I'm gone. Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track, I'm gone, gone, and nothing's going to bring me back. I'm gone. 06/29/2023

Because they have MANY years of experience supplying embedded controllers to Bosch, GM, Ford and many others. They understand the intricacies of being an automotive supplier. From the 8061 to CAN and beyond. Engine controllers, ABS, car area network. And that is just a reportage of what they did in the 80's and 90's. I am retired now and don't have visibility into what's going on now.
Tick Tock.
POOF™!
Possible foundry business for Intel?
Ford Redesigning Parts to Use More Accessible Chips, Weighing Direct Deals with Chip Foundries

I am hoping this could be good news for Intel Corp. I'm retired now but both my wife and I supported Ford during our careers at Intel. I don't know where Ford sources their CPU's now but Pat Gelsinger (CEO) is ramping up Intel's foundry business. It could be a good match.
Of course, we each need to make our own informed decisions. As it should be.
CDC just announced that masks are no longer a recommendation for those who had their last COVID vaccine at least 2 weeks ago. This applies to indoors or outdoors, small gatherings or large. No word on public transportation but it sounded like guidance on that would be forthcoming.
Good to know because I stopped wearing a mask 2 weeks after my last vaccination anyway. There still seems to be a problem on enforcement though. For instance, how would a grocery store know who is vaccinated and who is not? Maybe we get a red "V" tattooed on our forehead? More likely, stores will just continue to require masks.
You need to drive a Tesla to the POD to get your COVID vaccine. LOL!
We aren't supposed to be into philosophical sparring here.
Why did you ignore the simple questions i asked.
The kid is a deaf-mute.
which type of capitalism do you subscribe...
The kid could have asked me for cash. I would have given it to him after he explained his situation. The minute it becomes theft instead of a donation, he has crossed the boundary. Being poor does not allow one to avoid the law. At least, that's the way it used to be.
Yes. They are both taking that which is not theirs.
Over decades Republicans have been more corrupt. What do you have against fact???
We all know there is corruption on both sides, but there also is no doubt that, over decades, more corruption has come from the conservative side than from the Democrats.
The right is far more so
See the behavior of the insurrectionists at the Capitol or GOP leadership on any given day, for examples.
Dr. Francis Collins grew up in the same little town in Virginia where I grew up. He is only 2 years older than I am. We went to the same high school. He led the Human Genome Project which mapped the human genome. He now is the Director of National Institutes of Health (NIH). Anthony Fauci reports to him. He is revered in my little home town as a near-deity. His reputation is about to become very sullied. And that is an understatement: https://nicholaswade.medium.com/origin-of-covid-following-the-clues-6f03564c038
The principle that the end justifies the means is in individualist ethics regarded as the denial of all morals. In collectivist ethics it becomes necessarily the supreme rule; there is literally nothing which the consistent collectivist must not be prepared to do if it serves ‘the good of the whole,’ because ‘the good of the whole' is to him the only criterion of what ought to be done. The raison d’etat, in which collectivist ethics has found its most explicit formulation, knows no other limit than that set by expediency—the suitability of the particular act for the end in view…There can be no limit to what [the collectivist state’s] citizen must be prepared to do, no act which his conscience must prevent him from committing, if it is necessary for an end which the community has set itself or which his superiors order him to achieve.

You may want to edit your post while you can. Your first sentence states that you and your son both took the vaccine. That was either an error or you are really some twisted person. Well, I suppose it could be both.
BREAKING NEWS: The parents don't care what you call it, either.
Here's the deal: Parents will evaluate the data and consult with their pediatrician and decide what to do regarding vaccinating their children.
I'm pretty sure they don't give a damn what some pseudonym called "dropdeadfred" has to say.
You are adamantly anti-vaccine for the COVID vax. Newmedman thinks the vaccine is helpful. You have both read as much data as you (each) think is needed to form your decisions.
So you disagree. Fine. That doesn't give you a pass to be an asshole nor to call newmedman a monster. If your intent is to try to convince others of your stance on the vaccine, you are doing yourself a disservice. Which, at this point, is probably a fool's errand because others have already read the data, made their own decisions and have gotten the vaccination. Or not, depending on their own personal evaluation and decision.
Unless your only motivation is you get off pissing in other's bowl of Wheaties.
Veal. We haven't been able to find decent (or even indecent) veal in the stores for years. Seems the political pressure put the veal farmers out of business.
But there are a few German and Italian dishes that just do not taste right unless made with veal.
Your comments are welcomed.
My point was that we were not discussing other board posters either specifically or generally. When the other poster started making comparisons between board posters and the topic we were discussing (Rand, Atlas Shrugged, Objectivism), it seemed to me that it was totally from left field. The only motive I could discern was to start another fight with others on the board. I didn't think he was referring specifically to me but, if he was, I don't care.
I just prefer a debate participant tries to stay on the debate topic. Until the debate no longer interests me. Then I stop participating.
Well, Xu's lawyer misspelled Jensen's last name, so there's that.
Everything fits IMO!
I expect you will see a Starlink IPO before a SpaceX IPO. Musk has even hinted at a Starlink IPO sometime in the future. As to whether they would take cryptocurrency, who knows?
You are offering a false equivalency. Objectivism is certainly not a straw man argument nor is it a belief that no one holds, an ideology that no one believes in or a thing that no one would ever say.
In fact, you are offering a straw man argument yourself. You can be truthful in saying you don't agree with such but you cannot truthfully say no one agrees with same just because it doesn't fit your personal world view.
And in doing so you have revealed yourself to be devoid of rational thought. Now, I am done with you.
You do not like the novel. I get it. Actually, I got it the first time.
You state: "And you know as well a I do that this in particular IS a pertinent criticism of some posters on this board."
If you want to make that point, it is your prerogative. Personally, I see no need to extend a discussion of a novel published in 1957 to any current poster on this board unless the goal is simply to stir up a fight for no apparent reason.
I believe trying to have a rational discussion with you is most likely a fool's errand so I will end it with that.
Well, I hope that lengthy thesis left you "feeling" better.
BTW, the tripartite Atlas Shrugged movie truly sucked. On that point we can certainly agree.
And when men live by trade--with reason, not force, as their final arbiter--it is the best product that wins, the best performance, the man of best judgment and highest ability--and the degree of a man's productiveness is the degree of his reward. This is the code of existence whose tool and symbol is money. Is this what you consider evil?

What could possibly go wrong with that?

Advice: Don't try to recruit an attorney on a pink sheet message board. You will end up with another Mills with a different name. You should have already learned that lesson.
Find a local lawyer who specializes in business/corporate law to represent you. Of course, you will have to pay for their time and effort.
No, I haven't looked at astrobin but I will.
I bought the Meade back in the '90's when I was still working and manhandling the telescope was much easier.
I have contact info for a local guy who specializes in telescope enclosures. I would use the telescope much more if I invest in a setup like that.
I have used a 10" Meade Schmidt Cassegrain telescope for years. I highly recommend it for imaging and viewing. My only issue these days is the unit weighs a TON and I'm getting too old to schlepp it in and out of the house. I hope to build a decent enclosure for it one of these days.

SHANJ still over the years has been mean to me.
You must have grown up reading Li'l Abner comics.
No, your stereotype is not accurate. At all.
The man who serves as his own attorney has an idiot for a client.
Apple's IPO was December 12, 1980 at $22. There have been four forward stock splits since then: In 1987, 2000 and 2005 (each a 2 for 1 forward split) and in 2014 (a 7 for 1 forward split).
Indeed, trying to compare Lightwave Logic to Apple is a false equivalency.
