I think that's supposed to be nand. blendv is a SIMD instruction that I don't know much about.

void hurrrrrrrr() {__asm sub [ebp+4],5;}

There are ten kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary and those who don't.

"These intrinsics pack multiple operations in a single instruction. Blending

conditionally copies one field in the source onto the corresponding field in the

destination."

Apparently blendv is a splicing/crossover sort of thing. Weird example for a list of primitive bitwise operations.
