... parties begin communicating. While
one party types the other party reads. Unfortunately, TDD machines only
have half-duplex capabilities. This means that only one person at a time
can type. On that account, people who use TDD machines use letters that
represent word-signals, which aid in the process of keeping the
conversation flowing. For instance, when one person says, “Hello, this is
Mike,” he uses the letter GA, which stands for, go ahead, to signal to the

... the key and the airbag
will deactivate. Car owners have also had the airbag flat out removed from
the car. Car buyers also just plain avoid buying cars with a passenger
side airbag. Seatbelts, however, cannot be avoided. In the state of
Pennsylvania it is illegal to ride in an automobile without wearing a

... and layout of the various languages are very diverse between
some, and between others are somewhat similar. When programming in Basic the
user has to type in line numbers before each new line of code. In an updated
version of Basic called QBasic, numbers are optional. Turbo pascal does not
