They're 64-bit variant of x86, or x86-64. x64 is a shit name and people should stop using it. Sadly that probably won't happen thanks to Microsoft.

There most likely some legal issues (like he probably had to sign some sort of contract that protected the source or some shit), but luckily both parties involved seem to want to open the Linux port. So it should really be an issue. And I t

I've noticed an increase amount of racist crap posted on more generic subs like /r/videos since the closing of /r/fatpeoplehate etc. It bothers me greatly. This shit shouldn't be getting to the top, but it is.

I'm not sure I would say its supremely arrogant to tell them to upgrade their kernels. I'm sure if they realized that they were breaking sub 3.16 kernels they would of announced it before hand, but they fudged that. So instead of
