Never once did I say 2^64 ought to be enough for anybody, so how about stop being a jerk?
Try reading what you quoted again, nobody is running out yet.
There are a lot of intermediate steps between 2^64 and 2^128! ;)
Except you're skipping over the part about running out at 2^64:
> Some customers already have datasets on the order of a petabyte, or 250 bytes. Thus the 64-bit capacity limit of 264 bytes is only 14 doublings away. Moore's Law for storage predicts that capacity will continue to double every 9-12 months, which means we'll start to hit the 64-bit limit in about a decade.
2^64 bits ought to be enough for anybody. -- jsjohnst
