They aren't the only 'ATI Technologies' that could be involved. For example, https://www.ati.org/ . I dunno if that's the case here, tho. Yeah...Voodoo was awesome.

Dhrystones were pretty misleading Yeah...always good for a laugh. Sure, your 68k can compute a Sieve of Eratosthenes 3 times faster than my 780 (or whatever)...but no 68k alive (at the time) could support 50+ interactive terminal users l

The 730 & 750 load microcode from cartridge tape (TU58). The 780/785 had a 'front end processor' (a baby PDP-11) which loaded microcode from floppies. It's a waste of gates in the CPU. Couple of things. First, VA

Wasn't VAX assembly very orthogonal and nice? This is the stuff of religious wars; and the VAX is the patron saint of the CISC school of ISA design. Large parts of the VAX ISA are very nice, and it's a lot of fun to program in

There's a pretty active retro community around the VAX arch, and a really decent emulator in SIMH, so the compiler still gets some love. The 68k arch is still in production, so no reason not to support it. LLVM added 68k support in th

A 750 was a nice 'personal computer' in 1987 (I ran 3 of them in that year, along with a 780 and a bunch of different microVaxen/Vaxstations) especially if you had plenty of memory (8MB was comfy, 14MB max). CPU wasn't

Likely part of what the attacker(s) are counting on. Anyone want to place odds this isn't the only thing that's going to be found?

No. Small domestic dogs like terriers routinely kill cats. I've seen both a fox and a hawk kill a cat. The fox was perhaps slightly larger but not much; you maybe could say the hawk was 'bigger' by wingspan only but couldn

Cats (domestic ones, at least, and most that aren't 'big cats') aren't apex predators; those are predators with virtually no predators of their own. Cats are predators, but lots of things eat cats. Not that my cats don&

I though it was obvious: "you don't do what I do, exactly like I do it, therefore you are wrong". There's a lot of that type running around.

Not Motorola (or Freescale). After the 68060 they dumped the mc68k architecture outside the embedded market (68300 line) for the 88000 RISC architecture. After 2-ish generations of 88k, they dumped it for PPC. There are numerous FPGA impl

The 8086/8088/80186/80188, 80286 & 80386 all required an external chip for floating point. The 80386DX was the full 32-bit data bus version. The 80386SX was a cost reduced version with a 16-bit data bus (akin to the diff
