At MIT, Olsen and Anderson noticed something odd: students would line up for hours to get a turn to use the stripped-down TX-0, while largely ignoring a faster IBM machine that was also available.

At first, the danger to a battle fleet was considered only to exist when at anchor, but as faster and longer range torpedoes were developed, the threat extended to cruising at sea.

At first sight, this appears to be a reasonable assumption to make, as it seems to be a consequence of special relativity, which states that information can never be transmitted faster than the speed of light without violating causality.

At the 2007 meeting of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, a former advocate of endoscopic carpal tunnel release, Thomas J. Fischer, MD, retracted his advocacy of the technique, based on his own personal assessment that the benefit of the procedure ( slightly faster recovery ) did not outweigh the risk of injury to the median nerve.

At 10 Mbit / s, Ethernet was faster than most alternatives of the time ; however, Ethernet was a broadcast network and there was no good way of connecting multiple Ethernet networks together.

At the present rate of change, Danbury will lose approximately of elevation per 100 years, which is a rate 42 times faster than similarly situated areas.

At the 1 minute mark it starts to blink, and then turns red and blinks faster at the two minute mark.

At the same time, " compression-type " sound will travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases, because the solids are more difficult to compress than liquids, while liquids in turn are more difficult to compress than gases.

At the very least, reusable engines make developing game sequels faster and easier, which is a valuable advantage in the competitive video game industry.

At solar maximum, the Sun's magnetic field lines are the most distorted due to the magnetic field on the solar equator rotating at a slightly faster pace than at the solar poles.

At Barcelona during the last pre-season test, both Barrichello and Button surprised the paddock with very quick lap times, which were more than two seconds faster than anyone had been on day four.

At the windward end of a ridge, the base erodes faster than above, producing a recognizable shape of anvil tip pointing upwind.

At a spallation source, the time of flight technique is used to sort the energies of the incident neutrons ( higher energy neutrons are faster ), so no monochromator is needed, but rather a series of aperture elements synchronized to filter neutron pulses with the desired wavelength.

At the beginning of 1837, he sold his Alabama plantation and with his wife moved to New Orleans, both to receive faster news from Texas and to supervise the agent who was conducting mercantile activities on his behalf.

At the same time, this means a faster learning curve ; as while a skateboarder will have to spend weeks learning the most basic manoeuvres, such as the Ollie, or jump, a Streetboarder ( Snakeboarder ) simply has to strap himself to the board, and jump as he would without the board attached.

At first, Fortunato, who sobers up faster than Montresor anticipated he would, shakes the chains, trying to escape.

At one point the caravan leader wanted the caravan to go by horse to cross a bandit-ridden area faster.

At the same time the British also developed faster but lightly armoured Cruiser tanks to range behind the enemy lines.

Using the accessibility relation we can translate this scenario as follows: At all of the worlds accessible to our own world, it is not the case that humans can travel faster than the speed of light, but at one of these accessible worlds there is another world accessible from those worlds but not accessible from our own at which humans can travel faster than the speed of light.

At these lower speeds, ATM provides a useful ability to carry multiple logical circuits on a single physical or virtual medium, although other techniques exist, such as Multi-link PPP and Ethernet VLANs, which are optional in VDSL implementations.

At low speeds, the compressibility of air is not significant in relation to aircraft design, but as the airflow nears and exceeds the speed of sound, a host of new aerodynamic effects become important in the design of aircraft.

At high speeds the ailerons could apply more torque than the Spitfire's thin wings could handle, and the entire wing would twist in the opposite direction.

At higher speeds the pilot simply couldn't move the controls because there was too much airflow over the control surfaces.

At some speeds the airflow over the control surfaces will become turbulent, and the controls will start to flutter.

At lower speeds this air has time to " get out of the way ", guided by the air in front of it that is in contact with the aircraft.

At low pressure, there was enough space between the gas atoms that the ions could accelerate to high enough speeds that when they struck another atom they knocked electrons off of it, creating more positive ions and free electrons in a chain reaction.

At higher speeds, the drag off toed-in rail fins can cause surfboards to oscillate and become unstable-a phenomenon known as " speed wobbles

At release, a javelin can reach speeds approaching 113 km / h ( 70 mph ).

At slow speeds, a diesel-electric prime mover can potentially produce more power than can be usefully used by its own traction motors ; a slug increases the number of traction motors available to use the power more effectively.

At higher speeds, such as in ballistics, the shape is highly distorted and does not resemble a parabola.

At the end of the motor shaft there was a stepped driving capstan ; to obtain different speeds, the rubber idler wheel was moved to contact different steps of this capstan.

At high speeds ( FF / REW ), the VITC is often unreadable due to image distortions, so the LTC is often used instead.

At high-subsonic flight speeds, supersonic airflow can develop in areas where the flow accelerates around the aircraft body and wings.

At speeds higher than 9600 baud, owners discovered that the serial ports of the computers were not able to handle a continuous flow of data without losing characters.

At high speeds, the plasma wind's direction will seem to come increasingly from the front of the spacecraft.

At low speeds:

At distances of ~ 94 AU from the Sun, the solar wind undergoes a transition, called the termination shock, from supersonic to subsonic speeds.

At speeds comparable to the speed of light, the second law holds in the original form F = dp / dt, where F and p are four-vectors.

At the end of the 1960s, Vee Beetle engine output on a single carburetor would reach up to 70 BHP ; top speeds would gradually rise to nearly.

At ARCNET's lower speeds (), Cat-3 cable is good enough to run ARCNET.

At the site of the turbines, a solar-powered kiosk provides information for visitors, including current information on wind speeds and the amount of energy being produced by the turbines.

At the end of 1960s, the nuclear threat became unstoppable with the addition of various ballistic missiles which could not be intercepted approaching from outside of atmosphere with speeds as high as 5 – 7 km / s.

At the slowest speeds the dance tends to exhibit a highly elastic connection with the possibility of very sexy, " slinky " walks for the lady, and a slight backward leaning poise at the full extent of the connection.
