       sometimes people ask me: “Wanda, why do catgirls bite people”?I’d like to present two screenshots. the first one is Virtex-4 documentation. I hoped it was a typo. no, the document makes it pretty clear in several other places that they did, in fact, actually do that.then I looked at the Virtex-5 documentation. it took me several minutes of staring at it to figure out just what the fuck is going on. they have, somehow, managed to make it even worse.

       it has been brought to my attention that some people, in fact, get off on catgirl bites. for the sake of all of us, I would like to remind everyone that you can just politely ask a catgirl to bite you, you don’t need to make batshit hardware.

       (spoilers if you don’t want to waste your life figuring out what is going on in the second screenshot: the words are transmitted most significant byte/word first; bit numbering within the word is as if you took LSB-first numbering and XORd bit number with 7. yes they literally bit-swapped the bytes.)
