steve- [chat--steves issues with reality] perfectly acceptable english is what is taught in school, which means proper words, not colloquilisms like blowhard. i really enjoy reading your posts in which you make it clear that you think you know what goes on in my head. steve, you arent god. its as simple as that. and you dont refute information...you pull things out of context and you dont do any effective research into the subject which you are pontificating on. case in point: my post on MU. i dont recall exactly what the EPS was supposed to be for the q297 EPS, but it was higher than the number you stated from their website. you conveintly skipped over the part about how after this release, the stock went up dramatically. the beat their estimates with the one time gain. and, as for trying to figure out their operations, you really have NO idea what you are talking about. there are many people on SI and on wall st. who are still trying to figure out how they get away with the inventory tricks. my 'spin control' as you so eloquently put it, is your perception. you simply jumped on me without asking for clarification of what i said. as for DES, the only thing propping it up is the government, specifically the clinton administration, including the FBI and the NSA. you really need to do more research into this. you see, this is another example of how you have 'corrected' me. you only corrected me in your mind.yes, there are still companies working on DES. there are also companies who still make buggy whips. another issue in the same vein that you chose to ignore was the loss in speed from having to decrypt/encrypt everything (as a supplement for your rather poor memory, we were discussing security issue surrounding cablemodems). even ultra fast chips are still going to cause a delay. of course that issue was conveiently dropped. what is your deal....first bill, then pat, and now me. just because i happened to question or make contradictory comments about something you said? thats just it, though. once you have your target locked, you refuse to allow the one between the crosshairs to attempt to clarify ANYTHING. pigboy got it right off the bat. you didnt. IMHO, he is without doubt a much better listener than you will ever be. unlike you, i dont have all the answers, and i can not stand those that pretend to. as for the remainder of your non sequitur, ad hominim attacks, i dismiss them with the same fiat you use so abundantly. it basically boils down to this...when someone has an opinion differing from yours, you attack. that is called antisocial behaviour. you need to see a psychiatrist. good luck to all, trey
