Manufacturers and carriers that hold back Android updates are like IT departments that keep everyone on IE6. Developers have to decide whether or not to support new features given so many people running old versions. And if they do use the new features, do they lock out the old versions, or spend extra time writing workarounds and testing on those old versions?

The CPython implementation has a global interpreter lock that makes threading worthless in some situations, but the language certainly supports it (and other implementations can use it without restriction).

As a Solaris user, I guess I just don't get it. Why EXACTLY do you need a 64bit version of flash? Have they removed the ability in linux of running 32bit binaries on a 64bit system?
It's nice not to have to maintain an extra userland just for one program. If I upgrade JACK and the wire protocol changes, Flash can't make sound until I go find the latest 32-bit libs.
"Younger workers' lives are all integrated, not segregated," says Larry Rivard. "They have learned to work anywhere — at a kitchen table or wherever."
Could that be because their office space has become so worthless that anywhere else is preferable?
I prefer adding extra days to the calendar when behind schedule.
