Automated Terminal Information System. Either a looped recording or a voice synthesis system which plays a looping audio stream over a radio frequency for the purpose of giving weather and other operational information to Pilots. Information can include runways in use, wind direction and speed, cloud level, and any other important information a pilot needs to know. Can also refer to the information given itself.

A Canadian computer hardware company, ATI Technologies (spelt ATi) is well known for their Radeon line of graphics chips. Their greatest rival is nVIDIA, and the two companies are forever in a war to outdo each other. As a result, there's an almost equal split between ATi and nVIDIA graphics card owners, who are also in a perpetual state of slagging each other off. (see fanboy)
fanATIc: GET THE RADEON!! NV SUCKZZZZ!!11!
nVIDIOT: GET THE GEFORCE! ATI SUCKZZ!!1!1
Normal person: I'll get the one that's the best performance / value.
