Almost universally, home computers of the 1980s had a ROM-resident BASIC interpreter, allowing the machines to boot directly into BASIC which therefore constituted a significant and visible part of the user interface of many home computers ' rudimentary operating systems.

Until about 2000, users of Unix desktops regarded CDE as the de facto standard, but at that time, other desktop environments such as GNOME and K Desktop Environment 2 were quickly becoming mature, and became almost universal on the Linux platform, which already had a larger user base than most commercial Unixes in total.

If a user added more than one drive to a system the user had to open the case and cut a trace in the circuit board to permanently change the drive's number, or hand-wire an external switch to allow it to be changed externally.

Even though each 1541 had its own on board disk controller and disk operating system, it was not possible for a user to command two 1541 drives to copy a disk ( one drive reading and the other writing ) as with older dual drives like the 4040 and 8050 that were often found with the PET computer, and which the 1541 was backward compatible to ( it could read 4040 disks but not write to them since its internal Operating System was essentially the same ).

She had maintained throughout the show's run that she was never diagnosed with either anorexia or bulimia, nor was she a user of illegal drugs.

DARPA has been responsible for funding the development of many technologies which have had a major effect on the world, including computer networking, as well as NLS, which was both the first hypertext system, and an important precursor to the contemporary ubiquitous graphical user interface.

If the user wanted to keep his progress then the cartridge used had to have the same type of non-volatile memory hardware.

If it printed something then the tape and the printout were returned to the user, otherwise they were informed at which memory location it had stopped.

In 1983, Microsoft announced the development of Windows, a graphical user interface ( GUI ) for its own operating system ( MS-DOS ), which had shipped for IBM PC and compatible computers since 1981.

As part of the related business negotiations, Microsoft had licensed certain aspects of the Macintosh user interface from Apple ; in later litigation, a district court summarized these aspects as " screen displays ".

Most versions had a user interface based on the original TOPS-20 Kermit.

When introduced in the early 1990s, it had a number of unique features, such as “ sync slip ”, synchronized varispeed playback with audio scrubbing, synchronized multi-channel playback, and an object-oriented user interface with a dedicated hardware console.

Instead, the user agent emulates the behavior for some HTTP headers as if they had been sent in the response header itself.

Bundling them together is alleged to have been responsible for Microsoft's victory in the browser wars as every Windows user had a copy of Internet Explorer.

If there was not a market for natural gas near the wellhead it was virtually valueless since it had to be piped to the end user.

It had a similar user interface to Windows 2. 1.

Later, IBM developed versions of OS / 2 that would use whatever Windows version the user had installed previously, patching it on the fly, and sparing the cost of an additional Windows license.

There were also strong user communities such as DECUS through which users could share software that they had developed.

It had a LOGIN command that requested a user password.

Clemens faced steroid scrutiny when it was reported that pitcher Jason Grimsley had named him, as well as Andy Pettitte, as a user of performance enhancing drugs.

By the 1940s, the spellings " hoagie " and, to a lesser extent, " hoagy " had come to dominate lesser user variations like " hoogie " and " hoggie ".

Towards the end of 1995, the SSH user base had grown to 20, 000 users in fifty countries.

The earliest dynamic telephones also had only one port opening for sound, with the user alternately listening and speaking ( or rather, shouting ) into the same hole.

Later versions of talk blocked flash attempts and alerted the user that one had taken place.

As a crude example, each finger might control one key which corresponds to one bit in a byte, so that using seven keys and seven fingers, one could enter any character in the ASCII set — if the user could remember the binary codes.

However, asking users to remember a password consisting of a " mix of uppercase and lowercase characters " is similar to asking them to remember a sequence of bits: hard to remember, and only a little bit harder to crack ( e. g. only 128 times harder to crack for 7-letter passwords, less if the user simply capitalises one of the letters ).

Here the user of the slide rule must remember to adjust the decimal point appropriately to correct the final answer.

Such add-on software was inconvenient to use, because it required the user to remember to run the enhancement program before each printer session ( to activate the enhancement mode ).

Hypertext systems support the decision process by relieving the user of the significant effort it takes to relate and remember things.

In addition, the user interface was cumbersome, requiring the users to remember non-intuitive multi-digit Touch-tone commands.

With the name service type of directory, a user doesn't have to remember the physical address of a network resource ; providing a name will locate the resource.

The user should not have to remember information from one part of the dialogue to another.

When unblocking a user, remember to check for and clear any active autoblocks as well.

However, asking users to remember a password consisting of a “ mix of uppercase and lowercase characters ” is similar to asking them to remember a sequence of bits: hard to remember, and only a little bit harder to crack ( e. g. only 128 times harder to crack for 7-letter passwords, less if the user simply capitalises one of the letters ).

The HP-41C is keystroke programmable, meaning that it can remember and later execute sequences of keystrokes to solve particular problems of interest to the user.

The PCW's keyboard offered clearly labelled, one-press special keys for many common LocoScript functions, including cut, copy, and paste, while LocoScript's competitors required a wide range of key combinations that the user had to remember.

However, there is no user program memory available, so a musician would have to remember settings.

The HP-42S is keystroke-programmable, meaning that it can remember and later execute sequences of keystrokes to solve particular problems of interest to the user.

Mungeing helps to create a strong password that the user can remember easily.

Krause significantly broadened conventional notions of the graphical user interface by applying innovative design principles and providing realtime interaction for the user, neither of which were widely deployed in the 1980s because of the low graphics abilities of the current hardware, and most users found them too oblique to learn and remember.

However if the password must be repeatedly changed, mnemonics are useless because the user would not remember which mnemonic to use.

The rune poems have been theorized as having been mnemonic devices that allowed the user to remember the order and names of each letter of the alphabet and may have been a catalog of important cultural information, memorably arranged ; comparable with the Old English sayings, Gnomic poetry, and Old Norse poetry of wisdom and learning.

A Diceware word list is any list of unique words, preferably ones the user will find easy to spell and to remember.
