[19:42] <mhall119> is there no code available yet for the new website theme?
[21:47] <cjohnston> newz2000: you around?
[21:47]  * newz2000 might be around
[21:48] <newz2000> what's up cjohnston
[21:49] <cjohnston> can i talk you into looking at bug 585940 please
[21:49] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 585940 in ubuntu-website "Text reads "not recommended" for 64-bit (affects: 31) (heat: 159)" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/585940
[21:50] <newz2000> Ugh
[21:50] <newz2000> I can assure you that the "not recommended" is perfectly valid, but I'll get some others to weigh in.
[21:51] <cjohnston> well.. at uds it was mentioned that the next lts will hopefully only come in a 64 bit
[21:52] <cjohnston> and why is it not recommended
[21:52] <cjohnston> other than a few minor issues, there is nothing better about 32
[21:53] <newz2000> well, from my pesonal experience with 9.10
[21:53] <newz2000> flash and firefox both were relatively screwed up
[21:53] <newz2000> I've heard from others that some drivers don't work with 64b as well, but that's 2nd hand
[21:53] <cjohnston> flash still has an issue.. but easy work around..
[21:54] <cjohnston> i run only 64bit
[21:54]  * newz2000 notes that he did not choose the wording here
[21:54] <cjohnston> no issues with ff
[21:54] <cjohnston> i know
[21:54] <newz2000> There's also the issue that if a person chooses 32b and is on 64b hardware things work, but the opposite is not true
[21:55] <cjohnston> that doesnt mean it should say not recommended.. maybe a better thing to solve that would be a link to educate which to choose
[21:56] <newz2000> I wonder if there's a way to detect with Javascript
[21:56] <newz2000> What would be cool is if you could switch from 32b to 64b relatively painlessly
[21:56] <cjohnston> you mean prior to install or on the site?
[21:57] <newz2000> during / after install
[21:57] <cjohnston> id be interested in knowing how many computers are still 32bit
[21:57] <cjohnston> i have 1 of 6
[21:57] <cjohnston> theres not enough cd space for during
[21:58] <newz2000> Tiger direct and Best Buy still sell 32b machines
[21:58] <cjohnston> you want me to write a post saying its being researched?
[21:58] <cjohnston> wow
[21:58] <cjohnston> damn
[21:58] <newz2000> (Pentium Dual Core (as in, not core 2 duo or core duo))
[21:58] <cjohnston> and maybe some of the reasons you mentioned?
[21:58] <cjohnston> damn
[21:58] <newz2000> sure
[21:58] <cjohnston> ok
[22:09] <cjohnston> newz2000: comment made...
