re: Scams do not recover in stock price, they continue to take money from stuckholders.
Of course. That is their raison d’être.
re: RIM was more likely compelled to do so
MOST assuredly.
My personal experience with TSMC is a couple of years old. Minimum assured volumes have risen since then. Suffice it to say it would require multiple millions of units.
Now it makes more sense. eSilicon is one of a bunch of "Design Center Alliance" partners of TSMC:
http://www.tsmc.com/english/services/s010428.htm
eSilicon will take the NRE up front and will have lost nothing when this thing does not come to fruition. The PR makes it sound like TSMC is taking a chance on Rim. No way. No risk. If nothing comes of this (and it won't), eSilicon gets the NRE and is happy (can they sell those restricted shares ASAP?)
There will never be enough volume for Rim to get in TSMC's lobby.
Lycus,
Do you have any idea the minimum volume required to contract fab at TSMC? I used to manage contract manufacturing through TSMC for a couple of Intel products.
Rim's entire requirement would probably not exceed one lousy wafer boat (if indeed they had a product, if indeed they did have a customer, which I seriously doubt they do).
You would think they would try to PR something at least slightly plausible, even if it is not true.
Unfreakingbelievable!
And you can only learn ONE thing over there ... the mindless drivel of unconstrained pumpage.
No wonder you cannot find anything to suit your tastes here.
Yeah. Try that.
go for it and plug the monitor into the other jack on the back of your computer
[edit] Try going to control panel/display/settings
See if the Intel graphics chip is included in the drop-down
If so, select it
[edit] of course, plug your monitor into the other jack, if you select this option
re: Intel® 82865G Graphics Controller
It's still in the computer. It is an integrated graphics chip on your motherboard.
Well, I have only made a few posts on Rim. The reason I have made those few posts is that I have over 20 years management experience in the semiconductor industry and am absolutely astounded that this company has been able to publicly defy the very basic aspects of what is required to develop, produce and distribute semiconductor products (whether captively fabbed or produced by contractors).
I realize that most if not all who are enthralled by this firm are not knowledgeable of the basics of this industry. That is a shame, for the management of this firm can easily influence such folks. Such is the basis for this firm's not-so-thinly vieled subterfuge.
I do not, for one moment, expect to change the opinions of such folks. Their faith and belief systems are unshakeable. As I have seen in similar cases in the past, those who "believe" continue to believe even after the refutation of those beliefs is unavoidable. I suppose such folks simply don't want to admit a mistake or logical lapse. Especially when it involves admission of making a bad investment.
It simply defies logic.
I am entertained by the constant spin, however.
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the outer limits.

Ronster,
Management under Barrett and closer to home for me, Smith, was the reason I decided to do something else, after being at Intel almost 20 years.
As a counter balance statement, my employment at Intel was one of the best gigs I ever had until the last few years.
Bruce,
I had heard some time ago that Winpatrol only does an intrusion check every 60 seconds, allowing it to have a lesser impact on CPU utilisation. The downside of this is that a trojan can install itself and pull down Winpatrol between checks. Basically, it could tell you what has happened not what is happening.
This was some time ago. I'm sure some newer versions have come out since then. But this was an issue on earlier versions. Don't know if it has been improved or not.
Whatever happened to Smith, he brought it on himself, IMO.
I use a 10" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope from Meade. Boy howdy, they sure didn't sell that puppy below cost

re: if those utilities are re-stringing with ACCC cable, they deserve the blame on the next outage. LOL
My experience dates back to 1977. That was almost 30 years and three careers ago. I have no idea what they are using today but this was long before the advent of ACCC cable.
Lycus,
re: Were their priorities to line their pockets at the expense of doing routine preventative maintenance? TIA.
Many years ago, I was a distribution engineer for a large electric utility on the east coast. Early one April (happened to be Easter that year), we had a freak ice storm much like what St. Louis experienced this year.
Customers were without power for weeks. My peers and I worked almost non-stop, only taking off for a few hours every two days to grab some shuteye. I've never worked so hard in my life.
There was nothing the utility could have done to prepare or lessen the impact of that storm ahead of time. Trees and power poles were snapping like toothpicks under the weight of the ice. Standing in wooded areas, it sounded like cannons firing.
We all worked hard to get power restored to all areas, but it took time. It takes time to pull the poles and reset new ones, then restring the conductor. One pole at a time.
We pulled in contractors from all over the east. It still took weeks.
Just a comment from someone who has been there, done that.
wbmw,
A very succinct and accurate review. I was there for a while and it matches what I saw.
re: the most likely candidate being OVM, or Ouvonics Memory, a licensed technology that showed real benefits over both NOR and NAND. But the readiness for this technology kept on slipping, and I'm not sure it's even a viable technology going forward.
Zeev Hed (over on the Zeev's Turnips board) is impressively educated in OVM technology. He could discuss the current state of the tech., if you want to get more on OVM.
re: Big things soooooooooooooooooon!
Yup. Probably another "accurate model" coming out of Big Ahmed's Telecom and Used AK-47 Emporium with locations in Baghdad, Fallujah, and coming soon to Basra.
re: In this case the shipment of Cupria does not = rev
Suspending reality for a moment and assuming Cupria does exist, you are saying they are giving the units away. Now that's a great business model. Perhaps that's what the units are worth. Lifting the suspension of reality, that's still what the "units" are worth.
For the first time, I find myself agreeing with Grave Youth. Rink has taken the idea of board management to a ludicrous extreme.
Board management, if used at all, should only apply to enforcement of site TOU's and nothing more.
Once upon a time, I thought managed boards was a good idea. Not any more. Between little Napoleons feeling their power as managers and the predictable backlash of posters who chafe under the weight of one induhvidual's new-found power, the discussion board becomes a caricature of what it is intended to be.
To be effective, a board manager should function as invisibly as possible. It seems most simply cannot do this.
OT OT

re: if you are going to play it, play the MOMO only
No argument there, rex. The problem is, these confidence pros prey on the naiveté of the uninformed. They actually think they are involved in an investment.
I'm an old timer, been in the markets for over 30 years. Even to this day, these markets scare me. I stick to AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ equities.
For me, if I want to gamble, I prefer to go to the casino.
Seriously, voz, neophytes should not be playing in the pink and gray markets. They will most certainly get burned badly.
re: I care that the stock is continuing to go up and up and up...
Sorry to wake you, but you are reading the chart upside down (and down and down).
By the way, do not be intimidated by this task. It really is fairly straightforward. There are folks here (and on the "Dream Machine" board on iHub) that assemble their own machines from scratch. This task pales in comparison to that.
Someone back in this discussion indicated they could talk you through the install. I would recommend you get the card first, as that will help you understand the instructions while viewing the card.
Yes.
Once you purchase the ethernet (NIC) card, you will need to open up the computer and install the card. One end of the card you install in the computer. The other end of the card will be exposed to the back of the computer. This end has the network jack (like Bruce said, it looks like a modular telephone jack only it is bigger).
Why do I have a very difficult time believing:
I have an office 30 accountants just like the SEC's that work for me ... I have done audits and fraud investigations
Why do I have a very difficult time believing this, in light of the misspellings and sentence structure errors ocontained in your post. Of course, perhaps you are "typing in tongues".
