Why would a 16-bit value be called a "half-word"? It's always been a word and 32-bit has always been a double word. You're the one asking to use a new code with your half-word.
Someone screwed up when we went with 32-bit CPUs and people kept saying that a word is the maximum value for a CPU. We're using 64-bit CPUs now, so that means a half word would be 32-bit and a 16-bit value would be a quarter word. You can't try to change the meaning of a word with every CPU upgrade otherwise that's when you need to rewrite trillions of dollars of code.
Update upwards, not backwards. Byte is 8-bit Word is 16-bit Double word is 32-bit Quad word is 64-bit Octo word will be 128-bit Etc.
Until now, all known high temperature superconductors have been ceramic mixes of materials such as copper, oxygen lithium, and so on, in which physicists do not yet understand how superconductivity works.
They can see it works but yet they cannot understand it. Now why should I believe them when they say ghosts don't exists even though my grandma totally swears that she saw one about a month ago?
To be blunt, it took over 26 years to find even with the source code and all the programmers on the planet who could to look at it.
If it were closed source, the bug probably wouldn't exist anymore because closed source probably doesn't keep using code that's two-and-a-half decades old. As examples, OS X has nothing from Mac OS classic and Windows 95 is long gone from modern Windows version. Or at least I would hope so.
Despite being one of the most pirated software vendors in the world, Microsoft doesn't have a long track record of cracking down on individual pirates.
If Anime is any indication, the Japanese equivalent of the FBI should be at least three or four decades ahead in terms of technology... and have much sexier female agents as well as powerful mechas that almost act like household pets but with cute voices.

Byte is 8-bit
Word is 16-bit
Double word is 32-bit
Quad word is 64-bit
Octo word will be 128-bit
Etc.
An 8-bit value is called a byte and we do need words to describe 16-bit and 32-bit values, regardless of the maximum allowed by the CPU.
What about the CNC services from King Roland?
I think they should skip the whole process and 3D-print their own oil.
I think we really need tags for content.

As a user, I've been pissed at advertisers for nearly two decades now.
Yeah, better go with FedEx.
Emphasis mine.

Only kids use Facebook.

If you need me to have a Facebook account to be able to contact me, then drop me as a friend.
Of course you do. That's 50% more customers for the clothing industry.
I use comment sense and go even one step further and make an alias on the server for each service/company that asks for my personal email address.
However, all it takes is for one friend to use your business email address for an online service (some stupid file-sharing site) and you're screwed.
You wanted something sexist? Why didn't you say so in the first place! Here you go!
The one with the bigger breasts, of course.
If the price was set by Verizon, it probably means "0.50 cents" per GiB.
I've also heard that a lot of their soldiers played Russian Roulette in their free time.
So I guess that makes the Federation itself Canadian, eh?
Since shut up we need clickbait headlines, that's when.
Maybe the Japanese are more like Romulans or Ferengi than Klingons after all.
All the Twitters in the world care, buddy.
Don't you think we already have enough of those? Shouldn't they be working on treatments and cures instead?

You're suing it wrong.
You're buying it wrong.
You're DRM'ing it wrong.
Now that the stupid cliché is done, let's continue with the real discussion.
