While von Neumann is most often credited with the design of the stored-program computer because of his design of EDVAC, others before him, such as Konrad Zuse, had suggested and implemented similar ideas.

While the complexity, size, construction, and general form of CPUs have changed enormously since 1950, it is notable that the basic design and function has not changed much at all.

While removing the global clock signal makes the design process considerably more complex in many ways, asynchronous ( or clockless ) designs carry marked advantages in power consumption and heat dissipation in comparison with similar synchronous designs.

While the roots of the game are very casual and laid back the newer generations of players are taking course design as well as the other elements of the game to a new level.

While the conceptual and external levels design can usually be done independently of any DBMS ( DBMS-independent design software packages exist, possibly with interfaces to some specific popular DBMSs ), the internal level design highly relies on the capabilities and internal data structure of the specific DBMS utilized ( see the Implementation section below ).

While light, highly maneuverable aircraft did have some advantages in fighter-versus-fighter combat, those could usually be overcome by sound tactical doctrine, and the design approach of the Italians and Japanese made their planes ill-suited as interceptors or attack aircraft.

While Graphic Design as a discipline has a relatively recent history, with the term " graphic design " first coined by William Addison Dwiggins in 1922, graphic design-like activities span the history of humankind: from the caves of Lascaux, to Rome's Trajan's Column to the illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages, to the dazzling neons of Ginza.

While his design was sound and the plans were probably correct, or at least debuggable, the project was slowed by various problems including disputes with the chief machinist building parts for it.

While it is theoretically possible to implement a full computer entirely mechanically ( as Babbage's design showed ), electronics made possible the speed and later the miniaturization that characterize modern computers.

Hendrix borrowed a Fender Telecaster from Noel Redding to record " Hey Joe " and " Purple Haze ", used a white Gibson SG Custom for his performances on The Dick Cavett Show in the summer of 1969, and the Isle of Wight film shows him playing his second Gibson Flying V. While Jimi had previously owned a Flying V that he had painted with a psychedelic design, the Flying V used at the Isle of Wight was a unique custom left-handed guitar with gold plated hardware, a bound fingerboard and " split-diamond " fret markers that were not found on other 1960s-era Flying Vs.

While there are sensory advantages present at the macroscale compared to the limited sensorium available at the nanoscale, proposals for positionally controlled nanoscale mechanosynthetic fabrication systems employ dead reckoning of tooltips combined with reliable reaction sequence design to ensure reliable results, hence a limited sensorium is no handicap ; similar considerations apply to the positional assembly of small nanoparts.

While Drexler, Merkle and others have created designs of simple parts, no comprehensive design effort for anything approaching the complexity of a Model T Ford has been attempted.
