Reader's poll...who do you think was the hottest actress of the 30's/40's?
My vote goes to Myna Loy.
(just watched Thin Man again -- finally have it on DVD)
If only I was born 60 years earlier.
Of course I'd be 103 and probably dead by now...
vc, you appear to be very knowledgable concerning the silicon, fabs, etc., in this field...
care to share your background?
oh, and btw, if you DON'T care to share your background, it will be without prejudice, at least on my part

"Here's a slide illustrating how the keys are held on a PC"
"Intel is telling its hardware and software partners that the ability to migrate keys and the like is an essential part of a system design."
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Wave already there?
[edit: great minds...]
Inquirer article...
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=11614
Intel is telling its hardware and software partners that the ability to migrate keys and the like is an essential part of a system design.
If there's a motherboard failure, the backed up encrypted files will still need the module keys to decrypt them. If the TPM fails, using maintenance utilities will restore all the keys. People maintaining PCs using trusted computing will need to create something called "migration blobs", so that in the event of computer theft or other disasters, everything can be restored to a fresh PC. These "key blobs" are stored on hard drives, so backup utility software must ensure that all the keys are available on a drive when the backups are made. When a restore is necessary, the backed up files should be moved to the proper place on an HDD, and the module will recognise the same key blobs as if they were the original.
HUGE apologies if this had been mentioned here in the past...

My husband was not happy with my mood swings, so he bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be able to monitor my moods.
When I'm in a good mood, it turns green. When I'm in a bad mood, it leaves a big fucking red mark on his forehead. Maybe next time he'll buy me a real ring...

SHEESH!!!
http://www.marinij.com/Stories/0,1413,234~24407~1637202,00.html
An adventurous adult male chipmunk is being flown from Marin to Utah in a private plane today to rejoin rodents he left behind after he took a road trip to Terra Linda.
The chipmunk, known by staff at WildCare in San Rafael as "chipmunk 1344 from Utah," apparently didn't know he was hitching a ride when he hopped into Dixie Goldsby's Honda Insight while she camped in southeastern Utah a little more than a week ago.
$300 bucks to take the second cousin of a rat back to the wilds of utah, where in all likelyhood it will end up the meal of a peregrine falcon.
The chipmunk could not be released in Marin legally or ethically because he is not native and because ecosystem balance is important, Piazza said.
"It would be like taking a human (from the city) and dropping him off in the Adirondacks," Piazza said.
Take me!! Drop me off in the Arirondacks and see if I complain...would LOVE the opportunity to get out of the chipmunk, er, rat race for a spell...
There is, Buzz...buy when matt sells...
zoom, point 2 (Huge trades go off at the end of the day and AH all on the buy side forcing the price up.)
I'm getting an AH drop to 3.363 from yahoo and island...and an AH drop to 3.50 on Nasdaq.
THat said, it's irrelevant. This is not your father's Wave. Volume is much higher, on average, than 1999. It will take spectacular partner news, or any revenue news to get Wave above $4 in the short term. Of course, the flip side of that coin is the strong strong base we are seeing above $3.
Bluef, I don't expect an announcement from this show, and I've stated that in the past.
There was a general "we'll be showing out stuff at the show -- be sure to drop by" a couple of days in advance of the show.

This past spring's IDF had a "look at the cool stuff we are doing using a NSM TPM" that had very little effect on the price( http://www.wave.com/news/press_archive/03/030218idf.html ), but was followed a month later by the NSM licensing deal (http://www.wave.com/news/press_archive/03/030327NSM.html ). This lead, ultimately (it's my belief) to the seminal Intel announcement.
This is Intel's show. Wave news will come later.
The price is fine. people should stop sweating it.
Snack, for those that aren't seeing the bigger picture (that picture being the crest of recent hardware security initiatives of all flavors) the recent agreements announced by Wave are no different than the old Atmel, KidCard, Hauppauge announcements from years ago.
I don't think they (the old agreements) were fraudulent -- I think they were a couple of years before their time.
The new agreements look achingly similar -- and it's because they are. But the background has changed significantly.
Let's hope it's the background Wave needs to execute...

That's how I read it too rachel/elise, but since I'm not a 'cpa', I thought that 'I could be wrong'.
In any event, it's a non-issue in the grander (Lagrander?) scheme of things.
Hardware security at the edge is close (if not past) the point of no return. The inertia that Wave was experiencing as recently as a year ago has been converted to momentum...and what momentum it is.
The only question that remains is the size of the piece of an ever expanding pie Wave will be able to slice off.
BAck to the sidelines for me. real life beckons...

LaGrande is a mystery to me, waiting to be solved. Here I stand in my Trench-coat, dying to get involved (trivia test...what is that puerile set of lyrics from?)
Rather than project too far into the future (only recommended for Miss Cleo and her Tarot toting minions) I am taking this one step at a time.
IDF will produce something of interest, but nothing revenue related (my one prediction for IDF). The price is not an issue with me.
The next 10Q should provide more information about the NSM deal.
Beyond that, there should be a 10Q in the next 9 months with healthy revenues, or there will be h-e-double hockey sticks to pay.
Beyond that, it's like those old maps..."there be monsters"

First tokers of Health Canada cannabis call it disgusting, want money back
Updated at 17:52 on September 15, 2003, EST.
OTTAWA (CP) - Some of the first patients to smoke Health Canada's government-approved marijuana say it's "disgusting" and want their money back.
"It's totally unsuitable for human consumption," said Jim Wakeford, 58, an AIDS patient in Gibsons, B.C. "It gave me a slight buzziness for about three to five minutes, and that was it. I got no other effect from it."
whathefook?
I know it's been over a decade since I've lived in Canada, but, whaaaat??????
The part I like the BEST?
The marijuana is being grown for Health Canada deep underground in a vacant mine section in Flin Flon, Man., by Prairie Plant Systems on a $5.75-million contract. The department originally intended that the product go first to accredited researchers to demonstrate whether or not cannabis is medically effective.
That's a zinc mine.
I used to work there (part of an engineering co-op program that went horribley wrong. Don't EVER go to northern Manitoba in the Winter...unless it's harvest time, of course. It's a constant 65 degrees (funkenhite) underground there, with humidity around 90%))
I could have been part of this!
Now that the gov't has to sell the stuff, they should hire a consultant to improve quality control.. I'd volunteer, but I'm in Singapore, and that kinda stuff is frowned on here.
Spider Robinson might be available...
Quick question for those coaching under 9s (or thereabouts)
Practices always end up with a short (10 minute a side) game. This always goes well, with good passing and pretty good defending (a weakness the team has that we are working on).
HOWEVER, when they get on the pitch against another team, the first half is universally bad. There is no pressure against the opposing team, no attempt at tackles, and generally a hesitant approach. Second half is better, but still not up to the level practices are.
I know WHY this is happening. The kids are more comfortable 'attacking' their friends. Against a team of players they don't know they don't have the confidence to get in their faces. It isn't until they played against them for awhile. Needless to say, the latter part of the season is better than the first part.
Wondering if anyone else has seen this, and what approach they would suggest.

kickyballs, I agree, except for one point..."keep competition to a minimum."
I think competiton is great, and essential.
However, you followed that line with "and motivated players are competitive and motivated people", so I'm not sure I'm following you.

Weby,
"A share price rise of a dollar a month gives us $7 in 2003...$19 in 2004......$31 in 2005....and $44 in 2006."
WOW!
Weby, so it's true? 2006 is that year we have a leap month? Is the 13th month at the end of the year, or will it get stuck in the middle giving the kids a longer summer vacation?
tongue-in-cheekily yours,

Pirates of the Carib...by far the funnest (and funniest) movie I've seen in a long time. Will have to get the DVD so my kids can watch it (8 year old is fine with the skeletons and such in the comfort of the den, but NOT in a pitch black theater when they're 12 feet tall...)

k2,
when ever I get groans from an engineering team about some scut work that needs to be done, or extra hours that need to be worked to meet a customer deadline, I tell them "If was supposed to be fun ALL the time, they wouldn't have to pay you!"
That usually shuts them up...

Johnny Depp was an interesting and unusual character
I defy you to name a movie where he was anything but an interesting and unusual character...
This is on my list to see, if it isn't banned in Singapore.
Last IDF there was only one PR
http://www.wave.com/news/press_archive/03/030218idf.html
and that had zero effect on the price
However it was a very obvious (in that rosy 'hind-sight is 20-20' kinda way) point to the NSM licensing agreement that showed up a month later
http://www.wave.com/news/press_archive/03/030327NSM.html
I would be very surprised to see any kind of deployment type of news at IDF, but I would be disappointed if there weren't any validating-the-technology type of PRs that keep the faithful faithful, and perhaps stuff obnoxious online financial reporters.
I'm more than happy with the price where it sits now (the fake break, followed by the slippery slope was fun to watch...this is such a predictable stock. you can almost guarantee a 10 a.m. low on a non-news day)
Serious stock price appreciation will happen with revenues, and not, IMO, before.
alea,

2BS, I understand your legitimate bias toward Apple (and after helping a young lady set her G5 up for 802.11, and marvelling at the ease, I am VERY close to becoming a convert), but I wonder if you can tell me (us) if MACs are inherently more secure, from an OS point of view, than Windows machines.
I'm running XP (and had a BSoD today, for the first time in many many months) and I get daily updates from Redmond telling me another security patch is ready for downloading...
