PC World: Apple G5 Gets Trounced By Athlon 64 Posted by timothy on Wednesday October 15, @09:01AM from the os-x-doesn't-run-so-hot-on-athlon dept.

The COPA was passed in 1998 in an effort to crack down on sites that don't block porn from children. It calls for 6 months in jail and $50,000 in fines for first-time violaters.
