Galician - Modern Galician is seen by many (mainly in Portugal) as a dialect of Portuguese. The Encylopedia Britannica says it is a Portuguese dialect spoken in northwestern Spain, often incorrectly considered a dialect of Spanish. For the Instituto da Lingua Galega, Galego is a Romance Language which belongs to the group of Ibero-Romantic Languages. However, in some aspects the Portuguese dialects are more conservative than the Galician ones, which for the most part lost the voiced fricatives /z/, /v/, etc. It is understood by most of the people in Galicia and among the many Galician immigrants in the rest of Spain (Madrid, Biscay), Iberoamerica (Buenos Aires) and Europe. For some authors, the situation of language domination in Galicia could be called "diglossia", with Galician in the lower part of the continuum and.
Talking to Americans - However, the prime minister's name (back then) was Jean Chrétien; poutine is a French-Canadian fast food dish of french fries and cheese curd, and also was potentially inspired by recent jokes about Russian president Vladimir Putin who has a similar name. Also, Chrétien had not endorsed any candidate at the time and, in any event, it does not behoove the head of a neighboring country's government to take such a stand regarding U.S. presidential races. Bush's opponent, Vice President Al Gore, also fell victim to Mercer, when he was asked about the Canadian capital Toronto (it is actually Ottawa).

Crop circle - people want to believe supernatural explanations for phenomena that are not yet explained. Methods to create a hoaxed crop circles have been well-documented on the Internet. A counter argument to hoaxing is that circles often appears in crops mature-enough that they carry seeds, seed-pods are unbroken, whereas trampling causes seed-pod breakage. Crop circle hoaxers counter that it is easy to leave dry seed pods unbroken during stomping and also leave no trace of entrance and egress trampling when the plants and ground are both dry and some care is taken while walking. Several crop circles that were later to have been determined to be hoaxes were at first certified as being genuine by cerealogists due the lack of seed pod breakage. Farmers are not very happy with crop circles, as they.
Commodore 64 - sound cards for PCs). For all others than special enthusiasts, however, the C64 lost its top position when the 16-bit Atari ST and Commodore Amiga were released in the mid-80s. Description The C64 used an 8-bit 6510 microprocessor (a close derivative of the 6502 which had the ability to bank-switch the machine's ROM in and out of the processor's address space) and had 64 kilobytes of RAM, of which 38 KB were available to BASIC. In the UK, the C64 rivalled the British-built Sinclair ZX Spectrum in popularity, benefitting from a full-sized full-travel keyboard and more advanced graphics and sound chips. The graphics chip, VIC II, featured 16 colors, eight sprites, scrolling capabilities, and two bitmap graphics modes. The standard text mode featured 40 columns, like most Commodore PET models.

Victor Cousin - cherished collection of a lifetime. He died at Cannes on the 13th of January 1867, in his sixty-fifth year. In the front of the Sorbonne, below the lecture rooms of the faculty of letters, a tablet records an extract from his will, in which he bequeaths his noble and cherished library to the halls of his professorial work and triumphs. Philosophy There are three distinctive points in Cousin's philosophy. These are his method, the results of his method, and the application of the method and its results to history,--especially to the history of philosophy. It is usual to speak of his philosophy as eclecticism. It is eclectic only in a secondary and subordinate sense. All eclecticism that is not self-condemned and inoperative implies a system of doctrine as its basis,--in fact,.
A Portuguesa - A Portuguesa A Portuguesa is the national anthem of Portugal. It was written by Henrique Lopes de Mendonça (lyrics) and Alfredo Keil (music) after the nationalist ressurgence provoked by the British Ultimatum (for Portuguese troops to get out of the territory between Angola and Mozambique), was adopted as a Republican anthem and, finally, by the new Portuguese Republic in 1910 as National Anthem, replacing O Hino da Carta, the last anthem of the Constitutional Monarchy in Portugal. A Portuguesa translates to "The Portuguese" in the sense of "song of Portugal" just as La Marseillaise, the national anthem of France, translates to "the song of Marseille" and the Belgian anthem, La Brabançonne translates to "the song of Brabant."

TECO - TECO's then-sophisticated searching operations were motivated by the fact that the offline Flexowriter printouts were not line-numbered; therefore editing locations needed to be specified by context rather than by line number. The various looping and conditional constructs (which made TECO Turing-complete) were included in order to provide sufficient descriptive power for the correction tape. The terse syntax minimized the amount of keystrokes needed to prepare the correction tape. It was all nonsense, of course, because the correction tape was, in fact a program, and required debugging just like any other program. The pitfalls of even the simplest global search-and-replace soon became evident. In practice, TECO editing was performed online just as it had been with Expensive Typewriter. TECO was available for several operating systems, including ITS on the PDP-6 and PDP-10,.
Area code - xxxx: Edinburgh (0)13 82xx xxxx: Dundee, a typical area code History Area codes were first introduced in 1958, allowing a caller to call another telephone direct instead of via a manual telephone exchange, a process known as Subscriber Trunk Dialling (STD), although the process was not completed until 1979. The four-digit codes were originally assigned based on the first three letters of the respective place's name and the corresponding numbers on a telephone keypad. For example Aylesbury was given the STD code (0)296, where the letter (a) can be found on the number 2, the letter (y) on the number 9 and the letter (l) on the number 6. However as more and more places were given STD codes this system became unworkable. In May 1990, growth of phone numbers in.
AS/400 Command Language - (Three Letter Acronyms) 6.2 Command Grouping Menus 6.3 Command Selection Commands and programs Parameters (aka arguments) defined in the main procedures of all traditional AS/400 programs are hard coded lists that are be made up of parameters that can be numeric, alphanumeric, boolean, etc and the order in which parameters are passed is important. This is a stark difference from the Unix & DOS words where the parameter list in Unix shell scripts and C programs is a set or array of character pointers and more often than not the parameters are not positionally dependent. The AS/400 developer's solution to this problem was the command object (*CMD). Each parameter is definied to be passed in a specific order. The programmer can also define, among other things, the parameter's data type, unique.

Microsoft on the development of DOS. 1980 - June Commodore released the VIC-20, which had 3.5k of usable memory and was based on the 6502 processor. Magazines became available which contained the code for various utilities and games. A 5.25 inch disk drive was available, along with a cassette storage system which used standard audio cassette tapes. Also available were a number of games, a color plotter which printed on 6" wide paper tape, a graphics tablet (the Koala pad). A TV screen served as monitor. The VIC-20 became the first computer to sell 1.
Simon's Rock College - you can't make students call you "professor" or "doctor." People don't refer to the dean as "Dr. Bernard Rodgers." He's Bernie. Classes are small. Class sizes do not exceed 17 students, usually have no more than 15, and average around 12. It isn't unheard of to have a class with as few as 4 students. Learning is much better facilitated, of course. Students interact with each other and the professor more. There's no such thing as sleeping in the back of a huge lecture hall at Simons' Rock. Classes are discussion-oriented. Professors do not have a monopoly on knowledge. All participants in the class can learn from each other. Professors do not (and should not) lecture most of the time; they should facilitate and guide discussion. Classes occur mainly around tables..
Lemmings (computer game) - with poor gameplay, had its greatest success in Lemmings. The game was unique and based around concepts previously untried. The player had to guide a group of up to 100 lemmings home by telling individual lemmings to climb, explode, build, block, dig, bash, and mine. (The "lemmings" of the game — small, green-haired beings that mindlessly walk en masse into any danger in their path — are not the same as real-life lemmings, although they were named for the popular myth that real lemmings behave in a similar fashion.) The popularity of the game on the Amiga led to its rapid porting to other platforms including, Acorn, Amstrad CPC, Atari Lynx, Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS, Gameboy, Macintosh, NES, OS/2, SAM Coupé, Sega Genesis, SNES, Windows, Sony Playstation and even the.

List of computer term etymologies - originally named 'Googol', a word for the number represented by 1 followed by 100 zeros. The word was originally invented by a mathematician's son during a discussion of large numbers and exponential notation. After founders - Stanford grad students Sergey Brin and Larry Page presented their project to an angel investor, they received a cheque made out to 'Google' ! Hotmail - free email service, now part of MSN. Founder Jack Smith got the idea of accessing e-mail via the web from a computer anywhere in the world. When Sabeer Bhatia came up with the business plan for the mail service, he tried all kinds of names ending in 'mail' and finally settled for hotmail as it included the letters "html" - the markup language used to write web pages. It.
