So everyone uses int, and we get messages like: "This program currently uses -1404024 bytes of RAM". I have strong feelings against using signed types for variables that are ever going to only hold positive numbers, especially when it comes to sizes and lengths.
If you ignore type limits, you're asking for trouble. Imagine you have 2 gigs of ram and 3 gig pagefile on 32-bit OS. What is the total size of available memory?
