Re: Are you now going to argue that it is bad for start-ups to issue options to employees? This isn't a startup, Blake. The company went public years ago. This is over 2 years of gross sales receipts taken from the stockholders and deposited into the pockets of insiders. The equivalent at Intel would have been management giving itself well over $50 Billion dollars. Just to put it into perspective. Dan

blake, RE: Wrong again, GV tucker. You couldn't be more duplicitous: rambus.com They accelerated the recognition of employee stock option charges, that's all. Are you and scum now going to argue that it is bad for start-ups to issue options to employees? There was no duplicitous intent. I was wrong as to the recipient of the options, and have already admitted as such to sylvester. That does not change the point I was making. This is a cost of doing business that should be taken into account. I have not ever stated this is bad, whether it is options granted to employees or options granted to customers.
