Ali, Did you attend the University of Michigan? Were you a Delta Zeta? You are a sick man. I repeat: Rambus has nointellectual property to protect. A personal insult; how original! Unless you can show me how is it you know exactly what Rambus does or does not have to protect, I really don't care if you stand naked in Times Square and repeat it until they haul you away. If you have that level of detailed knowledge, please post a cogent explanation of what the lawsuit is about and where the fallacy is. Please! Believe me, everyone here would absolutely adore you if you could explain this in clear, precise, technical terms showing exactly what the claims are and why they're not valid. Otherwise you're adding no value to this argument. And saying nothing many, many times still adds nothing. What makes you think the assumption is idiotic? Using a well-known car analogy, are you proposing to enter an automotive business with a car which by design would require a parallel road to build along every road and street in the US and in all other world? Why not be original? Why not be creative? Why not be different? That's what ARM has done. They built an entire business around not being an Intel clone. With a better return for investors. That's what thousands of other companies have done -- been original, broken new ground, added new value. AMD's entire business model is built around taking potential customers away from Intel. Why are the AMD folks so surprised the when Intel responds and says "sorry, but that's not going to happen"? How dull does one have to be to not understand that when you walk into the bear's den, he's probably going to rip your face off?
