They tried that with the Itanium and it did not go well.
What Intel might do is faze out older parts of the ISA like the 16bit x86-x286 instructions to free up some space on the die. Even that might not be worth the effort since I am pretty sure those are already "emulated" on modern CPUs in the decoder.
I thought that it would a good idea for Intel to go only 64 bit on their mobile chips. They have no real installed code base in mobile to worry about.

Cray did it first.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...
Seymour Cray build a GaAs based computer almost 20 years ago. It actually worked but he ran out of money because of the end of the Cold War and the need for Super Computers decreased.

" Nobel invented the process of making TNT"
No he did not.
Nobel invented dynamite which is nitroglycerin mixed with diatomaceous earth. TNT is Trinitrotoluene.
So much for science history education.

Okay it supports Klingon but not Cherokee?

1 It also does Klingon.
2. There does not seem to be a word in Yucatec Maya for quark.

Actually I am a student of history and I am not a Rand fanboy but I did like Fountianhead but I also know that it is fiction.
Like most things in life it is all a matter or degree.
The goal of government is to put in just enough regulation to keep a free competitive marketplace that works but so much regulation that it makes doing business a nightmare.
For example why is crap like Airborne "cold medicine" allowed to be for sale when the label says it does nothing. On the flipside when one of the military services wanted to buy a piece of software I worked on the "bid" came in a 50 pound box.

You left out that when it breaks it is your fault. You were driving it wrong.

I am not to worried about this test on mice. Now if they tried it on Chimps then things get into the very creepy zone.

It maybe the year of the Linux Desktop. The thing is that the the distro could end up being ChromeOS.

I thought the same thing.
Computers has been very fast for a while now. Only things like transcoding and some gaming really push CPUs for the "average home user".

Unless you count things like CPUs and operating systems as weapons, entertainment, or food I think you have to add tech to that list.

It is a document management system

"In most cases, they could not fly over people other than the operators."
It says in most cases.
On a closed set with safety precautions it would be allowed.

These are safety rules people Keeping the aircraft in sight means and having the ability to have the operator take control is actually a good rule. It should help keep down injuries and property damage. Remember this is for a vehicle of up to 50lbs. A 50lbs vehicle moving at say 80 mph can do a lot of damage.
And before anyone says it this is for all remote control aircraft and not just quadcopters! I have seen fixed wing RC aircraft moving a lot faster than 80mph.

These rules will allow for things like aerial photography for movies, news, and real estate, also for a lot of AG uses and other inspection tasks.
Nope these are good rules to start with and in a few years maybe opened up.
The last thing anyone wants is for a 50lbs drone to crash into a school bus full of Nuns taking orphans to a Christmas party and having it crash into an animal shelter killing all the kids, nuns, and puppies.

Your leaving out the entertainment factor.
One ticket is less than a cup of coffee at Starbucks or a large soda at most restaurants. It is about the same as a song on Itunes.
So is the fun of possibility of winning several hundred million dollars worth the cost of a cup of coffee?
