32 bit cannot utilize more than 4GB ram. These days most new PC's come with 8GB as standard, and some even 16GB.
That's the big reason to move to 64 bit.

Do the police employ oracles or futurologists?
It certainly seems so.
I found this documentary very entertaining.
in your pocket the phone will eventually hit a place where the smaller force will be applied in the "right" spot and it will bend.
You're putting it in your pocket wrong.
And Denmark, and Norway, and Germany, and... many, many more.
Please educate yourself about Islam (from first principles).

To not be ignorant.
Basically this member of ISIS (with an East London accent) is explaining exactly what he believes, what his religion dictates, how he views the actions of the US, and why he feels justified in doing what he is doing.
The video cuts away prior to any actual gore being shown so it's not really that offensive (compared to some other videos I have seen).
If you really want to try to understand the whole complex mess of Islam in the 21st century, then there is a whole bunch of disturbing things you need to see, including this video (okay, you can stop about 30 seconds before the end for the 'sanitised' version.)
and stupid people like easy explanations, no matter how wrong they are
So tell me...
What is the 'right' explanation for looting the "Blood-stained mattresses, bedding and medical equipment" from a quarantine center set up specifically to deal with Ebola?
At least they have to kill some unbelievers as well...
Spreading the disease is a pretty effective way of doing just that.
Now, if the authorities in African countries are smart,
I suspect that the authorities are usually just as much RFSP as everyone else.
And calling for flame-throwers will invoke outrage from the PC RFSP in every other part of the world.
And you and I will now be called 'racist'.
Wasn't there enough information posted and published everywhere in the mass media in Liberia to inform even the dumbest people not to do that at all?
There is never enough information to inform willfully ignorant people.
And now I'll be called 'racist' again.
Brought peace?
WTF is 10Base-2 doing there? I haven't seen that since the mid-90's.
That was probably the "or so" that came after the word 'decade'.
A "decade or so" could be taken to mean 2 of them, which puts it back in the mid 1990's.
I think you're just being Captain Pedantic, when all the GP was really trying to say was that things move pretty quickly in IT.
I'd be interested in seeing the percentage breakdown of job applicants in comparison.
Hypothetically, suppose that on average 2 out of 10 job applicants are female. In order to achieve a '3 out of 10' female employee ratio means that Apple must have gone out of their way to hire more females than males.
Without knowing the demographic breakdown of the applicants, then the number of employees is meaningless.
I don't know your personal circumstances, but for me learning vi was one of the wisest things I ever did.
At university I hated it and ignored it, but in my very first real computing job after university I had the opportunity of watching somebody who was proficient in vi editing some code. He was touch typing editing commands and making text fly around the terminal faster than I could follow, so I put all my prejudices aside and bothered to learn how it was possible.
Yes there was a learning curve, but in very short time I was far more productive using vi than anything else.
But... you need to know how to touch-type. The biggest advantage of vi comes from the fact that you don't need to move off the home keys. Someone who can type without actually looking at the keys can understand how valuable this is. Hunt-n-peckers will never understand this.
