What does an IRQ allow interface cards to do?
IRQ or interupt request :
An IRQ allows a device to request certain system resources on priority. Normally, the system allowcates the different non-competing IRQ numbers to different devices. The system allocated IRQs may some times be manually changed. However, it may lead to serious IRQ conflicts resulting in a hung operating system.

Should you be doing this yourself?)
The box that "shorted" while you working at it is in the middle of the circuit: the feed comes in and then travels on to another outlet.
A fault that opens a wire there would interrupt downstream devices.
Most likely you put some pressure on a loose receptacle (the receptacle mounting screws were not tight), causing the receptacle to shift inside the box, and pull the hot wire screw terminal against the side of the grounded metal box, causing a short circuit and resulting in an arc at the box. If the hot wire melted, it probably will result in all DOWNSTREAM (at the end of the circuit run) receptacles losing power also.
You probably find your problem at the "suspect" receptacle location, and if not there, check the cable from there back to the circuit breaker panel.
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS WORK SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power
at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND
always use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes
(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)
to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
What is a input and output device used for?
Input device A hardware device that sends information into the CPU. Without any input devices a computer would simply be a display device and not allow users to interact with it, much like a TV. Below is a listing of different types of computer input devices.
- Digital camera
- Joystick
- Keyboard
- Microphone
- Mouse
- Scanner
- Web Cam

On the older style ATA drives, now called PATA or simply IDE, each drive chain had two positions for drives. One was called the Master, and the other the Slave drive.
The drives performed in exactly the same manner, and the only difference most people would notice was that the Master drive was given a drive letter before the slave drive.
In short, a Slave drive does everything a Master drive does.
Tape streamer is it input or output?
A tape drive would be both input and output.
When saving information, the computer is taking information and sending it to the tape. When reloading information, it is taking from the tape back into the computer again.
What are some examples of a semi peripheral country?
Well semi-periphery countries tend to have large landmasses because this implies a bigger market... So China perhaps? That's what was on Wikipedia...
