Adding an accountant will only create more drama....."It's not in the budget", "You're over budget", etc.

Yeah Lostagain, good patent attorneys are for sure really smart, but wow. Our guy once spent a full hour with me during a prior art review discussing the implications of the use of the word "and" in a single sentence in a previous patent. And no, it wasn't because he was billing hourly either, he was an in house attorney with lots of work on his plate. After that I felt like my head was going to explode, it was worse than advanced differential equations at MIT. Margarita time!

mcarter, all the three of us would need to add is an accountant and we would be set. Then, if we started our own business the accountant could track our financial losses from arguing among ourselves.....

Posts on this forum alone go back 8 years or more. I use the archives all the time, it's an amazing resource, under utilized in my opinion.
Here is a tip for searching the archives on this site. The search function built into the forum software is very simple, but you can get google to search just this site. Google search can do proximity searches and deal with singular/plural syntax and a bunch more.

The full instructions are here.

But the simple instructions are to type this into google search:

Those that work with perfect 0/1 logic vs. those who think in fractiles and avoid a yes or no answer like the plague.  Hmmm??

I always enjoyed working with my engineering experts using my fuzzy logic.  As for patent attorneys, I have a friend who is retired patent attorney and engineer who was with a big Silicon Valley company.  Indeed it leads to multiple personality disorder, but the guy sure is smart.

We should start our own forum, an attorney, an engineer and a program manager.

He he. I think perhaps you just perfectly captured the difference between the way an engineer and an attorney thinks about things. 

BTW, I hold a few patents (or actually my former employers do) and in the process got to know how good patent attorneys think. Now THERE are some really schizophrenic souls (any patent attorneys who happen to read this excluded of course).

Offgrid, I don't want to give you a bad time, well really I can't resist Wink, the "hot" water heater heats the water that comes out of the hot water side of the faucet, thus the nomenclature that it is a hot water heater is just fine since it heats the water labeled "Hot."  It, like switches, is a bit redundant though.

BTW, just to clear up a point, it is not a hot water heater, its a cold water heater. If the water was already hot you wouldn't need to heat it.LOL
