    But any of the attendees might have been, which means he arranged a nice way to spread it. I don't think that is likely, but I don't think that incident even rates in the top 10 things this guy is responsible for.

    Yeah, for the CPu. Now add in the FSB, the south bridge the graphics card, etc. These ARM SoCs contain all that.

    Nope, they lack the middle class and what little middle class they have has those nice investments that would go away.

    I never said we were special, just that the USA and China's economy are linked too tightly for the GP's advice to be any good.

    How so?
    The FDIC insures deposits up to 100k. This means all those main st folks would be doing fine.

    No way, the SEC is in on the fucking deal.

    But if they are separated one small bank can fail without taking them all down. I suggest splitting on both. Functional levels and Maximum deposits/value.

    You are wondering?

    I would be willing to guarantee they are doing something like that.

    You need to look at more recent numbers. Intel could make a CPU maybe with similar power, but we are talking about SoCs here. So you need everything in that low a power budget.

    No Core i3 system will make it on 18 watts. Only the CPU will, which is great if you don't want to actually use it. Even at 20 watts, no x86 system can compete.

    By the same power budget I meant the one the OLPC operates on. I should I have more clear.

    US investors steal from the tax payers. They have been proven not trustworthy, this means this sort of thing must be done.

    You mean below fair market value interest. You see those loans were given because the banks needed to borrow money and could not, because they did not want to pay enough interest. You can always get a loan if you pay enough interest. So any loan given was below market levels, meaning the difference was a free giveaway to the banks.

    No, open books are required for public investment. Otherwise an informed investment cannot be made. Capitalism requires informed actors, this is clearly a method around that. This just means the rules need to be changed so it cannot happen again.

    There is when you are doing as a scam. They want public investment, but not to be a public company. You do that when you are selling something is that worthless. If they don't know the bag you're selling has a cat not a pig in it you can get a lot more for it.

    Which is why they are doing it this way. This is a scam, they sell billions in this worthless company then when it fails so sad too bad. If they had to open the books the cat would be out of the bag.

    Loans that were given at far below market rates. Which means the taxpayer could have made more money on those loans or via other investment. No matter how you slice or spin it this was a huge free money give away to the banks.

    If they were too big to fail, clearly they were too big to be allowed to survive. At the very least each one should have been broken up.
