  1. eXecute Disable (XD) bit by axis_omega · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This is the eXecute Disable (XD) bit...The Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX and Opteron processors also offer this feature, which AMD calls No eXecute (NX).

    I have long waited to see this day! Finally the evil bit will prevail!
    Long live the bit! Your are the only "one" true lord.
