The adaptive algorithm is disabled and the external monitor can be controlled by hotkeys or the Lunar UI. Custom hotkeys can be set for brightness, contrast and volume and the brightness and volume keys on the Apple keyboard work out of the box. A modern take on the classic arcade game, Lunar Lander, Lunar Flight extends the experience to a fully fictionalized and accessible lunar module simulator providing a variety of mission types involving transporting cargo, acquiring data at survey locations and locating lost cargo.
Moom: Bringing order to chaos since 2011
Moom makes window management as easy as clicking a mouse button—or using a keyboard shortcut, if you're one of those types of people.
With Moom, you can easily move and zoom windows to half screen, quarter screen, or fill the screen; set custom sizes and locations, and save layouts of opened windows for one-click positioning. Once you've tried Moom, you'll wonder how you used your Mac without it.
Pop-up positioning
Kates dream mac os. Hover the mouse over any window's green button, and Moom's pop-up palette appears.
Quickly fill the screen, or move and resize to vertical or horizontal halves on screen edges. Want quarter-size windows instead? Hold down the Option key, and the palette presents four quarter-size corner options, along with 'center without resizing.'
Resizing isn't a drag…
Actually, it is a drag, using Moom's unique on-screen resizing grid.
Click in the empty box below the pop-up palette, move the mouse to where you'd like the window to be, then click-and-drag out its new dimensions.
Release the mouse button, and the window will fill the outline you've drawn on the screen.
…it's a snap!
Want to quickly move and zoom windows to certain areas of the screen? Just enable Moom's Snap to Edges and Corners feature.
Grab a window, drag it to an edge or corner, and release the mouse. You can set the resizing action for each location in Moom's preferences.
Save and restore window layouts
Set up a collection of windows in the size and locations you wish, then save the layout. Restore the layout via an assigned hot key or via Moom's menus.
This feature is particularly useful if you use a laptop with an external display—Moom can trigger saved layouts on addition or removal of displays.
No mouse required
Don't worry, keyboard users—Moom isn't just for those who prefer using a mouse. Enable keyboard control, and you can move, resize, center, use the on-screen grid, and much more—all without touching the mouse.
In addition, every custom Moom command—keep reading!—can be assigned a global keyboard shortcut, or one that works only when the keyboard controller is onscreen.
Countless custom commands
Wasd (ledwan) mac os. Create and save often-used Moom actions to a menu of custom commands—complete with optional dividers and labels.
Moving, zooming, resizing, centering, even moving to other displays—all are doable via custom commands. You can even create a sequence of commands tied to one shortcut, easing complex move and sizing operations.
But wait, there's more!
- Use Moom as a normal Dock-based app, as an icon in the menu bar, or as a completely invisible background app.
- Access custom commands through the Moom menu bar icon, through the green button's pop-up palette, or via keyboard shortcuts.
- Use a small hexagonal grid for grid resizing, instead of the full-screen virtual grid.
- Move windows across displays—and with chained commands, zoom them to new sizes and locations while moving.
- Display a keyboard cheat sheet that shows what tasks you've assigned to which keys in keyboard mode.
- Resize windows to precise dimensions—perfect for checking how well things fit in windows of varying sizes.
How Powerful Was the Apollo 11 Computer?
I got to thinking, how powerful was the computer that took Man to the Moon back in 1969? How does the Apollo computer compare to the iPhone? Joes wrath (itch) mac os. (Who wants to go to the Moon, anyway?)
It turns out that's a tough comparison to make, as the simplest of iPhones is so advanced compared to the technology used in Apollo's guidance system that it's hard to believe they both came from the same planet, and we can be pretty sure that we're dealing with some really archaic hardware.
Lunar Mission Mac Os X
Indeed, those Big Machines were nothing short of amazing. Comparing the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) to an IBM PC XT. Did you know that the 8088 which formed the basis for the IBM PC, released in 1981, just a decade after Apollo 11's trip to the Moon, had eight times more memory than Apollo's Guidance Computer (16k, vs the Apollo's 2k). The IBM PC XT ran at a dizzying clock speed of 4.077MHz. That's 0.004077 GHz. The Apollo's Guidance Computer was a snail-like 1.024 MHz in comparison, and it's external signaling was half that.
Internally, the architecture of 8086 had 8 16-bit registers available to work with. It could keep track of eight registers, the Apollo Guidance Computer held just four.
The most amazing part that will blow you away isn't so much the hardware, as the software they used to get to the Moon. In fact, the real-time operating system in the Apollo 11 spacecraft could multi-task eight jobs at a time, something we take entirely for granted today, but no small feat for the time it was developed. The cellar (itch) mac os.
Multi-tasking however, wasn't quite as we now think of it. Our operating systems use pre-emptive -multitasking, where the operating system itself is in control of the execution and can stop any program at any time. The AGC relied on non-pre-emptive multi-tasking, whereby programs had to relinquish control back to the OS periodically.
The Apollo system also implemented a virtual machine which offered more complex instructions, and could be used to perform more advanced mathematics. For its time, this was way-out stuff in 2k of memory and 32k of storage. The OS managed transition between native instructions and the instruction set of the virtual machine, which let developers mix and match the hardware level instructions with the virtual instructions within the same assembler code.
Even more, the Apollo 11 was actually the advanced 'Block II' version of the AGC – the earlier missions had relied upon as little as 24k of core read-only storage, and only 1k of main memory!
And what about interface? The AGC was way switches and blinking lights, and every command was entered in a combination of 'verb noun pairs', which would be input as numbers. These numbers were translated into English on a painted sign in the spacecraft.
The Apollo Guidance Computer had only one error message, and when it flashed, it meant the real end was near. Cyber lover mac os. On the Apollo 11 mission a 1201 error, and then a 1202 flashed causing enormous concern on the lander and back on Earth, after the spaceship crew had mistakenly left one radar system on, while the landing crew used a second system to determine the distance to the ground. The computer was taking in too much data to function, and left the crew in the lurch.
So, when you think about all those amazing manned missions to the Moon, and what it took to get there, keep in mind that had the complexities of the eventual AGC been understood when the NASA team began to design it, they likely never would have started, as they would have considered the computer far outside the available technology of the day.
We take interplanetary travel for granted today. The value of life mac os. One day Man is going to do the same with interstellar travel. And people will smile just looking at today's iPhones and iPads, so obsolete and so out-of-date toys the Humans had to deal with to communicate.
