I don't buy it. suppose the first civilization exists millions of years before any others, or merely believes it does. then it can go about destroying other developing civilizations with impunity, just on the assumption that other civilizations might someday pose a threat. Maybe we're being observed already, and once we start making relativistic starships we get wiped out.
even here we have more than one system of mathematics, you can make some postulates and then a system follows from those. maybe other places have different maths, or a way of modeling reality without maths.
at present, Windows apps are what is run on most netbooks, 96% of the market.

oh yeah, and the XL C compiler for AIX costs extra $$$ too.

the el-cheapo crap K&R kind that have come with SunOS/SOlaris and HP/UX and such for years are only for kernel compiles (mainly linking to activate modules). The full processor-tuned C compilers are extra money. And the IRIX one needed a registration key for more $$.

sorry, you're the one living in fantasy land. The AT&T kind was mediocre, so Ken Thomspon and other hippies jazzed up the code (which was given to schools by at&t) with many improvements (32 bits, virtual memory, better tcpip) to make BSD. Later it was found in lawsuit against UCB that AT&T had incorporated (stolen) many BSD features into Unix. that was the hippie stuff, that made Unix good. So the BSD damn hippies wrote replacements for the AT&T things

Unix is grand, I consider the open source BSD and GNU/Linux flavors of Unix. But Unix(tm), I could tell that was starting to go downhill when they stopped including full C compiler with system, all of a sudden it wasn't a system one could extend as needed without paying serious coin. Most Unix(tm) meant being locked into one hardware vendor
x86 compatibility still a big consideration in many applications, that's why x86 has 80% market share of the netbook market at present. Some say this may drop to less than 50% in three years for the reasons you cited, but the x86 makers won't be standing still either

Ritchie invented C, it's funny that Ken worked on B with some help from Ritchie, C was the successor to B
"the money they earned", what a load of bullshit. the people of the United States just involuntarily loaned the megacorp/banking system hundreds of billions of dollars to prop up their failed businesses. these megacorporations who bribe and make campaign donations to lawmakers to create laws to be in their favor, while the people are saddled with a taxation system that punishes them more the more they earn.
now that's a laugh, this country is ruled by minions of the petrodollar and banking cartels, and markets controlled to their benefit. for that matter, it was founded on the principal of allowing slavery. And the last two years have seen the greatest acts of socialism in the history of mankind committed by the U.S. government (bailouts, injections, secret bank loaning systems). what is this "capitalism" of which you speak, I see no evidence whatsoever of such.

I'm running a 64 bit machine with emulator for 32 bit, but it sure isn't Itanium2 based. And at the mid and high end, 64 bit has been mainstream for years, but unless floating point performance is needed Itanium has plenty of alternative for general purpose business computing. HP made it the standard chip for its HP/UX and NonStop and VMS, but without (a minute fraction of projected) HP server sales Itanium would be nowhere.

how so? from 64-way smp down to VIA ultra-low voltage chips used in embedded and mobile, looks like a pretty versatile architecture
