Hi Scared but Hopeful; Re: "Hate is too strong a word." Maybe it is for most engineers, but not for me.
Nope, if anything, hate is too shallow a word. I despise everything single thing that Rambus has done and stands for, from the ivory tower know it all (P T Newell's nickname) attitude towards industry, to the incompetent engineering decisions, to the ludicrous claims to have invented old and obvious technology, to their constant misrepresentations to their shareholders about their patent portfolio and technology, to their gag orders that go out with the licenses, to their habit of holding back press releases so as to manipulate the stock, to their accusations of criminal behavior among the memory makers, to their blatant disregard for business ethics, to their one sided hype press releases that never share a drop of bad news, to their constant lies about how much RDRAM will be manufactured and at what cost, to their, etc., etc., etc.
This is the slimiest technology company on the planet.
They are a fraud.
Now they have to pay.
If that involves having the employees out on the street, having to sell their bodies at $10 a trick, along with their wives, parents, pets, sons and daughters; if that involves complete financial, health and legal destruction for all parties involved, along with their dependents; etc., etc., etc.; well, then I say "Yahoo!" and I can't hardly wait.
If this whole crowd of petty criminals, lousy engineers, greedy financiers and their ilk all went off the edge of a cliff in a "bus", I would find it quite pleasurable to watch.
