first impression
At quick first glance (it's very late by now), I'm not sure I agree that all these things should be on the list. They are certainly topics within computer architecture. We can work it out later, but I hope no one is terribly attached to this particular list in its current incarnation. It's good to have placeholders, though.Pat Palmer 04:08, 9 May 2007 (CDT)

second impression
I have copied the entire list into compiler, so I'm not sure it's helpful to keep this as a separate list. It's generally a bad idea to duplicate information, and this stuff possibly needs to be introduced and summarized on the compiler page, in which case, maybe we should delete this extra copy of them.
