How can one optimize their bandwidth?

There are multiple ways to optimize bandwidth. While working in your browser window, be sure to try to keep one browser window open at a time. This increases the stream. Use an optimizer performance checker online to see how the computer is ranging in bandwidth. See what is running on your computer in your start up properties and stop running what is not needed. A shortcut to shutting down unnecessary running programs on your computer. Start menu, type in the search box, "msconfig". Depending on your operating system, a display for an msconfig window will appear. Just check all that apply. If your computer does nothing, believe it or not, you already did it. Now restart your computer.

An interrupt causes the computer's processor to stop running its current task and immediately run the trap handler to service the interrupt.


What is the algorithmic unsolvability?

There are many problems for which it can be proven that they are, at least in the general case, unsolvable - in other words, no algorithm can ever be found to solve them. As an example, one of the first problems for which this unsolvability has been proven is the Halting Problem - determining whether an arbitrary computer program will ever stop, or run forever. Alan Turing showed that solving the halting problem is not possible, in the general case. Note that for some specific computer programs, it might be possible to show that they stop, or that they will continue running forever - but such an algorithm is not possible for ALL computer programs.
