By invoking Ayn Rand, you are implying Objectivism by extension, as that is the name and basis of her philosophy.

But I doubt you have delved very deeply into epistemology.

Then you should not go around touting Ayn Rand and Objectivism (objectivity is another issue) on your board.

re: However, she was also ruthless and wanted others to invoke a ‘selfish’ attitude if you will with no welfare programs, etc. – where only the ‘The Survival of the Fittest’ occurs. The point is that somewhere in her unconsciousness of coming up w/Objectivism she applied tenets of the Communist party – believe it or not IMO.

Rand didn't really care about the "unfit" surviving or not surviving. She simply discounted those who would live off the motive force of others.

You need to go back and re-study Ayn Rand's writings, if you will.

Wow, Duke! What an interesting Thought process. That was like an acid trip without the chemicals!

Oops. A typo in my haste, sorry. "isn" should have been "is".

"froggl" ????????

Duke,

The guy isn a renowned "Promoter" on iHub. He usually doesn't venture into large caps, for obvious reasons.

OK. How about an on-topic post actually mentioning Ms. Rand?

As Ayn Rand was a vociferous Capitalist, I am sure she would praise the beginnings of a free market within Russia. But she would also point out the tenuous position this market is in with ex-KGB chief Putin willing to backtrack to old Communist stances, his continued pandering to his cronies, and his insensitivity to free speech.

I am also very sure she would warn against investing in Russia, even today.

You have obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a ... umm ... who has an opinion on your issue.

Thank you for such an in depth, thought provoking post.

It's a section called Member Conduct. A section header, bolded, impossible to miss.

For most, I suppose.

re: I think that looking at things from a fresh and intelligent perspective

Well, fresh perhaps.

re: I like the management ... But, I've liked Sulja's management from the start and I still do, and I believe they can be trusted and are savvier, harder working, and more honest than they get credit for.

You certainly must be from a different galaxy, Andromedus.

I just bought a Latitude D820 notebook with docking station and external 160G hard drive. I do regular full-system backups. I moved the optical drive up in the Bios boot sequence so it looks for a bootable disk there before accessing the internal HD. If I have a hard failure, I can insert the recovery CD, boot from that, then rebuild the entire system from the external HD. Pretty sweet, IMO.

re: It is common practice to design a single application specific integrated cicruit (ASIC) to perform (ideally) all of the electronic computation and control functions of a system.

Seagate does, in fact, use an ASIC in their FDE drives.

Wow! I do not believe I have ever seen that many mullets in one place. I take it, no cameras allowed?

Q. How can I as a corporate administrator manage recovery keys?

A. Administrators can handle recovery keys in whatever manner is most appropriate to their infrastructure. In enterprise environments, the most efficient way to handle key material is to use BitLocker's ability to escrow the keys in Active Directory. This can be enabled via Group Policy or Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Domain administrators can access recovery keys whenever they are needed by using scripts or simple Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) commands. Another option is to store recovery keys on USB media. The USB devices can be kept separate from the machine, and the enterprise administrator can implement an extra layer of physical access control to help protect those keys.

Q. If I lose my recovery key, would my data be unrecoverable?

A. Yes. When in recovery mode, the user needs the recovery password or key to unlock the encrypted volume. Therefore, it is highly recommended to escrow the recovery password to either Active Directory or other safe location. However, this is a valuable feature when a PC asset is decommissioned. BitLocker will include scripts that place the machine into a recovery state so that only the recovery key holder can access the disks contents. This is very valuable when PCs are being sold or redeployed.

re: "AMD is back where it was before it went to war with Intel," he said.

I knew this would happen, it always does. But I must admit, it happened more quickly than I would have thought.

EDIT: Is this a "grub"?

re: Microsoft uses a WAVX Server...

Link, please.

re; cross-licensing

I would think a pending cross-licensing agreement is far more likely in the case of Apple/Cisco than in Intel/Transmeta.

Unfreakin' believable! Captain Trips is identified by the doob in his hand. The admin actually wants to rewrite history in an attempt to be PC.

re: Posted By Alwaysup

Hi there, scorpio.

A thinly veiled threat there, Pete?

Not nice. And against the site TOU's as well.

re: I believe a lawsuit could be in talks against some members of this board, but this is just my opinion. There clearly seems to be some illegal activity with some people attempting to bring this company down, it's very obvious to me. They are on here every day, all day damaging the company's reputation. One word comes to mind, SLANDER.

If Sulja Bros was my company, I know I would be gunning for a few of these hardcore basher types on this board.

re: Nice little piece of self-aggrandizement

I must have touched a nerve with one public post and four rapid-fire private messages all saying the same thing.

re: BTW, no one on this board has a CLUE!!!

Au contraire. I believe at least one person on this board has ALL the answers. But those answers will most likely be discovered in a different venue to the north.

re: all you preach is pure speculation till the hearing also scaring those wishing to take the risk

If this was true, wouldn't the counterpart also be true? To wit:

All YOU preach is pure speculation till the hearing also trying to suck in those who do not know better.

re: Jannie, I had you judged all wrong. You don't care about shareholders, you care about yourself.

That's exactly what Jannie should be doing. Caring about herself. Just as you should be caring about yourself.

It is the company's job to care about shareholders. A job that, clearly, they are remiss to perform.

re: Please let everyone of us make our own decisions.

Has Binzur somehow magically removed your ability of self-determination by sending special messages through your computer screen?

I would recommend bonds and CD's for you from now on.

Anyone have any comments/opinions on the Kel-Tec P-3AT (.380) semi-auto? I'm looking at it as an "everyday/everywhere" concealed carry piece.

Also, if anyone has fired it's older cousin, the P-32 (.32 ACP), I'd appreciate any comparison comments. I will look for comments, but will be unable to post here once happy hour ends.

Thanks!

re: have you ever seen a fab bill a customer's customer directly?

Absolutely never.

A contract die sales agreement is usually negotiated within a set of standard terms, including an agreement to purchase a minimum amount over a specified time, providing a design which conforms to set process design rules, agreement to payment terms (net 30, net 60, etc), and agreement to dispute resolution terms. New customers/weak customers are usually required to provide part of the payment before the first wafer starts begin. There is also usually an agreement on how engineers from supplier and customer will interface throughout the production commitment. Lastly, there is usually a commitment from the contract supplier on guaranteed minimum yields (good die/wafer as determined at wafer sort).

Of course, this all depends on whether the customer actually has something from which to produce masks

re: Also, if there is a big order from a reputable company (like Embarq), I believe TSMC will direct bill the company making the order and give us our cut at the end. I believe precedent has been set for this.

Have you ever negotiated or managed a die sales agreement with a contract semiconductor fabricator?

Let me assure you, it simply does not work like this.

If, on the other hand, you are simply making this stuff up as you go along (as I think you are doing), knock yourself out.

Mr. mas,

It is very poor form for a board moderator to personally attack a poster on his board with taunts of:

You are a flat out liar ...

and

Instead of lying through your teeth ...

Not to mention a TOU offense.

You fail in your attempt to cloak personal attacks in religion.

The word is "drivel", by the way.

No worries, mate. I'm sure you garnered all the TOS reports necessary with your prior post.

It takes a LOT of gall to call a TOS violation on jannie after that incredible cheap shot you took at her based on a medical condition.

As opposed to the straight salary earned by the pumpers?

Stuckholders. If they can muster a class action suit.

That question will be asked right after they are read their Miranda rights.

re: I discern that you are in need of a saviour far worse than I.

Fascinating. So, in your opinion, there is a hierarchy of those needing salvation? Quite a religion.
