How do fractals and logarithms relate to the real world?
Many things in the real world are approximately fractal or logarithmic. For example, if you examine a shore line it will be a wriggly line. Examine it at more detail and you will see a similar pattern but at a smaller scale. Even more detail and you still have the same (or similar) pattern at yet more detail. Computer-aided graphics use this property to generate landscapes: storing a small amount of "data" and replicating it at different scales is far easier than storing masses of data. The logarithmic function also has this scale-invariant property. If you are interested, read the attached link about Benford's Law. The article does not require much mathematical knowledge - only curiosity.
Is a right angle still a right angle if you turn it upside down?
Yes, the angle is still 90 degrees so it is still a right angle.
What is a 9999999999999999999999999999999999 sided shape called?
I would call it a 9999999999999999999999999999999999-gon or better still, a (1034 - 1) gon. That way my audience will know what I mean without having to struggle with obscure Greek prefices. In my opinion, using prefices in such a case is pretentious and a futile attempt to impress rather than share information.
If lines are not parallel can you still determine the angle measure?
yes you can still determine the angle measure!
What should be the horizontal distance in feet for a ladder to the wall?
The best tip I've come to is that for every four feet of height you have to climb, move the base one foot away from the wall. Better still is to have someone foot the ladder, or to fasten the ladder with a rope, preferably near the top of the ladder to avoid the ladder sliding sideways.
What sort of computer graphics does Machinima use?
Machinima uses real-time three-dimensional computer graphics for cinematography. It uses game engines to create the 3-D graphics. This is still a new technology.
Is there a computer program that you can download to reduce the graphics of computer games?
All games have options inside the game to change the graphics up or down. If you reduce the graphics in-game all the way down and the game is still unplayable then you probably need to clean up your computer and upgrade its components.
When you change your graphics card it will replace your on-board VGA?
You will still be able to use the on-board VGA but your new graphics card (depending on which one) will be better so you can use the ports on the graphics cards instead.
When did they change the computer?
Technology does not stand still. The computer was changed to make it better.
What is panning in concept of computer graphics?
Smooth movement of camera across scene (or scene moves and camera stays still)
Why you use graphics in games?
No, graphics do not make a better game. The gameplay, controls and story make a better game. Sure, good graphics are nice but they don't make a better game. If the graphics are bad, maybe even hard to look at, but the controls, story and gameplay are good, it is still playable, and can be fairly good. If, however, the graphics are really good, but the story is boring, the controles are too stiff or loose and the gameplay is terrible, the game becomes unplayable.
Do you have to take a computer graphics class in high school if you want to major in computer graphics?
No - there are many success stories (people on design communities like FringeFX.net, for example) of people who have achieved much success in obtaining work who have not taken any formal education on graphics at all.If you still want to major in graphics designing, you may want to take as many graphics courses in highschool as possible to show the colleges you are serious about the field.
Which is better a Nintendo Wii or Xbox 360?
Xbox 360 for the graphics. I still like being actually in the game with the Wii.
Why does the monitor say no signal when the computer boots up even though the monitor works?
There might be a problem with the cable between the computer and the monitor, or with the graphics card inside the computer. Check that the cable is plugged in between the computer and the monitor. cable,monitor and graphics card all work but I still can't get the monitor to work no signal could the processor cause this problem

What console has better graphics on FIFA11 is it PS3 or Xbox 360?
of course ps3 is so much better if you ever get a chance to buy it i would do it and rember the RED LIGHT on xbox sucks ANSWER: The graphics on the XBOX are slightly better. In fact, the difference is quite insignificant. And remember: graphics don't make a game. In fact the Graphics are a claim about a console that does not seem to realize what you use to show the Xbox 360 or PS3 on has way more to do with what your picture quality will be than either console. You spend $300 on the console and can spend $3000 on the HDTV and still not have the best picture possible from either of the consoles. Picture quality on 3D is even more critical to what 3D HDTV you are using on not which console. Basically what I am saying is that even if a computer has a great graphics card a poor monitor will diminish the results and that a console and HDTV are like a computer and monitor. Some people using a Xbox 360 with a standard TV foolishly think that graphics matter when there graphics are being downgraded to work on there TV
