Could it be that if these foreign companies were gearing up to launch suit against the US government for violating some trade pact stipulations, that the US government decided it'd be better to go after Micron before they come under legal scrutiny from Microns competitors? It looks like Micron sought to buy out one of those foreign competitors, this could have just been the spark for a larger situation?
Could it be? Ah, no. Rampant speculation, complete rubbish.
The basis of the media reports I have seen on Micron et al are that they are being investigated for trying to lower prices in order to force out a competitor. This presumably relates to the Hynix situation last year. It is not about raising prices, but coordinated lowering. Specific allegatins will probably not be clear until any charges or suits are filed.
He writes in a very idiosyncratic manner but it is hardly bad. These are personal reviews rather than a commercial endeavour of his. If you don't like them, don't read them.

I think I have the same problem although it sounds less acute. When my wife talks to me I can't hear her. The disorder seems to be hereditary because my kids can't seem to watch tv and hear their parents either...
While commenting on the US/China standoff is interesting and certainly related to current events, it has nothing whatsoever to do with technology. Sometimes in his vigour to promote the hacker culture and the guiding force that tech exerts on the world, Jon tends to lose perspective (witness his RPGs explain global society piece).
In this piece Jon essentially argues that because this has nothing to do with technology, it is a very interesting statement on technology. Quite a stretch. And while the net is great - it is not going to usurp the role of nation states any time soon. For most of the world it is essentially just a good information delivery platform - not the foundation of their community.
Um, no offence but what are you talking about? Your use of Telus for Telstra indicates you aren't very familiar with Australia or its internet access. Telstra doesn't have a monopoloy - the situation is more of an natural oligopoly created by the immense cost of building networks covering such a large geographical area. Then you make the point that non-profit means low quality. No demonstration of that: take Linux for example.
Perhaps better to focus on the excellent technical work being done here than spout pseudo-economics...
A quick point regarding the summary of this story. Selling an asset is not really a way to hide assets from creditors. You sell the asset, you receive something (in this case shares) in return. Certainly changing the asset but not hiding it. Worth being careful with these sort of throwaway comments when you are talking about solvency!

The whole process is expensive. Receptions are blown out of proportion. Rings are just part of the deal - and a big part.
Who cares if there is a resale market - you aren't likely to sell it anyway...
You will have to live with this decision for a long time. You sure you aren't just being a bit cheap?
If it is intended to be a literary work or some other form of art, it fails.
The style and technical aspects of his writing are just not that good IMHO.
The medium may be interesting - potentially even the future of serialised stories - but I doubt the author is the one to make best use of it.
Perhaps this is what you are taught in university, but in the real world, of course it matters.
Firstly, Malaysia and the US are not of equal wealth.
Secondly, Income levels are far lower there in spite of the 3.8 exchange rate.
Any yes, this is with a fixed exchange rate to the US$.

No it is the real thing - the release version of 8.1. Prob need to refresh your browser.

Perhaps you should lok at reducing the work load to assist with your multitasking effort. Let's see, what could you cut out......?

Maybe reading and posting slashdot while trying to do all of the above!

Of course, if this approach was taken we might not have Linux right now!

And sells for about HKD50,000 in Hong Kong. That is about US$6,400.

So, how many should I ship over????

Clearly an attempt to try to build mystique around a genuine cultural change through the use of something which is completely irrelevant.
Looks like someone has run out of good ideas for articles.
