Objection Your Honor! According to OED, presumption is "taking upon oneself of more than is warranted by one's ability, position, right, etc.; forward or overconfident conduct or opinion; arrogance, effrontery, pride". I may be an arrogant bastard, but I have used Solaris on 64-bit SPARCs since the beginning of the century and I'm just repeating the argument I hear from Solaris people every time I ask "why TF not compile /bin/sh as 64-bit application, so it doesn't crash with 'Argument list too long' every time you try to use a '*' on directory with lots of files". Of course, memory is cheap and most people don't bother: x86_64 Fedora comes with 32- and 64-bit builds of everything including firefox, and 64-bit is the one that gets installed by default. Anyway, my original question was "exactly what useful information do you expect to find in 64-bit browser report?"
