What are the two major types of drafting?
The Different drafting lines are the following:
- visible - are continuous lines used to depict edges directly visible from a particular angle.
- hidden - are short-dashed lines that may be used to represent edges that are not directly visible.
- center - are alternately long- and short-dashed lines that may be used to represent the axes of circular features.
- cutting plane - are thin, medium-dashed lines, or thick alternately long- and double short-dashed that may be used to define sections for section views.
- section - are thin lines in a pattern (pattern determined by the material being "cut" or "sectioned") used to indicate surfaces in section views resulting from "cutting." Section lines are commonly referred to as "cross-hatching."
- phantom - (not shown) are alternately long- and double short-dashed thin lines used to represent a feature or component that is not part of the specified part or assembly. E.g. billet ends that may be used for testing, or the machined product that is the focus of a tooling drawing.
An electronic cigarette is an electronic device who is intended to simulate the smoking habit without generating smoke or nicotine. This device is working with some oil essences which generate the sensation of smoking though heating of these oil by it's internal atomizer, powered by an low voltage electric accumulator. This one can be rechargeable in time and also the container of the oil can be refilled or replaced at a low cost.
Why physical address is needed when IP address is present?
Without a physical address, you will not be able to access a network outside the LAN that you are on. This is simply due to the fact that the computer on another LAN would not know where to forward the requested information. Your IP address work on the Internet Protocol within routers and switches, and associates it finding with your local machine (computer) by way of its mac address (physical address). Notice, your computer does not have an IP address, when you log on to the Internet a DHCP server issue you a leased IP address which is associated with your MAC for the duration of time that your computer is log on to the NET. There are quite a few reasons why your computer would not be network operable without a MAC address, this is just one of them.

When was the Xerox Notetaker introduced?
The Xerox Notetaker computer was never introduced, in the sense of it being sold to the public. It was an internal Xerox PARC project started in 1978 and cancelled in early 1980 after only a few prototypes had been built.
Most of the pages about it on the web get some of the details wrong. All of the technical information can be found in Bitsavers or one of its mirrors. See Related Links, below. The series of memos there also documents the project's history.
How has the growth of global communication system promoted globalisation?
The short answer would be that as our devices evolve, we can communicate and commit transactions more instantaneously and cost-effectively than ever before and reach a larger customer base that we would if we were limited to our own country.
Growth? The Internet and computer alone have made it easier to participate globally. Satellites have made it easy and quick to communicate overseas. Faster Internet speed translates to more frequent transactions. Cellphones and WIFI to some extent make all this portable further ncreasing the frequency of use. Computing technology at the Postal Service and delivery companies provide integration solutions for businesses not to mention the ability to order today and get it tomorrow from anywhere in the World, track packages as they move and get notified when a package arrives or gets shipped...all attractive features most of us would like.
Promoted? Big corporations jump all over the idea of outsourcing when they learn they can save big money by firing local workers and sending jobs to other countries where people will work for peanuts. Eventually these companies set up offices in other countries. Later, some of these same companies realise people in their own country are not buying their product as much as they used to. Maybe more of their neighbors are standing in the unemployment line? That means some companies rely on their foreign customers for a good chunk of their revenue. That is, if by 'globalisation' in the context of business you mean, "not in the same country as the corporate office". Of course eBay and Amazon are also good examples of promoting globalized ecommerce.
Communication System?
We've had the ability to be global as long as we've been able to use the phone, telegraph or postal mail. I would consider that the primitive stage of globalisation.
Consider how the following technologies have evolved:
-Postal mail, delivery companies: Package tracking, business integration, Next Day delivery means order today, get it tomorrow.
-Telephone and teleconferencing: If your sick, far away or work from home, you can participate in meetings, and sometime work from home by telecommuting. You can hire telephone tech support from anywhere in the world who can't speak English as long as they can say "Reboot the computer" and can access customer computers remotely.
-Satellites: to communicate overseas by phone, Internet; broadcast TV/ radio. Of course GPS applications to help you find your way back to the motel from the pub in when you're on vacation in a foreign land.
-Fax: Send hard copies, signatures within minutes to anywhere in the world (a loss to postal service).
-Computer and Internet: Telecommuting, teleconferencing, purchase products/services by Web(eBay, Amazon), trading, video,audio,gaming, VOIP telephone, TV and so many other uses (a loss to Newspapers and magazines at least);
-Cellular phones: Telephone and Internet in your pocket. Email (another loss to postal service), Texting, Twittering on the go... further increasing the frequency of Internet users like never before. On vacation again but can't find that Euro- McDonald's, you're phone GPS probably will because There's an APP for THAT.

How has information technology changed the business from one form to another?
Technology has changed businesses enormously. Businesses are now able to operate and manufacture far more efficiently than they could in bygone decades.
One example is the internet: (I have listed 10 point, which i consider as vital)
In bygone days, small businesses did not have the resources, which larger competitors had. Nowadays even small businesses can access much of the same technology as the giant corporations. They can accept on-line payments and can even deliver products over the internet.
The internet has also opened all sorts of niche marketing opportunities that either never existed before, or were to expensive to tap into. With an on-line presence you can do a lot of direct marketing, and it is therefore very easy to reach your target market.
With a professional designed website, it is now easy for small businesses to have the appearance and credibility of being a large cooperation. For a small amount of money, that can be used to pay a website designer, the return can be much greater.
The internet and with it an on-line presence enables a business to advertise at considerably lower prices, compared to other promotional tools. As an example; posting out a mail to a customer will probably cost around £1.50 (printing, postage etc.), whereas to e-mail the same message to the customer will cost nothing, except working hours.
Open 24/7. By automating a website, a business can be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and all this with no extra staff costs and no overtime rates to pay and if the website has got the feature to shop on-line, customers can, of course, shop 24/7, as well.
A website also helps people to access information about products and services in the comfort of their own home, instead of having to drive to a local shop, for example.
It can also be helpful for reaching a global audience. More countries/people are connecting to the internet each year. The internet and with it a website, breaks down geographical boundaries and limitations. With the help of search engines, like "Google" or "Bing", people can locate and buy products from every corner of the world.
Customer service is made easy. The internet/website makes it possible to capture visitors information. Keeping in touch (via e-mail) helps to improve a long-term relationship. Another helpful tool to get customer feedback is an on-line forum. This is a low-cost customer feedback tool.
Questions that are normally answered by phone can be answered on the internet. Nowadays every professional website has got a "FAQ" (Frequently Asked Questions) page. A website can list the answers to the most frequently asked product or service related
questions.
The internet is much more dynamic than a few years ago. It is constantly being improved by the availability of new software. An example might be:
Automatic product updates through the use of databases.
How can I transfer videos from handycam ccd-trv94e to PC?
You are reffering to VHS tapes which play in a VCR. They are analog so you need a special device to convert the tapes to digital.
They sell video capture cards so you can do this yourself at home but I suggest using a video transfer service for the best quality and least amount of hassle. StashSpace.Com is a good one. Costs $6.95 per tape for the transfer. Check them out online or give them a call.
Proprietary data is an internally generated software that contains technical or other types of information controlled by a firm to safeguard its competitive edge. Proprietary data may be protected under copyright, patent or trade secret laws. Propriety software is computer software which is the legal property of one party. The terms of use for other parties is defined by contracts or licensing agreement. Eg. of proprietary software are Microsoft Windows, Real Player and I-tunes.
Real mode allows programs direct access to but protected mode does not?
i finnally freackin found it, real mode(16 bit) allows access to all hardware resources, where protected mode(32 bit) controls how the application accesses the hardware. In real-mode, an application has complete access to all hardware resources. This "open door" policy can create problems when applications make conflicting commands to the hardware. In protected mode and long mode, the OS controls how an application can access hardware.

What is the Impact of technology on security?
Technology has had a significant impact on security at all levels. With advancements that take place in technology it is possible to create security products that virtually undetectable and allow for a truer result. You can view security footage live from most mobile devices.
What is difference between computer engineearing and information technology?
Computer Science deals with engineering aspects of computer hardware and software. To be more clear it will deal about microprocessors, compilers, datastructures, algorithms and fundamental blocks of computer science. Computer scientists deal with inventing faster processors or highly optimized algorithms IT or Information Technology is the application of hardware and software for a business purpose. IT professionals deals with all kinds of business like entertainment, banking, retail or any such and try to provide solutions to business problems using software installed on appropriate hardware. As many a times software solutions may not be available off the shelf so they may write custom programs to meet the business needs
How do bluetooth devices work?
Bluetooth is a communications protocol. It's like a "language" between the devices that use it to communicate wirelessly. You could look at it as a language in this light, and for something like, say, a bluetooth cell phone to "talk" to a bluetooth headset, the units have to "speak the same language" to communicate wirelessly. And bluetooth is a language that permits each unit to reach the other with the data being transmitted and arriving in a specific way so that it can then be converted. In a bluetooth headset, our voice goes out and the audio from the incoming call arrives. These information streams are converted to digital bluetooth signals, and the data flows into and out of the headset. The headset "understands" the incoming signal from the cell phone, and can convert it into audio for us to hear. And the headset converts our voice into a bluetooth signal that it then sends to the phone, which "understands" that signal and converts it to be broadcast to the cell hub. The key to Bluetooth is the management of the information (or data) stacks, and the manner in which they are broadcast, and that is handled a little differently by different devices. Use the link below for more information.
It is not necessary to date each entry in your data log?
That's a statement, not a question. Either switch the first two words around or replace the question mark with a period.
You should date everything in any log to ensure that events are properly placed in sequential order when being referenced.
Whenever it talks to you just say "127623" over and over again.
Or you can just start like this.
