The Roberts Court seems to be the most politically conservative in living memory.
{i} recall; recollection; saved mental impression; reminder; fastest and chief area for information storage in a computer (Computers)
Memory is like a huge bank of little post office boxes The computer can store and retrieve information from these little boxes Each box is numbered sequentially, starting from zero, and can hold one byte We think of bytes as having a value between zero and 255, but in reality memory just holds tiny electronic charges which must be maintained by the computer As a result, when the computer is turned off, everything in memory is deleted That's why we also have storage
works like a blackboard that is constantly overwritten with new data The data stored in memory disappears when you turn off the computer The amount of memory determines the number of programs a computer can run at once and how fast programs will operate Memory is measured in bytes, computers should have at least 8 MB, but 16 MB is recommended for todays software
The time within which past events can be or are remembered; as, within the memory of man
The part of a computer in which data is stored The basic operating program for the computer is stored in a read-only memory (ROM), which can be read, but cant be altered Instructions and data for processing are stored in the random-access memory (RAM), which can be read, but also be added to, changed, or deleted
We speak of a computerÃs storage capacity as its memory, but also its capacity to hold information open whilst in use See bytes, RAM and ROM
Internal storage areas in the computer The term memory identifies data storage that comes in the form of chips, and the word storage is used for memory that exists on tapes or disks Moreover, the term memory is usually used as a shorthand for physical memory, which refers to the actual chips capable of holding data Some computers also use virtual memory, which expands physical memory onto a hard disk Every computer comes with a certain amount of physical memory, usually referred to as main memory or RAM You can think of main memory as an array of boxes, each of which can hold a single byte of information A computer that has 1 megabyte of memory, therefore, can hold about 1 million bytes (or characters) of information
If you talk about the memory of someone who has died, especially someone who was loved or respected, you are referring to the thoughts, actions, and ceremonies by which they are remembered. She remained devoted to his memory The congress opened with a minute's silence in memory of those who died in the struggle
Memory is where data is stored On the TI-85, the main memory is the built-in 32K of RAM This memory is composed of one-byte sections, each with a unique address See also the Data and Memory lesson
The faculty of the mind by which it retains the knowledge of previous thoughts, impressions, or events
A computer's random-access memory Memory temporarily holds data and instructions for the CPU See RAM
A computer's memory is the part of the computer where information is stored, especially for a short time before it is transferred to disks or magnetic tapes. The data are stored in the computer's memory
The reach and positiveness with which a person can remember; the strength and trustworthiness of one's power to reach and represent or to recall the past; as, his memory was never wrong
Also called main memory The working space used by the computer to hold the program that is currently running, along with the data it needs, and to run programs and process data The main memory is built from RAM chips The amount of memory available determines the size of programs that can be run, and whether more than one program can be run at once Main memory is temporary, and is lost when the computer is turned off It is distinguished from more permanent internal memory (ROM) which contains the computer's essential programs, and storage (the disks and tapes which are used to store data)
the power of retaining and recalling past experience; "he had a good memory when he was younger"
