Computer displays and televisions with CRTs driven by digital electronics often use refresh rates of 100 Hz or more to largely eliminate any perception of flicker – see flicker-free.

* Computer monitor, a screen that displays output from a computer.

Computer displays are made up from grids of small rectangular cells called pixels ; the term comes from " picture elements ".

Computer displays in general are unable to show the true chroma of many pigments, but the hue and lightness can be reproduced with relative accuracy.

Computer CRT displays usually operate at a vertical scan rate well over 60 Hz ( modern ones are around 100 Hz ), and can thus be considered flicker-free.

Computer technology allowed the development of the Prime Radiant, which permits not only observation of mathematics, associated papers, and related data in multi-dimensional dynamic displays, but also permits inclusion of changes, improvements, and modifications of the Plan.

Computer displays including projectors generally do not overscan although many models ( particularly CRT displays ) allow it.

In 1999, The Computer Museum in Boston closed and became part of the Museum of Science, integrating some of its displays, although the collection moved to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.

One, The Computing Revolution, relates the history of computing through a variety of hands-on interactive exhibits, while the other, Cahners Computer Place, houses displays ranging from educational video games to an interactive AIBO ERS-7.

DB13W3 ( 13W3 ) is a particular style of D-subminiature connector commonly used as an analog video interface connector that was used primarily on Sun Microsystems, Silicon Graphics and IBM RISC workstations, as well as some displays from Apple Computer, NeXT Computer and Intergraph Corporation.

Joseph Weizenbaum's influential 1976 book Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment To Calculation ( San Francisco: W. H. Freeman, 1976 ; ISBN 0-7167-0463-3 ) displays his ambivalence towards computer technology and lays out his case: while artificial intelligence may be possible, we should never allow computers to make important decisions because computers will always lack human qualities such as compassion and wisdom.

So they decided to designed a TRS-80 and CP / M software compatible computer system, which ( following the lead of Apple Computer ) they decided to name after a " typical Dutch flower ".

ACM's primary historical competitor has been the IEEE Computer Society, which is the largest subgroup of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

He later collected a number of these into book form, " 101 BASIC Computer Games ", which was first published in 1973.

In the late 1960s the D2000, D4000 range was produced ( also known as the TC500 — Terminal Computer 500 ) which had a golf ball printer and a 1K ( 80 bit ) disk memory.

Computer software is so called to distinguish it from computer hardware, which encompasses the physical interconnections and devices required to store and execute ( or run ) the software.

Computer vision covers the core technology of automated image analysis which is used in many fields.

Computer files can be considered as the modern counterpart of paper documents which traditionally are kept in offices ' and libraries ' files, and this is the source of the term.

The Casio Computer Company, in Japan, released the Model 14-A calculator in 1957, which was the world's first all-electric ( relatively ) " compact " calculator.

On one hand, Compaq struggled to compete in the PC market with the Dell Computer Corporation, which sold directly to buyers, avoiding the dealer channel and its markup, and built each machine to order to keep inventories and costs at a minimum.

In 2001 he was awarded a British Computer Society's Lovelace Medal, and in 2005 he was made a Fellow of the Computer History Museum and honored with the Norbert Wiener Award, which is given annually by Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility.

He had initially accepted a commission to write a book on compilers which would later become the multi-volume The Art of Computer Programming.

Knuth gives informal lectures a few times a year at Stanford University, which he called Computer Musings.

In recognition of Knuth's contributions to the field of computer science, in 1990 he was awarded the one-of-a-kind academic title of Professor of The Art of Computer Programming, which has since been revised to Professor Emeritus of The Art of Computer Programming.

In addition to funding the construction of the output mechanism for the Science Museum's Difference Engine No. 2, Nathan Myhrvold commissioned the construction of a second complete Difference Engine No. 2, which is currently on exhibit at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.

He was initially appointed to the Indiana University's Computer Science Department faculty in 1977, and at that time he launched his research program in computer modeling of mental processes ( which at that time he called " artificial intelligence research ", a label that he has since dropped in favor of " cognitive science research ").

They also remixed a song by Datarock, " Computer Camp ", which can be heard on the band's MySpace page.

It was originally written for Seattle Computer Products's 86-DOS ( QDOS ), which Microsoft acquired and sold as MS-DOS.

In the 1976 article " Computer Power and Human Reason ," an excerpt of which is included in The New Media Reader edited by Noah Wardrip-Fruin and Nick Montfort, Weizenbaum notes how quickly and deeply people became emotionally involved with the computer program, taking offence when he asked to view the transcripts, saying it was an invasion of their privacy, even asking him to leave the room while they were working with the DOCTOR script.

Lay responses to ELIZA were disturbing to Weizenbaum and motivated him to write his book Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation, in which he explains the limits of computers, as he wants to make clear in people's minds his opinion that the anthropomorphic views of computers are just a reduction of the human being and any life form for that matter.

Computer modems are often designated by a particular fax class, which indicates how much processing is offloaded from the computer's CPU to the fax modem.

Other analog computers included the Heathkit EC-1, and the hydraulic MONIAC Computer which modeled econometric flows.

In 1982, he co-founded Alliant Computer Systems, holding a variety of positions there before becoming CEO.

His previous positions include being vice president of Konami Computer Entertainment Japan.

They created a steering committee of positions including the quaintly termed " Computer Operator " and recruited interested students from schools all over the nation to help run the organization.

From 1959 until he moved to the U. S. in 1967, Good held government-funded positions and from 1964 a senior research fellowship at Trinity College, Oxford, and the Atlas Computer Laboratory, where he continued his interests in computing, statistics and chess.

He later held executive positions at Velocity Incorporated, Xatrix Entertainment, and Dell Computer.

In 1980, Tesler moved to Apple Computer, where he held various positions, including Vice President of AppleNet, Vice President of the Advanced Technology Group, and Chief Scientist.

* In his 1999 essay " The Future is Already Here ," science fiction author Robert J. Sawyer writes, " In the original Star Trek, we saw women and black people in important positions ... the ship's computers, as seen in " The Ultimate Computer ," were designed by a Nobel Prize-winning black cyberneticist, played with equal dignity by William Marshall.

His work in the technology sector included management positions at Data General and Apollo Computer before joining Sun Microsystems in 1987 where he was later promoted to Chief Operating Officer and President.

Moses served in several administrative positions at MIT between 1974 and 1998, including Provost, Dean of Engineering, Head of the EECS department, Associate Head of the EECS department, and Associate Director of the Laboratory for Computer Science.

Computer assisted games are mostly not designed toward recreating the battlefield inside computer memory, but employing the computer to play the role of game master by storing game rules and unit ( wargames ) or role ( role playing games ) characteristics, tracking unit or character status and positions or distances, animating the game with sounds and voice and resolving combat ( shooting and close combat ).
