Some people harbor an irrational hatred of Jews. But when you toss the accusation around like it's nothing, you're hurting the case for real anti-semitism. We don't have to funnel billions in tax dollars into Israel in order to have amiable foreign or military relations with her. Israel has every...

I'm not all that surprised. The Pentium III was (is!) a great microarchitecture. A Tualatin PIII with large L2 will best a Pentium 4 clock per clock by a pretty wide margin.

Not only that, performance wise it ought to be able to give the Mini a run for it's mon...

To call Hannity an airhead would be a grievous insult to airheads. This is a man who is paid to fabricate "reverse correct infospeak" that appeals to the emotions of ignorant viewers. It doesn't matter that Hannity can't back up his assertions, if you repeat something often enough it becomes trut...
