Many ciphers are based on publicly known algorithms or are open source, and so it is only the difficulty of obtaining the key that determines security of the system, provided that there is no analytic attack ( i. e., a ' structural weakness ' in the algorithms or protocols used ), and assuming that the key is not otherwise available ( such as via theft, extortion, or compromise of computer systems ).

Many computer languages require garbage collection, either as part of the language specification ( e. g., Java, C #, and most scripting languages ) or effectively for practical implementation ( e. g., formal languages like lambda calculus ); these are said to be garbage collected languages.

Many ( but not all ) computer systems use extensions in file names to help identify what they contain, also known as the file type.

Many modern computer systems provide methods for protecting files against accidental and deliberate damage.

Many of the existence proofs and some of the uniqueness proofs for the sporadic groups originally used computer calculations, most of which have since been replaced by shorter hand proofs.

Many computer systems require low interrupt latencies, especially embedded systems that need to control machinery in real-time.

Many areas of mathematics and computer science have been brought to bear on the problem, including elliptic curves, algebraic number theory, and quantum computing.

Many natural computer science problems are covered by the class NP.

Many other computer programs are also capable of processing or creating plain text, such as countless commands in DOS, Windows, MacOS, and Unix and its kin ; as well as web browsers ( a few browsers such as Lynx and the Line Mode Browser produce only plain text for display ).

Many shareware developers are individual computer programmers who develop their own product.

Many of the technological skills were penalized by the complexity of the robot, security system, or computer the character was attempting to manipulate ( also rated from 1 to 6 ).

Many SGI graphics engineers left to work at other computer graphics companies such as ATI and Nvidia, contributing to the PC 3D graphics revolution.

Many also have firing ports allowing the infantry to fire personal weapons while mounted and improved armour.

Many IFVs utilize firing ports allowing infantry to fire without leaving the protection of the vehicle.

Many of the ports for transport of goods along the Murray have also developed as places to cross the river, either by bridge or ferry.

Many IFVs were also equipped with firing ports from which their infantry could fire their weapons from inside, although these were generally not successful and have been dropped from modern IFVs.

Many of the trading ports of the Persian empires were located in or around Persian Gulf.

Many modern personal computers have no RS-232 ports and must use an external converter to connect to older peripherals.

Many were just slightly-enhanced ports of Mega Drive or old arcade games such as Space Harrier.

Many join Mediterranean ports.

Examples: " Many of the external peripherals I own, such as my scanner and printer, connect to the peripheral ports on the back of my computer.

Many worked for Pittsburgh Steamship Company, piloting iron ore ships from Duluth, Minnesota to Ashtabula and other ports.

Many castles were built close to inland river ports and those built on the coast were usually located at the mouths of rivers or in ports, Pevensey and Portchester being rare exceptions.

Many major ports and positions were made part of the Atlantic Wall and received heavy fortifications.

Many accessories including parallel and serial ports were produced for this interface.

Many scale models, nautical instruments and objects made by the sailors during their crossing or brought back from foreign ports invoke thoughts of travel aboard extraordinary tall ships at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.

Many early ports suffered significant gameplay quality issues because the hardware of PCs and consoles differed so dramatically.

Many of the Massachusetts Bay Colony's original settlers arrived from England in the 1630s through the ports of Lynn and Salem.

Many older devices in a PC also use PIO, including legacy serial ports,

Many coolies were first deceived or kidnapped and then kept in barracoons ( detention centers ) or loading vessels in the ports of departure, as were African slaves.

Many ports along the Maghreb coast were occupied or constructed by the Phoenicians, particularly the Carthaginians, whose main settlements along the North African littoral between the Pillars of Hercules and the Libyan coast east of ancient Cyrenaica, centered in the Gulf of Tunis ( Carthage, Utica ) dominated the trade and intercourse of the Western Mediterranean for centuries.

Many graduates in the Naval Reserve have been called to serve supporting naval roles in ports in Iraq and Kuwait.
