[–] Svip 11y ago ↗ I hate to be this guy, but - as neat as this solution is - can we please stop saying 'x64'? Intel 64, amd64 or x86_64 are fine, but x64 just sounds so wrong. It seems completely ignorant of why the architecture is called x86 to begin with. [–] bsummer4 11y ago ↗ It's short, and the "why" behind names doesn't matter. [–] elektronjunge 11y ago ↗ Its also ambiguous there are about 5 different, relatively popular "x64" architectures. [–] TazeTSchnitzel 11y ago ↗ It's fine, it's a harmless abbreviation. Yes, we know, x86 means "ends in 86", but it doesn't matter.x86 is inaccurate anyway, since people actually mean >= Pentium.
