Tenchusatsu, <<<If we had to pay that much for gas, we'll see a lot more gas conservation, carpooling, people using mass transit, people living closer to their places of work, more incentive to build gas-efficient cars, etc.
Of course, that sort of solution would be extremely painful and unpopular.>>>
Scumbria is absolutely wrong wrt AMD prospects, but on this topic he is much closer to the truth. You don't have to be a microprocessor designer or a rocket scientist to see what the problem and solutions are. The truly important things in life are always simple to understand. We tend to screw things up by over complicating simple truths.

<<<OT ---What a bunch of dummies in Congress . We have a recession at our doorsteps or already in the house , an energy crisis with oil , natural gas, etc , creating a giant sucking sound ( sounds like a tax hike ) , a Federal Reserve that went overboard on interest rate hikes and taken liquidity out of the market ( thus taken the life out of productivity ---the one true counter balance to inflation ) and a President who has been more worried about his legacy ( if their is one ) than taken care of the economy .
Instead Congress is more about tackling illegal aliens in someone house than addressing a national issue which is ---Energy . It is having a major impact on how we manage our economy and no one is paying attention . Maybe we ought to turn the lights in Washington D.C ---most of the idiots seem to work better in the dark .>>>
