) Like the central processing unit ( CPU ) in a modern computer, the mill would rely upon its own internal procedures, to be stored in the form of pegs inserted into rotating drums called " barrels ", to carry out some of the more complex instructions the user's program might specify.

There are some private national toll-free numbers that use ANI and then have a computer read back the number that is calling, but these are not intended for use in identifying the customer's own phone number.

Running an electronic analog computer, assuming a satisfactory setup, started with the computer held with some variables fixed at their initial values.

In some instances, the computer could, after a certain running time interval, repeatedly return to the initial-conditions state to reset the problem, and run it again.

Software refers to one or more computer programs and data held in the storage of the computer for some reasons.

Computational linguists often work as members of interdisciplinary teams, including linguists ( specifically trained in linguistics ), language experts ( persons with some level of ability in the languages relevant to a given project ), and computer scientists.

Categories now appear in most branches of mathematics, some areas of theoretical computer science where they correspond to types, and mathematical physics where they can be used to describe vector spaces.

The thing can be made to look like the cluttered attic of a large and vigorous family -- a motley jumble of discarded objects, some outworn and some that were never useful, some once whole and bright but now chipped and tarnished, some odd pieces whose history no one remembers, here and there a gem, everything fascinating because it suggests some part of the human condition -- the whole adding up to nothing more than a glimpse into the disorderly history of the makers and users.

In BrE, both irregular and regular forms are current, but for some words ( such as smelt and leapt ) there is a strong tendency towards the irregular forms, especially by users of Received Pronunciation.

Since 31 December 2003, the system has been closed to new users, at that time, it covered 100 % of the Spanish population, but now some antennas have been given to GSM operators.

Most elite BBSes used some form of new user verification, where new users would have to apply for membership and attempt to prove that they were not a law enforcement officer or a lamer.

However, many " free " BBSes also maintained close knit communities, and some even had annual or bi-annual events where users would travel great distances to meet face-to-face with their on-line friends.

Practitioners of Blissymbolics ( that is, speech and language therapists and users ) maintain that some users who have learned to communicate with Blissymbolics find it easier to learn to read and write traditional orthography in the local spoken language than do users who did not know Blissymbolics.

Withdrawal of benzodiazepines from long-term users, in general, leads to improved physical and mental health particularly in the elderly ; although some long term users report continued benefit from taking benzodiazepines, this may be the result of suppression of withdrawal effects.

The association of a past history of benzodiazepine use and cognitive decline is unclear, with some studies reporting a lower risk of cognitive decline in former users, some finding no association and some indicating an increased risk of cognitive decline.

Also, some users complain that the resulting prints are difficult to write on, as the wax tends to repel inks from pens, and are difficult to feed through automatic document feeders, but these traits have been significantly reduced in later models.

This presents few problems for English-speaking users, but other languages regularly — in some cases, always — require characters outside that range.

LSD, mescaline, psilocybin, and others in this group can produce major distortions of perception, including hallucinations ; some users even describe their drug-induced experiences as mystical or spiritual in quality.

Most users report a typing speed of fifty characters per minute, though some reach over one hundred per minute.

Whilst this had the advantage of being usable by untrained users via ' hunt and peck ' typing and requiring one less key switch than a conventional 12 button keypad, it had the disadvantage that some symbols required three times as much force to depress them as others which made it hard to achieve any speed with the device.

The researchers note that some of the best instances of usability adjustments can be made through casual conversation, and that often usability is bypassed by developers because these individuals never think to consult test users.

The use of rhyming slang has spread beyond the purely dialectal and some examples are to be found in the mainstream British English lexicon and internationally, although many users may be unaware of the origin of those words.

Context menus have received some criticism from usability analysts when improperly used, as some applications make certain features only available in context menus, which may confuse even experienced users ( especially when the context menus can only be activated in a limited area of the application's client window ).

Rhyming slang is believed to have originated in the mid-19th century in the East End of London, with several sources suggesting some time in the 1840s.

It also contains influences from Cockney rhyming slang and the King James Bible, the German language, some words of unclear origin, and some that Burgess invented.

is a slang term for unusual forms of English language usage by native speakers of some East Asian languages.

A number of words from Polari have entered mainstream slang ; some recent examples are:

In this role Jason popularised some slang words and phrases ; examples being the mild insults " dipstick " and " plonker ", and the celebratory " lovely jubbly ".

He also cuts the coarse and broad expressions ' which Grose had allowed and notes the way that some slang terminology, typically rum-once a positive term, but by 1820 generally the reverse-had altered.

The 1966 comedy They're a Weird Mob, starring Walter Chiari, Chips Rafferty and Clare Dunne was a rare hit of the period which also documented something of the changing face of Australian society: telling the story of a newly arrived Italian immigrant who, working as a labourer in Sydney, becomes mates with his co-workers, despite some difficulties with Australian slang and culture.

* Locoweed, an American term for some intoxicating plants, also slang for marijuana

The name is a pleonasm that would likely only be recognised by certain readers, as " Drum " is slang for " House " in some English dialects, and " Billet " is a ( more typically ) Military term for housing.

Some Malay dialects, however, show only limited mutual intelligibility with the standard language ; for example, Kelantanese or Sarawakian pronunciation is difficult for many fellow Malaysians to understand, while Indonesian contains many words unfamiliar to speakers of Malaysian, some because of Javanese, Sundanese or other local language influence, and some because of slang.

In other words, at some point in history, terms that used to be slang shift into basic vocabulary, and this principle applies to decades-old internet slang just as it has always applied to many other kinds of slang.

Other slang terms are used in the film ; some such as nesh ( meaning a person unusually susceptible to cold ) are used in Northern England as a whole.
