How much money does a bar code scanner cost?
It depends on the model. The AT-400 (which is rarely found in commercial use) can cost up to $75,000 per unit. The less advanced AT-250 (which can be found in most grocery stores and discount tire outlets) can be purchased for under $10,000 depending on the country it was produced in.
The newer i-phones have this function on a app.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of an ata hard drive?
It depends on the PATA drive in question. That said, the fastest UDMA interface when used with an 80-wire cable is 133 MB/s. From there, the maximum transfer rate for a SATA generation 1 drive is 150 MB/s. For SATA 2, it is 300 MB/s. For SATA 3, it is 600 MB/s.
How do you unlock the numberlock on the computer?
Some keyboards have and don't have the Num Lock key. If there is then just press the Num Lock or NmLk key. Sometimes you have to hold the Fn button with the Num Lock key. If there is no Num Lock key on your keyboard then just follow these steps: START -> ALL PROGRAMS -> ACCESSORIES -> ACCESSIBILITY -> ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD -> NLK.
Can you take the hard drive out of an external hard drive and put it into your computer?
No because most external ones need software and you cant store the soft ware on the external one
This is inaccurate. An external (USB) hard drive can replace an internal drive providing that the operating system is located on the external drive AND the BIOS boot sequence is set to allow booting from a USB device as the first boot device.
How do you diagnose a computer hardware failures?
Every computer has hardware problems eventually, so it's important to keep hardware diagnostic tools on hand. It could be because your computer will not boot due to a problem which could be either hardware of software related.
But you don't need to spend money on expensive tools. These five free tools can help you diagnose most hardware problems.
1. Memory Scan
It's almost impossible to diagnose a problem with your computer memory (RAM) without a memory scanner. Luckily, you don't need a special hardware memory checker-you can use a tool to boot your computer into a special mode which will check your memory. There are several good tools, but I recommend the open source MemTest86, which works on Intel-style 32-bit and 64-bit PCs.
2. CheckDisk / BadBlocks
If you think your hard drive has a problem, you need to check the whole drive for possible errors. If you find a few errors, you may be able to continue to use the drive as long as you re-check the drive on a regular basis. If you find a bunch of errors, you'll need to replace the drive.
The free tool built into Windows XP and higher to check your drive is called CHKDSK (for Check Disk). Linux bootable CDs and USB drives include a similar but more comprehensive tool called badblocks.
3. Spare Cables
Although spare cables aren't free if you buy them separately, most people who regularly buy computer accessories tend to accumulate spare cables. Don't throw out those spare cables. A surprisingly large number of hardware problems are caused by failing cables, and swapping your current cable with a spare is a simple and free way to test whether or not your problems are caused by bad cables.
What is the latest ICT hardware?

What are the two basic types of reproduction and differentiate them clearly?
There are two main forms of reproduction:
1) Asexual - In this, only a single parent is required. This is the form of reproduction in primitive organisms. The parent simply divides itself into two. The type of cell division is mitosis. The children produced are a genetic clone to the parent. Hence this is not favorable where genetic mutations are necessary.
2) Sexual - In this, two parents are required. This is the form of reproduction in higher organisms including humans. Each parent cell divided into 4 leading to cells with half the chromosome count(meiotic division). Then two meiotic cells fuse to form the zygote in which the original chromosome count is restored. It leads to genetic variation in the offsprings enabling them to survive better in the mutating environment.
Difference between PLA and ROM?
One of the difference can be :
- PROM logic contains fixed AND gate & programmable OR gate
- in PLA, both OR and AND gates are programmable
Is computer a device or machine?
A computer is a programmable machinedesigned to sequentially and automatically carry out a sequence of arithmetic or logical operations. The particular sequence of operations can be changed readily, allowing the computer to solve more than one kind of problem. An important class of computer operations on some computing platforms is the accepting of input from human operators and the output of results formatted for human consumption. The interface between the computer and the human operator is known as theuser interface.
A computer is electrical, electronic and electromechanical. The power supply is an electrical component which is as much a part of the computer as any other part.
The cd drive of a computer is an electromechanical piece of hardware. There are others, this is one example. The motherboard, cards, buses, processors are electronic parts.
How many gigabytes are in 5011 megabytes?
if there is a 1000MB in a 1GB really there is 1024MB but you round it to 1000MB you have 5GB or really 4.89GB
edit: actually there is EXACTLY 1000MB in 1GB, if it was 1024 it would be mebi instead of mega and gibi instead of giga.
Edit: actually if you were to go to google and look up how many megabytes are in a gigabyte it shows a calculator that says exactly "1 Gigabyte=1024 Megabytes"
NOTE: May not work with all applications. In this case, look for a settings button, etc. If all else fails, you can try to contact the company that manages the application.
How many sizes of PCI Express slots are currently manufactured for personal computers?
PCI Express currently comes in four different slot sizes; the longest size (PCI Express x16) and the shortest size (PCI Express x1) There are also The accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) and also Industry Standard Architecture. (ISA) :-)
Describe how bar codes are used in automatic stock control?
One way is in the checkout process: when one or more items are scanned, cash is exchanged and one or more purchases made, the terminal running the cash register transmits that the item(s) purchased no longer exist instore, and once the central computer detects that the item(s) in stock are at a critical level, the central computer dispatches order(s) to providers to ship more of the product(s) back to where the same were originally purchased.
Is it better to have dual 2 ohm or dual 4 ohm sub woofers?
u have to hook up both coils on the subs or u will damage it u can run both coils in series that's pos to pos and neg to neg witch will make the sub 2ohm or u can do it by running it in parallel one neg to the other coils pos then using the one neg and one pos u got left now u have 8ohms it really comes down o what amp your hooking up and what ohms u get the most out of your amp
How many pieces of information can a human being actively manage in short term memory at once?
I have read that the maximum is 7 , That's why phone numbers are 7 digits long. but then they had to start adding the area code when you dial, but your mind breaks it up into pieces, remembering the area code first the the rest of the phone number. 407 pause 5551212

How do you I remove and install a hard drive in a Dell computer?
Ideally if you don't already know, you shouldn't be doing it. Especially if you don't know about anti-static precautions. For a desktop: Ground yourself against a radiator or any earthed metal (just hold it for a few seconds) to remove any static charge you may be carrying. Unplug the power supply, open the case of the PC (may require removal of screws or undoing clips depending on the model of PC). Find the hard drive which needs replacing, it should look pretty much same as the one you have to replace it with. If there is more than one hard drive present, then you'll have to check which one needs removing before continuing. Unplug the power connector and the data cable from the back of the old hard drive. Remove the hard drive (if in a caddy you will need to swap the caddy over, which may require removal of some screws as well). Put the new hard drive in (also using the caddy if one was present). Plug the 2 cables back into the hard drive. Put the case back on. Job done!
What is the difference between Intel core1 and Intel core2?
The Intel 8085 is not even in the same class as the Intel Core 2. The architecture and instruction set is vastly different. The 8085 is an 8 bit machine, running on an 8-bit bus, with at most 64kb of RAM/ROM. The Core 2 is a 32/64 bit machine, running on 32/64/128 bit buses, with potentially more than 4gb of RAM/ROM. This is like comparing an original Volkswagon Beetle with an Indy Car.
In what sense are hardware and software equivalent?
The question could be a little more specific. I'll have to give a general answer here.
If we are discussing computing then, software is the code or programs running on the computing device. Desktop, laptop, notepad or PDAs (personal Data Assistants) are all computing devices. There are several other devices that run software.
A good example of the line between software and hardware can be seen when we look at the BIOS chip in personal computers. The chip itself is hardware. The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) chip is specifically a ROM (Read Only Memory) chip. You can hold this chip in your hand and it has physical attributes like size, shape and weight. This is hardware. Now burned or programmed into this BIOS chip are the necessary programs to run startup test and boot up an operating system. This is software or code. You can't hold this in your hand, it is binary numbers held electronically in the chip.
Regardless of the medium being used software is the binary code, and the device is the hardware it is stored on. Even memory chips are hardware, and though it may be a temporal storage location it is still a storage location.
Software is information generally stored in a digital format. it is usually a set of instruction to run a machine. Hardware is the physical components of the machine that caries out the instructions.
How does primary and secondary battery work for a laptop?
* Primary Battery - energy is exhausted when active materials are consumed (carbon-zinc dry cell, lithium battery, silver oxide battery, alkaline battery) * Secondary Battery- active materials are regenerated by charging (nickel cadmium (NiCd), nickel metal hydride (NiMH), Lithium Ion, Lithium Polymer, Sealed Lead Acid. Consumer market put aside, the largest users of primary (non-rechargeable) batteries are the military, specialty emergency services and forest fire fighters. High energy density, long storage and operational readiness are among their strong attributes. No charging and priming is required before use. Logistic is simple and battery power can be made available at remote locations that are unmanned and have no electrical power. Disposal is easy because most primary cells contain little toxic materials.
Primary batteries have the highest energy density. Although the secondary (rechargeable) batteries have improved, a regular household alkaline provides 50% more power than lithium-ion, one of the highest energy-dense secondary batteries. The primary lithium battery used in cameras holds more than three times the energy of a lithium-ion battery of same size.
A microphone port is the circular slot you can put a headset in on your computer. You can then listen to your music or watch a video without being disturbed by others.
Name two characteristics of a system using rambus licensed memory?
RAMBUS memory is on a stick of RAM called a RIMM. It is the fastest RAM available but you have to have the hardware to use it. It comes in 184 pin for desktops and 160 pin for laptops. RIMMs are keyed differently than DIMMS so you can't install it in any computer. You are required to install RIMMs in pairs to use the full technology, it has a dual-channel technology. Each RIMM is 64 bits wide, but the RAMBUS alternated between two sticks to increase the speed of data retreival. RDRAM motherboards require that all RIMM slots be populated. Unused pairs of slots need a passive device called a continuity RIMM (CRIMM) installed in each slot to enable the RDRAM system to terminate properly. In other words, you have to buy a blank CRIMM to fill in the slots or it will not work properly on the motherboard.
What is the screen on your computer called where all the icons are?
The screen on a computer is part of a monitor.
It is referred as the monitor "panel" or as the "display surface" The latter is the surface of the large end of a cathode ray tube, where images are created.
