Data was represented as 50-bit binary fixed point numbers.

As a result of its free availability, knowledge of BASIC became relatively widespread ( for a computer language ) and BASIC was implemented by a number of manufacturers, becoming fairly popular on newer minicomputers like the DEC PDP series and the Data General Nova.

Burroughs was one of the eight major United States computer companies ( with IBM, the largest, Honeywell, NCR Corporation, Control Data Corporation, General Electric, RCA and UNIVAC ) through most of the 1960s.

And the modularity of these large systems was also unique: multiple CPUs, multiple memory modules and multiple I / O and Data Comm processors permitted incremental and cost effective growth of system performance and reliability.

Until that time, software was bundled with the hardware by Original equipment manufacturers ( OEMs ) such as Data General, Digital Equipment and IBM.

Data General refused to license their software ( which was hard to do, since it was on the books as a free asset ), and claimed their " bundling rights ".

The Supreme Court let a 9th circuit decision stand, and Data General was eventually forced into licensing the Operating System software because it was ruled that restricting the license to only DG hardware was an illegal tying arrangement.

When the Data Encryption Standard cipher was released in 1977, a key length of 56 bits was thought to be sufficient.

Cellular Digital Packet Data ( CDPD ) was a wide-area mobile data service which used unused bandwidth normally used by AMPS mobile phones between 800 and 900 MHz to transfer data.

The Committee on Data for Science and Technology ( CODATA ) was established in 1966 as an interdisciplinary committee of the International Council for Science.

In keeping with Doriot's instructions, the name was an initialism for " Programmable Data Processor ", leaving off the term " computer ".

It was the first platform specifically designed for building Information Centers ( a forerunner of contemporary Enterprise Data Warehousing platforms )

As a result of these limitations, the Dragon was not a commercial success, and Dragon Data collapsed in June 1984.

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.

The Data General Nova was a popular 16-bit minicomputer built by the American company Data General starting in 1969.

It was succeeded by the Data General Eclipse, which was similar in most ways but added virtual memory support and other features required by modern operating systems.

Ken Olsen was not supportive of this project, so de Castro left DEC along with another hardware engineer, Richard Sogge, and a software engineer, Henry Burkhardt III, to found Data General ( DG ) in 1968.

Originally, electronic commerce was identified as the facilitation of commercial transactions electronically, using technology such as Electronic Data Interchange ( EDI ) and Electronic Funds Transfer ( EFT ).

It was formed by the combination of HP's legacy services consulting and outsourcing business and the integration of acquired Electronic Data Systems, which had defined the outsourcing business when it was established in 1962 by H. Ross Perot.

Data marts for specific reports can then be built on top of the DW solution.

Data can be compressed, sent and then decompressed at the site of consumption.

This was expanded over time to include data communications, first by circuit switched transport, then packet data transport via GPRS ( General Packet Radio Services ) and EDGE ( Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution or EGPRS ).

The ODMG member companies then decided to concentrate their efforts on the Java Data Objects specification.

QED was also used as a character-oriented editor on the Norwegian-made Norsk Data systems, first Nord TSS then SINTRAN III.

The document says no, but quotes his son and then IBM President Thomas J. Watson, Jr., at the annual IBM stockholders meeting, April 28, 1953, as speaking about the IBM 701 Electronic Data Processing Machine, which it identifies as " the company's first production computer designed for scientific calculations ".

* Data buffers that are accessed directly by peripheral devices that use direct memory access or I / O channels must reside in pinned pages while the I / O operation is in progress because such devices and the buses to which they are attached expect to find data buffers located at physical memory addresses ; regardless of whether the bus has a memory management unit for I / O, transfers cannot be stopped if a page fault occurs and then restarted when the page fault has been processed.

Data went to Starfleet Academy from 2341 – 45 ( he describes himself as " Class of ' 78 " to Riker in " Encounter at Farpoint ", but that may refer to the stardate and not the year that he graduated ) and then served in Starfleet aboard the USS Trieste.

A better example is in the episode Disaster, where Data intentionally damages his body to break a high-current electrical arc, and then Riker taking his head to engineering to solve an engine problem.

Data was then able to feel pain when a Borg drone slashed at his arm, and pleasure when the Borg Queen blew on the skin's hair follicles.

Data is then compiled and formatted in such a way that a control room operator using the HMI can make supervisory decisions to adjust or override normal RTU ( PLC ) controls.

The CLR then loads the CLR Header and Data sections.

The work at Data General in 1980 used these same devices to design a then modern system, the Data General Eclipse MV / 8000, and commercial need began to grow for a language that could map to well to them.

The first of these new executives was Robert Tillson, who left Service Bureau Corporation ( then a subsidiary of Control Data, but originally formed as a division of IBM ) to become CompuServe's Executive Vice President of Marketing.

It would then be important to consider the US Census Income Data showing relatively high percentage of reporting residents living below the poverty line ( 29. 4 %).

Data then could be read or written serially using the appropriate two pins of the 20 pin data cable.

" Data regarding the differing densities of woods used were then used to create a reproduction instrument.

While attending the meeting with an early draft of what was then still MS Data Access, Kyle Geiger of Microsoft invited Jeff Balboni and Larry Barnes of Digital Equipment Corporation ( DEC ) to join the SQLC meetings as well.

Data from these launches showed that the temperature lowered with height up to a certain altitude, which varied with the season, and then stabilized above this altitude.

Data received at each antenna in the array is paired with timing information, usually from a local atomic clock, and then stored for later analysis on magnetic tape or hard disk.

The CU then generates appropriate control signals to direct single processing element ( PE ) to operate on single Data Stream ( DS ) i. e. one operation at a time

( See also: Data dependency ) If we assume that each operation can be completed in one unit of time then these three instructions can be completed in a total of two units of time, giving an ILP of 3 / 2.

A component called Data File Utility could then be used to generate on-screen displays for creating and edit files and print reports.
