by Richard Adams. I truly believe it helps people build empathy, and sympathize with animals and understand how frail and exposed they really are.

Why not skip ahead and just try to patent the evolution of culture and using the Internet, right away? Fuck you and your stupid patents!

Vote with your wallet, let the NSA and U.S gov know that all the shit they pull only works as long as we are willing to support the U.S economy. Buy local brands first, other brands second, and American brands last.

I suspect they actually do believe in evolution, but they're commonly confusing it with the theory of the origins of life where stardust simply assembled itself to form us.

like I do when I play Phantasy Star.

when other countries do the same, and rule that the works of American authors long gone is not subject to copyright law outside of the U.S. "Sherlock Holmes belongs to the USA" is probably what they mean here, and I think more of these rulings will come.

I suspect most of these bans will be put in place. The hammer has started coming down on foreign tech, because U.S gov wants that flow of money into its own economy. U.S gov will leverage its power for the wider adoption of U.S based products and services both inside and outside of the U.S. The goal is to control and own as much of the global money flow as possible. The trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific "partnerships" only aim to increase the strength and market share of U.S based companies, services and products, and through its companies the U.S gov can leverage its politics. The ultimate is when U.S gov through Monsanto (which through the Monsanto Protection Act has now effectively become an extension of the government) can control the production and supply of food to any country in the world as a means of political control.

You've just misunderstood it. It is in essence a performance enhancement, and you would benefit from it simply from selecting x32 target (instead of x86-64) when compiling.

You've not understood this correctly. x32 is an enhancement and optimization for executable files that do not require gigabytes of RAM, primarily regarding performance. It has nothing to do with the availability or lack of RAM in the system, or how much RAM costs to buy in the computer store.

Of course the OS is still 64-bit in that regard, it's just the address space of that particular application which is reduced to 32-bit to streamline it. The majority of all executable files do not require several gigabytes of RAM, hence it makes sense to streamline their address space.

It's not a complication, it's an enhancement. A majority of software does not need a 64-bit address space and can thus be streamlined while still getting the benefits of doing fast 64-bit integer math, among other things. Obviously you just select the target when compiling and that's that, it's like enabling an optimization, so what are you talking about?

They've made sure it's even more expensive to upgrade the new Mac Pro than the last one. If you have more money than sense, then this is the computer for you.

People implementing JavaScript engines. Among many other. You would instantly lament if every bit of machine code deployed in the world were suddenly to reimplement itself in your beloved JavaScript.
