You're forgetting the fact that I'm absolutely NOTHING like Rush Limbaugh and that everything I've said is honest. Your comparison of me to his propaganda spreading holds no weight.

Your opinion is just that...an opinion. It's no better than mine. Mine is based in fact and you claims yours is too. Only time will tell. If your smart you won't put money on Moore's law failing.

That's it. There's nothing else to say.

Now you have completely missed the point. First, the expression was 'Rush Limbaugh like'. Defined was a concept that both Rush Limbaugh and Hilter used. A technique so common to propaganda. The point is, again, that when one does not provide supporting facts - and especially the numbers - with assertions, then one is using a 'Rush Limbaugh like' technique.

Second, at no time in that post was Radar declared another Rush Limbaugh. Please reread the post more carefully - and only for what is specifically stated in that post. Demonstrated is why your earlier post receieved so much criticism. It made statements in a format that Rush Limbaugh would be proud of.

I actually have known Tom a long time...

Radar,

I've known him since 1991-1992.

He is completely well-researched, and is a respected engineer. He has my respect because he does his homework and is very well-spoken, as he has shown again in this case.

At no time did he insult you. He simply stated facts.

And yes, you are acting similarly to Rush Limbaugh. If I wanted to hear Rush-like banter, I'll turn on my radio or follow some links off of the Drudge Report site, not here.

When I want to talk technology with people who really know what they are talking about, and who do not sling insults, I'll come here. If you want to flame, there's always Fark .

Mitch

The first posted sentence sounded more like a eulogy at a funeral.
Quote:
Pity the poor MOSFET. Once the star of microelectronics - the ideal blend of elegant simplicity that made the global industry possible - the planar metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor appears to be approaching the end of its useful life.
Now we're on the verge of a cyberspace riot. I thought funerals like this were only in cartoons.
