The team effort

Cruise ship - currently submarine
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
It is a half sub marine. It is not sunken yet. Well, a retarded submarine, maybe.

Ok. I assume you haven't forgotten about this: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4525705/What-if-we-removed-reputation-points.aspx[^] I just thought this whole engineer debate was strangely entertaining. Then you threw your popcorn comment into the mix and it made me chuckle enough to give you an up-vote. Soren Madsen

A submarine is still a submarine even if it isn't underwater. Therefore all ships are submarines :~

This was a discussion between me and my manager regarding the team effort. I imagined our company as a boat sailing in a river. I imagined the manager as the person who steers the boat, and the team members as the persons who paddle the water with the guidance of the manager. With all together they will reach safely. With any deficiency resulted from any of them they may get in the way.
Don't forget, me hearties, oooooh, aaaaaaargh, that a boat might belong to her cap'n but the lifeboats belong to her crew.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

And the fact that it happened here makes it even more remarkable. :rolleyes:

Engineers are not called engineers because of the Engine, the engine is called an engine because it was engineered by engineers.
As I have said previously this is the bit I find hard to believe. I have provided a source that states explicitly that the word Engineer came after the word Engine. You say it is the other way but provide no proof (The examples you are giving are of people being retrospectively called Engineers, not of people who were called Engineers at the time.)

If that wasn't an Ancient Greek Engine I do not know what is.
And what of their steam engines, or are they inconveniently placed in history for you?
Would these 'Engines' not require an Engineer?As stated above the maintainers of these would not have been known as Engineers. And just to ensure I win the Interwebs[^]

You need to ask Farouk about that.

I think it is more accurate to say that the Team members are the ones who plot the course, navigate the boat, steer it to the destination while overcoming any obstacles and extreme weather on the way. The manager is the one who thinks he is on a Train.

:laugh: Leave it to the denizens of the CP lounge to be divisive about team work. I haven’t had such a good laugh in some time, this is a great thread. +5 for starting the conversation. :thumbsup:

I refer you to the all knowing[^]and the second paragraph "deriving from the word engineer, which itself dates back to 1325, when an engine’er (literally, one who operates an engine) originally referred to “a constructor of military engines.” Anyone before 1325 was not called an Engineer.
