What plane is undetectable by radar?
The F-22 is the plane undetectable by radar, but it is said that the B-1 looks like a flock of birds on radar.
Being undetectable or nearly undetectable on RADAR is known as stealth. There are several stealth aircraft currently in use in the United States armed forces. The F-22 "Raptor" is one of them. . The B-2 "Spirit" Stealth bomber is yet another. The newest in the line of fighter aircraft, the F-35 "Lightning II" is also stealth capable, as well as VTOL (vertical take off and landing) capable in the model for the Marines. The F-117 "Nighthawk" is another stealth aircraft, but has been retired due to obsolescence.

Do you need norton or any other security for your iPad?
Apple have several times claimed no, how ever technicians report of several harmful applications on all types of tablets and phones no matter the operating system. The more people use a system, the more people will try to take advantage of the users. It's not as highly risk as a Windows PC but there are both free and paid protection applications for the iPad's on the Appstore.
How many pictures can 16 gb hold?
That really depends on the quality of your camera. Different cameras have different image quality, and as a result, different file extensions are used. Different file extensions mean different file sizes.
A high megapixel camera will typically have photos with a file size of 40-50MB. 1000 MB = 1 GB, so, assuming you are using a high megapixel camera, then you could hold around 320-400. The less the picture quality, the more photos you can hold.

What is input mask in a database?
An input mask refers to controlling the input that a user is going to provide.
For example, if you were going to ask for a person's phone number, and you know the format of the phone number is going to be (xxx) xxx-xxxx, then you would set an input mask forcing the input to be in that format.
A zip code, for example, is 5 or 9 characters in the U.S..... either 12345 or 12345-6789.
Therefore, you would use an input mask that looked like xxxxx | xxxxx-xxxx
This controls the user's input so that less validation is required later.
Input masks are mostly used to validate input that has a strict pattern that never changes. With Access validation rules you can validate more complex patterns.
Will a Netbook adapter work on a Laptop?
It depends on what kind of adapter you are speaking of. Netbooks are just smaller laptops and have many of the same ports and connections that a regular laptop would have. Chances are that it should work fine.
What are some practical uses of density?
A practical use for density is finding the mass or volume of an object.
To find out that mass, say you already have the volume and the density, you would do M = DxV.
To find out volume, say you already have mass and the density, you would do V = M/D (/ means divide by the way)
Why are BITMAP files larger than VECTOR files?
Bitmap files are bigger for two reasons, first BMP is an abbreviation of bitmap and every bit in the picture is mapped. Second Jpeg files are compressed using a lossy compression algorithm so some information is discarded. This is why you lose quality when you save a .bmp as a .jpg. In fact, every time you edit and save a Jpeg file, you lose more information, leading to a constant degradation in quality.
--------------------------
Update: Actually, while BMP is indeed an abbreviation for "bitmap", it is not true that every bit in a BMP file is mapped in all cases. BMP files come in a variety of "flavors", but in general they can be broken down into "compressed" and "uncompressed". In the uncompressed variant of BMP files, it is correct that each bit is indeed "mapped" and as such the files tend to be larger than many other common image file formats. However, most BMP files that are in circulation or created by applications such as MS Paint are compressed BMP files. BMP files use a type of compression called "run length encoding", or RLE. Run length encoding will basically identify strings of adjacent pixels that are the same color value, and use a shorthand to indicate how many of that color. For example, imagine that the symbol "*" represents a certain shade of blue, and all other punctuation marks represent various other colors. Imagine, too, that there is a long horizontal line of blue pixel (a line) within a picture, and surrounded by various other colors. The RLE version of that might look something like this:
^2$1#1%1^2&1*240.1?1.1?.>1
The pattern in this case (just a theoretical example of how RLE encoding works) is [PIXELCOLOR][REPETITON]. You will notice two things - there are two entries for every pixel reference (this can cause a RLE encoded BMP file to be LARGER than the original file -- if there are a whole bunch of 1-2 pixel areas and not many areas in the image that are solid colors; secondly, this "bloat" is significantly counteracted when the "*240" is encountered, since the original (uncompressed) would have looked like 240 asterisks one after the other.
So, certain images compress better than others, and certain compression types are more suitable for certain image types. RLE is indeed one of the lossless types of compression. Lossless compression typically results in poorer compression ratios, but once decompressed, since none of the original image information has been discarded ("lost"), the decompressed version of the file will look exactly like the original.
JPEG, which is an acronym for the Joint Photographic Experts Group which developed the algorithms behind this popular compression, works better on pictures than on images with large areas of identically colored pixels. JPEG is a lossy compression, meaning that each time the image is compressed with this format, certain bits of information are "approximated" to improve the compression ratio; thus, when the file is decompressed for viewing, there are changes to the image quality. JPEG compression can be adjusted to provide better image quality by sacrificing some of the compression, or can be adjusted to be more highly compressed but with a sacrifice of image quality. For most of the images on the in Internet, a balance is struck between good visual quality and good compression. However, since photographs are very common on the web, JPEG is perhaps the most popular format to be used online. JPEGs can provide a great compromise between acceptable image degradation and file size. However, since the compression algorithms have been specifically designed to work with the unique data that is seen insde a photograph, JPEG will usually wind up as a smaller file than BMP. However, if you convert an image that is only made from a small number of distinct colors, and those colors are mainly ground together in areas of the image, then a BMP file format might actually result in a smaller file.
So, if you are trying to decide which format you want to use, you have to decide whether a certain degree of image degradation is acceptable or not, and you should test while retaining copies of the original files (just in case). Generally, for web pages and items that will be displayed from within a web browser, you want to stay away from BMP, because it is not supported by all web browsers (MSIE supports it, however). If you need the page background to show through the "negative space" of your image, and not be blocked out as the background color of the image, then you will do better abandoning JPEG and BMP entirely, and using either GIF or PNG and taking advantage of these file formats' (some variants') inherent support for transparency and/or an "alpha channel."

How do you save all emails in Microsoft Outlook?
A personal folder, also known as Outlook data file in the 2003 version or .pst, is a media used for storing emails created in Outlook. It compresses your emails similar to a zip file allowing you to save hundreds of emails along with their attachments. An archive folder is similar to a personal folder in that they both use .pst to store and compress emails. Archive, however, can be setup automatically to save emails that are older than a specific date. And, the default location for archived folders are on your hard drive. You can save emails that may take up too much space in your inbox. Or, save important emails from your colleagues, family members, friends and professors that you just don't want to delete. You could also use this to store a copy of your emails for use after you graduate.
