Look.  You, along with others here (right-wing kooks, fly-by-night
entrepreneurs, from the former Soviet bloc, and other wingnuts) have
been doing not s****ts talk radio but right wing talk radio here for
years.  Enough is enough.  It's peculiarly ironic that you would
perseverate in this lunacy when even people from the University of
Chicago are saying things like, "We are all socialists now, " and the
government is spending money bailing out self-righteous thieves with
bow ties even as we speak.

I've had it with financial engineering.  Actually, I had it a long
time ago.  Real engineers should know better.  When you run across
someone running a shell game at the carnival arcade, there's nothing
wrong with participating, but don't plan on winning.

As it is, I didn't simply express my own skepticism, I quoted a
blogger from the New York Times, and got the usual hailstorm of
moronic abuse.  Del, I'm sorry.  You need to put your IBM stuff away.
My not-so-humble opinion is that AMD is a waste of time and talent.  I
could be wrong, but that is my opinion.  As it is, I only wished to
offer a different view of what looks like a white-knight action for
AMD probably isn't.

I'm registered as a developer with both Intel and AMD.
