Don't you get sick of hearing this? These people have never read a Supreme Court decision. They're rarely about what the headlines state. I believe they didn't hear the case because there doesn't seem to be any contention in the Federal Circuit (yet). It's a single Circuit (1st) that basically had a tie vote. This needs to be heard by the lower courts again and in a different circuit.

What did he switch from 15 years ago when he went to Intel?

Not that I actually remember much from linux development back then, but around that time AMD Opteron was the chip to get. Instead of the IA64 instruction set, the Opteron introduced AMD64. This introduced 64 bit to the standard x86 CPUs, and later became the standard for both manufacturers and was renamed into x86_64. Intel was also behind in performance, due to scaling issues with its Netburst microarchitecture.

Thank you for a comment with content. Unlike mine, but you know what, I don't care because yours was actually informative.
