That's not electrical engineering, that's computer science.

And thus you make yourself sound like an idiot. Hardware design is
*not* computer science (aka programming). ------ Besides my title is
"Electrical Engineer". Always has been, no matter where I worked.

This is just a small sample of what I know, because this is what I
work upon every day..... but I suspect a lot of it you have no clue
what it's about. And that's fine. Because I don't expect one person
to know everything there is to know about EE.

Not to denigrate Penn State, but graduates of the major EE (as
differentiated from CS) schools are expected to be fluent in most if
not all areas of ELECTRICAL engineering. ...

That sounds like a denigration of Penn State.
They did teach me all the basics,

- but not the advanced stuff (like synchronous AM reception
- - whatever that is).

SFTV - You chose to 'cross-post' to a Shortwave Radio Listener's
Newgroup (rec.radio.shortwave) most of the SWLs here have
some idea or concept of what an "AM-Sync" does and to some
degree how they function and perform within their Radios.

Clearly you have more than the Education and the Ability
to Inform Yourself and Communicate with the Members
of this Newsgroup in a Meaninful Way. - Please Do So.

i didn't know - i don't know - is not a valid answer
for a person of your education and ability ~ RHF

I'm "this" many fingers!

Can you count? Excellent!

Brenda's disappeared. She's not about to admit she was wrong (a sign
of maturity is someone being able to say, "Ooops my mistake.").

That's TCP/IP. Hate to side with these guys, but they're
right this time. The World Wide Web and HTTP were
invented in 1990 by Tim Berners-Lee.

Agreed.

Ooops. Thanks for the correction; that was pretty stupid of
me. ;-) (A news client could also be called news reader, or news-
reading software.)

SFTV -aka- "Hybrid Digital" Man,

And this post has the 'sound' of "Maturity ? - NOT ! ~ RHF

BAD comes and goes as her schedule permits.

Until then consider actually Listening to a Shortwave Radio :
So that you can Hear What We Hear and Communicate
About All These Great Changes Toward A Digital World :
Based On Your Own Personal Experience Listening To
Over-the-Air Radio Broadcasts.

Remember one of the Newsgroups that you chose to Cross-Post
the original Message to was Rec.Radio.Shortwave which happens
to be a Newsgroup populated by many Avid Shortwave Radio
Listeners (SWLs) and AM & FM Radio Broadcast Listeners (BCLs).

She just posted 30 minutes ago. The fact is, she doesn't want to
admit that she was wrong when she kept insisting (again and again)
that the Web existed in the 1980s.

Even AFTER we explained to her she was mistaken, she still refused to
listen. I hate stubborn people who refuse to listen, even when others
are trying to be helpful.

We were all teens and 20-somethings once.



But then you grew old & close-minded.
