What is installing and running programs?
installing a program is putting the files of the program in different directories to make it work on the computer. running a program is having the program work and not just putting it on the computer.
What is the comparison between a process and a program?
A process is an 'instance' of a program. A program by itself is a set of instructions usually stored in a file. You generally compile a program into an executable. Think of executable as the form of a program that machine can understand. Now, when you execute a program, it results in an instance and hence a process. In Windows, here are some examples: Write a batch program using windows commands and store in a .bat file. This type of program does not need any further compilation. Now running it will result in a process. Depending on what the batch file is doing this may be a long running process (and hence you will see it in the task manager) or a short one. Write a program in C language with a main in it (main is an entry point into a program with input and output). Compile it using a C compiler and the result is a .exe. Running this exe creates a process.
Is there a program that can help me figure out how fast the cooling fan on my Compaq desktop is running?
There isn't a program you can run to find out how much your fan is running but you can generally hear it. If you think your fan is over working then you should probably take your computer in to be looked at.

What is the difference between task and job and program?
A process is an instance or invocation of a program - you can have for example two processes running the same program at the same time e.g. you can have a calculator program open twice, this is two processes but only one program. Some programs connect to and issue instructions to an existing process if one exists. Firefox is one example of such a program (when running under Linux at least). A process is a program in execution. It is an active entity whereas a program is an static entity. It is a set of instructions. In the abstract, think of a program as a set of instructions written down to do something, like the recipe for a cake. Taking those instructions and actually following them (i.e. executing them) results in an actual entity - a process in the computer world, or a specific cake using the recipe analogy. Thus, a process is the result of executing a program, just like the cake I'm eating is a results of the Betty Crocker recipe. As noted above, you have have multiple processes of one program, just like I can make many cakes from a single recipe.
When using windows what manager can you open to see a list of processes that are being executed by the processor?
Answer The manager you are referring to is called the Task Manager. It can easily be opened by pressing and holding CTRL, Shift and Esc keys. The items on the table are all of the processes running at the moment. Think of a process as a program. You are very familiar with this you just are not aware of it until now. When you are surfing the web your internet browser has a process running. The same is true for Microsoft Word when you are typing a document. The advantages of the task manager is you can end a process (program) even when the program itself has stopped responding. You do this by right clicking the process and clicking end task. The other advantage of Task Manager is it allows you to see what is using your computer's resources. Many people ask what is a good number of process to be running so that their computer is not slowed down. Computers are very different with various amounts of processing power and other specifications. The general rule of thumb is the more processes that are running the slower your computer will be. Do not blindly start ending processes because there are some processes running that are part of the Windows operating system.If you computer is running slow you will want to alter what process start running when the computer boots (starts). To do this you will have to view the Startup tab. To stop a process from being started when the computer boots right click it and click disable. Be very careful doing this. There are processes related to the Windows operating system and disabling them could cause technical problems. If you disable any processes from starting up I highly recommend that they are only process where it is clear what they do. For example, if you have Skype installed on your computer and you don't mind having to manually start it in order to receive calls then it is fine to disable it.

Why is it that people get premonitions during their sleep that end up happening?
Sleep does NOT mean that your brain (or mind) is turned off, it just means that a different program is running in your head ... one that often ponders the problems that you may not wish to think about when you're awake.

What is a string in programming?
A string is a process within a computer program. However, the word "process" is normally used for the main program, so you might think of it as a sub-process. In any case, the idea is that with threads, you can split up your code to run different processes simultaneously. If the computer has several available processors, the strings may really be running simultaneously; if there are more strings than processors, the operating system (or perhaps in some cases the runtime environment?) will simulate this, by alternating the available processors among the strings, so that each one runs for a short time, say, a few milliseconds.
