History of computing — Tenth Test Post

Mechanical analog computer devices appeared again a thousand years later in the medieval Islamic world and were developed by Muslim astronomers, such as the mechanical geared astrolabe by Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī,[10] and the torquetum by Jabir ibn Aflah.[11] According to Simon Singh, Muslim mathematicians also made important advances in cryptography, such as the development of cryptanalysis and frequency analysis by Alkindus.[12][13] Programmable machines were also invented by Muslim engineers, such as the automatic flute player by the Banū Mūsā brothers,[14] and Al-Jazari’s humanoid robots[citation needed] and castle clock, which is considered to be the first programmable analog computer.

Unix and Bell Labs — Ninth Test Pots

The history of Unix dates back to the mid-1960s when the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, AT&T Bell Labs, and General Electric were jointly developing an experimental time sharing operating system called Multics for the GE-645 mainframe.[1] Multics introduced many innovations, but had many problems.

The Connection Between Unix and C — Eight Test Post

One of Bell Laboratories people involved in the project was Ken Thompson. He liked the potential MULTICS had, but felt it was too complex and that the same thing could be done in simpler way. In 1969 he wrote the first version of Unix, called UNICS. UNICS stood for Uniplexed Operating and Computing System. Although the operating system has changed, the name stuck and was eventually shortened to Unix.

History of Unix — Seventh Test Post

Unix was written in a machine independent language. So Unix and unix-like operating systems can run on a variety of hardware. These systems are available from many different sources, some of them at no cost. Because of this diversity and the ability to utilize the same “user-interface” on many different systems, Unix is said to be an open system.

Sixth Test Post — History of Unix

The Unix operating system found its beginnings in MULTICS, which stands for Multiplexed Operating and Computing System. The MULTICS project began in the mid 1960s as a joint effort by General Electric, Massachusetts Institute for Technology and Bell Laboratories. In 1969 Bell Laboratories pulled out of the project.

This One is The Fourth Test Post

All they have to do is watch the (auto playing) video, which means that almost all of them will. After watching the demo, the potential customer is (hopefully) sold or at least interested in the product. At this point, they might be willing to go through the steps of installing a trial version or even buy it.

It is The Third Test Post

Several application developers have added in-webpage video demos of their programs. I’m surprised that not everyone has done so. Instead of asking a potential customer to download a trial version (or worse, to just buy it) and then install it, this approach lets them see what it’s like to use the application without any effort on their part. While more complex programs can’t be completely demonstrated in a short clip, it can still give viewers a sense of how easy it is to use, how quickly it operates etc.
