Since the publication of Nineteen Eighty-Four, the term " Big Brother " has entered the lexicon as a synonym for abuse of government power, particularly in respect to civil liberties, often specifically related to mass surveillance.

Since the late nineteenth century, the South used a colloquial term, the one-drop rule, to classify as black a person of any known African ancestry.

Since that time, the term Bolshevik has been regarded as obsolete, and relevant only to the pre-Revolutionary times, during the Russian Revolution itself and the Russian Civil War which followed.

Since the Anglo-Boer war the term " Boervolk " was rarely used in the 20th century by the various regimes because of this attempt to assimilate the Boervolk with the Afrikaners.

Since society considers so many rights as natural ( hence the term " right ") rather than man-made, what constitutes a crime also counts as natural, in contrast to laws ( seen as man-made ).

Since these are two very different referents, the validity of the term has been called into question.

:" Since a precise mathematical definition of the term effectively calculable ( effectively decidable ) has been wanting, we can take this thesis ... as a definition of it ..."

Since the 1990s the term has been used ( interchangeably with " the Copernicus method ") for J. Richard Gott's Bayesian-inference-based prediction of duration of ongoing events, a generalized version of the Doomsday argument.

Since the 1980s the term " new religions " or " new religious movements " has slowly entered into Evangelical usage, alongside the word " cult ".

Since the American Civil War the term " discrimination " generally evolved in American English usage as an understanding of prejudicial treatment of an individual based solely on their race, later generalized as membership in a certain socially undesirable group or social category.

Since the introduction of the term, ethical egoism has been retroactively applied to philosophers before Sidgwick.

Since its introduction, the term has been picked up and used by various researchers engaging in Science and technology studies.

Since then, the term has become common in English-language ethical theory.

Since the overwhelming majority of scientists accept the modern evolutionary synthesis as the best explanation of current data, the term is seldom used in the scientific community ; to say someone is a scientist implies acceptance of evolutionary views, unless specifically noted otherwise.

Since family names are normally written last in European societies ( except in Hungary ), the term last name is commonly used for family name, while in East Asia ( with vertical writing ) the family name may be referred to as upper name ( as in Japanese ).

Since the 17th century, the term fugue has described what is commonly regarded as the most fully developed procedure of imitative counterpoint.

Since the 1970s, when Elizabeth A. R. Brown published The Tyranny of a Construct ( 1974 ), many have re-examined the evidence and concluded that feudalism is an unworkable term and should be removed entirely from scholarly and educational discussion, or at least used only with severe qualification and warning.

Since Carangi's death, she has been considered a lesbian supermodel and icon and is said to have epitomized " lesbian chic " more than a decade before the term was coined.

Since the brain effects of hypoglycemia, termed neuroglycopenia, determine whether a given low glucose is a " problem " for that person, most doctors use the term hypoglycemia only when a moderately low glucose level is accompanied by symptoms or brain effects

Since the early 20th century, the term is used almost exclusively in conjunction with the modern development of hydro-electric power, which allowed use of distant energy sources.

Since " information " in electronic media is often used synonymously with " data ", the term information explosion is closely related to the concept of data flood also dubbed data deluge.

Since 1997 it has been in the hands of a private developer, on a long term lease, which has transformed the property into a world class resort.

Since kickboxing is a broad term that can be used both in a wide and narrow sense.

Since the term value is understood in the LTV as denoting something created by labor, and its " magnitude " as something proportional to the quantity of labor performed, it is important to explain how the labor process both preserves value and adds new value in the commodities it creates.

Since the 1970s the microprocessor class of CPUs has almost completely overtaken all other CPU implementations.

Since only one instruction is executed at a time, the entire CPU must wait for that instruction to complete before proceeding to the next instruction.

Since these devices are used to run countless different types of programs, these CPU designs are not specifically targeted at one type of application or one function.

Since the mid-1960s, mainframe designs have included several subsidiary computers ( called channels or peripheral processors ) which manage the I / O devices, leaving the CPU free to deal only with high-speed memory.

Since a CPU designer could hardly guarantee where this code would be located in a future system, the 6809 design focused heavily on support of position-independent, reentrant code that could be freely located anywhere in the memory map.

Since then WDC have moved much of the original MOS catalog to CMOS, and the 6502 continues to be a popular CPU in embedded systems, like medical equipment and car dashboard controllers.

Since the advent of microcontrollers ( monolithic integrated circuits containing RAM, ROM and CPU all onboard ), the term " micro " is more commonly used to refer to that meaning.

Since transmission of a single character may take a long time relative to CPU speeds, the UART will maintain a flag showing busy status so that the host system does not deposit a new character for transmission until the previous one has been completed ; this may also be done with an interrupt.

Since the SSE2 processor extension, Intel has provided such a functionality in CPU hardware, which rounds denormalized numbers to zero.

Since existing DOS programs expected to be able to initiate host-controlled ISA DMA for producing sound, backward compatibility with the older Sound Blaster cards for DOS programs required a software driver work-around ; since this work-around necessarily depended on the virtual 8086 mode of the PC's CPU in order to catch and reroute accesses from the ISA DMA controller to the card itself, it failed for a number of DOS games that either were not fully compatible with this CPU mode or needed so much free conventional memory that they could not be loaded with the driver occupying part of this memory.

Since the highest performing computers were being used primarily for math processing in science and engineering, they decided to focus their CPU design on math alone.

Since much of the complexity of a CPU is due to the instruction fetching and decoding process, Solomon's PEs ended up being much simpler than the CU, so many of them could be built without driving up the price.

Since terminals were connected through various types of front-end processors ( as per common IBM timesharing practice both then and now ), and could therefore function without CPU attention for a considerable amount of time, MUSIC used variable-length time slices, which could, on compute-bound processing, reach a maximum of several seconds per time slice ; conversely, if a user filled the output buffer or reached a conversational read, the timeslice would end immediately.

Since the CPU " knows " it is Fred ( from the signaling on the Data Link D ), it looks up Fred's information on the System Disk, specifically his password.

Since the CPU is constantly listening for Touch-tones from Fred, his command causes the CPU to direct the Disk Controller to stop playing the message.

Since the CPU does not have to be replaced, they can operate on production units where the CPU is soldered in and cannot be replaced.

Since data must be moved between the CPU and memory along a bus which has a limited data transfer rate, there exists a condition that is known as the Von Neumann bottleneck.

Since the 40-column VIC-II display chip could not " steal " sufficient cycles when the CPU ran at double speed, video display in fast mode was available only with the 80-column VDC ( unlike the VIC, which shares memory with the CPU, the VDC has its own dedicated video RAM in the C128 ).

Since DOSBox can emulate its CPU by interpretation, it's independent of its host CPU.
