Since never. I can't imagine what minus sixtyfour bits mean anyway…
Obviously you didn't see my apology for my silly joke a few couple of
minutes before you posted you message, so here it is again, just in
case:

”Ok, just in case someone didn't get my very unnecessary joke there:
 – i686, is it 64 bits?
 – Negative.
 – You mean it's 32 bits?
 – No, -64 bits!

 (64 bits negative = -64 bits, pronounced ”minus sixtyfour bits”…)

 Sorry for making silly jokes in other peoples threads. I think I might
 avoid it from now on.”


Once again, I now realise why jokes are better kept away from serious
discussions, especially silly ones like mine.


Kind regards
