Although the messages were triggered by syscalls as they would be on other kernels, under Mach that was pretty much all the kernel did — handling the actual request would be up to some other program.

Although in theory the Mach kernel would also have to be reentrant, in practice this isn't an issue because its response times are so fast it can simply wait and serve requests in turn.

Although early developers and users of distributions built on top of the Linux kernel could take advantage of cheap optical disks and rapidly declining prices of CD drives for personal computers, the Linux distribution CDs or " distros " were generally treated as a collection of installation packages that must first be permanently installed to hard disks on the target machine.

Although Junos was originally derived from FreeBSD, subsequent product development resulted in major kernel and infrastructure improvements ( like In-Service Software Upgrade and real-time packet forwarding plane ).

Although the GPL's " viral " powers didn't apply to the Linux kernel, Torvald's willingness to borrow GCC for the purposes of his own free software operating system indicated a certain obligation to let other users borrow back.

Although the chief enhancement has been the addition of the Windows 95 shell, there are several major performance, scalability and feature improvements to the core architecture, kernel, USER32, COM and MSRPC.

Although the SBCs did not share address space, the UNIX kernel was distributed across all SBCs in a single virtual image.

Although it was not exactly a micro-kernel as they are today, it was a definitely not a " monolithic kernel "; it was a major step down the road to micro-kernels ( Altinsel ).

Although CEMM was called an " expanded memory manager ", it was really a tiny, protected mode, single tasking operating system kernel, also called a virtual machine monitor ( VMM ).

Although the nucleus is equivalent to only one portion of the Mach kernel, the kernels of each OS are analogous enough to be considered to perform the same function.

Although it is not technically part of the kernel, and MorphOS can be run without it, Trance is considered a fundamental part of MorphOS and one of its most powerful features.

Although there were plans to upgrade the cooperative multitasking Mac OS to a preemptive model ( and a preemptive API did exist in Mac OS 9, although in a very limited sense and rarely exploited ), these were abandoned in favor of Mac OS X, a hybrid of MacOS and the NextStep operating system, which is based on the Mach kernel and provides Unix-like preemptive multitasking.

Although a somewhat technical subject, it has important political implications as the above discussion of the voting system indicated.

Although progress has been made in America's system of libraries it still falls short of what is required if we are to maintain the standards that are needed for an informed America.

* Conservation of Energy: Although energy can be converted from one form to another, the total energy in a given closed system remains constant.

Although there are many ethical tenets in Buddhism that differ depending on whether one is a monk or a layman, and depending on individual schools, the Buddhist system of ethics can be summed up in the eightfold path:

Although not normally thought of as biotechnology, agriculture clearly fits the broad definition of " using a biotechnological system to make products " such that the cultivation of plants may be viewed as the earliest biotechnological enterprise.

Although the candela is now defined in terms of the second ( an SI base unit ) and the watt ( a derived SI unit ), the candela remains a base unit of the SI system, by definition.

Although the system established by the Sitges agreement was phased out by 1974, the 1886 Colombian constitution — in effect until 1991 — required that the losing political party be given adequate and equitable participation in the government which, according to many observers and later analysis, eventually resulted in some increase in corruption and legal relaxation.

Although the way programs manipulate files varies according to the operating system and file system involved, the following operations are typical:

Although the methylation system accounts for the wide range of sensitivity that bacteria have to chemical gradients, other mechanisms are involved in increasing the absolute value of the sensitivity on a given background.

Although Cutter numbers are mostly used for coding the names of authors, the system can be used for titles, subjects, geographic areas, and more.

Although some of the new movements aspired to replace the Soviet system altogether with a liberal democratic one, others demanded independence for the national republics.

Although effective while he ruled, Diocletian's Tetrarchic system collapsed after his abdication under the competing dynastic claims of Maxentius and Constantine, sons of Maximian and Constantius respectively.

Although the very act of codification was a radical innovation, given the precedent-based design of the Roman legal system, the jurists were generally conservative, and constantly looked to past Roman practice and theory for guidance.

Although neither machine has a built-in disk operating system ( cassette tapes being the default data-storage mechanism in the home computer market at the time ), DragonDOS was supplied as part of the disk controller interface from Dragon Data Ltd.

Although Premier offered the Delta system to be marketed by Dragon themselves, Dragon were not happy that a third party were hijacking the standards for their computer, and produced their own rival DragonDOS system making it clear that the third party Delta was not compatible with the ' standard ' Dragon Disk system.

Although this was far from the principal driver for the Dragon's demise, it was nevertheless a factor, and had Dragon adopted the established Delta system, the machine may well have had a greater following and a longer life.

Although a fashioner, the demiurge is not necessarily thought of as being the same as the creator figure in the familiar monotheistic sense, because both the demiurge itself plus the material from which the demiurge fashions the universe are considered either uncreated and eternal, or the product of some other being, depending on the system.

Although every organ system secretes and responds to hormones ( including the brain, lungs, heart, intestine, skin, and the kidney ), the clinical specialty of endocrinology focuses primarily on the endocrine organs, meaning the organs whose primary function is hormone secretion.

Although many of the results in Elements originated with earlier mathematicians, one of Euclid's accomplishments was to present them in a single, logically coherent framework, making it easy to use and easy to reference, including a system of rigorous mathematical proofs that remains the basis of mathematics 23 centuries later.

Although Adams was finally found innocent after years of being processed by the legal system, the judge in the habeas corpus hearing officially stated that, " much could be said about those videotape interviews, but nothing that would have any bearing on the matter before this court.

Although Equatorial Guinea lacks a well-established democratic tradition comparable to the developed democracies of the West, it has progressed toward developing a participatory political system out of the anarchic, chaotic, and repressive conditions of the Macias years.

Although many of Euclid's results had been stated by earlier mathematicians, Euclid was the first to show how these propositions could fit into a comprehensive deductive and logical system.
