition of choice and death of ideas that promotions are given. And take this from the Six Sigma Black Belt, a perfect tool that if used incorrectly can and will kill innovation when in fact it can be utilized with great ease to nurture and bolster tomorrows great advancements.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

normiss 622 #74 November 4, 2011 Close. I wouldn't consider test launches to advance our program over the previous experiences of German scientists "using" a V2 in the manner that was implied. They were used to get the basics sorted out on multi-stage vehicles. I got the impression you were inferring they actually used them for space launches. NASA wasn't even created until the late 50's while the V-2 test launches by Army Air Force testing was the late 40's. But sure. Whatever. My bio dad was a rocket surgeon. Strangely enough, I followed him at most of the research sites he worked at. I miss working with CFD in the wind tunnel! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shah269 0 #75 November 4, 2011 You know what it is...it's evolution. Plain and simple...it's evolution turned on it's ass! It's not survival of the fittest for fastest or he or she who pushes out and explores new ideas.....rather he or she who can hide under their shell the best. I've been in meetings where engineers were just like fracking turtles....you first try to push them to try new things to experiment and to be ok with failing...so what it blows up....screw it we study the failure and build a new version a better version and we will make this work, if a project is a total success out of the door we didn't try hard enough! That's like pushing jello....fun for the first 5 min then you realize how scared these guys are! And that frustrates you and you get angry and you can't figure out why these men and women the best of the very best are afraid. And of all things failing! And the harder you try the more stubborn they become until they are hiding in their shells hoping this crazy person with his crazy idea that failure is not the end of the world will stop talking and stop pushing and just stop existing...... That's where you see it, the looking at your shoes, the fumbling, the texting, the us of big words and worthless power point presentations.....in the end...the rock wins....the hammer fails for it is not worth the effort of futility. And you are left with where we are now. Look around you, has the world improved by great leaps and bounds? Other than the internet and a few other things.....how is your home heated? Cooled? Food brought to your table? Are we at the moon or just sitting in our back yards trying to find excuses why we can't get up and go? Ladies and gents, this is devolution of not only our species but of our very souls. And the pathogen that has caused this demise of our great spirit....is the quiet engineer who is passive aggressive and sits and hides behind timed jabs at ideas for he or she lacks the spine to be the person at the front of the room.
