For most people, the advantages aren't here yet. The biggest advantages are those that were included in the architecture specicifications. Things like more registers and more physical and virtual address space.
Those would be useful even without 64-bit instructions. By including them, 64-bit instructions will be available at the point when people need them.

I finally took the time to write a vbscript to copy the Mozilla directory from %APPDATA% to my flash disk, so now I have a roaming profile./me wishes USB drives supported "autorun".
You had a 486 in 1994? I envy you...I was dialing into a local BBS over 1200 baud using Telix on a 8086. My parents had all the cool hardware...a Tandy 286, and a homebrew 386.
(And as a result of my Telix experience, I thoroughly love minicom. Add a serial-to-telnet converter, and have fun.)
The example plane was the one that a defecting North Korean pilot came with. You didn't take it into spins...and its own designer dreaded diving in it.
Oh, please. RTFA. The engineers did everything they could, and by the book at that.
IIRC, the problem was with the reactor design. With that design, the "scram" unintentionally increased the neutron flux in the core, leading to increased heat, and the explosion.
The reactor designers were either poorly trained or otherwise incompetent.
The same can be said about other Soviet technology. If you read Chuck Yeager's autobiography, you'll learn that the MiG designers were nepotism-based drop-ins from the political party. And the planes sucked. Their jet fighters were incapable of some maneuvers that the World War II P-51 could perform easily.
Even if it could, would you want to give up the power you get with a graphics-dedicated coprocessor? As it stands, your GPU can do one task while your multitasking OS uses your CPU to let you do other things. (like background fetchmail runs, or your Samba shares.
If you wanted a dedicated graphics-editing terminal, it might make sense. But even current GPU technology doesn't yet make the expense worth the gain.

Except for power consumption and subsequent electricity and air conditioning costs.
Clusters aren't cheap, even if they don't cost as much as a Cray.
Sure, but it won't be rendering to your screen...more likely to a DivX video file.
(Cool site, BTW.)
It doesn't view my pron collection while i'm away does it?
Didn't you ever wonder why "FindFast.exe" kept hogging your computer in spurts?
"Do you know how old your document is?" -> "How old is it?"
"Do you know what program you use to edit it?" -> "Is it in this list?"
"Was the document originally authored on this computer?" -> "What Microsoft Sync Tool did you use?"
Another day, another wizard, another hassle...
No, that'd be like SCO.
But seeing VeriSign lose reputability in the business world is fine, too.
The article doesn't say anything about muscles...I'm still curious what they atteched to the jawbone.
As the AC pointed out, (but nobody seems to have noticed,) the titanium was strictly a mold. It was removed after the transplant.
From start to end, the bone-replacement procedure took four weeks.
If muscles can be kept from atrophying in that amount of time, you could probably replace long bones like those found in arms and legs.
That'd be cool...
stupid little tasks like talking to the AI so it doesn't go crazy
Enter SpeedStep...allow the AI to go to relative sleep.
If the clockspeed's been maxed out when it shouldn't be...beware.

Sorry about that...it was supposed to be a joke.
Here's your solution. (look at the next few days' comics.)
Nah...then the contest would last longer. Nobody would want to take it down...
Protection doesn't work.... we must preach abstinence to our children...

Just stay off the internet until you're 18, kids... (and you have your own damn computer/network to infect)

Yeah, I generalized a bit.

Are you saying that now we can, for example, sue Ford because they produced the car that was purchased by a drunken driver who killed someone?
They've been trying to do that to the gun industry for years...
For any two files, sure. But ff you have hundreds of thousands of files, the likelyhood goes up by that much.
My statistics are rusty...anyone want to work the problem? Say with 2, 10, 100, (10^[3..6]) files?
Indeed. Transparent machinery should be great as a teaching tool...I hope to see this sort of thing show up in tech-teaching museums.
The "ban" is on new lines of stem cells. Meaning funding is only available for lines we've already got.
Better yet...transparent cockpit doors.

Whoa...was that a troll against me? Must be...I've never noticed anyone else mentioning their diagnosis.
And I was diagnosed by an MD.
