Forgive me for spoiling the list with my tears.
Day after day, I feel that everybody is pretending to be God: aiming
to create again the world. Instead of endeavouring to improve what
exists already. It is absolutely mandatory to tell "I did it" (even if
it is worse than it was before...)
Things are working very bad, or not working at all. My wife calls me
a dozen times per day because the ADSL connection is not working.
I can't maintain a sustained conversation with my cellular telephone.
It do not send (or do not receive) international SMS, either.
Computers crash without any presuntive reason.
Satellite television is sometimes a Rio de Janeiro mosaic carnaval.
etc. etc.
Isn't it a shame for us engineers of today, after the novel heritage
that we received from our parents?
Best and very sad regards from Portugal,

Isn't it a shame Quoting Bruce Lane <[email protected]>:
Six-sigma disease was all over the place, unfortunately. I spent
seven years with Motorola, in their former Communications Sector,
and it always felt like we spent more time on politics and "quality
meetings" than we did actually doing what we were, supposedly, hired
to do (fix things!)
Boeing was just as bad, if not worse. Spent six years there, mostly
in computing support. Upper management got all excited about some
bizarre book called "Who Moved My Cheese?" and something equally
bizarre called "Tiger Teams."
I suppose it all meant something to the paper-pushers. To those of
us on the tech/engineering side, it was worse than useless as it
tended to distract from doing a good job.
As for "ISO 9001" or whatever -- Don't even get me started!
Keep the peace(es).

that's a classic quote from Deming
Was it Deming, or the follow-lings who decided that "six-sigma" is
really 4.5 sigma, because the former isn't realistic (or isn't
alliterative)? A former employer put me through that BS, along with ISO
900*, which amounts to "you can make crap, as long as you document it
and try to do better."
