Given the amazing variety of skill-sets that the vocal population of this forum exhibits, along with the somewhat creepy lurker subset, therein is contained a significant amount of knowledge, covering all manner of studies or industries.

It is here that we ask the questions we didn't feel like spending hours on wikipedia to find the answer. Anyone may ask, anyone may answer.

To start,

What are the difficulties in coding between 32bit and 64bit?

    a 32-bit register is a series of 32 switches that can create 4 294 967 296 discrete numbers in binary

    a 64-bit register is the same thing with double the switches, allowing you to create
    2^64 = 1.84467441 × 10^19 numbers

    thus when you have a 64-bit memory system, you can utilize a lot more memory at once

    wiki

    ages ago, everyone figured "pff, four gigabytes of memory? who's ever going to have that in a computer?" so most were built with a 32-bit structure. Switching to a 64-bit architecture means we won't have that problem again until people start making computers with more than 18 exabytes of memory or whatever they're called.

    In 64 bit you have to create the individual strands of hair on Bubsy's ass. In 32 bits you just have to worry about giving him Bobcat attitude - in 64 bits you have to give him Bobcat attitude and rectal hair - it's much more difficult.

    My question:
    If Jesus came back to earth today would he eat pork?

    You should probably buy some stuff with rainbows on it - like a flag, or a bumper sticker, or a cape or something.

    seriously I do not get that stereotype

    it's all

    black people like fried chicken

    and watermelon

    and grape soda

    and women with huge asses

    and diamon-covered goblets

    I thought that the inherent value of these things were all universally agreed upon!

    no it is scheduled for an upswing in January 2011.

    In the mean time we will experience a resurgence in thai food and freeze pops

    Hipsters, I think, developed from the Indie. The term is explicitly derogatory where Indie isn't necessarily.

    I have been told many different things about my feet

    in Asia my feet are wide

    in Australia my feet are narrow

    in the US my feet are the same size

    elsewhere they are not the same size
