Well, you might have the title of "engineering", but for sure, you don't
have the "engineering" mentality.


In a group I used to post to someone had this in their sig:
"Engineering is the art of making what you want from things you can
get."
In which case, I'd say I've definitely got an engineering mentality. A
good example would be to take advantage of the fact that each DRM
receiver has an HE AAC decoder in it.


You don't make anything.

The only thing you do is collect papers and opinions writen by other people and write your opinion about that (emphesizing whatever you like and ignoring things you don't like).

That's not engineering. Engineering is about DOING something, not about talking about it!

Instead of having endless and useless discussion about the error-correction mechanisms of DAB, DRM, DMB, DVB-H, or <what-ever> and spending endless hours behind your computer writing page-length documents, why don't you do something yourself, e.g. write a DAB, DRM or DVB-H transport-path emulator.

That way, we can *really* test how the different systems of error-corrections can cope with errors in the broadcasting-path. You can then try out different kinds of error-paterns and the different settings of the error-correction systems and actually here or see what have happened to the audio- or video-stream you put in originally.


THAT is engineering: doing things. Talking about things you could do, or that other people have done, that's for in the pub.



Good luck at finding a job (you're going to need it!!!) 

Would you like to place a bet on whether I get an engineering job or
not when I start applying? How about a bet of £10,000? Or are you not
that confident that I won't get a job in engineering?

OK, but if you don't and you stay unemployed, where do you plan to get the £10K to pay me?
:-)



Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.
