Data held on the hard drive, is considered to be permanent. It will still be there, after the power has been removed for many years.
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the working memory, held on microchips and needs power to keep the data. It will be immediately lost when the computer is switched off. This usually of little consequence as important data is always held on the hard drive.
The RAM is only used for temporary data whilst working.
Most digital computers today do.
Data and instructions in computers are coded with a what because computers only understand two values
No, they only make peripherals for computers not computers themselves.
The only safe way to deal with old drives is to smash them with a hammer. No electronic means is totsally safe.
Answer: The Authenticated Header (AH) In the IPSec protocol the only traffic that is unencrypted is the (AH). In other words, it only signs the traffic to retain its authentication & integrity, but no privacy.
Yes
No, tablet computers store their data in Flash memory a type of electrically writable read only memory (a solid state replacement for harddisks with no moving parts to break). Flash requires no power to retain data, once that data has been written.
yes, computers do understand the data they process, they are able to do this because of the processor all computers have in their circuit.
Nothing. RAM only stores temporarily data which means when your computer shuts down or resets, all data in RAM is lost.
Most digital computers today do.
wire are the source! jezze, I'm only a second grader!
The memory chip you're referring to is likely a Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) chip, such as EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) or Flash memory. These chips retain stored data even when power is removed, making them ideal for applications like BIOS chips in computers and various forms of digital storage. Their ability to preserve information without a power source is crucial for maintaining system settings and data integrity.
Computers cannot understand languages. They can only compute data. Because of that, we use binary code because that is pure data.
// This is a statement and not a question! //
No. The microprocessor is simply a bunch of tiny switches that when switched a certain way process data according to a program. When you turn the power off all the switches are reset. To get the microprocessor to set the switches again it needs to get instructions from somewhere else, usually the BIOS, this is what it is doing when it boots. Only the BIOS and the hard drive retain data when there is no power.
Probably not. Technology (computers) is only as good as the data that's entered, and it takes someone who knows accounting to know what data to enter into the program. Also, there can be some gray areas in accounting, and computers only deal with "black and white" areas, as in the actual numbers and facts.
only temporarily
