They, and the two large fans which I could dimly see as daylight filtered through their vents, down at the far end of the hall, could be turned on by a master switch situated inside the office.

I quickly turned around and began to drink.

I guided her to the divan, turned off the TV, faced her.

I turned to look at the lubra.

And I select this sentence as its pertinent summation: `` in essence the drama of his ( Eisenhower's ) Presidency can be described as the ordeal of a nation turned conservative and struggling -- thus far with but limited and precarious success -- to give effective voice and force to that conservatism ''.

But every time I suggested this to her, Mrs. Wright turned it down and demanded that I go out and punish Mr. Wright.

I turned around with the percolator in my hand.

The covers slid down his skinny neck so I saw his head, fuzzed like a dandelion gone to seed, but his face was turned to the wall -- there was the pale shadow of his nose on the plaster -- and I thought, Well you don't look much like a pig-drunk bully now.

From there I turned left along Cumhuriyet Cadesi past more hotels and a park on the left, Republic Gardens, and came in a few moments to Taksim Square, one of the hubs of the city, with the Monument of the Republic, erected in 1928, in its center.

Outside I walked past the entrance to St. Sophia, turned left at the end of it, and continued toward a gate in the wall ahead.

One day when he attended a war memorial ceremony in Westminster Abbey his view was obstructed by a stout man on his left, his attention turned to the irregular pattern of the rough slab flooring and someone, clasping him by the arm, whispered, `` I want a word with you, please ''.

`` I like to dance '', she said, then turned and walked away.

As the bus turned into the main highway and headed toward Hanover I settled back in my seat and closed my eyes, thinking over the events of the past two weeks, trying to put the pieces in order.

I turned on the electric bug, and the signal came in loud and clear.

I couldn't see him, but the electric bugging device gave steady beeps when it was straight ahead, short half beeps when the car I was following was to the left, and long drawn-out beeps when it turned to the right.

I turned left too soon and got a signal showing that I was still behind him but he was to the right.

Pete turned around and said to Marty, `` I guess you think I'm a yellow-bellied hound.

I drove out of the Harbor, turned off into a dirt road among the scrub pine trees and stopped.

`` I'd just turned on the ignition when there was a big flash and I was lying on the driveway '', he said.

I guess you'd better go on in the morning ''.

`` I've been mucking in a mine in the San Juan, but I used to work on a ranch.

I just can't take any chances on getting her pregnant, and if we were sleeping together ''

In the brief moment I had to talk to them before I took my post on the ring of defenses, I indicated I was sickened by the methods men employed to live and trade on the river.

`` That quirt -- I ought to use it on you, where it would do the most good.

I don't know what goes on around here, and I don't care.

I went to the hall in the afternoons only, on these preliminary matters.

When one of the men in the hall behind us spat on the floor and scraped his boot over the gob of spittle I noticed how the clerk winced.

) hung on a hook on the wall, and underneath it I could see his tie, knotted, ready to be slipped over his head, a black badge of frayed respectability that ought never to have left his neck.

Once, pressing him, I learned that his job was only part-time, in the afternoons when nothing went on in the hall.

For although I had crossed a corner of the hall on my way to the toilet I still could not tell for sure how far to the rear the darkness extended.

This light did not penetrate very far back into the hall, and my eyes were hindered rather than aided by the dim daylight entering through the fan vents when I tried to pick out whatever might be lying, or squatting, on the floor below.

And I had hardly finished my business in the toilet on the aforementioned occasion when the lights in that place, like the hall lights controlled from the switch in the office, flicked off and on impatiently.

One manufacturer who held an allegedly basic patent said: `` I would readily put over $50,000 into the manufacture of the device, but it is so easy to make that we would enter immediately into a prolonged ordeal of patent litigation which would eat up all our profits ''.

The batteries on the bugging device I had put on the car were still fresh enough to send out good strong signals.

I reached over and switched off the electronic bugging device.

She went in to get the hamburgers, and I switched on the device again and kept the signal from Dowling's car coming in steady and clear until I saw her starting back with the hamburgers.

Then I shut off the device again.

The reverse of the seal ( device ) | seal of Alexander I, enhanced as a 19th century steel engraving.

" From these principles and some additional constraints —( 1a ) a lower bound on the linear dimensions of any of the parts, ( 1b ) an upper bound on speed of propagation ( the velocity of light ), ( 2 ) discrete progress of the machine, and ( 3 ) deterministic behavior — he produces a theorem that " What can be calculated by a device satisfying principles I – IV is computable.

The Kernel-Mode Driver Framework ( KMDF ) model continues to allow development of kernel-mode device drivers, but attempts to provide standard implementations of functions that are well known to cause problems, including cancellation of I / O operations, power management, and plug and play device support.

* I / O Kit – an open-source framework from Apple for developing Mac OS X device drivers

A different ontology arises if we need to attend to the electrodynamics in the device: Here signals propagate at finite speed and an object ( like a resistor ) that was previously viewed as a single component with an I / O behavior may now have to be thought of as an extended medium through which an electromagnetic wave flows.

Everything else can be done in a usermode program, although device drivers implemented as user programs may on some processor architectures require special privileges to access I / O hardware.

In particular, all ARPAnet TOPS-20 systems had an I / O bus because the AN20 IMP interface was an I / O bus device.

The " data break " method moved some of common logic needed to implement DMA I / O from each I / O device into one common copy of the logic within the processor.

There were no specific input or output instructions ; the PDP-11 used memory-mapped I / O and so the same move instruction was used ; orthogonality even enabled moving data directly from an input device to an output device.

The channel allowed a device to suspend a channel program, pending the completion of an I / O operation and thus to free the channel for use by another device.
