Like the hard drive, there is nothing in a computer clock circuit or data transfer path that demands or even encourages that things happen at rates easily expressed using powers of 1024, or even using powers of 2.

This was the first known computer and most advanced system of calculation known to date-preceding Greek methods by 2, 000 years.

Bennett, Bernstein, Brassard, and Vazirani proved in 1996 that a brute-force key search on a quantum computer cannot be faster than roughly 2 < sup > n / 2 </ sup > invocations of the underlying cryptographic algorithm, compared with roughly 2 < sup > n </ sup > in the classical case.

* Class 2 fax devices perform T. 30 session management themselves, but the T. 4 / T. 6 data compression is performed by software on a controlling computer.

Historically, the term has also been used in some fields of computer science and information technology to denote the gibibyte, or ( 1024 < sup > 3 </ sup > or 2 < sup > 30 </ sup >) bytes.

To be considered a ' hack ' was an honour among like-minded peers as " to qualify as a hack, the feat must be imbued with innovation, style and technical virtuosity " ( Levy, 1984 p. 10 ) The MIT's Tech Model Railroad Club Dictionary defined hack in 1959 ( not yet in a computer context ) as " 1 ) an article or project without constructive end ; 2 ) a project undertaken on bad self-advice ; 3 ) an entropy booster ; 4 ) to produce, or attempt to produce, a hack ( 3 ).

Responding to complaints about OS / 2 2. 0's high demands on computer hardware, version 3. 0 was significantly optimized both for speed and size.

IEEE 802. 11 is a set of standards for implementing wireless local area network ( WLAN ) computer communication in the 2. 4, 3. 6 and 5 GHz frequency bands.

CD-ROM Mode 2 Form 1, usually used for computer data, has the same user data and error correction as Mode 1, but with a slightly different layout.

Few personal computers used the 80186, with some notable exceptions: the Australian Dulmont Magnum laptop, one of the first laptops ; the Wang Office Assistant, marketed as a PC-like stand-alone word processor ; the Mindset ; the Siemens PC-D ( not 100 % IBM PC-compatible but using MS-DOS 2. 11: de: Siemens PC-D ); the Compis ( a Swedish school computer ); the RM Nimbus ( a British school computer ); the Unisys ICON ( a Canadian school computer ); ORB Computer by ABS ; the HP 100LX, HP 200LX, HP 1000CX and HP OmniGo 700LX ; the Tandy 2000 desktop ( a somewhat PC-compatible workstation with sharp graphics for its day ); the Philips: YES ; the Nokia MikroMikko 2.

The H5118M computer had a staggering 1 megabyte of memory and could handle 1. 2 million instructions per second while the former model had a memory of only 256 kilobytes and a clock speed of 150000 instructions per seconds.

Although the prefix kilo-means 1000, the term kilobyte and symbol kB have historically been used to refer to either 1024 ( 2 < sup > 10 </ sup >) bytes or 1000 ( 10 < sup > 3 </ sup >) bytes, dependent upon context, in the fields of computer science and information technology.
