It all depends on you question. There are several very good people who can answer most things you may want to know about.

You must give as much info as you can before any one can be expected to give a correct answer. We will help those who seek to help them selves (no silly one line Q's like what do I do to make a robot?) or how do I make a nuclear reactor out of cardboard boxes and sticky tape. Read your question before presenting it spell ckeck it and the re read it. If you think it will be clearly understood the have ago.

We can only either ingnor you or correct you we may even answer the question.

Best of luck. Go for it.

Speaking of spell check and read/re-read

(Sorry, BrainWave, I couldn't resist!)

Take time to read the FAQ.

Some advice that I can give is:

  • take a look around first. Read a few threads to get a feel for the environment.
  • Don't use abreviations unless you define them first. Not everyone knows what they are.
  • Use the spell checker.

Theoretical questions are acceptable. There are a lot of knowledgeable people here. I'll repeat the other advice about posting smart questions. Give as much information as you can and be clear about what information you need.

Welcome to CR4.

Hi, m2babaey. You've come to the right place! Check out this link for some basic information about CR4.

http://cr4.globalspec.com/faq

Then, post the questions that you have to the appropriate forums. For example, since you're an undergraduate EE student, you may want to visit CR4's Electrical Engineering forum.

Are you asking the question rhetorically, or are you interested in the theoretical probability of getting a right answer to an implied question??

Dear m2babaey,

You have come to a RIGHT PLACE. YOU should have some basic knowledge about the SUBJECT what you are involved and you can ask a specific doubt based on the problem or you can also advise if you know thoroughly. Basic and fundamentals of the subject is a MUST.

CR4 FORUM in my opinion is the BIGGEST FORUM, where proper guidance is available for every member.

Let us all jointly work together for furthe betterment of THE CR4 FORUM.

Well not to be the party pooper, but in GENERAL, student postings are only barely tolerated, mainly because most of us do not look kindly on students trying to get us to do their homework for them. So if your question is of such a basic nature that it appears you are trying to cheat, you can expect to be abused. I equate those who try to get us to do their work for them to Management students, not Engineering students, because they are only learning to get someone else to do the work and they will take the credit for it.

My advice is to be prudent and explain in advance that you TRIED to find the answer on your own but are stuck, or you are having trouble with a particular concept that you cannot learn from textbooks or theoretical lectures (and there are plenty of those). In short, be respectful of the fact that we are VOLUNTEERING to share our time and experience in here for the purpose of improving the PROFESSION, and you are not YET a member! Don't take advantage of our generosity.
