Is it wise to buy refurbished electronics?
Yes, I would say so. They are usually returned for a small defect that is easily fixed and put at the back of the shelves with a significantly smaller price tag. I bought a refurbished iMac 20" 2.66 gHz CPU for $1300 instead of $1500. I would say that was well worth it. If, however, you are asking about Microsoft, I have no idea. You never know with them

A port expander, or more commonly know as a port replicator or docking station, is generally computer specific.
A port replicator does not introduce new hardware, but merely a means to give the port a physical connection. The connector between the computer and the port replicator provides an electrical conduit between the device it's self and the port.
There are USB port replicators, but these devices do not offer the same functionality as a true port replicator, because they are limited in speed by the USB port.
What year was he first generation of compact disc technology introduced in the US?

Are the Internet is true or false?
Internet is a new form of media a lot of it's conventions and other things have not been developed yet . The Internet has expanded the selection of news sources.
It's had both bad and good effects.
Bad:
-it's dangerous: cyber stalking, etc.
-it's bad for us: people spend hours staring at the screen instead of outside. The result is eye strain, headaches, obesity...
-spelling, grammar, etc. is ignored on the Internet and proper English is dying out
Good:
-we can keep in touch through email, forums, etc. with people from around the world
-information such as news is instantly available at the touch of a button
-it's useful for research, checking our stocks online, booking flights, etc.
-it's oh so convenient, allowing us to shop at home, check bank balances without going out, etc.
In general, the effect on society has been largely good. However, many associated problems such as the lack of quality control and technology's stranglehold on everything have compensated for the good effects.

What are the functions of a radar?
To detect, track, and sometimes identify objects via the emission of radio waves.
Speed radar (like those used by police) can detect nearby objects and calculate their speed.
Weather radar can detect the location of clouds and rain.
Air traffic radar can detect and track unidentified flying objects. With the help a monopulse secondary surveillance radar, the radar system can identify the individual planes.
Higher technology radars can detect and identify distant small objects with great precision.

How can technology be helpful and harmful?
Technology is both Helpful, and Destructive. It is very helpful for mankind because everyone uses it. It can be used for Engineering, Science, Math and many other subjects. But on the other hand, Facebook, MySpace, and other websites like that can be destructive, If not used the right way. Some kids will stay on the computer all day and become more anti-social every day. So you can think of it which ever way you'd like. I hope this helped you.
why is technology the best for us?
think for a moment, what it might be like to live in the 9 century. Imagine that u could travel back in time and found yourself in small Asian country like China. How would us cook Ur food? would u use gas, microwave or oven? How would you go from one city to the next? could you get on a train or would you have to walk or ride a horse?
How would sent a message to ur parents telling them u'll be late for launch or dinner?
How email to ur friends or calling them on ur cellphone? I say it's impossible unless we have technology. Now contemplate for a while how different everything would be if u were to live in the 9 century.
many items we use today are a result of modern technology. out cellphone, microwave, vehicle, Internet are all the outcome of scientific discoveries that brought in our community by the great efforts of our inventors or engineers that tried their best to bring a peace living or people to live comfortably. ........
How do you widen the cells on Microsoft Excel?
What you do is widen the column, as an individual cell cannot be widened by itself. There are a few ways of widening a column. The simplest is to the the cursor between the column headings at the top of the worksheet with the column you want to widen being on the left. So if you wanted to widen Column A, go to where A and B are at the top of their columns and put the cursor in between the headings. If you do it correctly the cursor will change to having two arrows, one pointing left and one right, coming off a line in between them. Then press and hold the mouse button and drag to the right and column A will widen.
Another way is having put the cursor in that position, to do a double click on the mouse. If there is any text in a cell in that column that is wider than the cell, the column will adjust to that width. the third way is to go to the Format Menu and pick Column and then Width.

Why do you need a power supply?
Power supplies are need by many electronic devices for several reasons. Most devices need one or more DC voltages. Only AC power is available at a common household outlet.
Power supplies, among other things, usually must convert AC power to DC power.
AC = Alternating Current
DC = Direct Current
VDC = Volts of Direct Current
Computers, for example, need a power supply to convert 120 VAC line power to 6 VDC, 9 VDC and possibly 12 VDC. You will understand this more fully once you get further into the study of things like trigonometry, the calculus, basic circuit design, etc.
Furthermore, LTE networks has backwards compatibility with the previous technologies like GSM and UMTS that makes low operating cost and wider coverage possible because it could operate without discontinuity where LTE coverage cannot reach. Enabling seamless passing from an LTE base station to the existing deployed networks reflects substantially on better service and cost efficiency.
