"The company also brought a case at Europe?s second-highest tribunal, the ""Court of First Instance"", asking for more time to respond and for the commission to consider more evidence."

We're just having fun at your expense nemesis, I hope there was no offense taken. If there was then I sincerely apologize, it was really meant to be tongue-in-cheek but a little bit of funny because there are points at which we slap our heads and say its funny because its seems true.

At any rate I never would have posted my comments if I thought there was any chance you'd view it as a personal jab/attack - but if it comes across as such just let me know and I'll delete my posts and replace with appropriate apologies and mea culpas.

 

[taltamir]

you know, i am pretty sure that not responding and instead SUING is standard procedure... nobody caves in and THEN sues... intel DID respond, it responded by suing instead of giving in to the demands of the comission.

IMO AMD is harming, not helping, their position in this situation by interjecting commentary from the sideline in what is otherwise an EU vs. Intel matter at this point in time. AMD should be quiet as possible and let the EU and Intel battle it out in the public and legal courts.

As for what Intel is doing...this is precisely the type of business behavior that is why the concept of monopoly and abuse of power are tied together an equally despised by countries the world over.

Once you allow yourself to be dependent on a dominant business entity (Intel, MS, ExxonMobile) you lose all manner of leverage and negotiation with them when it comes to enforcing your laws and regulations.

Intel is proving the EU's point by their very actions of ignoring the EU's regulations and business laws. Whether or not Intel technically meets the legal definition of being a monopoly is not the point, the point is they are large enough and dominant enough that should they choose to abuse the power they have accumulated it will be a detriment to the society in which they operate...and it is that abuse of power which is what the anti-monopoly laws are intended in spirit to avoid by preventing the creation of dominant near-monopoly business entities.

edit: Nemesis where you see a company's headstrong leadership actions as a sign of strength I see it as a sign of willful negligence of their fiducial duties to their shareholders. This destructive path they have set Intel on will only produce a self-generated demise in shareholder equity.

Nah, pulling out of a market that contributes 20% to their revenue would be a great decision.

You guys remember I while back I said. On the EU . Thing . Intel should just do the right thing . And pull out of that sales area. Than Watch the EU scream . LOL . Intels doing just that.

Good for you Intel. Somebody had to stand up to them .

What the hell does this even mean? I honestly cannot read this.

 

[taltamir]

Translation:

I have always been a fanboi of intel. Other companies should model themselves after intel, which is the epitome of futuristic engineering. Due to the actions I will soon describe, I have began to REALLY love Intel.

You might remember that back in the day I said that intel should respond to the european union's tendency to cause trouble by terminating their EU operations; and watch as the EU suffers and rages. As it turns out intel is terminating their EU operations just like I suggested.

Good for intel, someone had to stand up to the EU.

I started laughing so hard after just reading the start of your translation that I had coffee dripping out of my nose.

THAT...was...epic.

I think you are done here talta, you've conquered the game AT CPU Forums and there are no more easter-eggs to uncover. :laugh:

 

[taltamir]

This is odd though, for some reason i remembered him favoring AMD.... (oh wait, maybe it was AMD over nVidia for video cards!)

There's two occupations that you get paid for a "session on the couch." One of them is older than the other. Which one are you accusing us of?

 

[apoppin]

Yeah but this is "seccession"

seccession

:
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Seccession

i guess someone is withdrawing from therapy
:Q

. . . especially, if you want to argue that we are artists:

secession, in art, any of several associations of progressive artists, especially those in Munich, Berlin, and Vienna, who withdrew from the established academic societies or exhibitions. The artists of Munich formed a secession in 1892 that spread to other German cities

Nemesis1, if you are just writing our checks, send me a blank one with just your signature. i can figure out the billing later on.
:Q

What IS intel doing? legal maneuvering they think they can pull off, is my guess. Their bean counters came up with this one, i think.

LOL that's karma man.

This thread is too funny. I don't know what happened to taltamir lately, but wow, he keeps making me laugh with his posts.

Taltamir, can we have you permanently "scribe" for Nemesis1? He could send you his posts via PM and you could post on his behalf, just like when the mods post as a 'member'. He actually has great ideas, and your translation makes them quite legible and intelligent. Heck, you two could probably team up and write an amazing article for AT. :beer:

What's "cupping"?

See, this is why we need taltamir to scribe. :light:

 

[Nemesis 1]

Another equally likely possibility is that the 120-IQ kid allows the sucker-punch so the 80-IQ special needs kid gets put away or otherwise restricted; short-term pain for long-term glory.

Intelligence is as much about seeing the forest for the trees as anything else.

My favorite chess moves are forks; a knight or bishop threatens the king and another piece (like a rook or the queen) simultaneously and cannot be captured. This could well be a similar situation.

 

[apoppin]

in chess, a potential "threat" is generally considered worse than its actual execution

 

[taltamir]

I thought the king simply surrenders rather then being executed... you don't have to KILL the enemy, just put him against the wall where you can either kill or capture him at your discretion.

Think "cupping" & "below the belt" and you'll get the idea quickly...

:laugh:

Seriously, you guys make the days go by much faster. Or at least less boring.
