The SW patenting shit at its best:
"
performing an arithmetic shift right of N-1 bits on the signed value of N bits to form a bit mask;
performing an exclusive-OR logical operation with the signed value of N bits and said bit mask to form a result; and
subtracting said bit mask from said result of said exclusive-OR logical operation to form the absolute value of the signed value of N bits.
"
A patent for three instructions :) I wonder how many patenst coders around here could hold if they submitted theirecoding tricks :)

What's the anti-troll code? That's your personal code to be able to add comments and messages on the dhs.nu site.
Don't have a code or forgot it? Fix it here.
