<< Our judicial system is FAR, FAR superior to any other country's in the world. >>

Another ignorant and sheepish statement by an American.

Canada's justice system is just as bad as the U.S.A.'s. They both have enourmous gaping holes that encourage corruption. the only differences that i see is that in Canada too many guilty people get away with what they do and in the U.S too many innocent people tkae the place as the truly guilty.

It's sad to think about!

smp made the most interesting contribution to the thread for me. I'll visit his site when he gets it up. Sorry I have tried to find &quot;Der Triumph des Willens&quot; but didn't. Maybe I will try again.
RAMBUS are particularly cynical capitalists. So, fkloster does that mean you admire them in the way yuppies admired Micheal Douglas in Wall Street, not realising the irony there? I hope rambus bite the dust because I don't think they are honest, I think they abuse the trust in the patent system.

Nice trolling flockster... :) Amusing for me, at least.

&quot;(fkloster reminds himself where his home is : Anandtech, the place where DDR is king and DDR's deciples (sp) feel the U.S. judicial system is inferior. fkloster backs down again :( )&quot;

And you could just just admit you stuck your foot in your mouth, no need to blame it on a seperate matter.. :p

One of two things will happen to Rambus.

The courts will declare the stolen patents invalid.

The memory manufactuers will come up with a &quot;clean&quot; design for a faster memory then rambus.

Either way the outcome will be the same.

Bye bye Rambust.

etech, I wouldn't doubt that there are some manufacturers already working on a new kind of memory. I have nothing to back that statement other than the following: duh? Heh, it just seems logical that they would be. I dunno though- unfortunately I don't have ESPN...errr I have that, it's ESP I don't have.

<< Our judicial system is FAR, FAR superior to any other country's in the world >>

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Bet your that kind of American that can't properly use its knife and fork while eating!


<< I want someone to give me ONE example of ONE other countries judicial system that is more just than ours (..or should I say, mine) >>

First one fact about your &quot;superior&quot; judicial system: in the US, 1 on 7 people that are sentenced for death are executed while they are UNGUILTY! The only other place where this is also possible is in some terrorist countries. You should be proud of that, fkloster.

Countries with a better (but still not perfect) judicial system than the US: about all countries in the EU, probably Australia and Canada.


<< But from my experience in studying different countries systems i.e. Iraq, Spain, China etc. in school, I wouldn't want to live there... >>

I agree about Iraq and China, but what are you talking about? These countries are probably 100 years behind western countries! Your probably refering to Spain because you think Franco still makes the rules there...
Give some good examples, or just stop with your stupid ignorant behaviour.

Canada. ya Canada, what a great example. Canada, a country who's judicial system signs a U.S. lumber fair trade quota agreement for unfairly subsidizing lumber exports and promises to penalize thier lumber producers $100/per thousand board feet if their exports exede quota but then spoon feeds the penalty capitol back under the table to make sure lumber keeps pumping out, systematicly under cutting the VERY agreement the premier signed &amp; our U.S. producers. Sounds like justice to me...

If RAMBUS really rightfully owns the patents to SDRAM and other RAM interfaces, then I don't have a problem with them charging royalties.

On the other hand, if they really do own the patents, why have they not been licensing since SDRAM was released in 1996? It would seem that either they were blithering morons back then, didn't care, or really didn't own the patents in the first place.

Regardless, RDRAM is expensive and the performance sucks. I won't be using RDRAM in a PC anytime soon.

Ok, let me state that I'm Canadian, so I do obviosuly have a bias and I hate to troll, but fkloster is being pretty ignorant, IMO...

You live in North America, fkloster. This is not a Communistic society, it is a Democracy, based on Capitialism. ... Canada is working well within the system limits so let it die. If anyone had an angle like Canada is manuevering in, they would exploit it too!

Sound familiar? Now, I'm not necessarily defending what Canada is doing (I don't know the situation, so I'm not qualified to hold an opinion on it. Quite a concept, eh?), but you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Karsin, that's not under question - Rambus hold the patents. What's under contention is that they (allegedly) presented their designs for inclusion in what was supposed to be an industry standard, without telling anyone about the patents. They withdrew from the forum shortly afterwards - the trap had been set.

hans007... that's ridiculous. You're suggesting that it's reasonable business practice to manipulate the law for profit. That's why we have courts in the first place.
