When this flag is turned on for a file ( which can be accomplished by a computer program or by a human user ), the file can be examined, but it cannot be modified.

When computer files contain information that is extremely important, a back-up process is used to protect against disasters that might destroy the files.

When a DHCP-configured client ( a computer or any other network-aware device ) connects to a network, the DHCP client sends a broadcast query requesting necessary information to a DHCP server.

* When using computer files or the Internet, often shortened to " e -" as in e-mail for electronic mail, or prefix " e " as in eCommerce for electronic commerce.

When expressing the abstract nature of computer science, he wrote

When a human played the game against the computer, the computer queried the Earl Weaver or Tony La Russa Expert System for a decision on what strategy to follow.

When social identity and ingroup status are salient, computer mediation can decrease flaming because individuals focus their attention on the social context ( and associated norms ) rather than themselves.

When a pilot moves the control column ( or sidestick ), a signal is sent to a computer ( analogous to moving a game controller ) the signal is sent through multiple wires ( channels ) to ensure that the signal reaches the computer.

When the term was introduced to wider society by the mainstream media in 1983, even those in the computer community referred to computer intrusion as " hacking ", although not as the exclusive use of that word.

When the music is stored in an audio file format that is lossless such as FLAC, Monkey's Audio or WMA Lossless, the computer playback of recorded audio can serve as an audiophile-quality source for a hi-fi system.

When they are both large, for instance more than 2000 bits long, randomly chosen, and about the same size ( but not too close, e. g. to avoid efficient factorization by Fermat's factorization method ), even the fastest prime factorization algorithms on the fastest computers can take enough time to make the search impractical ; that is, as the number of digits of the primes being factored increases, the number of operations required to perform the factorization on any computer increases drastically.

When the PDA is repaired or replaced, it can be " re-synced " with the computer, restoring the user's data.

When the terms formal parameter and actual parameter are used, they generally correspond with the definitions used in computer science.

When a metal wire is connected across the two terminals of a DC voltage source such as a battery, the source places an electric field across the conductor.

When electronic terminals ( smart and dumb ) began to be used, they were often designed to be interchangeable with teletypewriters, and so supported RS-232.

When video displays first became available the user interface was initially exactly the same as for an electromechanical printer ; expensive and scarce video terminals could be used interchangeably with teleprinters.

When the key is closed, and the apparatus in operation, there are trains of intermittent electrical oscillations set up in the circuit, and if the terminals of the secondary circuit of the oscillation transformer are near together, there is high potential high frequency oscillatory sparks passing between them.

When the gate is more positive, it attracts electrons, inducing an n-type conductive channel in the substrate below the oxide, which allows electrons to flow between the n-doped terminals ; the switch is on.

When a voltage is applied between the gate and body terminals, the electric field generated penetrates through the oxide and creates an " inversion layer " or " channel " at the semiconductor-insulator interface.

When the new ICC rule took effect on November 1, passengers were permitted to sit wherever they chose on the bus ; " white " and " colored " signs came down in the terminals ; separate drinking fountains, toilets, and waiting rooms were consolidated ; and lunch counters began serving people regardless of skin color.

When current flows, however, the voltage across the terminals of the source of emf is no longer the open-circuit value, due to voltage drops inside the device due to its internal resistance.

When it was introduced the DoC expected terminals to be available for $ 200 to $ 300 by 1982, but this did not come to be.

* When operated at full speed, the Pacificat fleet created a wake which was reported to have damaged waterfront wharves and property in coastal areas near the two terminals.

When current flows through a diode there is a small voltage drop across the diode terminals.

When the IBM PC XT came out in 1983, BOS served over eight concurrent dumb terminals on it.

When the innervation to substance P nerve terminals is lost, post-synaptic cells compensate for the loss of adequate neurotransmitter by increasing the expression of post-synaptic receptors.

* When turning on from an off-state, I < sub > GT </ sub > depends on the voltage applied on the two main terminals MT1 and MT2.

When the gate current is discontinued, if the current flowing between the two main terminals is more than the so-called latching current, the device keeps conducting, otherwise the device might turn off.

When energized, a direct on line ( DOL ) starter immediately connects the motor terminals directly to the power supply.

* When forward-biased, the voltage across the end terminals of the diode should be zero, whatever the current that flows through it ( on-state );

When the tube was handled ( the terminals were insulated ) the shape of the plasma changed.

When PCs and Unix computers began to supplant IBM 3270 terminals, some users wanted text editors that resembled the XEDIT they were accustomed to.

When the full expansion is completed by 2011, the airport will have three terminals and three concourses, two cargo mega terminals, an airport free zone, an expo centre with three large exhibition halls, a major aircraft maintenance hub and a flower center to handle perishable goods as well as five star hotel to accommodate transit passengers.

When gas velocity is high in the spark gap, the arc between the terminals is blown away from the terminals, making the arc longer and requiring more energy in each spark.

When this might cause a problem, remote sense can be used to force the power supply to counteract the voltage drop by raising the voltage at its output terminals.
