Maybe he's not allowed to tell us what happened, it's secret. |

I dunno, while he tends to run in circles with his topics, I usually at least get the idea behind them. For this one, not so much. Was it about having having to fix lame SMPS designs? Was it about managers thinking that basic, datasheet SMPS designs were trade secrets? And how was the OP involved apart from working on fixing designs? Was he accused of giving away secrets? If so, to whom? Finally, what was the link with all the design work being outsourced to asian countries? Perplexed. The good thing with those unclear topics is that everyone can interpret them as they see fit and ramble on about one specific point that may not even have been exposed in the original post. ;D |

i think patents have their place but people are mad greedy with schematics and parts list etc. At some point you are just trying to kill the little guy, and its mad annoying to have to confer with companies over obvious shit that is obscured to certify/validate/confirm/ensure the use of a product. talk about delays & overhead.................. people avoid doing tons of useful stuff because of all the bull shit great way to employ telephone and email fact finders though. Think being part of something big helps? No, they just wanna milk the budget even more. If you imagine a task like a car going down a road, usually the 'fog' caused by 'protection' adds a ton of dinks and dents that need expensive bodywork to repair. Oh I only hit 6 mail boxes this time, and thats just for lab work. but on the other hand artificial barriers that make progress slow make work easy. What are you doing? Waiting on someone, duh! company owner ends up paying, and its super easy to prove you are innocent too, because its always happening, not like you are even lying, and usually the risk of making a random decision has grievous consequences. (at your own risk, no one wants to be associated with that decision). But on the flip side there are often great ideas that get immediately shot down because simple stuff becomes too complicated because of this, so enjoy the general mediocrity (might get around this with skill & talent) . |
