  He’s just waiting for a refresh.

    Or he didn't get refreshed in time. I knew this joke would be here.

      Let's make a minute of silence for... Oh.. what are we making a minute of silence for?

  Was RDRAM a nod to Dennard or pure coincidence?
  • kjs3 2y ago
    RDRAM == Rambus DRAM as far as I know. It's a trademark or some such.
    • skhameneh 2y ago
      Yes, that's the official name. I'm asking if it intentionally or coincidentally coincides with Robert Dennard's initials.

        Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
