While the Thai State offers recourse in the courts to obtain satisfaction after the fact, Thai authorities, NGOs and others generally offer little or no protection in preventing hate speech.

While there is little scholarly debate about the existence of some of these differences, their causes remain highly controversial both within academia and in the public sphere.

While there he is said to have encountered a statue of Alexander the Great, and realized with dissatisfaction he was now at an age when Alexander had the world at his feet, while he had achieved comparatively little.

While the ports of Burlington, Vermont ; Port Henry, New York ; and Plattsburgh, New York are little used nowadays except by small craft, ferries and lake cruise ships, they had substantial commercial and military importance in the 18th and 19th centuries.

While the cow is in the care of Mac Cinnfhaelaidh's brother Mac Samthainn, Balor appears in the form of a little red-haired boy and tricks him into giving him the cow.

While earthquakes are common in British Columbia and adjacent coastal waters, most are minor in energy release or are sufficiently remote to have little effect on populated areas.

While in the beginning only Pashtuns were allowed to participate in the Jirgas, later other ethnic groups like Tajiks and Hazaras were allowed to participate as well, however they were little more than observers.

While little is known about Morocco settlement in these early times, excavations elsewhere in the Maghreb suggest an abundance of game and forests that would have been hospitable to Mesolithic hunters and gatherers.

While the single player tile matching game mahjong solitaire is familiar in the West, in Asia it is the four-player table version which holds predominance and has little in common with the solitaire version other than using the same tiles.

While of little interest to those outside the MUMPS / M community, this topic has been contentious there.

While the first is represented all over the rest of the country, the second, being represented only in this little part of Spain, is considered by some, especially in the mainland, to be foreign.

While Stalin had little faith in Japan's commitment to neutrality, he felt that the pact was important for its political symbolism, to reinforce a public affection for Germany.

While this loss of precision may be tolerable and viewed as a minor flaw of Algorithm I, it is easy to find data that reveal a major flaw in the naive algorithm: Take the sample to be ( 10 < sup > 9 </ sup > + 4, 10 < sup > 9 </ sup > + 7, 10 < sup > 9 </ sup > + 13, 10 < sup > 9 </ sup > + 16 ).

While the ULA would read the display from memory in the usual fashion, the SAA5050 would listen to the data it was reading and produce a mode 7 interpretation of the same information.

While some early calculators copied the manual method ( typically substituting polynomials for tabulated data ), computers use a different approach.

While scientists do not always agree on how to classify organisms, molecular phylogenetics, which uses DNA sequences as data, has driven many recent revisions along more efficient, evolutionary lines and is likely to continue to do so.

While modernist critical theory ( as described above ) concerns itself with “ forms of authority and injustice that accompanied the evolution of industrial and corporate capitalism as a political-economic system ,” postmodern critical theory politicizes social problems “ by situating them in historical and cultural contexts, to implicate themselves in the process of collecting and analyzing data, and to relativize their findings ” ( Lindlof & Taylor, 2002, p. 52 ).

The internal level, which is hidden inside the DBMS and depends on its implementation ( see Implementation section below ), requires a different level of detail and uses its own data structure types, typically different in nature from the structures of the external and conceptual levels which are exposed to DBMS users ( e. g., the data models above ): While the external and conceptual levels are focused on and serve DBMS users, the concern of the internal level is effective implementation details.

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 low-quality at first, consumer digital video increased rapidly in quality, first with the introduction of playback standards such as MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 ( adopted for use in television transmission and DVD media ), and then the introduction of the DV tape format allowing recording direct to digital data and simplifying the editing process, allowing non-linear editing systems ( NLE ) to be deployed cheaply and widely on desktop computers with no external playback / recording equipment needed.

While earlier versions of BIND offered no mechanism to store and retrieve zone data in anything other than flat text files, in 2007 BIND 9. 4 DLZ made available ( as a compile-time option ) zone storage in a variety of database formats including LDAP, Berkeley DB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and ODBC.

While the equation is definitely superior to the ideal gas law and does predict the formation of a liquid phase, the agreement with experimental data is limited for conditions where the liquid forms.

While users can insert data into the network, there is no way to delete data.

While it may be mathematically possible to construct such a system, it is not clear what additional explanatory power or physical insight such a system would provide, assuming that it does indeed accord with existing empirical data.

While there, Young compiled extensive data and made numerous recommendations, even persuading the Hondurans to hire a New York police lieutenant to reorganize their police forces.

* Error-correcting codes ( channel coding ): While data compression removes as much redundancy as possible, an error correcting code adds just the right kind of redundancy ( i. e., error correction ) needed to transmit the data efficiently and faithfully across a noisy channel.

While every representation must be implemented in the machine by some data structure, the representational property is in the correspondence to something in the world and in the constraint that

While data reduction ( compression, be it lossy or lossless ) is a main goal of transform coding, it also allows other goals: one may represent data more accurately for the original amount of space – for example, in principle, if one starts with an analog or high-resolution digital master, an MP3 file of a given size should provide a better representation than a raw uncompressed audio in WAV or AIFF file of the same size.

While, in principle, any general-purpose lossless compression algorithm ( general-purpose meaning that they can accept any bitstring ) can be used on any type of data, many are unable to achieve significant compression on data that are not of the form for which they were designed to compress.

While any of p < sub > 0 .. n </ sub > still point to data inside of L < sub > 0 .. n </ sub > instead of past the end:

While the underlying protocols and technologies are different, both MPLS and ATM provide a connection-oriented service for transporting data across computer networks.

While details of macroevolution are continuously studied by the scientific community, the overall theory behind macroevolution ( i. e. common descent ) has been overwhelmingly consistent with empirical data.
