Two words: "French Engineering".

• gdee 18y ago
  Two counter words: Ariane, Nuclear (as in 80%+ national electricity)... not too shabby as far as engineering goes... I would add Airbus, LHC, etc... but two are enough.

  Have you ever worked with engineers from Les Grandes écoles? You might reconsider your view.

  yeah, as an engineer working in France, I can honestly say that their engineers are pretty good. The problem is that there's another grand école that specialises in producing bureaucrats (seriously!). And for whatever perverse accident of history, they are considered to be la crème de la France, so they call the shots in most large businesses. They consider themselves to be better than lowly engineers, so don't deign to listen to any suggestions about what is technically possible or not. /bitter :-)

  > Two words: "French Engineering". Mmm hmm. How's that American SST coming on? I'm English and your comment even annoyed me.
