I agree that 2^64 bits is amazingly huge. But doesn't this sort of assumption tend to lead to problems later on down the road?
If I have 99 years of 1024x1024@24 50frames/sec movies, and 32061 terabytes of mail, music and other crap, than I have other problems to think about. 2^64 is so absurdly large that it is not worth even thinking about what one will do later right now. It is not like a silly string limit that one can hit at any time. And can we go back to the discussion about what apparoch should be taken to fix the file-system limit? Earth calling Roland and Thomas please respond. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
