So, honestly...
Who gives a flying fuck what ESR has to say?
He's on the record as being racist, threatening legitimate political process with violence, and on a personal level, he's just gross. He wrote a book once! Yay! People like the book! Yay! But there's no evidence that he's actually any sort of leader we should rally around or give any time to - he seems like kind of a jerk and an idiot ("Am I the *most* famous developer in the world?" -- ESR, paraphrased).
Get this utter shit off my frontpage.
Our company used ServePath's GridPath servers, their virtualized offering which, I believe, is the backbone behind the GoGrid service (which I believe to be basically a somewhat automated billing wrapper around GridPath).
The experience was horrible, with frequent downtime, and one experience where our server was down for over 30 hours; even the upstream ISV was unable to diagnose the problem, until our server instance was simply deleted and restored from an image.
We're still using ServePath, but we've moved back to physical hardware.
The only mention of 64-bit anywhere on the Adobe website is from an interview talking about where they've been in the last 10 years, and where they want to go in the next 10 (apparently, they'll have 64-bit flash as soon as quantum computing is mainstream).
Actually, when I click on the AP article, I get a weather update:

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Fast-moving thunderstorms brought new waves of rain on Sunday to Southern California, following days of drenching weather and heavy mountain snowfall and raising fears of mudslides and flooding.
The worst of the storm was over, and Monday promised to bring a spell of clear weather, forecasters said.
"Things will start to die down as the night goes on," said National Weather Service forecaster Ryan Kittell.
Up to 3 inches of rain had fallen by early afternoon in valley and coastal areas since nightfall Saturday, with about 4 inches in the mountains, forecasters said. Wind gusts of 30 to 50 mph were reported in some areas.
Officials said the rain brought a threat of serious slides on hillsides stripped of vegetation by last year's wildfires. Mud and minor rock slides prompted authorities to shut a highway through a burned area near San Diego. Voluntary evacuations were in effect in heavily burned Modjeska Canyon in Orange County.
The Los Angeles County and Orange County fire departments were on standby for possible flash floods and slides. Flash flood watches remained in effect through Sunday night for Los Angeles, Ventura and San Bernardino counties.
To avoid overflow, the flood gates at the Big Tujunga Dam in the San Gabriel Mountains were opened Sunday, releasing 500 cubic feet of water a second.
Department of Public Works spokesman Gary Boze said the controlled flooding was routine during heavy storms.
In downtown Los Angeles, Sunday's basketball game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers was delayed 12 minutes after a small leak in the Staples Center roof allowed a steady flow of water to fall on the court.
The Santa Anita race track in Arcadia, meanwhile, canceled horse races for the sixth day this month because of wet conditions on the synthetic track.
The storm system also soaked parts of Northern California and the weather service posted winter storm warnings for parts of the Sierra Nevada.
A highway was closed in the mountains south of San Francisco, and Pacific Gas and Electric said about 2,700 homes and businesses were still blacked out because of earlier storms.
A series of fierce storms has caused deadly avalanches, flooded streets and set off mud and rock slides in recent days. Some areas have received more moisture in a week than during the entire rainy season last year.
Three skiers were killed Friday by a trio of avalanches that swept through canyons outside the trails of Mountain High ski resort at Wrightwood, northeast of Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Mountains. A fourth man escaped the avalanches.
Avalanches are unusual in the San Gabriel Mountains, but the peaks had been hit by 3 feet or more of new snow this past week, drawing thousands of skiers and snowboarders.

If you're existing in a Universe without a single time dimension, there can still be a subjective experience of time.
Basically, your experience is wherever your experience is. If you're in a four dimensional space, and your awareness is moving through it, then whatever ordering you move through it in becomes your time.
However, your subjective experience may then partially be in dimensions other than the one currently labeled as "time."
You know... I used to know something, but my brain was designed by an evolutionary process that found it aids it recall to actively suppress conflicting memories, so I forgot it.
Can I charge evolution with destruction of evidence? Why not subpoena people's memories? Or require them to write everything down?
I don't think it's particularly meaningful to use the word processor as our example. The basic word processor is a well-understood piece of software, and any decently well-done implementation will offer students what they need in the "typing a paper" department.
There are, however, other distinct advantages to free software: free 3D modeling, music editing, laboratory data sampling, image processing, publishing.
Teach the students to do these things with a computer, and I think... well, wordperfect will still be a huge step down, but more importantly, I think there will be a shift in who picks what software you use at the workplace. In the absence of the requirement of hugely expensive site licenses, I think it may become economical for each department or project, dare I dream even person, to pick what applications suit them best.
There are a choice few people out there working on the NEXT next wave: computers that operate directly through power of mind, without even any biological-based sensors. Check out Interchange Lab and look into the research published by PEAR on quantum random event generators.
The Registerfly frontpage makes no mention of any ICANN-enforced doom, and indeed, their order system still lets you register new domain names. I wasn't willing to shell out the $10 to test if it would actually complete the order, but I have a feeling it would.
Which would make them a scammer site. I wonder if we could get Google/Firefox to add them to their warn-on-view lists.

I've had a seller do literally that after I ignored their emails. Customer support sent me a canned reply after I complained.
Why IRIX? Used at your job?
Well, I have a bunch of monofilament phones I could bond together... sounds like we're on to something here.
Also used for Mac remote imaging / package management et al at our fortune 200 company.
