Unfortunately getting this one to rhyme is too hard, so I'll just spell it out.



My prefix was yours but is now ours

My infix is both a sea animal and a musician

My suffix is a place you might lose a shoe

I am something that is in the news almost every day




The first 3 clues are all pop culture references, but they are quite well-known

I'm pretty sure you're




BASEBALL.




My prefix was yours but is now ours




All your base are belong to us. You have no chance to survive make your time.




My infix is both a sea animal and a musician




I confess I don't know this one. Maybe SEB (there's a Sebastian in "The Little Mermaid", apparently, and there must be lots of musicians of that name)?




My suffix is a place you might lose a shoe




BALL, as identified by El-Guest.




I am something that is in the news almost every day




Indeed it is, if you're in the US. And arguably BASEBALL is America's favourite sport.

  • The suffix is right, the rest is wrong (including the final answer). Unlike the other Rileys I've made today, this one is not a proper noun.

  • You are on the right track though by thinking that the answer could be described as "America's favourite xxx" for some value of xxx but you need to figure that part out on your own ;-)

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
