Competing machines such as the Altair 8800 generally were programmed with front-mounted toggle switches and used indicator lights ( red LEDs, most commonly ) for output, and had to be extended with separate hardware to allow connection to a computer terminal or a teletypewriter machine.

The ULA had an issue similar to those experienced by other socketed CPU's ; Over time, the thermal heating and cooling could cause the ULA to rise slightly out of it's socket just enough to cause the machine to start exhibiting ' hanging ' or other startup-failure issues, such as a continuous ' startup beep '.

If Acorn had thought to include this small modification in the original Electron design it is likely the machine would have had a much greater impact as it would have nearly doubled the amount of motion possible in games and saved modes 0 – 3 ( including the only 16 colour mode ) from being nearly useless due to contended memory timings.

At this point, NBP provided a system for checking that no other machine had already registered the same name.

The machines had become fast enough that most users could feel they had the machine all to themselves.

During the First World War, on the Western front, the two sides had been locked in a trench war, where kill zones by overlapping fire of machine guns and barbed wire prevented either side from breaking through.

The German leadership had also been criticized for failing to understand the technical advances of the First World War, having given tank production the lowest priority and having conducted no studies of the machine gun prior to that war.

When machine translation ( also known as mechanical translation ) failed to yield accurate translations right away, automated processing of human languages was recognized as far more complex than had originally been assumed.

Thus was invented the single thread sewing machine, which Mr. Gibbs in partnership with Mr. Willcox decided to bring to Brown & Sharpe with the proposal that the small company undertake its manufacture.

The turret screw machine, now known as the Brown & Sharpe hand screw machine, takes its ancestry directly from Mr. Brown's efforts to introduce equipment to simplify the manufacture of the sewing machine.

The original machine, bearing its famous serial number, is still on exhibition at the Brown & Sharpe Precision Center in Providence.

That achievement was his creation of the universal grinding machine, which made its appearance in 1876 at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition.

This machine, like its milling counterpart, was the antecedent of a machine-family used to this very day in precision metalworking shops throughout the world.

During the year our British subsidiary, Leesona-Holt, Limited, expanded its plant in Darwen, England, and added machine tool capacity.

At this level we do not need to mention how the machine manages its tape or head.

:: "... prose used to define the way the Turing machine uses its head and the way that it stores data on its tape.

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.

Minsky's machine proceeds sequentially through its five ( or six depending on how one counts ) instructions unless either a conditional IF – THEN GOTO or an unconditional GOTO changes program flow out of sequence.

Whenever any result is sought by its aid, the question will then arise — By what course of calculation can these results be arrived at by the machine in the shortest time?

This made the Apple I an innovative machine for its day.

However, its intermediate result storage mechanism, a paper card writer / reader, was unreliable, and when inventor John Vincent Atanasoff left Iowa State College for World War II assignments, work on the machine was discontinued.

His promotion of it was so extensive that he is often credited with its invention, even though a machine operating in the same principle was described in 1762 by Swedish professor Johan Wilcke.

As long as the machines were synchronized, the mix would sound more-or-less normal, but if the operator placed his finger on the flange of one of the players ( hence " flanger "), that machine would slow down and its signal would fall out-of-phase with its partner, producing a phasing effect.

The language and its variants became widespread on microcomputers in the late 1970s and 1980s, when it was typically a standard feature, and often part of the firmware of the machine.

Bletchley Park is mainly remembered for breaking messages enciphered on the German Enigma cypher machine, but its greatest cryptographic achievement may have been the breaking of the German on-line teleprinter Lorenz cipher ( known at GC & CS as Tunny ).

This class is defined for a quantum computer and its natural corresponding class for an ordinary computer ( or a Turing machine plus a source of randomness ) is BPP.

The term BIOS ( Basic Input / Output System ) was invented by Gary Kildall and first appeared in the CP / M operating system in 1975, describing the machine-specific part of CP / M loaded during boot time that interfaces directly with the hardware ( a CP / M machine usually has only a simple boot loader in its ROM ).

Starting in 1971 Ritchie made changes to the language while converting its compiler to produce machine code, most notably adding data typing for variables.

It soon was the biggest adding machine company in America.

Minsky says that the biggest source of ideas about the theory came from his work in trying to create a machine that uses a robotic arm, a video camera, and a computer to build with children's blocks.

The biggest single cause of casualties in World War I was actually artillery, but combined with wire entanglements, machine guns earned a fearsome reputation.

The biggest problem for the machine was a lack of software.

Minsky said that the biggest source of ideas about the theory came from his work in trying to create a machine that uses a robotic arm, a video camera, and a computer to build with children's blocks.

Control is the main theme of the novel, and Burroughs attempts to use language to break down the walls of culture, the biggest control machine.

It has the biggest timber mill in Belarus, and is also known for its chemical, machine building and metal-working industries.

The biggest fields of industry nowadays are automotive technology, steel and machine building, chemicals, woodworking and packaging.

Princeton University composer Milton Babbitt, though not by any means the only person to use the machine, is the composer most often associated with it, and was its biggest advocate ( Igor Stravinsky was rumored to have suffered a heart attack upon hearing Babbitt's glowing description of the synthesizer's capabilities ).
