Jeezuz I hate Intel...

I didn't have a good reason before, at least not that I could explain to
non-technical people, now I have a reason I can explain.  I mean - an Ultra
2!!??  WTF?

That tells me that Intel go their ass kicked by the latest UltraSparc
processors.

Even more reaon to hate Intel for this - some fucking suit is gonna read
those benchmarks and force their IT dept to switch from Sun to Itanium,
spending imperial buttloads of money in the process, and end up with horrid
performance - then blame the IT dept for poor execution.

Stuff like this makes me sick.  I mean really, I'm beyond disgust at this
point...
