That is it. All known computers can be put in one of those categories. Some may argue that a neural net computer (like the human brain) defines a fourth type of computer, but even that really is a hybrid.

Which cable connector type commonly supports both digital and analog video signals?
Both common 'TV Coax' and 'Type F' cable connectors are commonly used to support both digital and analog video signals. Plain TV coax connectors (male and female) can easily be taken apart by anyone without having to use any tools, so they are commonly used for making simple cable connections for tv antennas and digital tv set-top boxes. Type F (male and female) connectors use screw threads so that, by using simple tools such as wrenches and/or hand pliers, they can be tightened-up too hard to be loosened and disconnected by hand. That is why Type F connectors are regularly used for making signal connections for cable and satellite tv systems and for computer broadband cable systems.
Why were input devices invented?
Without input devices, the only way to reprogram computers would be to pull them apart and rewire them. In modern computers with integrated circuits that would be impossible. Input devices, such as keyboards, make it much easier to reprogram computers with new instructions and/or data.
What can be tested with a digital multimeter?
No. You must use a ground (earth) resistance tester, such as a earth-resistance megger. Apart from the practical requirements for making the test (too long to explain in this answer), a digital multimeter uses a DC supply, which acts to polarise the chemicals in the soil, giving false readings. ANSWER: YES you can but only if there is appreciable Resistance to measure. THERE ARE MANY GROUNDS EARTH IS ONE OF THEM

What attitude and character do you think you have that sets you apart from the rest of who are applying for this study grant?
If you are applying for this study grant, YOU should think what sets YOU apart, and write about it. It just doesn't make sense to gather, and list, a number of reasons that set OTHER people apart.
Why are digital computers popular?
Well it is kind of simple really but digital has better graphics and says to run faster.The reason is simple: ease of programmingDigital computers can be programmed by writing code, which can be reloaded at any time.Analog computers usually have to be "taken apart and rewired" to be programmed.In fact, when built with the same technology, Analog computers are always faster than Digital computers at solving the same problem. However Analog computers have not been built since the 1980s (and then only for special purposes) so Analog computing technology now lags Digital computing technology by several decades.
What is the difference between analog computers - digital computers - and hybrid computers - give examples of each type?
Analog computers are also called continuous computers, as there are no discontinuities in their computations. A mechanical analog computer might represent variables by rotation rate of shafts, any given shaft can rotate at any speed and will smoothly accelerate or decelerate its rotation as the calculation proceeds. An electronic analog computer might represent variables by voltages, say any voltage between -20VDC and +20VDC with voltages smoothly varying as the calculation proceeds.Bush differential analyzer at MIT, electromechanical, 1929.Norden bombsight, electromechanical, 1930s through 1960s (used in WW2, Korea, and Vietnam!).Various commercial electronic differential analyzers sold from 1950s through 1970s, electronic.Murray/Walker simultaneous equation solver, electronic, 1949.Vacuum operated cruise control in cars, mechanical/pneumatic.Resistor/capacitor 3D mesh water table models, electronic.etc.Digital computers on the other hand have discontinuous states that they jump from one to another.ABC: Atanasoff-Berry Computer, simultaneous equation solver, 1942ENIAC, late 1945UNIVAC IIBM 700 and 7000 seriesDEC VAXDesktops and laptopsBoth of the computers in your cellphoneetc.Hybrid computers are simply computer systems that combine both analog and digital computers together. Usually the digital computer controls the analog computer, reconfiguring it and entering new data each time the analog computer completes one problem, to have it solve a different one.Most were custom "one off" systems built by individual labs or universities by buying a standard COTS digital computer and a standard COTS electronic analog computer, and customizing them to work together as needed.One example of such a machine used a DEC minicomputer and an analog computer to model heat flow from a nuclear reactor fuel rod to circulating coolant. The analog computer was programmed on its plugboard to do a rapid solution through a single radial slice of the system, the digital computer was programmed to enter new parameters into the analog computer for each slice starting at the coolant entrance end of the fuel rod and collect and record the results of each slice. The machine could solve the problem to adequate accuracy much faster and more cheaply than an all digital system or all analog system of the time period.
How is analog computers are more powerful then digital computers?
Digital computer uses discretely coded numbers or symbols (typically in binary, although other codings like decimal and trinary have been used in certain machines). Changes in value are sudden jumps by at least the smallest representable value. Digital computers can incorporate error detecting and/or correcting circuits.Analog computer uses continuously varying signals. Changes in value are smooth and continuous. Analog computers drift with temperature, voltage, component aging, etc. and are very sensitive to noise; any of which can cause undetectable errors.
The pstn consists exclusively of analog links?
False - Apart from Analogue, it also includes Digital, Cellular and VOIP (Where a VOIP call has to tranverse the public network to reach a standard/cell telephone.)
Will your tv sound better with a optical cable?
The answer depends on a number of factors. Firstly, it depends on what the original audio source is. If the source is an analog one, connected via RCA or phono connectors, then a digital optical audio input may be an improvement. In most cases, video equipment today uses a digital source so the audio will be in a digital form until it is converted to analog and fed to the RCA connectors. If an optical link is used, the digital data is preserved until it reaches the amplifier inside the television where it is converted to analog. The analog conversion always happens somewhere before the sound is delivered to the speakers so it is impossible to keep the sound in a digital form all the way through the signal chain. Although digital audio has been hailed as a way of improving quality, the quality loss in a pair of RCA cables is minimal so telling the two apart will be difficult or impossible in most situations. If an optical link is being considered as an alternative to HDMI, there is no benefit of any kind. Both carry audio as a digital signal so there will be no difference in quality. Both will be converted to analog for amplification and until that time, the signal data will be identical, regardless of the route it takes. Note: Audiophiles will say that digital audio data can be affected by the type of cable or optical link used or by the cable used for analog links. These claims have not been proven or dis-proven. The answer above ignores claims of this type as the effects are so minimal that most are unable to be measured by any conventional test equipment.
Could a laptop mouse conflict with the mouse on a PC?
If her mouse is wireless and your computers are close together, yes. Move computers farther apart.
What are the benefits of using Vaio computers over Mac computers?
Vaio computers have the Windows software and the parts for these computers are cheap to replace when something falls apart. Mac computers are more expensive to replace parts on. There are also some programs that are not offered on Mac but are offered on PC.

Can nook color get a virus?
Any digital thing (apart from watches and stuff like that) can get virus' if your not careful
Apart from Sony which companies use the Sony Digital 8 format?
Digital 8 is only being produced by Sony, which doesn't appear to be making any plans for new Digital 8 cameras. Hitachi had Digital 8 camcorders, but doesn't carry them any more.
How does the digital clock impact the environment?
well personaly, i dont believe that it has any enviromental impact, apart from production....!
Are compression springs used in a computer?
"Yes, compression springs are used in computers. They are made to keep two different items apart. Compression springs are specially ordered to fit computers."
