(BTW, degree probably hold by many of those who are proposing this terminology change).

Or for a male who is too young to be a "Mister"?

For an EE I vote for Megger, A Megger in the science of Electrical Engineering, sound perfect for me if the name was not a trademark.

I feel sorry to refuel this topic, but i think this article of Ray Bradbury from 1979 is very relevant: http://www.rjgeib.com/thoughts/451/451.html

--- Quote ---      The point is obvious. There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches. Every minority, be it Baptist / Unitarian, Irish / Italian / Octogenarian / Zen Buddhist, Zionist/Seventh-day Adventist, Women's Lib/Republican, Mattachine/FourSquareGospel feel it has the will, the right, the duty to douse the kerosene, light the fuse. Every dimwit editor who sees himself as the source of all dreary blanc-mange plain porridge unleavened literature, licks his guillotine and eyes the neck of any author who dares to speak above a whisper or write above a nursery rhyme.

      Fire-Captain Beatty, in my novel Fahrenheit 451, described how the books were burned first by the minorities, each ripping a page or a paragraph from the book, then that, until the day came when the books were empty and the minds shut and the library closed forever.

i thought they were just perverted, I never figured the race relationship

how about stop being lazy and call it a control chip and a controlled chip. its too advanced for mashed potato explainations

I personally like it because it uses more ink if you write a uni directional control channel. too many confusing distillations, usually used to keep education and skill level costs down, at the expense of causing massive confusion down the line.

That was an exceptionally good read. Right on point.
