Scumbria, Those rumours (a new MTH) abounded a few months ago. They may well be true. Carl took it one step further and applied the rumours to the i840, which is not a totally unreasonable thing to do. (Where else would a new MTH go?) Oh, come on. Give me a f****g break. Even Carl admits it was a lie... Hi Steve Lee; Yeah, the i840 rumor was pure FUD from me. What can I say, it's been a slow news day all week long.* He wasn't trying to "extend" a rumor. He was making up pure BS that there was a rumor going around and presenting it as fact when, in fact, there was no rumor at all. Don't try to revise history now, especially since he's already admitted lying. I can't believe you even tried to defend what he did, and am disappointed. Even GV called him on it. Have the guts to do the same. And I'll do the same when you point out a bald-faced lie. Dave Carl Bilow - the man who posted an outright lie (http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=14189831), only admitted it after being caught (http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=14190166 ; siliconinvestor.com, and then justified it by claiming that he was here to "pull the bulls tails" and for the entertainment value (http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=14191949 ; siliconinvestor.com. Even reasonable bears think he went too far (http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=14193536). Carl Bilow - the man just here to jerk you around.

Hi Scumbria; Re my posting an outright lie etc., etc., etc... It's not like it had any effect on the market or anything. I made that statement one evening, but retracted it before the next morning's trading. It was my error, but at least I admitted it, and I corrected it quickly. This is in stark contrast to the long BS around here, where they go on and on and never admit to having made any mistakes at all. I even apologized: My error: Aug 9, 2000 6:07PM ET #reply-14189831 My apology: Aug 10, 2000 6:33AM ET "Sorry for the misdirection" #reply-14191949 It's not like I'm going to deliberately make stupid statements on this thread. Sometimes it gets late at night and you just screw something up. If I was a Rambus long, I'd simply be still claiming that it was true, but since I retracted my statement, they end up making a big deal out of it. What about all their recent posts to the effect that (1) VIA was dumping DDR, and (2) VIA put off their DDR until 2H01? That's all completely bogus, and I haven't seen any apologies for those statements, nor will I, likely. I think my new P.S. must be getting some notice, and is getting under some people's skin. Good! They should look around and notice the bizarre contradictions in this company's leaky story. This whole thing smells worse and worse to me as time has gone on. Do you have any explanations as to how an intellectual property company could let that much product slip by without charge? I mean, I've left $20 in my pants pocket and run them through the washing machine, but I've never misplaced anything near a billion dollars. -- Carl P.S. Rambus - the bumbling company that let billions of dollars worth of SDRAM and associated chipsets be produced for six years without them being paid any royalties, thereby missing the bulk of the big SDRAM production years, failing to take advantage of their intellectual property, and blowing their fiduciary duties to their shareholders.
