In my opinion, it's a solution in search of a problem. He's proposing a system where on each and every update every client has to download a binary version for all supported platforms. Let's calculate how that would affect the binary size of my
That's without debugging symbols for each arch. You do the math for other ditributions. Think of the cost of updates in terms of bandwidth for updates.
This problem has been already solved by package managers and those are far from the weak link he makes them out to be. Moving the architecture detection from the installation phase to the run phase will only add to the problem. Instead of relying on my system vendor's package manager, I have to rely on every application vendor to do the right thing.
m=cc/E, duh!

Judging from the error bars on that one, you must be an astronomer.

"scientifically proven impossible" (FTL)
I wouldn't bet on that that just yet. Within the current model, yes. But the current model has some rough corners and the sci-fi fan side of me can't help to mention what came out of the "two clouds on the sky of physics".
But why raise the price of the ipod and not the music?
Because then they'd have to make an effort in making music people want to pay for. Since artists are rare in this industry the managers have to turn to lawyers for a solution.
In fact, maybe I'll just go sit under a tree and die. It will be more romantic. Romantic in the artistic sense, which is the kind all slashdotters can relate to.
I don't get it. Is it a binary tree?

Knowing emacs, to actually issue that command, you would have to press all those buttons at once.
