Back in the celeron I days it was cool, but even then, I could overclock my 366->550 with air-cooled heat sinks, why the heck would I want to add water/pelletiers/carbon ice to reach 600mhz? 50mhz more... hello?:)
Well if the toold are mediocre, they shouldn't be worry about their sales no? if people need "better tools" they'll go buy it, period. This is a market, microsoft is a buisness.

If you get nausea, it's because the graphics are good and your brain gets into it, I can live with that.
For added pukiness, try with 3D glasses, when you get the right stereo separation and cool depth (don't make the 3D come out of the monitor, make it go from the monitor to the back for the best stereoscopic experience), I have an asus GF2 board with the glasses, it rocks! even if I can't play for 30minutes without getting sick:)
Well IRS is you paying the taxes, if you don't care about the guy next door that doesn't pay his taxes and in the same time makes you pay more because of this, you might not care, but I do. Hell while at it, why have a democratic and economic system if nobody cares about the rules? You live in a society, nothing is perfect, but either you accept the rules, or you go live in a communist place with lower life standard.

Well you'll get your revenge when you'll get a job and ditch everyone of your coworkers and get promoted because you're more competent (that of course, if you're not stuck with a stupid team leader that rather like ass-kissers than competence). 50% of the CS are cheating in your class? that's about the same number of incompetence or low ethics I see.
If rambust's management would have been in the waste disposal buisness, they would have patented crap and sued every single human (or animal for that matter) on the planet... uh oh, I hope none of the management are reading this and getting ideas:)
Heh just a week after my message about rambus, I could rephrase it with lowering the price of the share:) lol
-10% today, 16,800,000 volume... closed at $12.80 from a high near $120.
I have one thing to say, SCREW you people who supported such a company, you diserve to be burned. It's not a flame, it's a fact. When it was flying high, it was clear that rambus's buisness practices were questionnable, and one reason this stock rocketed among others was that people thought they would have cash from any kind of memory sold (so a big cash cow). Sorry but other people developped memory as well and other companies spent $$$ into R&D and RAMBUS cannot just steal that IP away. You supported that by investing?
People who actually bought that thing over 30$, just a rule of thumb, if you're buying a stock with a P/E of over 30-50, either you've got inside scoop on what's gonna happen or you've done serious Due dilligence. FYI, at 15$, the P/E is around 23. at 100$ heh, it's crazy... it's like the.com mania.
The technology itself isn't all bad and I'd like to see the alpha with 5-channel rambus, that would just SCREAM. But I surely won't support a company who base it's buisness model on screwing it's competitors with self-claimed technologies that they didn't produce themselves at 100%.
Everytime I read this since 3 years "ohhhh the prices are going to JUMP hurry hurry, big tax comming, blablabla" people panic, buy the inventory of the companies at current price, and guess what? after that, the sales are almost dead because everybody jam packed a reserve, and they have to lower the prices because of the demand.
There's enough competition now, and it costs next to nothing to produce CD-Rs, wake up people, it's always the same story.
I remember when CD-Rs were costing 20$ each and my 1st writer costed me 2K$, and I wanted to get a big reabate if I'd buy 1000 CD-R and the 3M rep. told me there's no way these thing would ever touch 1$ each:), hmm that was about 4 years ago hehe.. oh well.
you know.. that splash you used to make in the pool when you were a kid?, now you can reach the bottom faster and harder! yes kids, just fart while jumping and you'll do a super-cavitationnal bomb:)
MPAA and RIAA and all these people are old school, I can confirm this simply by the fact that MP3 was known and available WAY before (YEARS) it was popular. They could have reacted to this long time before it jumped out in popularity. Same goes for video, mpeg4 was a work in progress, if someone in there would have done their homework and research, they could have seen it comming. Now they are reacting on a panic level, attacking left and right since many months, and basically in their non-technical reasoning, they think that if they scramble EVERYTHING well, nothing could be cracked that way (i.e. encrypt content device, encript output device, hell encrypt tools to do the transform (i.e. harddrive, CPUID on a processor, etc) ). Fact is, it will never work, there's NO 100% safe system, if one can create it, one can crack it. Period. Truth? look at software piracy, which has YEARS of experience fighting and developping schemes to not get copied. Name me one software that never got cracked?.
If there would be one wise person in these fine establishments, they would realise that making AFFORDABLE stuff in a mass market, if far more profitable to EVERYONE than trying to rip off the last dollar on the top of the pile. I mean, would you copy a DVD if it would be 5-10$? hell no, who would be stupid enough to go to that trouble? Ok some people would, but not the majority, same goes for CD. Why the heck would one want to pay CAN40$ for an import when he can get it on napster for free? knowing that the cd costs 1$ to make (not only the material, but let's say everything around it). I see classical CDs for 5.99$ how come metallica is 20$? I'm sure the 5.99 manages to do a profit, and sells a LOT less than the metallica CD.
Implementing protection scheme to protect a market is one thing, doing it to preserve greed is pointless and WILL BE demolished. Instead of investing shitloads of money developping this, they should invest in MARKETTING and THINKING of new distribution venues. But again, old school people, not able to think straight and think the world revolves around them. Too bad.
There's always adoption for infertile parents, I mean you can save someone's EXISTING life in some cases, I'm not sure those genetic babies will not grow without any long-term problems or being more fragile in the long run. Erm.. fragile... "err honey, I've drop the kids (tm)":)

We'd have filled the total availabled bandwidth really fast (assuming it would have been as popular back then) and needed for technology to catch up, at least now both can sine hands in hands.
Of course one could argue that blocking might have slowed innovation and technological advances, but I doubt at the current state that the technology was in different area composing a cellular phone (microprocessors, battery capacity/size, etc) I don't see how much of a slowdown it would have done. Today cellular phones are using the advances that were required for broader field (uC well, you know, Batteries are also for laptops to name 1 example, etc etc).
The only thing worrying me in all this is if they've blocked anything that could be really useful and could have been broadly deployed without much technological concerns...
Man 3 years ago I shouldn't have sold my AMD stock at a loss... but it's worth the price for seeing intel playing catch-up, who would have thought of that many years ago...
AMD: the only thing needed is a **** dual processor machine and you'll pulverize intel at the second generation when you'll prove yourself to be stable.
I just hope their systems is going to be good because the delays are really a bitch. If it would have bugs on top of that.. yikes...
That's a joke right? You mean lawyers actually got PAIED to bring up something that, ahah, excuse me to say but, if iomega would have done a super-rebate to boost their sales, they would have lowered the price much more...
Shit right now not only this will not cost them anything, but they might actually profit from this. lol... who won the most? lawyers again.
You're right, it's the next big thing, so big that when all the mp3 of the planet will be leeched, and all the existing porn seen, DEMster will come out and we'll be able to share DEM and visualisation maps of the planet, I can't hardly wait to cut off my neighbours's bandwidth to share these cool and huge files:)
Rambus is a good technology (you can see it with P4 systems, the memory bandwidth is good, latency sucks but overall it's not THAT bad). Problem is it's ran by complete greedy morons.
They have something on which they could compete on the market. The hell with the DDR patent, how about making something better than ddr and kill it on a technological standpoint, not in court, that way they would earn their money, earn our respect and have a nice buisness story... right now they don't have any of it, and worse, they'll probably die by their own stupidity and greed.
