Comment Re:The Scoop with RAM, from a head in Taiwan (Score 1) 149
I agree whole-heartedly on this. While our senators and house representatives generally support Taiwan, for some reason our president is more interested in business than ethics. For that matter, he has a track record of trying to go out and buddy-up to nations that are generally hostile to the US (He's doing this now with North Korea). He means well, but this is roughly the eqivalent of bending over in a prison-house shower. Given a good opportunity, certain rogue states which I won't name here would love to screw the United States up the you-know-where.
I hadn't thought of the RAM price issue in a Sino-Taiwan war; but then the point I'd like to make is that RAM prices shouldn't be people's first concern if something like a war or a quake happens in Taiwan. There are real, live people who have to go to work, make these RAM chips, and feed their families. If a disaster befalls Taiwan, Japan, China, Silicon Valley, or anywhere else, RAM prices should be our least concern. What about the people who live there?
