The word cut doesn't mean what you think it does.

Would you like to try for more name calling ? Maybe you can shout Bushhitler a few thousand times, or just go around yelling winger winger, or something equally persuasive.

Ever ask yourself why democrats are always against ID for voters ?

Tell it to the Armenians slaughtered by the Turks, Ottomans 100 years.
Tell it to the dead in Flanders.

Oh but you had no idea what was going on in the world in 1915

It's Slashdot
Facts that someone doesn't like are the ultimate flamebait.
Pointing out logical flaws in an argument is trolling.
Likely we ran into an anti America/Europe/West person or just pro Chinese/ child of their elite type

Can only hope you are right and my impressions are wrong.

ROFL

OK there that was funny.

You named your post accurately I see

I suppose naming analog computers quantum simulators somehow renders them hip and more useful than just calling them analog computers.

And gas is cheaper in real dollars than it was in 1978. Oh yeah going to put a tiger in my tank. BTW whats your rational for hating a company that employs your fellow countrymen and provides you cheap energy ?

I'll take what you are saying as your experience but you can't design a 555 timer without being able to do the exact same math for a resistor capacitor circuit. I also can't see how you could design much of anything without having the understanding that components are not actually "IDEAL Components" we draw on schematics, and what the effects of inherent resistance, inductance and capacitance are.

I certainly couldn't see anyone using differential forms, when the impedance/steady state math is incredibly easier to work with, but just the same if you try to use that without being aware of the transient response, it can go badly.

That's like saying being able to put a radio next to your computer and tell how busy it is and maybe what it is doing by listening to the signal on an open channel is part of the Windows UI.

" I wouldn't want to be dependent on an internal combustion engine I couldn't hear operating."

Well in this case you aren't hearing an engine operate, you are hearing are sound effects that may or may not reflect what the engine is doing.

Google Boss Tweed for historical perspective
Google Sheldon Silver, to see nothing but the names have changed.

I find it impossible to believe that anyone could have an EE degree, let alone pass a P.E. exam without being able to write down (L*dI/dT)/R and then solve that simple differential equation. Really in my case that's from 40 years ago was the last time I used that information. It's even harder to believe that even absent being able to write down the equations from memory, they wouldn't know the initial current is zero and exponentially reaches the applied voltage divided by the self resistance.

Really pull the other one. Next you will be saying they can't answer "What is the sum of the voltage drops across a closed loop?" or "What is the sum of the currents entering a node"

LOL I read that and laugh like a madman. Google "The Great Depression" then you will see an example of bad fiscal policy and an out of control market really screwing up people's lives yet somehow people actually managed to improve their lot during that mess. The biggest problem the current generation has, is they have accepted the idea they can't when all the ones that have come before knew they could.

LOL Fix H1B and scrap Obama Care ? The program who's architect said "It went through because the American people are stupid"

Sounds like win win to me.

Hell while we are at it we might get some regulations and liability laws scrapped so you can manufacture in this country again.
