[Nottingham] Nottingham Digest, Vol 300, Issue 8

[tony atkins]

boring
how about some actual facts? doh!
if you don't use 64 bit and you are capable then you are so stupid

much quicker
do the math dumbo
anyone know the track "Slow tow train to Lhasa"
anyways when 256 bit is doing the bizness no doubt nlug will be debating how 32 bit apps work well with thier bbc model b's

get real get now
we should be hounding people who program to stop thinking 32bit
hell we should be hounding them to multitask across processors not silly stupid 32 bits

64bits + sata drive and you are cooking

wakey wakey!
