RAND strategist Herman Kahn, collaborating with risk analyst Ian Harold Brown, proposed a " Doomsday Machine " in the 1950s that would consist of a computer linked to a stockpile of hydrogen bombs, programmed to detonate them all and bathe the planet in nuclear fallout at the signal of an impending nuclear attack from another nation.

The Supervisor even has the potential power to run every robot, computer system, nuclear power plant and military on the planet simultaneously if it needed to, although it wisely has no connection to outside the complex.

In the early 1980s, using technology developed for the aerospace and nuclear industries, German car makers started complex computer crash simulation studies, using finite element methods simulating the crash behaviour of individual car body components, component assemblies, and quarter and half cars at the body in white ( BIW ) stage.

Many contemporary computer strategy games can be considered wargames, in the sense that they are a simulation of warfare on some level.

The greatest difference is the integration of an inertial navigation system, sensors detecting the weapons ' lay, automation, and an encrypted digital communication system which utilizes computer controlled frequency hopping to avoid enemy electronic warfare and allow the howitzer to send grid location and altitude to the battery fire direction center ( FDC ).

" A Taste of Armageddon " mentions Vendikar materializing Fusion bombs over targets of enemy planet, Eminiar VII, in the course of theoretical computer warfare.

Tim plays endless pranks on Gareth, such as hiding his computer, putting his stapler in jelly ( a prank that has been reprised in several other versions of The Office, including the US version ), gluing his phone so that the receiver cannot be picked up ( and then phoning him up ) and playing on Gareth's naïveté by encouraging him to discuss warfare with language which could be interpreted as being homosexual in nature ( e. g. ' the enemy has discovered your camp ... and they've all entered your hole ', ' taking a man from behind ' or ' could you give a man a lethal blow?

It has been theorized that a state vs. state conflict in fourth generation warfare would involve the use of computer hackers and international law to obtain the weaker side ’ s objectives, the logic being that the civilians of the stronger state would lose the will to fight as a result of seeing their state engage in alleged atrocities and having their own bank accounts harmed.

JFCC-NW facilitates / facilitated cooperative engagement with other national entities in computer network defense and offensive information warfare as part of the global information operations mission.

We accomplish this by compiling a list of text forms as text is read by the computer.

A location in the computer store is also named for each marked form ; ;

For this step the computer memory is separated into three regions: cells in the W-region are used for storage of the forms in the text-form list ; ;

It appears in a form that is admirably suited to the powers of the digital computer.

The set of equations ( 5 ), ( 6 ), and the starting equation ( 7 ) is of a recursive type well suited to programming on the digital computer.

This is not wholly a reasoning process -- a computer cannot do it all -- and even in an Angel it takes time.

In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm ( originating from al-Khwārizmī, the famous Persian mathematician Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī ) is a step-by-step procedure for calculations.

In computer systems, an algorithm is basically an instance of logic written in software by software developers to be effective for the intended " target " computer ( s ), in order for the target machines to produce output from given input ( perhaps null ).

Computers ( and computors ), models of computation: A computer ( or human " computor ") is a restricted type of machine, a " discrete deterministic mechanical device " that blindly follows its instructions.

Simulation of an algorithm: computer ( computor ) language: Knuth advises the reader that " the best way to learn an algorithm is to try it.

This means that the programmer must know a " language " that is effective relative to the target computing agent ( computer / computor ).

Written in prose but much closer to the high-level language of a computer program, the following is the more formal coding of the algorithm in pseudocode or pidgin code:
