What is the benefits of RAID 5?
RAID 5 setups allow for getting the most storage out of an array of disks without loosing parity, or redundancy. For example.
Raid 5 array with four disks will have the capacity of three of those disks using the forth's pool of storage (over all the disks) as a parity bit so if one of the disks were to fail you would simply swap out the defective disk and the array will rebuild itself in an ideal world.
Because of this write speeds on RAID 5 arrays tend to be a bit slower then other arrays because it's spreading out it's data on however many disks you have any it's writing parity bits at the same time. Read speeds tend to be quick on RAID 5 making it ideal for archival use or data that must be read a lot but not edited much or changed. Think of a server dishing up programs to users or storing their finished work files.
Hope that helps!
What is meant by query oriented application?
It is not a standard notation, but it could define either an application whose data update/retrieval model is based on database queries rather than files, or it could mean an application whose main purpose is to query data sources.
Why do you need to eject before taking out hardware?
We need to eject or run safety remove command/option in order to disable access to the device and in some cases like in USB devices also to disable power to the device. These actions before actually removing/disconnecting device helps reduce chances of damage to the computer interface and device so protecting data also in case of storage devices.
How is ram measured and is 2GB to 4GB max good for ram?
Ram is measured in bits and bytes in logical amounts, such as 128 mb, 256 mb, 512 mb.. and so on and so forth.
The amount of RAM needed depends on the actions being used on the computer. Basic e-mail, web surfing and light gaming are likely fine with 2 gigs of ram. Four would offer a noticeable speed increase due to less dependence on swap space/temp files.
If you plan on doing video editing, audio editing (not listening, editing) or heavy gaming or lots of multitasking and Virtual machine work then more ram is almost always better.
Keep in mind that 4gb of ram is the maximum addressable amount for a 32bit operating system. Going beyond that will require a 64bit OS in order to take advantage of more physical RAM.
Hope that helps!
Why would you expect a CRC to detect more errors than a parity bit?
If there are two errors in a character, the parity may still be OK as two wrongs make one right, in this example. However such an error will not escape the CRC check as it is far more sophisticated and such a false positive is almost impossible to happen

The CliffStars Pack Info:
The CliffStars are excellent wolves and work hard to find enemies in Elemental Wolf RP, Furcadia. Read ALL of the CliffStars Pack Info, please! We will know if you did not read the rules! But alphas of the pack aren't really alphas, they ask the real alphas of Elemental Wolf RP to eject or banish.
Members: Members have no jobs, but have the ability to welcome other players to the pack.
Trackers: Trackers hunt down enemies in Elemental Wolf RP, whether in the pack or not. Trackers are alphas.
Hunters: Males or females can hunt, depending on their color. Hunters are alphas.
Alphas: Aing
Omegas: Omegas are the weakest in the whole entire pack, and may be kicked out soon. If an alpha turns into an omega, it will be ejected, and if it doesn't move it it will be banished.
PlodDos: PlodDos are very evil enemies of the pack or not in the pack, because they enter without permission or when there is no alpha. Syprises, the watchers of PlodDos, will find out about PlodDos. Alphas that are not Aing that are PlodDos will be ejected/banished.
Blowsuds: Blowsuds are not enemies of the pack, because they are not in the pack. They just hang around for a long time, AFK or not, and don't leave for a long time. NOBODYwill attack Blowsuds, unless other wolves are bothered. Some alphas may be Blowsuds, although in the pack.
Syprises: Syprises watch for PlodDos when the alpha is gone or not. They attack PlodDos. But Syprises need trust to eject/banish PlodDos. Alphas are syprises. Pups: Pups are small critters that may fight if able to, but only have 2 hits a time. They only have 3 dodges. But if they think they are injured, they can run very very fast. Guests: Guests are people that are allowed to see the pack, even without permission. This does not mean they're a PlodDo, and Syprises will even be ejected/banished too, if they eject or banish a guest. Syprises may also be warned before a Guest comes in. Destins: Destins are old members of the pack. They are not getting very old, but may die if they get too old. Flasters: Flasters are very old members of the pack and may die very very soon. Alvertories: Alvertories are prey that we eat, like geese, fish, deer.
Solay: Solay are unwelcome to the pack. They are enemies and must be caught by trackers.
Members: None in the pack yet! Trackers: Aing Hunters: Aing Alphas: Aing Omegas: None yet PlodDos: None yet Blowsuds: Aing (he's an alpha) Syprises: Aing Pups: None yet Guests: None yet Destins: None yet Flasters: None yet Alvertories that are mostly seen: Bunnies Solay: None yet _______________________________ Having pups (MALES READ THIS TOO!)
If you want to be pregnant, you must have a mate. If you want to mate, follow these easy steps. 1. Look for a wolf you want to mate and ask if you want to mate. 2. Just say "aroo gr aroo" to the male/female.
3. if the male/female says "bark gr aroo" then he or she wants to mate. (males and females you MUST do this to answer.) 4. Show likings to each other. If female or male wants to separate from you, he or she will say "gr bark aroo" to say that he or she wants to separate. 5. On this step, an alpha must be around. If there is and you think you are ready to mate, tell an alpha that you think you are ready. Remember, alphas always listen to what you say, so don't have a fit if you can't mate. 6. If the alpha says you can mate, somebody asks to lead or follow him or her. 7. Stay together. Don't be mean or rude to each other or somebody will separate you. LISTEN to the alphas or you can be ejected or banished.
8. When you think you are ready to get married, just ask an alpha. Don't ask so quickly, please. 9. When you are married, females, decide to have 1-5 pups at a time. (Pups must be available in CliffStars.) 10. Females, please don't have more than 10 pups. When you have 10 pups, please do not produce anymore. 11. Females have to ask pups to be in their tummy to get pregnant. You can still get married if you don't want to or can't have pups. 12. Males sometimes eat pups. Females, if a male tries to eat your pups, you have a free ticket for 6 dodges, because pups are actually the most important in the pack and it will be very bad if you can't dodge even once and a male eats your pups. Males, do not eat pups if there's no reason. You may be BANISHED on the FIRST TIME, WITHOUT WARNING. Males, you have 2 dodges for eating the pups.
13. If the pups are eaten, females cannot produce anymore. But this is kind of an ok time for you, females. Males probably won't eat the pups often, because they will weaken if they do so. When pups go down a male's throat, they stab the throat with their teeth. Then you can attack them if you wish, without an ejectment or banishment.
REMEMBER: Button Boy is also a staff of CliffStars Wolf Pack. LISTEN to him. REMEMBER THIS TOO: The pack is very rare, but is mostly in the Black Forest. If you cannot find the pack, try to whisper Aing or Button Boy to ask where they are. To get to Black Forest, type !Blackforest then enter. You will be at Black Forest. The pack may be anywhere in Black Forest, but they are mostly resting in the grass on the right.
What type of information is kept by Unix-like systems about each file on your computer?
The filesystem will keep metadata like filename, file permissions, file type (as far as whether it's a regular file, a directory, a named pipe, device file, and so on), file creation and modified date. In addition, if the filesystem being used utilizes inodes, it will also have information on the inode that file is on.
Transmitted means to be passed on from one thing to another.
Why do they call a bus in serial bus?
A bus is just a collection of wires or a means to carry data. The term came from the old days when the main board only had traces and sockets, and no real components. The backplane resembled the "bus bars" in a telephone system. Now, a bus is generally traces on a motherboard or a type of interface.
Serial here refers to data being sent end-wise, one bit at a time. If it were parallel, at least one byte would be sent at a time.
What digital control device processes the input information from sensors?
The controller processes the input information from sensors.
When you have a good usb device what is the simplest way to determine that the usb port is good?
Plug two or three devices into that port if none of them work the port is defective.
Who invented the Stenotype on punched paper strip in 1830?
Karl Drais, a German inventor, created the first Stenotype which used a punched paper strip in 1830. The machine was then known as a shorthand machine, the word Stenotype was not used until around 1910.
What are steps to take when copying data from one CD to another?
Assuming you only have 1 CD drive, you will need copy the data to your hard disk (or possibly a flash drive), remove the original disk from the CD drive, put the blank in, and burn the data that you copied to your hard disk.
