    That article is almost 9 years old and has been posted here by others a few times in the past.

    Thanks for the heads up. You're right, it's BS.
    It appears to be just another ultra right wing website, out of business or apparently so, that specializes in spreading FUD -- report it to the web's equivalent of the BBB (if such exists), if concerned. Let us know what you discover, if pursued.

    ...and I think it was intended to be a joke from the beginning.

    As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a maroon!"
    Now, as to the charge that he is a right winger, I resemble that remark, don't blame idiots like this on being right wing. An idiot is an idiot in what ever group he tries to associate.

    We have a winner! It's not even technically functioning as of 2002 anyway. I do like how that one article keeps coming up, though, despite how old it really is.

    Oh please! Winding up geeks is kind of like shooting fish in a barrel. Were these guys afraid of a real challenge?

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

    Until recently I always thought that AMD was a Taiwanese company: after all, most of the kick-ass brands of motherboards boards like Foxconn, Gigabyte, ASUS and MSI all hail from Taiwan. And let's not forget Biostar and Zotac as well.

    Not to mention that NVIDIA hails from Taiwan as well.

    And anyway, AMD's hardware...just don't have the raw power or optimizations I want when it comes to building my own PC. Sure, they are cheap and extremely bang for buck, but you know that something is very wrong when an Intel Celeron feels and performs faster than an Athlon X2.
