Takes you twice as much data to overrun a buffer

Seriously, not played with it yet. You running AMD64 or IA64?

Looks like dictionary.com will have to update their definition of Windows now

microsloth windows


/mi:'kroh-sloth` win'dohz/ n. (Variants
combine Microshift, Macroshaft, Microsuck with Windoze, WinDOS.
Hackerism(s) for `Microsoft Windows'. A thirty-two bit extension
and graphical shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating
system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor which was
written by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of
competition. Also just called `Windoze', with the implication that
you can fall asleep waiting for it to do anything; the latter term
is extremely common on Usenet. See Black Screen of Death and
Blue Screen of Death; compare {X}, sun-stools.
