HP-49G Plus - HP-49G Plus The HP-49G Plus is a calculator manufactured by Hewlett Packard. This calculator features an ARM 75Mhz chipset, SD memory options, a USB serial cable interface, amongst other improvements over previous versions. Issues and bugs There have been some issues regarding the 49G+. Initially there was a problem with battery life, but an upgrade of the system ROM has apparantly fixed that. Also, some people have reported that the keyboard has not been registering keypresses. The keypress issue has not been confimed and it is not publicly known if this is a major problem with the model. The current ROM version can be determined by the command VERSION. The most recent version at the time this was written was 1.22, which should report as: "Version HP-49C Revision.
HQ9 Plus - HQ9 Plus HQ9+ is a simple but elegant programming language that is very efficient for coding certain classes of computer programs. It has four commands, each represented by a single character: H, Q, 9, and + (hence the name). The H command prints out "Hello, world The Q command prints out a copy of the source code of the program (i.e., it's a quine). The 9 command prints out the lyrics for 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall. The + command increments the accumulator. An example HQ9+ program would be: "HHQ+HQ++" This program would output "Hello, world! Hello, world! HHQ+HQ++ Hello, world! HHQ+HQ++" as well as incrementing the accumulator three times. It is vacuously true that all useful programs written in HQ9+ run over twice as.
G17 Plus - G17 Plus G17 Plus is a political party in Serbia, consisting of former members of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia. Its core is a group of 17 economicists, and it functioned as a pressure group before it became a political party in 2003. It has 34 of the 250 seats in the Serbian National Assembly..
Vernor Vinge - belief that the technology required for such stories would push us past the singularity. Fire includes a large number of additional ideas making for an unusually complex and rich universe and story. A Deepness in the Sky (1999) was a prequel to Fire, following competing groups of humans in The Slow Zone as they struggle over who has the rights to exploit a technologically emerging alien culture. Deepness also won a Hugo Award. Vinge retired in 2002 from teaching at San Diego State University in order to write full-time. His ex-wife Joan D. Vinge is also an accomplished science fiction author. Bibliography Novels Grimm's World (1969), revised as Tatja Grimm's World (1987) The Witling (1976) The Peace War (1984) Marooned in Realtime (1986) (These two novels collected as Across Realtime.) A.
Katherine Mansfield - where there is a street named in her honour. A writer of short stories, Mansfield developed the techniques of Anton Chekhov in the genre. Much of her work reflects her New Zealand childhood. Bibliography: In a German Pension, 1911 Bliss, 1920 The Garden Party, 1922 plus numerous posthumous collections, letters and diaries.
Kara-Tur - year they gave the monsters for Kara-Tur a proper treatment for Second Edition Dungeons & Dragons in the Monsterous Compendium series. After 1990 Kara-Tur was a mostly discarded campaign setting. With only a few mentions in cross-over products such as Spelljammer & Ravenloft, plus a few mentions in other Forgotten Realms products & Dragon Magazine articles. With the release of Third Edition Dungeons & Dragons with new owners, Wizards of the Coast decided to do a proper treatement for Oriental Adventres. All new character classes, monsters, spells, weapons & feats, but this time with the campaign world being Rokugan the campagn setting for Legend of the Five Rings. Modules The Kara-Tur campaign setting inspired the following 8 modules (in chronological order): Swords of the Daimyo (1986) Night of the Seven Swords.
Kajukenbo - a reputation for teaching a lot of practical self-defense early, being a bit heavier on practical fighting technique than on the more meditative side of martial arts. Kajukenbo has many more grappling moves than regular kempo, plus this art is very brutal, it has a lot of joint breaking moves, and low blows. The workouts can easily get the heart rate up and last about two hours. This school of martial arts train with sandbags, boxing gloves, and every male student is given, as part of their uniform, a cup to protect the testicles..
Kamou, Aira, Kagoshima - place to be. The council is allowing all the rice land to be sold off to housing developers, chopping down trees and knocking down beautiful old houses. They actually sold one traditional house plus its garden only on the understanding that it would be demolished. Maybe it's good that the population is falling and Kamou will die..
Verner's law - all the data (or as close to the ideal as possible), not merely for a well-behaved subset of it. One classic example of PIE *t > PGmc *d is the word for 'father', PIE *pH2te:r (here *H2 stands for a laryngeal, and the colon marks vowel length) > PGmc *fade:r (instead of expected *faŝe:r). Curiously, the structurally similar family term *bhra:te:r 'brother' developed as predicted by Grimm?s Law (Gmc. *bro:ŝe:r). Even more curiously, we often find both *ŝ and *d as reflexes of PIE *t in different forms of one and the same root, e.g. *werŝ- 'turn', preterite *warŝ 'he turned', but e.g. preterite plural and past participle *wurd- (plus appropriate inflections). Karl Verner was the first scholar who put his finger on the factor governing the distribution of the two.
Vector processor - the process, so it required very specific data sets to work on before it actually sped anything up. The technique was first fully exploited in the famous Cray-1. Instead of leaving the data in memory like the Cyber and ASC, the Cray design had eight "vector registers" which held sixty-four 64-bit words each. The vector instructions were applied between registers, which is much faster than talking to main memory. In addition the design had completely separate pipelines for different instructions (plus was implemented in different hardware than minus for instance), allowing a batch of vector instructions themselves to be pipelined, a technique they called vector chaining. The Cray-1 normally had a performance of about 80 Mflops, but with up to three chains running it could peak at 240 Mflops â a.
Kernel (algebra) - 0W is the zero vector of W, then the kernel of T is the preimage of the singleton set {0W}; that is, the subset of V consisting of all those elements of V that are mapped by T to the element 0W. The kernel is usually denoted "ker T" (or a variation). In symbols: Since a linear transformation preserves zero vectors, the zero vector 0V of V must belong to the kernel. The transformation T is injective if and only if its kernel is only the singleton set {0V}. It turns out that ker T is always a subspace of V. Thus, it makes sense to speak of the quotient space V/(ker T). The first isomorphism theorem for vector spaces states that this quotient space is naturally isomorphic to the image.
Vertigo (movie) - Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. In 2002 it was chosen the second greatest film of all time (behind Citizen Kane) by the Sight & Sound critic's poll. Vertigo is notable for the first use of the "Hitchcock zoom", an in-camera perspective distortion special effect, created by Hitchcock to suggest the dizzying effect of disorientation that gives the film its title. Francois Truffaut suggested the novel d'Entre les Morts was specifically written for Hitchock by Boileau and Narcejac after Hitchcock was unable to buy the rights for their previous novel, Celle qui n'était plus, which was made into the movie Les Diaboliques. However, Narcejac has subsequently denied that this was their intention. After a year-long restoration effort by Robert Harris and James Katz, the film was re-released.
Kedah - a total area of 9,425 sq km, and consists mostly of flat areas growing rice, plus the island of Langkawi. The state's capital is Alor Setar. The state's population is mostly Malay, with significant Chinese and Indian minorities. Kedah has a long history; the Bujang Valley has remains of a Hindu-Buddhist kingdom that dates back to the 4th century, making it the oldest civilization of Peninsular Malaysia. The kingdom fell under the domination of Sumatra and then Thailand. The first sultan was Muzaffar Shah, who reigned from 1136 to 1179, and was followed by 27 others. At the end of the 18th century, the sultan at the time enlisted British assistance by ceding the island of Penang and then the coastal strip opposite the island, although Kedah was still captured by.
Kernal - of 1977, via the strongly related versions used in the successor 8-bit machines VIC-20, C64, Plus/4, C16, and C128, all the way to the completely different OS core in the 16-bit Amiga series. The KERNAL consisted of the OS routines and was user callable via a jump table. According to early Commodore 'myth' and reported by author Jim Butterfield among others, the word KERNAL is an acronym (or maybe more likely, a backronym) standing for Keyboard Entry Read, Network, And Link, which in fact makes good sense considering its role. There's also, however, a theory that the word got the way it is due to a misspelling of the word kernel by some unknown Commodore employee..
Khazars - Confucian ideas imported from China, notably that of the Mandate of Heaven. The Asena clan were considered to be the chosen of Tengri and the qaghan was the incarnation of the favor the sky-god bestowed on the Turks. A qaghan who failed had clearly lost the god's favor and was typically ritually executed. Historians have sometimes wondered, only half in jest, if the Khazar tendency to occasionally execute their rulers on religious grounds led those rulers to seek out other religions. At some point in the 8th century, the Khazar royalty and nobility adopted Judaism, and later part of the general population followed. In the 8th or 9th century, their king, Bulan, was converted to Judaism. A later king, Obadiah, strengthened Judaism, inviting rabbis into the kingdom and building synagogues. His.
KIM-1 - the 6530's was connected to two connectors on the edge of the board, where they could be used as a serial system for driving a terminal or paper tape. One of these connectors also doubled as the power supply connector, and included analog lines that could be attached to a cassette tape recorder. Earlier microcomputer systems such as the Altair 8800 used a series of switches on the front of the machine to enter data. In order to do anything useful, the user had to enter a small program known as the "bootstrap loader" into the machine using these switches, a process known as booting. Once loaded, the loader would be used to load a larger programs off of a storage device like paper tape. It would often take upwards of.
Kirtland Safety Society - Sidney Rigdon for illegal banking and issuing unauthorized bank paper. This trial was postponed until October. In the meantime, despite Joseph Smith's strong admonitions to the Kirtland community against speculation, the KSSABC failed due primarily to speculation and insolvency (most of the KSSABC reserves were tied up in land rather than liquid silver as some erroneously believed) as bank failures across the nation spread to Ohio. Joseph took out loans from other banks and sold personal property to shore up the KSSABC, but finally resigned from the KSSABC and disposed of his interests in it in early July. Parrish and Frederick G. Williams assumed management of the KSSABC from then on until it closed its doors in November with about $100,000 in unresolved debt and charged with the responsibility of winding.
