The Patriot has at least 8 confirmed kills. Granted all occured in the second Iraq war, but we should stop spreading lies.

Programmers have been using 64bit programming for a long time. Use an __int64 in Visual Studio 6 and it ends up using the EAX and EDX registers to get the number of bits.

People also forget that IA-64 is not the same as the IA-32e 64bit extensions to x86 most people use today. Microsoft did make Windows for the IA-64. Unfortunately the Itanium has been a flop except for HPC.

The IA-128 is most likely another instruction set being research and developed by Intel.

I dislike the ribbon interface because I find that the many actions take 1 to 3 more mouse clicks compare to the classic office interface.

I tried the change. I don't think it is an improvement.

I agree a religion is not require. I don't agree religion is a contradiction to "right result" for someone else. It is only a contradiction for your "right result."

I still believe the point of my original post, "wrong reason, right result" is flawed, still stands. The pursued argument further supports the my assertion.

The straw at this moment seems strong enough.

Are there any religions you believe should be endorsed by the government because they bring about the right result?

My comment is to point out the flaw in "wrong reason, right result" thought process; not to debate the validity of global warming.
