Formatting and Decimal column

I added a <wbr> tag to the decimal representation of deadbeef-dead-beef-dead-beef00000075, to allow the line to break. Without it, the 39-character value caused the Decimal column to be wide enough to fit that value on a single line. This meant that the table spilled over and covered the Tools sidebar on the right of the screen (on my Macbook Air - I'm assuming this would also be a problem for other computers with similarly sized screens). With this line break, the Decimal column is much narrower.

If there's another, clearer way to represent a decimal number too long to fit on a single line, someone can change it to match that (a couple of quick google searches weren't enough to turn up an existing convention if one exists). Jacobdgm (talk) 12:14, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other nice ones =

Here's a summary of some other nice ones from <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20180924090107/https://www.decafbad.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/HexOddities#0xC0CAC01A_0xADD511FE<\ref> that are not currently in the table. 0xC0dedBad, 0xBadCab1e, 0xABadCafe, 0x00FeedFaceC0ffee, 0xC0CAC01A 0xADD511FE (Coco Cola Adds Life), 0xBEEFCACE (supposedly used by Microsoft .NET as magic number in resource files System.Resources.ResourceManager.MagicNumber), 0xDEAC (=DEAD-1, The Apple II's ProDOS? operating system kept a table of device drivers for the various block devices attached to a computer. 0xDEAC (or $DEAC as we wrote it in those days) was the address pointed to if there was no block device installed in a particular slot). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pulu (talk • contribs) 14:44, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
