Continuous obsolescence or perpetual revolution is a phenomenon where industry trends, or other items that do not immediately correspond to technical needs, mandate a continual readaptation of a system such work does not increase the usefulness of the system, but is required for the system to continue fulfilling its functions. ref name googbook AntiPatterns refactoring software, architectures, and projects in crisis. Brown, William J. 1998, Wiley. P 69 ref Unintentional reasons Continuous obsolescence may be unintentional. One type of largely unintentional case of continuous obsolescence occurs when the rising demand for graphics and experience intensive videogame s collides with a long development time for a new title while a game may have been acceptable or even revolutionary if released on schedule, a delay exposes it to the risk of being unable to compete with better games released during the delay e.g. Daikatana , or even being continually rewritten to take advantage of better technologies as they become available e.g. Duke Nukem Forever . This last behavior is an example of a software development anti pattern . Intentional reasons Continuous obsolescence may also be intentional, for example when an application tries to include compatibility for the output of another widely used application. In this case, the software house responsible for the latter may vary its output format repeatedly, forcing the developer of the former to continuously expend resources to keep its compatibility up to date, rather than using those resources to expand features or otherwise make the product more competitive. Many accuse Microsoft of doing exactly this with the file formats used by its Microsoft Office Office application suite. ref cite web url http life of brian.com 2008 12 so you ..., XLSX, PPTX, etc ?

The SVD is designed to be attached to an old computer such as a TRS 80 or a computer of the Apple II family. Disk image Images of Floppy disks are uploaded to the SVD through a personal computer s RS 232 serial port . The SVD presents these images as physical floppies to the old computer, allowing it to be booted or to otherwise run old software. The SVD, which is used mostly by retrocomputing enthusiasts, provides a mechanism by which archived software can be reliably and easily loaded on the old computer equipment, aiding in the process of Digital obsolescence restoring and using it .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date February 2009 Rocking and rolling also rock and roll is a name for cueing techniques used in sound recording and video video recording , particularly in analog recording s. In sound recording, the reels of an reel to reel tape recorder open reel tape machine were rocked and rolled by turning them back and forth by hand, to cue recordings for playback, and especially for editing, which was done by cutting and splicing the tape. With the passing of reel to reel tape recording into obsolescence, the technique is now scarcely used. In video recording, video segments and programs are similarly cued by turning one or more knobs back and forth, on the panel of a recording deck or edit controller, until the desired points are located and set. Analog video on tape is also largely obsolete, although some digital interfaces continue to use cueing knobs, or their virtual equivalents.

How it works Other slower but more rugged forms of VSB include 2VSB , 4VSB , and 8VSB . 16VSB is capable of twice the data capacity of 8VSB while 8VSB delivers 19.39 Mbit s Megabits per second in a 6 MHz television communications channel channel , 16VSB could deliver 38.78 Mbit s, while making the sacrifice of being more prone to transmission error. History While 8VSB is the ATSC Standards ATSC digital broadcast modulation format used in the United States and Canada , 16VSB was planned for cable distribution. 16VSB is about twice as susceptible to signal noise noise , therefore less suitable than 8VSB for Broadcasting broadcast , but well suited to the signal to noise ratio of hybrid fiber coax distribution, allowing twice as much programming in a 6 MHz channel.

Unreferenced date August 2009 The net domestic product NDP equals the gross domestic product GDP minus depreciation on a country s capital economics capital goods. Net domestic product accounts for capital that has been consumed over the year in the form of housing, vehicle, or machinery deterioration. The depreciation accounted for is often referred to as capital consumption allowance and represents the amount of capital that would be needed to replace those depreciated assets. Thus, NDP estimates how much the country has to spend to maintain the current GDP. If the country is not able to replace the capital stock lost through depreciation, then GDP will fall. In addition, a growing gap between GDP and NDP indicates increasing obsolescence of capital goods, while a narrowing gap means that the condition of capital stock in the country is improving.net domestic product is calculated by NDP GDP Depreciation. NDP is the sum total of money value of final goods and services produced in a country on an accounting year excluding depreciation cost.

Cold blast , in ironmaking, refers to a furnace where air is not preheated before being blown into the furnace. This represents the earliest stage in the development of ironmaking. Until the 1820s, the use of cold air was thought to be preferable to hot air for the production of high quality iron this effect was due to the reduced moisture in cool winter air. ref name bart Bartholomew, pp. 15 17. ref The discovery by James Beaumont Neilson in about 1825 of the beneficial effects of the hot blast led to the rapid obsolescence of cold blast ironworks in Great Britain , where hot blast was in general use by 1835. ref name bart Cold blast ironworks survived longer in the United States , but the use of hot blast as a method of smelting iron with anthracite was introduced in 1836, and the increasing US production of coke fuel coke gradually drove out the cold blast furnaces.
