Actually, I can have quite civil conversations with anyone when they're not being a**holes. However, to suddenly leap to the attack during these civil conversations I would say must show their true colors. And, BTW, how do we know if they're "leading engineers" if they won't tell us who the hell they are? We just have your word that you're so hot. Anyone can stand up and say "I'm the best". Oftentimes the worst do. Let me reinforce that for you -- from what I've seen, the loudest braggarts are usually the least talented. They do it because no one really believes them and they get no reinforcement at work. So claiming to be a "leading engineer" just leads me to believe the opposite. And an a**hole is an a**hole is an a**hole, regardless of what they lead.And answering your obsessive question from last week (which you probably asked a dozen times), DDR is now launched by the #1 OEM. So why didn't you answer my question last week? Maybe you didn't know what was going on? Certainly, with 2 vendors now supporting DDR, the launch has improved 100%. As I said in one of my very first posts from last week (if you'd read them carefully, you remember this), DDR can still pull it out, but that it was going to take a lot more work. If you'll check what I wrote carefully, you'll see I never said it would be a flop in the future -- just that it's been one up to now, and that it would take a lot of work to turn it around. But you apparently don't read that closely.
