I think I missed it too...

We should definitely switch back to relevant stuff now, though.

Has anyone done serious research into the execution prevention  
measures that Intel claims to include in newer Pentiums?  Seems to me  
that if such a technology could really work, the only place it could  
work universally would be in the CPU.  There'd have to be a LOT of  
logic behind that functionality, though...
