DRAM Price Fixing Investigations

An anonymous reader writes "A few days ago after FTC antitrust charges against Rambus were thrown out, the U.S. Department of Justice and EU have both begun probes against the 4 largest memory makers in accusation of price fixing during 2001/2002. News.com.com has information regarding the pending EU investigation. Anandtech and Silcon.com both have primers on the U.S. investigation. If you thought you paid too much for RAM in 2002, chances are you may have been more right than you originally thought."

    For your viewing pleasure (and to defeat the lameness filter), we bring you part of Socrates' Apology: How you have felt, O men of Athens, at hearing the speeches of my accusers, I cannot tell; but I know that their persuasive words almost made me forget who I was - such was the effect of them; and yet they have hardly spoken a word of truth. But many as their falsehoods were, there was one of them which quite amazed me; - I mean when they told you to be upon your guard, and not to let yourselves be deceived by the force of my eloquence. They ought to have been ashamed of saying this, because they were sure to be detected as soon as I opened my lips and displayed my deficiency; they certainly did appear to be most shameless in saying this, unless by the force of eloquence they mean the force of truth; for then I do indeed admit that I am eloquent. But in how different a way from theirs! Well, as I was saying, they have hardly uttered a word, or not more than a word, of truth; but you shall hear from me the whole truth: not, however, delivered after their manner, in a set oration duly ornamented with words and phrases. No indeed! but I shall use the words and arguments which occur to me at the moment; for I am certain that this is right, and that at my time of life I ought not to be appearing before you, O men of Athens, in the character of a juvenile orator - let no one expect this of me. And I must beg of you to grant me one favor, which is this - If you hear me using the same words in my defence which I have been in the habit of using, and which most o

    Perhaps that's why the Dells at school (bought in 2002) have had so many problems-Dell buys from the less-than-reliable manufacturers. Lets see, 60 computers, about 8 hard drive failures, 2 monitors that wouldn't work out of the box, a memory stick that went bad. Fscking Dells.

    That's wrong on so many levels...

    By default you think you're right when you're thinking things. Otherwise you wouldn't be thinking them.

    You're either right or wrong, 'more right' is sloppy grammar. You could say 'more accurate'.

    Perhaps: 'your suspicions may have been vindicated'.
