Some lost hands or limbs, others were crushed under the machines, and some were decapitated.

Some of the cassettes for the Sing Along machines were recorded by Filipino cover bands for popular songs so that the vocals and accompaniment could be played independently.

Some KA10 machines, first at MIT, and later at Bolt, Beranek and Newman ( BBN ), were modified to add virtual memory and support for demand paging, as well as more physical memory.

Some paint outlets have machines for mixing the paint by shaking the can vigorously for a few minutes.

Some RS-232 devices are still found, especially in industrial machines or scientific instruments.

Some people take a more moderate stance, saying that soft drink machines should be allowed in schools, but that they should not be the only option available.

Some of the most popular are the video poker machines, in which players hope to obtain a set of symbols corresponding to a winning poker hand.

( Some machines feature two or more of these bonus styles as part of the same game.

Some states have restrictions on the type ( called " class ") of slot machines that can be used in a casino or other gaming area.

Some installations use Linux for zSeries to run Web servers, where Linux runs as the operating system within many virtual machines.

Some virtual machines emulate hardware that only exists as a detailed specification.

Some of the smallest machines for cotton covering have a large drum, which grips the wire and moves it through toothed gears ; the wire passes through the centre of disks mounted above a long bed, and the disks carry each a number of bobbins varying from six to twelve or more in different machines.

Some machines do not support Wake-on-LAN after they have been disconnected from power ( e. g., when power is restored after a power failure ).

Some machines, like the Atari ST microcomputer, were " instant-on ", with the operating system executing from a ROM.

Some implementations base their user threads on top of several kernel threads to benefit from multi-processor machines ( M: N model ).

Some threshing machines were equipped with a bagger, which invariably held two bags, one being filled, and the other being replaced with an empty.

Some virtual machines that support bytecode for Smalltalk, the Java virtual machine, and Microsoft's Common Language Runtime virtual machine as their ISA implement it by translating the bytecode for commonly used code paths into native machine code, and executing less-frequently-used code paths by interpretation ; Transmeta implemented the x86 instruction set atop VLIW processors in the same fashion.

Some printers can print documents stored on memory cards or from digital cameras and scanners.

Some computers were built using " writable microcode " — rather than storing the microcode in ROM or hard-wired logic, the microcode was stored in a RAM called a writable control store or WCS.

Some libraries have additional galleries beyond the public ones, where reference materials are stored.

Some nutrients can be stored internally ( e. g., the fat soluble vitamins ), while others are required more or less continuously.

Some of the light energy gathered by chlorophylls is stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ).

Some telephones have facilities to make calls through a calling card service whose access details and PIN are also stored in the telephone's memory.

When such bodies are subjected to a sinusoidally oscillating stress, the strain is neither exactly in phase with the stress ( as it would be for a perfectly elastic solid ) nor 90 degrees out of phase ( as it would be for a perfectly viscous liquid ) but rather exhibits a strain that lags the stress at a value between zero and 90 degrees: i. e., Some of the energy is stored and recovered in each cycle, and some is dissipated as heat.

Some simpler embedded systems do not require a noticeable boot sequence to begin functioning and may simply run operational programs stored in read-only memory ( ROM ) when turned on.

Some software rasterizers use ' span buffering ' ( or ' coverage buffering '), in which a list of sorted, clipped spans are stored in scanline buckets.

Some instructions give one or both operands implicitly, such as by being stored on top of the stack or in an implicit register.

Some synchrotron radiation facilities scatter laser light off the stored electron beam.

Some athletes have tried to improve their performance by blood doping: first about 1 litre of their blood is extracted, then the red blood cells are isolated, frozen and stored, to be reinjected shortly before the competition.

Some had been stored during World War II pending the opening of extensions.

Some nutrients can be stored internally ( e. g., the fat soluble vitamins ), while others are required more or less continuously.

Some references in a program or library module are stored in a relative or symbolic form which cannot be resolved until all code and libraries are assigned final static addresses.

Some entrepreneurial immigrants opened small businesses to service the community, such as harvesting ice from the Hudson River, which was stored in large ice houses along the banks of the river and sold in the summers to homes and businesses.

Some 1200 tonnes of uranium stored at the Olen refinery were captured by the Germans during the invasion and occupation of Belgium in 1940, and only recovered by US troops at the end of the war.

Some will try to identify the disc being ripped by looking up network services like AMG's LASSO, FreeDB, Gracenote's CDDB, GD3 or MusicBrainz, or attempt text extraction if CD-Text has been stored.

Some mushrooms that are edible for most people can cause allergic reactions in some individuals, and old or improperly stored specimens can cause food poisoning.

Some mosques suffered superficial damage in the process, mostly due to Mahdi Army fighters mishandling explosives stored in the Kufa Mosque.

Some operating systems have an area of memory called " the environment " which can contain environment variables which tell processes about such matters as where the particular computer system expects temporary files to be stored, i. e., some details of the operating environment.
