nuclear war (Miscellaneous)

posted by kerravon, Ligao, Free World North, 07.11.2022, 00:31

In a discussion elsewhere (hercules-380), I was told
that in a nuclear war, it is possible that all
industrial cities in the world will be nuked, so that
they don't have a competitive advantage.

And that the only people who will still be able to
manufacture processors will be universities, and
they will only be able to do 8-bit computers, not
16-bit.

So there will be a time delay before new 16-bit
computers become available.

In addition, the 16-bit computers, when available,
may or may not go through the same historical
process, ie segmentation. It can't be ruled out.

So, DOS really may be "ain't dead".

As such, if anyone else has nothing better to do,
let's standardize 16-bit segmentation computing.

It doesn't necessarily need to be 8086.

And it's probably possible for the same source
base to be used for future 32-bit programming.

I have made an opening offer/POC already, but it is
not set in stone.

BFN. Paul.
