Because global warming, poverty, war, and pollution isn't a priority for the rightwing christians. Pornography is evil, don't you know? Our children can go to hell for watching it!;)
free speech doesn't mean you get to escape the consequences of your speech. It only means that you get to say it in the first place.
So, your definition of free speech is that there isn't a speech controller chip implanted in your brain, and/or some guy walking behind you ready to gag you if you were to start uttering a sentence the government don't agree with? If you say in public that the leader of your country is a dummy, and get arrested and executed for it, is that free speech? You were, after all, able to say it.;)
In my opinion, free speech is _exactly_ escaping any consequences of your speech (although I'm aware and somewhat positive to the exceptions regarding slander and such). Vigilantes don't have any rights whatsoever to suppress any utterings they happen to disagree with, unless of course they do it by yelling louder than you.
They did develop a new 64-bit architecture with 128 integer and 128 floating-point registers (IIRC). It's called Intel Itanium (based on EPIC), which flopped badly, even if it could run x86 code with emulation. I'm guessing MMIX will have the exact same problems, simply because it isn't x86.
Pentium 4 reduces the CISC instructions to a series of RISC-like "microops" that, for the most complex of the bunch, can take hundreds of cycles to complete.

An anti-burglar alarm. Burglars often strike twice.
