They didn't have the funds to both continue investing in development and run their own fabs.

Would you really argue that the right decision would be to keep the fabs and have nothing worthwhile for them to produce?

They didn't do that because they thought fabs were boring, they did it because they're expensive and they didn't have the revenue to support them. In part because of Intel's anti-competitive behaviour.

Intel has enough of it that it can, without much trouble, rebound from a stumble. When AMD stumbles, their revenue stream suffers, which impacts their ability to produce the next generation of products, which causes their revenue stream to suffer...

We direct solar power at a large body of water, and collect the precipitation runoff in a basin (natural or otherwise). When needed, we allow the collected water to flow down through turbines to generate electricity, which we distribute and run through a resistor below the cooking surface.

If it isn't implemented safely, then it isn't safe.

Communism works great in theory.

Except the military, who gets to spend as much as they like making the world a more dangerous and exploded place.

Has anyone, anywhere ever intentionally used a "premium" SMS service?

Telecoms obviously need a regulatory smackdown requiring them not to act as payment processors.

You are as Anonymous as anyone else. If you think Anonymous should do something, then do it.

By opposing nuclear energy, you're promoting the use of coal. The risk from the latter is clearly and demonstrably exponentially worse than the latter.

By opposing GM crops, you hamper famine relief efforts. Starving populations have to choose between accepting donated GM grains and incurring your superstitious wrath, or refusing them and starving. You, personally, are responsible for the deaths of real, living people.

Nothing that you've mentioned in has in any way to do with GM technology. It's not surprising that you prefer coal to nuclear as well.

You're making arguments from ignorance and superstition. Stop it or stay out of the political process.
