They will not kill RMBS. Geoff Tate is a quiet triathlete - he knows how to compete.

Bilow will pay a heavy price to his fragile ego when the rest of this story is written.

'Suicide is Painless'

Through early morning fog I see

visions of the things to be

the pains that are withheld for me

I realize and I can see...

[REFRAIN]:

that suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

and I can take or leave it if I please.

I try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

but now I know that it's too late, and...

[REFRAIN]

The game of life is hard to play

I'm gonna lose it anyway

The losing card I'll someday lay

so this is all I have to say.

[REFRAIN]

The only way to win is cheat

And lay it down before I'm beat

and to another give my seat

for that's the only painless feat.

[REFRAIN]

The sword of time will pierce our skins

It doesn't hurt when it begins

But as it works its way on in

The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...

[REFRAIN]

A brave man once requested me

to answer questions that are key

is it to be or not to be

and I replied 'oh why ask me?'

[REFRAIN]

'Cause suicide is painless

it brings on many changes

and I can take or leave it if I please.

...and you can do the same thing if you please.

Jim, do you think that Tate was lying when he said -- under oath -- that he didn't even know you could amend patent applications? If he wasn't lying then he's an incompetent manager for an IP company. Take your pick -- LOL! By the way, he's not incompetent.

If he didn't think that Rambus did anything wrong, then why did he lie, er "forget" the Rambus business plan?

Your explanation of "Infineon did it too" reminds of the whiny little kid who gets caught stealing candy and explains to his Mommy that "Jimmy did it too."

The difference is that the first kid who stole the candy did it so he could repackage it and try to pawn it off as gold, and then make Jimmy pay gold prices for it.
