Ahhhh, yes. I can't wait until the memory of my time at AMD is a distant, faint, hazy memory and will subsequently be "erased" from my resume. Who ? Where ? I'm sorry, I don't recall that alleged company, I was in Europe at the time. Talk about a career hiccup... quickly moving on.

But while amanfromMars tends to have more of a tendency to be grammatically correct, Ultee makes way more sense in the long run.

Ultee looks like he may be getting victimized by a bad translation program, but amanfromMars looks like he's been dipping into some heavy drugs. ;)

"Time for AMD to buy GlobalFoundries back and pull it out of Arabia." .... posted by : Mark Green, 02 November 2009

An alternative and much more constructive and novel view would be for Arabia to flex ITs Intellectual Muscle and show us what can be built from/with nothing whenever Money is no object/irrelevant.

Freed from the Masses Slavery of Capitalism with its Petty Bourgeois Puppets into Fiscal and Monetary Controls is Practically Anything Possible and Virtually Nothing Impossible...... but IT does require a Plug-In to Ancient and Original Wisdom for ITs Immaculate Intelligence and Gift of Prior Knowledge ..... in Order to Honour the Prophecy with AI Caliphormation for the Leading Inside Track on Future Events with Present Happening/Active XSSXXXX Plans.

...a veteran of one of the more proprietary / historically-open-source-unfriendly chip shops takes the reigns just as ATIMD has got its act together regarding *NIX support. While Hector departs in an information-sharing scandal.

I seriously hope that doesn't screw them up. I know naught of this guy - maybe he's a great dude, but he certainly seems to have been driving in the era when Broadcom would tell developers to fuck off without a NDA and a $multi-million OEM deal. (Or.. has anything really changed over there today?)

That could just be a corporate-culture thing - BCOM, like certain other semi houses, seem to assume everything is Valuable Proprietary Knowledge (or can't comfortably track the chains of ownership for their own designs through decades of licensing thickets) that shouldn't be released without a struggle and a blood oath not to speak of what you saw behind the curtain. I just pray he won't see an opportunity to cut "support costs" at a time when AMD has finally managed to allocate Just Enough resources to actually keep up at a level of openness on par with Intel's.

A couple wrong moves there and they could easily end up as Microsoft's next callgirl - all it takes is one top executive seeing dollar signs at an "exclusive" arrangement, and suddenly everyone is making exactly the same amount of money that they would have independently but with the rest of the world (particularly the Free one) locked out.

On the other hand, maybe I shouldn't be giving Microsoft ideas - but I guess there'll always be Chinese MIPS to fall back on.

Just when AMD is catching its' second wind this is exactly what they didn't need.

He needs jail some time with Madoff.

Time for AMD to buy GlobalFoundries back and pull it out of Arabia.
