nuclear war (Miscellaneous)

posted by kerravon E-mail, 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.
