There are no new semiconductor processes being designed for the asian

are of course national space programs)).
Well, maybe rad-hard chips in a fab somewhere, but they are NOT
anything special, you always pay for rad-hardness in expense and
power use.
IMO.

Even if you have lower powered memory chips (that one link implied
may be possible), you still need processors, which this will not help
with.
And the other link is just irrelevant.
To add to this, the couple of technical articles linked have nothing
to do with new processor chips.

Well, the 'crystalline' material image looked suspiciously like salt or

Pretty lame scam effort.

Processors process what... electron currents, ie power.
Notice also that the stated processor specs are wildly in excess of
whats needed to run a mobile phone, and the picture looks like its
been patched together on a pc, rather than a real item photographed.

No. To communicate you have to transmit energy. To see a screen you
have to transmit light. Cameras need energy to amplify their signals.

Will the site just disappear then? Hmm...

The phrase, "latest spin-off from the space program" is also always a good
warning bell.

The odds of that are 1 over the total number of Matts. It would be
remarkably dumb posting that ad on an electronic engineering forum....
but that hasnt always stopped them.

It never ceases to amaze me the people who fall for the stupid nigerian
scam (and its variants). In the last couple of years in NZ, half a dozen
or so groups have fallen "victim" to this fraud. Surprisingly (or
perhaps unsurprisingly) the poeple losing millions of dollars (ha!

(former) chief economist of the ASB bank, who lost several million
dollars of his and his friends money. ROTFLMAO

PT Barnum made a serious error when he said "there's a sucker born every
minute" in that he grossly underestimated the true scale of the issue.

Well, I understand that avariciously stupid people deserve a good lesson,
but if they go to jail we have to pay to keep them there.
If they commit suicide they leave behind upset families.
Most of all I hate the fact that a bunch of thieving vermin are making
millions while I'm trying to earn an honest crust.
They're probably laughing loudest at you and I.
I think the west should deduct the amount scammed from the amount we give
them in aid.
Only then are their governments going to make a crackdown,
when it comes out of their pockets.

This particular con actually did begin in Nigeria and predates the Web. In the
original scam, paper letters were sent out by hand, including elaborate packages
of documents. Care went into finding the right suckers. With spam broadcast
mailing, such research is no longer necessary. I predict quality con jobs are
going to be a thing of the past, and Darwinism will take over. The dumbest get

It originated much sooner, in the early 1980. Google on the subject.

Yes, the old Nigerian 419 fee in advance scam. Started in the early
90's. Now it has "evolved" into a different format. It is no longer
some top official with the Nigerian Oil Ministry looking to hide 33
million dollars in a foreign bank. Now it comes in the form of an RFQ
asking for pricing of all your products. The new lure is placing a
huge order and then somewhere in the transaction they will need an
advanced payment usually $10,000.00.

Western governments don't seem to care who it gets to.
Just as long as they are seen to be giving out aid money (from our pockets),
they take the public credit (and the private arms contracts).
When money talks - it swears.
