on the one hand one could just expect long to be always 64-bits by 2038. but that seems timid. i'd rather see the time base switched to nanoseconds. then the bother of the switch might benefit us while we still use the system. :-) 2038 is still 25 years off. a more pressing worry for me is the fact that haswell chipsets, and newer atom motherboards only support xhci. - erik
