Europe (sans the UK, which has US envy) may save us. The pursuit of (whatever)-flops, appears, though, to he a pandemic. A very, very sad state of affairs. Open rathole. Pour in euros. Intel, sadly, has top-500 envy. Robert.

If intel are coming to Europe, perhaps it's because they have run out of fine minds to reprogram in the us, or is it just that the us doesn't have them anyway ?... Regards, Chris

The only hot subject left in computers right now is stealing financial information, and the former Warsaw pact holds an insurmountable lead in that area. Unless and until someone decides that thermonuclear warheads are no longer important, the UK will be tied to the US and its bloated bomb establishment. Don't take it too hard. The special relationship gives the UK a place at the table while the US decides which mistake it will make next. What we're talking about here matters only to politicians, bureaucrats, and bureaucrat-wannabe's posing as scientists, which is "Mine (my computer that is) is bigger than yours." Robert. |
