Nvidia is therefore a bubble. This article is complaining that Europe is an obstacle to further bubble inflation.
No amount of Nvidia etching IP onto wafers is worthy of a 4.6 TRILLION market cap - bigger than the 4.2 Trillion market cap of the ENTIRE name-brand pharmaceutical industry.

I'd be fine with this. Recently Audible removed a book from my library and essentially told me to kick rocks. I'd listened to it when I first got it, and although I wanted to go back and check something in one of the chapters (which is how I found the book was no longer available), it's not the end of the world: it's just $15 they stole from me.

I'm glad you got to have kids and watch them grow from birth. I never got to do that; I married a gal and the boys were already ten and eleven years old when I entered their life.

I agree. I think a second benefit could be that interested high school (or college) students now get a data source that doesn't change locations from administration to administration. It is mildly frustrating to me that many government websites simply change where things are each year. Worse is when a department goes through the amazingly beneficial operation of name change. /s

Apparently this was a new test, essentially A B testing. The only difference in the two sets of email were that one set had links to ActBlue and the other set had links to WinRed. The complaint is that the WinRed linking emails were marked as spam but the ActBlue linking emails were not.

All three people who follow chess are super excited

Yes, exactly. Best Buy got Napster because they bought Roxio - the CD-Burning software company. LOL. "Roxio Toastt". Roxio was the first vulture to pick the bones of the original Napster, buying branding assets when the feds shut it down.

Invented virtualization.

Doesn't ANYBODY but me remember that "Napster" was actually RealNetworks? You know, the old Real.com that was the Internet's first scale, commercial streamer? Real became Rhapsody for several years. Rhapsody had no name recognition, so they bought the Napster name from it's owners... BEST BUY.

It gets weirder. Rhapsody had been Sonos' partner streaming service - and Rhapsody is also... I HEART RADIO. Now the whole Napster lot got dumped in the lap of venture capital vultures.

My Briefcase was like Dropbox for your 3.5" floppy disks. I think I upgraded to a Zip drive around that time. YIPPEE!

Eddie Cus channeling his best inner Eddie Murphy circa Beverly Hills Cop: âoe That searches are down story... was working okay. It was working. You guys just messed it up.â

Donald and Elon sure as hell don't. The EPA? Who needs it? Let's all move to the Donald diet of McDonald's cheeseburgers. Make America Great Again .... Again ... because for whatever reason Donald failed in his first attempt ....

That's like describing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ as a carpenter having problems with a few big nails! :-)

Some quibbles: IBM prevented 32-bit OS/2 for 80386 not from bad planning, but an internal struggle to keep 32-bit PCs from biting into the AS400 mini computer business, and there were internal wars for the board approvals.

This was the end of the line for Gates's frustration with IBM, as OS/2 took resources from projects he and Balmer were convinced would take off. Publicly claiming that upcoming Windows 3.0 would not be "Presentation Manager Lite", MS still death-marched developers to produce the release, while devs allotted to IBM sat on their hands or did code reviews for IBM managers. Win 3.0 Program Manager kicked ass on Presentation Manager, it was definitely not "lite" - and it ditched all the heavy-baggage of IBM SNA requirements.

"OS/2 NT" is a bit misleading. Late in the endgame of the IBM/MS relationship, Gates discovered that Dave Cutler was being cut away from DEC, with a recalibration of Prism and the future of Alpha. Cutler had begun a 64-bit microkernel evolution of his VMS system. OS/2 3.0 was on the boards, still dragging MS resources and tying up IP. Gates hired Cutler to build an alternative, skunk works kernel from his Prism design work, with the hope of porting the Windows System 32 layer with dependencies etc. When the last bitter contract work was delivered for IBM, Cutler and the Windows team ground out the hard work of delivering their kernel, TCP stack, and Windows 3.11 port —Windows NT.

Most of this stuff is well-covered in Carroll's "Big Blues" along with Zachary's "Show Stopper!: The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT". I had a small part at the NT launch in Moscone Center, working for a ghost-writer on the Sybex NT book that launched at that event

I'm probably the lowest UID still occasionally active on Slashdot. It's a habit, that I'd be sorry to see go. This site is still my first pinned tab in Firefox.

Hell, I still even check things out on https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Feverything.blockstacke..., even though they are throwing me an expired cert right now!

Remember Blockstackers?
