* " Atlas " was the former name for ASP. NET AJAX, Microsoft software, a set of ASP. NET extensions providing Ajax functionality

It was designed to avoid some of the perceived problems with FORTRAN for backward compatibility with historic Buran ( spacecraft ) ALGOL software.

Although early Commodore advertisements attempted to cast the computer as an all-purpose business machine, the Amiga was most commercially successful as a home computer, with a wide range of games and creative software.

The 68000 has a 16-bit external data bus so must transfer 32 bits of data in two consecutive steps, a technique called multiplexing: all this is transparent to the software, which was 32-bit from the beginning.

Although the hardware is limited to four separate sound channels, software such as OctaMED uses software mixing to allow eight or more virtual channels, and it was possible for software to mix two hardware channels to achieve a single 14-bit resolution channel by playing with the volumes of the channels in such a way that one of the source channels contributes the most significant bits and the other the least.

A retargetable sound API called AHI was developed allowing these cards to be used transparently by the OS and software.

Whilst it may not have been as popular as the Spectrum, Commodore 64 or Amstrad CPC, it did sell in sufficient numbers to ensure that new software was being produced right up until the early 1990s.

This was quickly remedied by First Byte Computers who developed an interface and software which allowed a " switched " joystick to be used with the majority of software titles.

The most basic solution was a pure software system supplied on a ROM cartridge that drew a low resolution approximation of the mode 7 display in a graphics mode.

The first used the same graphics processor as the BBC Micro in mode 7 — the SAA5050 — but used software to ensure that it was fed with the correct graphics data.

A software ROM was still supplied, but this did no more than expand the hardware ROM so that it knew mode 7 now existed and was able to switch into it.

Tridgell was a major developer of the Samba software, analysing the Server Message Block protocol used for workgroup and network file sharing by Microsoft Windows products.

* The program was stored as a linked list of lines ; a or took O ( n ) ( linear ) time, and although Applesoft programs were not very long compared to today's software, on a 1 MHz 6502 this could be a significant bottleneck.

AIX was the first operating system to utilize journaling file systems, and IBM has continuously enhanced the software with features like processor, disk and network virtualization, dynamic hardware resource allocation ( including fractional processor units ), and reliability engineering ported from its mainframe designs.

One of the more popular desktop applications was the PageMaker desktop publishing software.

Although the Aster was a clone of the TRS-80 model I it was in fact more compatible with the TRS-80 model III, and ran all the software of these systems including games.

It also had a built in speaker which was compatible with such games software.

A third mode was entered with a special boot floppy which turned the Aster into a Videotex terminal with a 40x25 display and a Videotex character set, The software used the built in RS232 interface of the Aster to control a modem through which it could contact a Prestel service provider.

Another important demand was that the computers could be used in a network ( Aster developed special software and hardware for that ).

Later however the Government turned around and gave 50 % of the order to Philips and their P2000 homecomputer even though the P2000 did not meet all the technical demands, was made in Austria and did not have network hard nor software.

On the other hand, free software and proprietary software are opposite traits, and an application can be one or the other but never both, contingent upon the availability of the source code under certain minimum freedoms.

The software license agreement for The Movies stipulates that Activision, the game's publisher, owns " any and all content within ... Game Movies that was either supplied with the Program or otherwise made available ... by Activision or its licensors ..." Some game companies provide software to modify their own games, and machinima makers often cite fair use as a defense, but the issue has never been tested in court.

This expectation was, in reality, never quite met: Motorola's only released example of a ROM'd software module was the MC6839 floating-point ROM.

NuNupedia was implemented for testing at SourceForge, but never reached sufficient development to replace the original software.

Officially, the CLIÉ line did not support the Mac OS, and Sony never provided any software with the handhelds for Mac OS.

Testing can never completely identify all the defects within software.

Bravo was never released commercially, but the software eventually included in the Xerox Star can be seen as a direct descendant of it.

While the Tandy DAC's features compared favorably to those offered by Creative's 8-bit Sound Blaster audio cards, it never saw widespread adoption by software developers.

VWLC and EWLC are also available for most IBM software products running on z / OS, and their peaks are separately calculated but can never exceed the z / OS peak.

# When writing gateway software of any kind, take pains to disturb the data stream as little as possible — and never throw away information unless the recipient forces you to!

Despite persistent rumors to the contrary, however, Mosaic was never released as open source software during its brief reign as a major browser ; there were always constraints on permissible uses without payment.

The software running on the receivers was never changed though, and always displayed ' ON ' on nearly every screen.

A plan to change the onscreen software was planned along with a change to a stronger encryption system in Autumn 2002 however this of course never arose due to liquidation.

Many package management systems can be configured to never upgrade certain packages, or to upgrade them only when critical vulnerabilities or instabilities are found in the previous version, as defined by the packager of the software.

Despite her beliefs being discouraged by her mother, she never doubts that the entity she communicates with via the primer is her real father, not merely a software facsimile.

Eric Raymond extends this principle in support of open source security software, saying, " Any security software design that doesn't assume the enemy possesses the source code is already untrustworthy ; therefore, never trust closed source.

However, recourse ( legal or otherwise ) has almost never been available against operators, software developers, operating system suppliers, especially in cases of loss of anonymity and / or consequent damages, regardless of operating policies )

Vaporware is a term in the computer industry that describes a product, typically computer hardware or software, that is announced to the general public but is never actually released nor officially cancelled.

The software engineer and writer Joel Spolsky has criticised these efforts by claiming that all abstractions are leaky — that they can never completely hide the details below ; however this does not negate the usefulness of abstraction.

Although this system was never released, Commodore's negotiations with AT & T over the proper way to bundle their VCOS / VCAS operating system software in a personal computer environment helped Apple Computer deliver their AV-series Macintosh systems, two years later.

It leaves a gap in the series for Macintosh users since it was never officially released for that platform ( although the free ScummVM software can be used to play The Curse of Monkey Island on a Mac ).

Non-software type files can usually be backed up with file-based backup software, and this is preferred because file-based backup usually saves more time or space because they never copy unused space ( as a bit-identical image does ), they usually are capable of incremental backups, and generally have more flexibility.
