For example, in the Myth real-time tactics series, originally created by Bungie Software, players use them to order battlefield units to face in a desired direction.

For example, a car engine control system is a hard real-time system because a delayed signal may cause engine failure or damage.

For example, a massive supercomputer executing a scientific simulation may offer impressive performance, yet it is not executing a real-time computation.

For instance, a chess program designed to play in a tournament with a clock will need to decide on a move before a certain deadline or lose the game, and is therefore a real-time computation, but a chess program that is allowed to run indefinitely before moving is not.

For low-volume or prototype embedded systems, general purpose computers may be adapted by limiting the programs or by replacing the operating system with a real-time operating system.

* 2012: Staff of The Tuscaloosa News, " For its enterprising coverage of a deadly tornado, using social media as well as traditional reporting to provide real-time updates, help locate missing people and produce in-depth print accounts even after power disruption forced the paper to publish at another plant 50 miles away.

For example, many real-time anti-virus scanners use heuristic signatures for detecting viruses and other forms of malware.

For instance, city-building games, construction and management simulations, and games of the real-time tactics variety are generally not considered to be " real-time strategy ".

For instance, the missiles in Total Annihilation travel in real-time in simulated 3D space, and they can miss their target by passing over or under it.

In the United States for instance, the Communications Assistance For Law Enforcement Act ( CALEA ) requires that all telephone and VoIP communications be available for real-time wiretapping by Federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

For its intended role as an updating system for SLBM launch, TRANSIT sufficed, since submarines took periodic fixes to re-set their inertial guidance system, but TRANSIT lacked the ability to provide high-speed, real-time position measurements.

For example, graphical programming environments ( e. g. Max / Msp, Pure Data or vvvv ) as well as classic yet user-friendly programming environments such as Processing or openFrameworks are used to create real-time generative audiovisual artistic expressions in the Demoscene and in VJ-culture.

For this reason Fibonacci heaps and other amortized data structures may not be appropriate for real-time systems.

For instance, the simulation of a violin string produces real-time vibrations of this string under the pressure and expressiveness of the bow ( haptic device ) held by the artist.

For Macintosh computers, the now-discontinued Audion shareware supports both real-time mp3PRO encoding and decoding.

For example, one might want to develop a real-time motor controller that used a commodity database and exported a web operator interface.

For the first time, trades were being done in what is now thought of as near real-time.

For a joining fee of £ 25 and a monthly subscription of £ 12, members of the club were given access to an early type of social networking site featuring a bulletin board for sharing information and real-time conversation, along with a dialup internet connection service.

For the first time with real player names by obtaining the FIFPro license, the PlayStation, PC, 32X and Sega Saturn versions used EA's " Virtual Stadium " engine, with 2D sprite players moving around a real-time 3D stadium.

For example, Native Signal Processing ( NSP ) was a software initiative to allow Intel-based PCs to run time-sensitive code independently of the operating system, allowing real-time audio and video processing on the microprocessors of the mid-1990s.

For example, ASOR or Adaptive Smart Order Router ( developed by Quod Financial ), takes routing decisions dynamically and based on real-time market events.

For standard combat units the most common techniques are: grouping units into formations, for example to keep lightly armored shooters behind and protected by more heavily armored melee units ; concentrating the fire of all ranged units on one target and then a second, etc., to destroy threats as fast as possible ; withdrawing seriously damaged units from combat, if repairing / healing them is cheaper than replacing them ; " dancing " units that have taken some damage out of enemy weapons range and then back into combat once the enemy have locked on to another target ; using military tactics such as flanking and counterattacks ; exploiting nontransitive (" circle of death " or " rock-paper-scissors ") power relationships between units ; using cheap units to draw the enemy's fire away from more expensive units, gameplay especially typical of games of the real-time tactics type.

For one thing, this is not a subject often discussed or analyzed.

For better or for worse, we all now live in welfare states, the organizing principle of which is collective responsibility for individual well-being.

For one thing, there is a natural belt of rock across the river bed ; ;

For the family is the simplest example of just such a unit, composed of people, which gives us both some immunity from, and a way of dealing with, other people.

Even so astute a commentator as Harold Clurman of The Nation has said that `` Waiting For Godot '' is `` the concentrate of the contemporary European mood of despair ''.

For one thing, the world that Beckett sees is already shattered.

Harold Clurman is right to say that `` Waiting For Godot '' is a reflection ( he calls it a distorted reflection ) `` of the impasse and disarray of Europe's present politics, ethic, and common way of life ''.

For the beatnik, like the hipster, is in opposition to a society that is based on the repression of the sex instinct.

For this reason, too, their language is more forthright and earthy.

For the present it is enough to note that in the grotesque figure of Jacoby, at the moment of his collapse, all these elements come together in prophetic parody.

For Plato, `` imitation '' is twice removed from reality, being a poor copy of physical appearance, which in itself is a poor copy of ideal essence.

For both Plato and Aristotle artistic mimesis, in contrast to the power of dialectic, is relatively incapable of expressing the character of fundamental reality.

For Hammer, nothing is forbidden.

For example, suppose a man wearing a $200 watch, driving a 1959 Rolls Royce, stops to ask a man on the sidewalk, `` What time is it ''??

For the occasion on which everyone already knows everyone else and the host wishes them to meet one or a few honored newcomers, then the `` open house '' system is advantageous because the honored guests are fixed connective points and the drifting guests make and break connections at the door.

For this change is not a change from one positive position to another, but a change from order and truth to disorder and negation.

For paradigmatic history `` breaks '' rather than unfolds precisely when the movement is from order to disorder, and not from one order to a new order.

For this love of the boy for his mother is a hopeless and forbidden love, doomed by its nature.

For innocence, of all the graces of the spirit, is I believe the one most to be prayed for.

For what we propose, however, a psychoanalyst is not necessary, even though one aim is to enable the reader to get beneath his own defenses -- his defenses of himself to himself.
