I hate to break this to you, but technically, 33 bit is double 32 bits.
No, it's not. Having double the number of possible values in a register does not mean that it is "double". A "33-bit" machine, if one existed, could only operate on slightly larger chunks of data than a "32-bit" machine. The original poster is correct.
I don't want it overheating while in a compile...as an error could easily be compiled into code and be almost impossible to track down a bug....or so I've heard.

Then you should switch banks, not browsers.
These computational-expense and pay-per-message schemes are worthless and unfair to the individual enthusiast and small business person.
Scottie Richter, is that you?
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - COBOL standardizer/Father of ASCII Bob Bemer was found dead in his Texas home this morning.
Why is this marked Interesting? Hello, mods?
This is obviously a takeoff on the "Stephen King was found dead.." troll post.
About the only useful info a cracker would find in /etc/password is usernames, and if he can see that file to begin with, he's already got a login.
Yeah, and a huge list of email addresses. In the case of the grandparent, about 183,000.
Was it Patton or Macarthur who said, "Shoot 'em all, and let God sort them out"?
Rumsfeld, I believe.
The top tax bracket (for >$400,000) was 91% in the 50s and 60s, and right now it's only 39.6%.
I believe the top bracket is only 35% after the Bush tax cuts.

The models in TNG did not use CGI.
