Re: "You Might Be an Engineer If..."

If Dilbert is your hero
Dilbert's not my hero. He's my...whatever's bigger than a hero... Every day, I strive to be just like him.

If you can name 6 Star Trek episodes
The Trouble With Tribles - TOS
Trials and Triblations - DS9
Endgame - Voyager
Encounter at Farpoint - TNG
Broken Bow - Enterprise
Who Mourns for Morn? - DS9
Do I get bonus points for knowing the series?

If, at Christmas, it goes without saying that you will be the one to find the burnt-out bulb in the string
Of course. Although one year, I started trying to figure out a device that would make that job obsolete. I'm still working on it...

Quote:
If your ideal evening consists of fast-forwarding through the latest sci-fi movie looking for technical inaccuracies
My ideal evening is watching them. I pick up on the inaccuracies as I go. In an episode of Enterprise (do I lose points for not knowing the name?), Dr. Soong used an escape pod to get off of a Klingon ship. But, everyone knows that Klingons don't have escape pods; they're dishonorable.

If you thought the concoction ET used to phone home was stupid
When I was a kid, I was too scared of ET to notice that. Later, however, I did realize that an alien that posesses interstellar transportation technology should have come up with something better.

Quote:
If you have never backed-up your hard drive
What if I made the computer make backups on it's own? I couldn't find enough drives to make a nice RAID, so I wrote a script to automatically make copies on another computer.

If the salespeople at Circuit City can't answer any of your questions
I haven't tried Circuit City, but the Radioshack guys are pretty worthless.

If you have ever owned a calculator with no equal key and know what RPN stands for
I'm not old enough to own a calculator that used Reverse Polish Notation. Do I still get points if I've successfully operated one?
