Test-driven development is the repetition of a short development cycle in which the developers write test cases which initially fail. They then rewrite it to meet the necessary standards. Shortened form is TDD.
CD with only one song and it tells be to insert a blank CD How do you put more songs on the same CD?
If the CD is a CD-R it is only "Writable," and cannot have songs added to it after its initial burn. If the CD is a CD-RW you should be able to "Rewrite" songs onto the CD and reburn them.
How is it possible to run two programs at once that require 8 megabytes and 12 megabytes of RAM?
First, if you are using a computer that uses MB, go spend $100 on a used computer and you'll have something that has at least 1GB. As for your question, the amount of ram you have installed in a computer is not the only memory a computer can use. The actual name depends on the OS, but all computers have a section of the hard drive set asside to act as RAM. On a Windows PC it's called a Page File. The advantage is that you can use more ram then your computer has. The disadvantage is that it requires your computer to read, write, and rewrite this section of the drive over and over, which can be hard on the hard drive, and cause it to fail more quickly.
What does a computer OS do?
Apple Inc. is, according to Apple's own statements, a hardware company. The Mac OS (Operating System) is provided by Apple specifically to run on Apple Hardware including its line of Desktops, Laptops, iPhones, iPod Music Players, and Tablet computers to name a few. Mac OS X (currently 10.6 code named Snow Leopard) is being used on Apple's Desktops and Laptops. There is a special OS for the iPhone and iPod which is really a very simplified OS that has much of the look and feel of the Apple Computers and Laptops. The iPad tablet basically runs the same OS as the iPhone and iPods except that it has added capabilities mostly for the larger sized screen on the iPad. The Mac OS allows humans to interact with programs developed for Apple Hardware. Many of these programs are developed by Apple itself but there is also a wide range of third party applications from what might be mislabeled as competitors such as MicroSoft. Microsoft is in fact not a competitor since MicroSoft is a Software company and Apple is a Hardware company. Microsoft has produced many applications for Apple including Microsoft Office and even the Windows Operating systems include some considerations by MicroSoft Developers to enable it to run smoothly on Apple Hardware. Adobe, another Software company of note, also produces many exceptional software programs for Apple Hardware. Among these are inDesign (Publishing), DreamWeaver (Web Design and Publishing), FireWorks (graphics), Photoshop (graphics), Flash (rich content web development), and several other invaluable tools. The arts community including Film Makers, Musicians, and Print Media regard Apple Hardware highly and there are very few professional artists today that do not use Apple Hardware and its Operating System on a daily business for their work. To summarize, the Mac OS (Operating Systems) provides the interface by which we humans can interact with a variety of Software produced by both Apple and third party developers and the machines that Apple Inc. produces. In the Mac community, we say it helps us "Think Different" which is an age old Apple slogan. An insider joke in the Mac user community implies that the reason Apple computers and Mac Operating Systems are so good is that they were reverse engineered from the 1950s crashed UFOs at Roswell New Mexico - no one actually believes that of course but it's part of the fun of being in the Funtastic Apple community. ---------------------------- It is just another platform of computers, like Windows PC. Generally, I believe Mac is better. Some oppose. The two different platforms look different, have different features and may be faster than the other. The only problem is that most people run on Windows, and the two different OS (Operating Systems) do not understand each other, so buying a game for Windows and running it on a Mac would not work.

How do you repair Windows XP using the Recovery Console?
Repair and Recovery of windows Xp with the Recovery Console If Windows won't start, use the DOS-like Recovery Console to make repairs. The Recovery Console is one of the last-ditch tools you can use if your Windows installation doesn't start up at all. Before you resort to the Recovery Console, if Windows starts up, make sure you've already tried System Restore (especially if you've recently changed your hardware). To run System Restore, choose Control Panel Performance and Maintenance System Restore. If it won't start, try running the Windows XP Setup Wizard from the installation CD and choosing its Repair option, or try starting Windows in Safe Mode. If none of these easier paths work, you're stuck using the DOS-like Recovery Console to figure out what's wrong with Windows, your system or boot partition, or your disk's master boot record (MBR). You can use its DOS-like commands to look at the files and folders that make up Windows, and possibly repair them. You can also repair the master boot record and boot sector. You can configure the Recovery Console not to require the administrator password on login. In the Registry Editor, set the value of key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole\SecurityLevel to 1. Starting the Recovery Console To start the Recovery Console, boot your computer from the Windows XP installation CD and follow the prompts. When it asks which Windows installation you want, type the number of the installation (1, if Windows XP is the only operating system installed) and press Enter. Type the password for the Administrator account. When the Recovery Console is running, you see the prompt D:\WINDOWS>, which tells you the name of the current folder (directory). If you plan to use the Recovery Console often, add it to your boot menu (the menu that appears if you have a multiboot system). You must be logged in as an administrator. Choose Start Run and type the command d:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons (replace d: with your CD drive's letter if it's not D). The Recovery Console occupies about 7 MB of disk space and stores its program files in \Comdcons on your system drive. Now you can type commands and press Enter, just like in the good old days of DOS! However, not all DOS commands work, and you can't examine files in all folders. You are restricted to the Windows program folder (C:\Windows on most systems), its subfolders, the root folder of the Windows partition (C:\ on most systems), removable drives (including diskette, ZIP, and CD drives-but these are read-only), and the \Cmdcons folder (which contains the Recovery Console program itself, if you have added it to your boot menu). If you know DOS, the Recovery Console's commands look familiar, though only a few are available and some work differently. To see a list of all the available commands, type help and press Enter. To find out how a specific command works, type the command, followed by a space and /? (for example, expand /?). When you are done using the Recovery Console, type exit and press Enter to reboot your computer. Looking Around Use these commands to examine your system: CD folder Changes the current folder to the folder you name. In the folder name, two dots (..) represents the parent folder of the current folder. To move to a different drive, type its drive letter and a colon and press Enter. dir folder or dir filename Lists the contents of the folder, including files and subfolders. For the filename, you can use * as a wildcard character (for example, dir *.dll). You see the last modification date and time, attributes, size (in bytes) and filename. The attributes are represented by letters: d (directory or folder), h (hidden), s (system), e (encrypted), r (read-only), a (changed since last backup), and c (compressed). map Lists the drive letters with their file format (FAT32 or NTFS), size, and pathname. type filename Displays the contents of the file as text. For executable, graphic, and other nontext files, you see garbage. If a filename or pathname includes spaces, enclose it in double quotes. Fixing the MBR, Boot Sector, or Boot Menu If your system can't find a partition from which to boot, try fixing the MBR. Type fixmbr to rewrite the MBR on the boot partition (the drive or partition from which the computer starts up). If the system finds the boot partition but the Windows boot sector is fouled up on the Windows partition (the drive or partition where Windows is installed), rewrite the Windows boot sector by typing fixboot. To specify which drive is the Windows partition, you can add the drive letter (e.g., fixboot c. Windows XP includes a boot menu that allows you to choose which operating system to start up. (It doesn't appear if your system has only one operating system.) To fix the boot menu, use the bootscan command. Type bootcfg /scan to look at all your partitions and drives, scanning for Windows installations. Type bootcfg /list to list the entries in boot.ini (the file that contains your boot menu entries). Fixing Windows If something is wrong with your Windows installation, use these commands to modify or replace the problematic files: attrib filename flag Changes the attribute of a file (filename). The flag is + (adds, or turns on) or - (removes, or turns off), followed by r (read-only), s (system), or h (hidden). chkdsk drive Checks and repairs files and folders on drive. Add the /p switch to check the drive even if no problems are marked. copy sourcepath1 sourcepath2 Copies the file from sourcepath1 and names the new file sourcepath2. The asterisk wildcard (*) doesn't work, so you can copy only one file at a time. diskpart Lets you add or delete partitions, though you can't resize or move them. (For that, you need a program like PartitionMagic; go to http://www.partitionmagic.com.) expand pathname Decompresses files from a .cab file and puts the result in the current folder. If the .cab file contains more than one file, add /f:* to extract all the files. Or add /f:* /d to list all the files in the .cab, and then use expand pathname /f:filename command to extract just the one you want. wildcards in recovery console By default, the Recovery Console doesn't allow you to use wildcards, copy files from local drives to removable media, or use the CD command to list files in subfolders in all folders on all local disks. It also issues a warning message every time you copy files that overwrite existing files. However, if you have the Professional Edition, you can change that behavior using the Group Policy Editor. At a command prompt, type gpedit.msc to run the Group Policy Editor. Go to Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options. In the list of policies on the right, double-click on "Recover console: Allow floppy copy and access to all drives and all folders." Select the Enabled option and click OK. Doing this won't actually make the changes; at this point, you'll have to use the Recovery Console itself to do that. Open the Recovery Console and use the following commands to customize its behavior: set allowwildcards = true This command lets you use the * and ? wildcards with the Recovery Console commands. set allowallpaths = true This command lets you use the CD command to list all files and subfolders on all folders on all local disks. set allowremovablemedia = true This command lets you copy files from local drives to removable media. set nocopyprompt = true This command lets you copy files that overwrite existing files, without getting a warning prompt.

Can you turn a ps3 game into a ps2 game?
No games are software written for a game console and when they rewrite it to allow the game to play on another machine it costs them quite a bit. The cost is because of the time and manpower required to rewrite the software before they even can begin to test that the game works correctly adding more to the cost.

How can you get your bank to rewrite your mortgage with poor credit and very little income?
This is very difficult to do in most cases. Rewriting the mortgage is like starting over from scratch and the qualifications are the same. You have to show you can afford and qualify for the rewrite. If traditional sources are beyond your reach you may want to research Fannie Mae programs and eligibility for new federal programs. If you are having difficulty paying your mortgage you should contact your provider before things escalate and advice them of your situation, your provider is not obliged to rewrite your term or repayments but approaching them early would let them make a decision on what they can do for you short term

Why java supports platform independence?
Why? Because that was one of Java's main design considerations. And the reason for that is because it allows running programs on different computers, without having to rewrite them.
