For example, the IBM 701 ( 1952 ) used binary and could address 2048 36-bit words, while the IBM 702 ( 1953 ) used decimal and could address 7-bit words.

For a time, memory capacities were often expressed in K, even when M could have been used: The IBM System / 370 Model 158 brochure ( 1972 ) had the following: " Real storage capacity is available in 512K increments ranging from 512K to 2, 048K bytes.

For example, the internal clock frequency of the original IBM PC was 4. 77 MHz, that is, Hz.

For example, an IBM PC might have either a monochrome or a color display adapter ( using different display memory addresses and hardware ), but a single, standard, BIOS system call may be invoked to display a character at a specified position on the screen in text mode.

For example, the IBM System / 370 used a CPU that was primarily 32 bit, but it used 128-bit precision inside its floating point units to facilitate greater accuracy and range in floating point numbers.

For example, the IBM 350 disk drives were called " disk files ".

For general desktop computer use it has been supplanted by later buses such as IBM Micro Channel, VESA Local Bus, Peripheral Component Interconnect and other successors.

For example, IBM used it in their Technical Reference for the original PC.

For example, on the original IBM PC, a male D-sub was an RS-232-C DTE port ( with a non-standard current loop interface on reserved pins ), but the female D-sub connector was used for a parallel Centronics printer port.

For instance, IBM OS / 390, now z / OS, qualifies as a " Unix " despite having no code in common.

For example, IBM customers running Release 9 can upgrade directly to Release 11 ( or Release 10 ), and both releases can operate concurrently within the same Sysplex ( cluster ) and without conflict using the same datasets, configurations, security profiles, etc.

For traditional business programming languages such as RPG, COBOL, and C, the IBM System i provides an interface to the integrated database that allows these languages to treat database files much like other platforms treat ISAM or VSAM files.

For example, most Data General Nova, IBM 1130, and many Apple II computers had only 4 K words of RAM installed.

For comparison, current high-end IBM zEnterprise 196 systems can deliver over 52, 000 MIPS per machine, and they have considerable I / O performance advantages.

For two years at the Watson Research Center, the superscalar limits of the 801 design were explored, such as the feasibility of implementing the design using multiple functional units to improve performance, similar to what had been done in the IBM System / 360 Model 91 and the CDC 6600 ( although the Model 91 had been based on a CISC design ), to determine if a RISC machine could maintain multiple instructions per cycle, or what design changes need to be made to the 801 design to allow for multiple-execution-units.

For this reason, almost no workstations are built by the customer themselves but rather purchased from a vendor such as Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Sun Microsystems, SGI, Apple, or Dell.

For example, IBM built computers in the early 1960s with 8-bit characters, and an " upper half " of Latin I characters became common in many data networks that had formerly used 7-bit ASCII.

For example, the original IBM PC did not provide graphics or hard drive capability.

For example, the 9 pin DE-9 connector was used by most IBM-compatible PCs since the IBM PC AT, and has been standardized as TIA-574.

* For alphabetic characters the setting of bits was derived from the zone and digit punches of the IBM 80 column punched card character code: B, A from 12, B from 11, and A from 0 ; the setting of bits 8, 4, 2, 1 from BCD encoding of the 1 through 9 punches.

For example, the original IBM PC based on the Intel 8088 processor used many of these chips, and the prominence of IBM PC compatibles is why many of these chips are still in use today, although not as the chips themselves, but with their equivalent functionality embedded into larger VLSI chips, namely the " Southbridge " chips of modern PCs.

For this reason, Gardnerian Wicca is usually considered to be the earliest extant tradition of Wicca, from which most subsequent Wiccan traditions are derived.

* For Eric Leif Davin's Partners in Wonder: Women and the Birth of Science Fiction, 1926-1965, MacLean supplied him with a detailed description of her negotiations with John W. Campbell in regards to the publication of her earliest stories.

For example, during the earliest Sumerian period, the " en ", or high priest of male gods was originally a woman, that of female goddesses, a man.

For example, some of the earliest printing telegraph machines used a layout similar to a piano keyboard.

For example, the earliest surviving copies of parts of the Roman historian Tacitus ' main work, the Annals of Imperial Rome ( written in 116 AD ), come from a single manuscript written in 850 AD, although for other parts of his work, the earliest copies come from the 11th century, while other parts of his work have been lost.

For a long time, scholars believed him to be identical with the 12th-century canon lawyer and theologian Master Roland of Bologna, who composed the " Stroma " or " Summa Rolandi "— one of the earliest commentaries on the Decretum of Gratian — and the " Sententiae Rolandi ", a sentence collection displaying the influence of Pierre Abélard.

For example, in the 1930s, muzak was among the earliest popularly available streaming media ; nowadays Internet television is a common form of streamed media.

For this reason, tuatara are of great interest in the study of the evolution of lizards and snakes, and for the reconstruction of the appearance and habits of the earliest diapsids ( the group that also includes birds, dinosaurs, and crocodiles ).| isbn = 0-86868-098-2

For lacto vegetarianism, the earliest known type of vegetarianism ( recorded in India ), dairy products such as milk and cheese are permitted.

For example, the backbone is a common structure among all vertebrates such as fish, reptiles, and mammals, and the backbone also appears as one of the earliest structures laid out in all vertebrate embryos.

For example, some of the earliest evidence of millet cultivation in China was found at Cishan ( north ) and Hemudu ( south ).

For this reason, the earliest grammatical treatises on Arabic are often written by non-native speakers.

In the earliest known Christian document, the First Epistle to the Thessalonians, Paul seems to envisage that he and the Christians he was writing to would see the resurrection of the dead within their own lifetimes: " For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

For reasons not yet understood, documentary hieroglyphs rapidly disappeared in AD 820 at Naranjo ; which aligns with the earliest stela at Xunantunich, Stela 8.

For over 100 years, the Cornhuskers participated in what is now known as the Big 12 Conference, having been a member since the conference's earliest predecessor, the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association, later the Big 8 Conference, was founded.

For example, the Canadian census defines first language for its purposes as " the first language learned in childhood and still spoken ", recognizing that for some, the earliest language may be lost, a process known as language attrition.

In 1987, one of Mr. Bean's earliest appearances occurred at the " Just For Laughs " comedy festival in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

For example, prominent feminist economist Paula England provided one of the earliest feminist critiques of traditional economics as she challenged the claims that:

For his earliest television commercials, Lastman was a charismatic, in-your-face media presence.

For his part Archimedes was the first to calculate the value of π and a geometric series, and also the earliest known mathematical physicist discovering the law of buoyancy, as well as conceiving the irrigation device known as Archimedes ' screw.

For example Rembrandt, who had his own printing-press and printed at least the earliest copies of his etchings himself, was a great taker of proofs, but these are normally described as different states-his record was nine for one etching, although this involved returning to an older print he had sold many copies of, and largely reworking it.

For the earliest line that traveled through New Mexico Territory, the Jackass Mail, a San Diego newspaper suggested " ne Sharps rifle and 100 rounds, a Colt and two pounds of lead, a knife, a pair of thick wool pants, a half dozen pairs of thick socks, six undershirts, three overshirts, a wide-awake hat, a cheap sack coat, an overcoat, one pair of blankets in summer and two in winter, gauntlets, needles, pins, a sponge, hair brush, comb, soap, two pairs of thick drawers, and three or four towels.
