Tenchusatsu,<<<people acting in the name of "political correctness" have done more to harm than help the open exchange of ideas.>>> I know these are stressful times and emotions run high, but I don't think you should focus your anger on innocent people. It may sometimes be true that the "road to hell is paved with good intentions". But, I don't think people with good intentions should be your initial targets to vent your anger. I can't believe that you could give many examples of people acting in the name of "political correctness" have done more harm to innocent people than all the people who advocate doing real harm to innocent people. IMO your sense of proportions are out of proportion. <<<But that's not the only problem I have with the PC movement. The real problem I have is the notion that watching what you say will somehow solve all of the problems associated with prejudice and hate. It's the perfect example of a cosmetic solution. And even people who know exactly what is and isn't politically correct can still harbor prejudice and hate.>>> There is very little that people can do about other people who harbor prejudice and hate. But by watching what we say, and teaching our kids to watch what they say, so as not to add any fuel to the fire, is probably a good place to start. <<<The real problem lies in the heart of each and every human being. Real change comes from within, not from without. And that's why you'll never see me supporting the notion of politically correctness, even as a means to an end.>>> I hope you can get a few good nights of rest and get away from the stresses from recent events - and may be rethink some of this stuff.

Intel cancels one Xeon, accelerates another By Michael Kanellos Staff Writer, CNET News.com September 19, 2001, 3:45 p.m. PT Intel has scrapped plans for a 2GHz Xeon processor for workstations and servers but has accelerated release of a 2.2GHz Xeon with enhanced performance features to fill the gap. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chipmaker had planned to release a 2GHz version of Xeon for two-processor systems in the fourth quarter of this year, according to an Intel representative. That project has now been snuffed. However, the company will now release "Prestonia," the code name for a 2.2GHz Xeon for dual-processor systems, at the beginning of the first quarter of 2002 rather than toward the end of the quarter. The change in plans to some degree underscores the conservative nature of the server and workstation markets. In the consumer PC market, customers... The slightly accelerated release of Prestonia--and its accompanying Plumas chipset--also indicates that Intel appears to be succeeding in its conversion to the 130-nanometer (0.13-micron) manufacturing process. ... news.cnet.com
