Bzzt!  Wronger answer!  Intel is headquatered in Santa Clara, which is,
of course, part of Caliphobia.  And it is, of course, headquarters where
all the hemming, hawing, and tap-dancing is coming from.  Portland is
safe (for now).

I wonder how the few customers who have bought Pentium-based Intel Paragon
supercomputer feel about this brouhaha?  ;^)
