Not surprising - USB sticks use flash, which isn't magnetic. I'd say it would take one helluva field to seriously frell up the data on those chips. Now, static OTOH, that could be more destructive. (ie, don't try it)
I agree. However, this isn't likely to happen until we convince everybody to stop using NT4. (No, this isn't a Linux troll. Win2k or WinXP would do just as well. Or Linux - just so you know this isn't a pro-Windows troll... gah)/posting this from work, where we're stuck with NT4.
Umm, if it's an outgrowth of Opteron, then it automagically does both. X86-64 chips run 32-bit x86 code without modification. (Not just marketing hype. I've got an Athlon64, and it does indeed work as advertised.)
(doh. Misformatted last time.) Nah. It'll look more like this:
GTK, having already had a file dialog that didn't suck, made some changes and now it sucks again.
OpenOffice, once fast, (1.1), is now at 3.0, which is once again slow as dirt.
G6 kicks major arse. Intel still runs at a higher clock speed. Still can't convince the sheeple that this doesn't mean that the Pentium 6 is faster. AMD just laughs it up as Opteron2 mops the floor with Intel, for less money. Apple/IBM pointedly ignores this.;-)
NetBSD now runs on every piece of 32 or 64-bit hardware ever built. Still a totally fringe OS though. OpenBSD still doesn't do SMP. FreeBSD still doesn't support the Emu10k1.
Debian finally upgrades the stable tree to 2.6 - though 3.4 is the new stable release.

I don't see that claimed anything about patented algorithms not making for serious apps. Of course emerge -e world won't give you/every/ serious app that can ever be written for a 64-bit platform, but it will automagically 64-bit-optimize (for certain values of 'optimize') a fairly large number of existing apps, some of which are certainly serious. (Like PostgreSQL, Apache, OpenOffice, XFree86, GIMP, etc - and don't forget the ability of Linux itself to run either Ath64-native or in x86 code).
If/. ever gets kuroded (Rusty says that's the official term, though we've only ever done it one or two times), I'll laugh. I'll cry. I'll hurl.

Wouldn't MRAM or (if it could be made cheaper) SRAM do a helluva lot to improve latency?
