Another Release on Altera's Cyclone V SoC, and another COMMENT, beginning a further extension of the story line.


COMMENT - The individual seated at the left is John Fund, who received the singularly valuable assistance of Green Hills Software, Inc., in early 2003, when an officer of the company mailed him a document which he put up on line as part of a continuing campaign to destroy the credibility of Morgan Pillsbury, who he had battered and tried to have murdered the year before.  

The document, a deposition, was uncertified, and therefore it was not legal to copy or provide it to anyone.  

Several months earlier, Morgan had vented her spleen against Sidney Blumenthal, who, she said, had hacked her computer, stealing information about Fund and the Bush Administration.  Morgan hacked Sid's computer, installing a keylogger.  

She found a lot more than comments from Sid's editor, and these were revelations the Bush administration was very anxious not find the light of day.  They still are.

Nothing about it was political.  It started with the Weaselsearch Tape, on which you can hear John and Morgan discuss how to artfully lie as John opines on how you present what you want the facts to be. 

An article was written in 2001, published September 4th, by John Connelly, who also writes for Vanity Fair.   It was titled, "Sex, Lies, and the Tape."

NEWS RELEASE and COMMENT





COMMENT - Actually, more people would be interested in hearing about the defense strategy Jack Douglas will be following on June 7th in Taunton District Court.  He evidently claimed it is a family tradition to wear kilts.  The name Douglas is Scottish, but generally the kilt wearing is limited to family events, in my experience and I also have Scottish ancestry.  More on that in a later COMMENT. 

Perhaps Jack will ask Craig (Incest Porn) Franklin to appear as a character witness?  May be Craig could bring his son, Jonathan Scott Franklin, if a furlough could be arranged from prison, where he is serving time for hiring a hitman to kill his wife, Kathy. 

This sort of activity is, arguably very much a father-son sort of thing for Craig, so that is a family tradition, too.  

Since Green Hills Software has been so unwilling to keep the public informed we will be digging in to the subject here and providing updates.  

First, the Scene of the Crime, right between Dunkin' Donuts and the Olive Garden, where off duty Officer McGowan had taken his family for a nice meal out on April 17th. 

More to come:

PLEASE COME AND ALSO BUY A MUG! Green Hills Software to Present and Exhibit at DESIGN West 2013 in San Jose, CA


Green Hills Software


http://www.ghs.com/images/logos/Integrity-company-logo.png  From:  Green Hills Software, Inc.  



COMMENT -  DESIGN West in San Jose, CA, during the week of April 22, 2013. In booth #1320.  MAP of Exhibition Hall.  You open the link, and voila!  There is GHS right in its own largish island of exhibit, 30' x 30', right in the middle of everything.  Very appropriate, don't you think?  

Awards will be given, which are called, Embeddys, according to the Design West folks,  for " those exhibitors who announce or demonstrate the most significant new software and hardware products at DESIGN West."

Do you suppose they have divisions, sort of like the Academy Awards?  The name they chose, the Embeddy does suggest certain lines of thought.  For instance, the most accurately embedded shrapnel in terrorists (all individuals of all ages counted for this) for a single strike on a civilian targeted population, with the use of software enhancing delivery for drones.  

Of course, it could be hazardous to do the count, given how the participants feel about the use of drones in their countries.  These foreigners simply do not appreciate how exciting and fulfilling it is to see an excellent piece of software REALLY function to its full potential.  Small of them, but, hey, if they get a credit you never know, right?  

This is an Embeddy.  Frankly,  It is not very exciting.  It seems to me it would be more interesting to have special awards which fit the winner, illustrating what the software actually accomplishes so people can better understand its function.  It is a public service, after all, to educate the public on matters which would, otherwise, escape their attention.  

                                                                   






 See what I mean, far more graphically interesting, while providing insight into the important work accomplished by the winners software. And when the graphic is more interesting, you can buy a Tee-shirt to remember this happy moment!
