Had any of you guys heard that the PhysX 3.0 SDK fixed the x87 code problems?

Indeed, experience is his main asset. He's seen the highs and the lows of the business, made mistakes, but always worked to fix them in the end and isn't afraid to make tough decisions. It's that sort of intelligent guy who knows his s***.

It wouldn't surprise me if they started/bought their own fab soon...
