Ride originally meant (and is so used                   throughout the English Bible) to be carried on                   horseback or in a vehicle of any kind.

Johnson seems to sanction this distinction by                   giving [bd]to travel on horseback[b8] as the leading                   sense of ride; though he adds [bd]to travel in a                   vehicle[b8] as a secondary sense. This latter use of                   the word still occurs to some extent; as, the queen                   rides to Parliament in her coach of state; to ride in                   an omnibus.                               [bd]Will you ride over or drive?[b8] said Lord                            Willowby to his quest, after breakfast that                            morning.                                       --W.

Specifically: The act or business of exchanging             commodities by barter, or by buying and selling for money;             commerce; traffic; barter.          Note: Trade comprehends every species of exchange or dealing,                either in the produce of land, in manufactures, in                bills, or in money; but it is chiefly used to denote                the barter or purchase and sale of goods, wares, and                merchandise, either by wholesale or retail. Trade is                either foreign or domestic. Foreign trade consists in                the exportation and importation of goods, or the                exchange of the commodities of different countries.                Domestic, or home, trade is the exchange, or buying and                selling, of goods within a country. Trade is also by                the wholesale, that is, by the package or in large                quantities, generally to be sold again, or it is by                retail, or in small parcels. The carrying trade is the                business of transporting commodities from one country                to another, or between places in the same country, by                land or water.          5. The business which a person has learned, and which he             engages in, for procuring subsistence, or for profit;             occupation; especially, mechanical employment as             distinguished from the liberal arts, the learned             professions, and agriculture; as, we speak of the trade of             a smith, of a carpenter, or mason, but not now of the             trade of a farmer, or a lawyer, or a physician.                         Accursed usury was all his trade.      --Spenser.                         The homely, slighted, shepherd's trade. --Milton.                         I will instruct thee in my trade.      --Shak.          6. Instruments of any occupation. [Obs.]                         The house and household goods, his trade of war.                                                                               --Dryden.          7. A company of men engaged in the same occupation; thus,             booksellers and publishers speak of the customs of the             trade, and are collectively designated as the trade.          8. pl. The trade winds.          9. Refuse or rubbish from a mine. [Prov. Eng.]          Syn: Profession; occupation; office; calling; avocation;                employment; commerce; dealing; traffic.          {Board of trade}. See under {Board}.          {Trade dollar}. See under {Dollar}.          {Trade price}, the price at which goods are sold to members             of the same trade, or by wholesale dealers to retailers.                      {Trade sale}, an auction by and for the trade, especially             that of the booksellers.          {Trade wind}, a wind in the torrid zone, and often a little             beyond at, which blows from the same quarter throughout             the year, except when affected by local causes; -- so             called because of its usefulness to navigators, and hence             to trade.          Note: The general direction of the trade winds is from N. E.                to S. W. on the north side of the equator, and from S.                E. to N. W. on the south side of the equator. They are                produced by the joint effect of the rotation of the                earth and the movement of the air from the polar toward                the equatorial regions, to supply the vacancy caused by                heating, rarefaction, and consequent ascent of the air                in the latter regions. The trade winds are principally                limited to two belts in the tropical regions, one on                each side of the equator, and separated by a belt which                is characterized by calms or variable weather.

third generation computer          A computer built with small-scale integration       {integrated circuits}, designed after the mid-1960s.          Third generation computers use {semiconductor} memories in       addition to, and later instead of, {ferrite core memory}.   The       two main types of semiconductor memory are {Read-Only Memory}       (ROM) and read-and-write memories called {Random Access       Memory} (RAM).          A technique called {microprogramming} became widespread and       simplified the design of the {CPU}s and increased their       flexibility.   This also made possible the development of       {operating systems} as {software} rather than as hard-wiring.          A variety of techniques for improving processing efficiency       were invented, such as {pipelining}, (parallel operation of       {functional units} processing a single instruction), and       {multiprocessing} (concurrent execution of multiple programs).          As the execution of a program requires that program to be in       memory, the concurrent running of several programs requires       that all programs be in memory simultaneously.   Thus the       development of techniques for concurrent processing was       matched by the development of {memory management} techniques       such as {dynamic memory allocation}, {virtual memory}, and       {paging}, as well as {compilers} producing {relocatable code}.          The {LILLIAC IV} is an example of a third generation computer.          The CTSS ({Compatible Time-Sharing System}) was developed at       {MIT} in the early 1960s and had a considerable influence on       the design of subsequent timesharing operating systems.          An interesting contrasting development in this generation was       the start of mass production of small low-cost       "{minicomputers}".
