What does cederoms mean in French?
CDRoms
Is the half-life of cdroms 3 years?
No. Cd's are not radioactive and do not have. A half-life.
What is a storage?
A storage device is any computer hardware meant to store data permanently or semi-permanently. This includes, but is not limited to hard disks, floppy disks, cdroms and DVDs.
What is a storage device?
CD-R
What does the ram symbolize?
This is Random Access Memory. It is a form of data storage. Data does not need to be in any particular order with RAM. It is quick, unlike CDROMS for instance which have to be recorded and require the physical movement of a reading head.
Is there a CDrom to learn computer programing?
There are many CDroms available. The most important is to pick a language like C or C++ and your operating system, like Windows. If you do pick C/C++ for Windows try Marrutt software training.
Can you have a DVD and hard drive on the same ATA cable?
The simple answer is yes you can. In saying that though, some technicians (myself included), like to steer clear of doing it this way. Main reason being, the cable can stretch a little too far.So it is best using 2 different ide cables, one for your hard drives, the other for your cdroms etc.Not forgetting to change the jumpers accordingly. Slave goes on the middle, master at the end of the cable.
What device does the USB support?
USB can be used for literally hundreds of different devices. These include but are not limited to keyboards, mouses, printers, external hard drives thumb drives & cdroms, network interface cards, game pads and joysticks, document scanners, fingerprint scanners, cameras, modems, soundcards, tv and radio tuners, graphics tablets. There are also USB devices which emulate older obsolete ports like serial and parallel ports so that legacy peripherals can be used with modern computers.
What are the major uses of parallel ports?
The parallel port is most commonly used for printers, although most modern printers are USB these days. Parallel ports may also be used for external cdroms, zip drives, or hard disks. These have also moved in large part to USB because of its faster data transfer capabilities.
What is a microfiche machine?
Back before we had computers & cdroms & the internet, if you wanted to search through a libraries collection of the last 50 years of newspapers & magazines, they didnt hand you a key to a huge warehouse, they sent you to the microfiche room. Microfiches are photograph negatives of documents which are shrunk down to a very tiny size. In order to read them, you would use a microfiche machine which enlarged the images & projected them onto a screen so you could read them without a microscope. Many microfiche machines also had an option to print. Microfiche machines have fallen into disfavor with many libraries opting to digitize archival material instead. However, microfiche is still in use in many places.
What are six types of communication media and where are they used for what purpose?
Wire - Cheap, simple, compatible with old equipment, must be amplified for long distancesOptical - Fast, long distance, high bandwidth, can carry multiple data streams on one cable, expensive, can break easilyWireless RF - Simple, no cables, expandable, no line-of-sight required, long distanceWireless IR - Cheap, line-of-sight requiredThat's all folks! I honestly don't think there are any other network medias. Unless you split wire into coax (thick copper), UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), STP (Shielded Twisted Pair), etc. But I may be wrong.-DJ CraigBig bandwidth, slow responseLet's think "outside the box" for a moment: Nobody ever said this question was about "data" communication between digital devices. There are many other well-known media for information communication, including air and other fluids, using numerous different signalling means:Don't forget the "communication channel" of physical delivery of pre-recorded media! It is often MUCH cheaper and efficient to send a taxi full of CDROMS across town (or mail it some arbitrary distance) than to create a point-to-point microwave highway or complicated digital network to deliver the same data, if you don't care when it gets there. Plus, you have the advantage of keeping your expensive digital bandwidth available for time-sensitive data. This is Information Theory 101.Also, where does satellite fit in? It would be wireless RF (microwave), line of sight, thousands of miles up and back.Let's not forget "audio" media for communication, sonic and ultra-sonic, as well as"visible" using air or fluids (not fibers) as medium (blinking light, flags, etc),pressure signals are often used in hydraulic or pneumatic systems;mechanical signals are used for communication of status or RPM information;thermal signals can communicate information through various media (although not always quickly);paper is a medium often used for communication, such as things we used to call "books" or "newspapers".
What is volatile memory?
volatile memory is memory that will wipe all the data saved to it after the computer shuts down e.g: RAM.
