How do you control space-ball sensitivity?
start>control panel>keyboard properties and the sensitivity is in there but it's for all keys
Which has greater resistance to transmission errors Binary signaling or Analog signaling?
digital signals (usually binary coded) can include extra information that can be used for error detection or even correction. this allows recovery of the original signal, either by requesting retransmission or by directly correcting the error.
analog signals can't include any extra information needed for this purpose. it is impossible to distinguish an error from the original data.
A PLC stands for Public Limited Company. A PLC is a company owned by shareholders, normally the business will be owned by two people minimum. PLC is also limited liability so this means shareholders are only responsible
For the company's debts up to the value of their shareholding. Examples of PLC businesses are Tesco, marks spencer and Vodafone. A lot of big companies go for PLC because unlike a private limited, a PLC is able to advertise the sale of shares and sell them to the members of the general public though the stock exchange. Also in PLC the accounts are available to anyone and are usually large business. The sector would be private and the profit would go to the shareholders. A main Public limited company business that we would know is NatWest.
Can Bucky balls wipe your hard drive?
No. Buckyballs are any molecules composed entirely of carbon in any one of
a number of certain physical arrangements. They do have unique chemical
properties, none of which, however, includes malicious magnetism.
Is a minor in Robotics and mechatronics good if you are majoring in Computer Engineering?
Definitely. That robotics course is going to help you get more involved and learn more lower-level sort of stuff for that Computer Engineering Course.
Where to download glomosim simulator?
Glomosim simulator project a popular simulation tool which is freely for education, research and developed from springer paper. Models of layers in Glomosim simulator. Glomosim network simulation environment.
Local Area Network card.
It is necessary so you can connect to Broadband connections.
They are very inexpensive and are easily replaced, even if you have onboard LAN, just put a new card in one of your expansion slots and let it configure.
Make sure to go into your network connections in Control Panel and disable the bad one first.
What do you use to store things onto the A drive on a computer?
I believe the A: is for a floppy disk
What is the definition for an input and output machine?
An input device is a device which is used by the user to enter data into the computer system.
An output device is a device which is used by the computer to send data back to the user in a way that the user can understand.
It is possible for a device to be both an input and output device simultaneously. For example a force-feedback joystick takes input from the user, but also communicates to the user with a series of vibrations or force-actions.
In the kin of electronics, breadboards are used for experimental testing of circuits. Once a circuit is laid out on the board, components can be easily added or taken out of the circuit. No soldering is required on the board as there are specialized clips that hold the components firmly. Once the circuit is tested and works the way it was designed to a PC board is designed to take the components
The computers primary function of the BIOS is to turn the cooling fan on?
No.
The BIOS (Basic Inputs Output System) initially 'boot's the computer. You know how the computer turns on, then beeps? Before that beep, it is doing a 'POST" (Power On Self Test), a very rudimentary test that makes sure all computer peripherals are working. CPU, Motherboard, RAM, storage controller, video, etc.
If it passes, it gives the single all-clear 'Beep!' If there's a problem, it will produce a beep code to inform you what went wrong.
It will then initialize and configure your computer based on the CMOS settings, such as what speed the processor, RAM, and videocard run at.
Then it boots the operating system from a storage device.
It also, behind the scenes, manages many of the more basic hardware functions of the computer.
Without the BIOS, no computer would work.
What is ES damage of computer components?
ES stands for "Electric Static". When there is static around a component, a short current runs through it. However, when the static discharge is removed, it causes corruption or data loss just like what would happen if you force your PC to shut down.
a megabyte is more than a kilobyte it goes bit byte kilobyte megabyte gigabyte then terabyte a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes
What is the difference between URL and USB?
URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is what you put into your internet browser etc. to tell it where to look for something. e.g. wiki.answers.com.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a port on your computer that can be used to talk to a large variety of devices including flash storage devices, external harddrives, printers etc.
Will usb flash drives store data permanently?
No, it won't. Once you reformat your USB Flash Drive, everything will be deleted or removed.
What main advanatge do computers provide?
If you mean by a "general advantage", then they provide lots of advantages. Such as banking, (social) networking, research, paying bills, organizing files, preserving old documents, gaming, etc...
Can the main computer in a wireless network see pages browsed by a computer connected by wifi?
If you possess specialized software, you can do what ever you want if you have access to the network's router.
Well first off I would ask the question "how large is the company and what are it's LAN needs besides developing software." but some of the major LAN equitment I know you would need is a server for AD so that way they get permissions form a centralized point. But then you got to ask yourself do you want to have a SAS or a NAS. I would personal go with a NAS just because it is a network attached storage (backup). Then you have to look at networking equitment right?? well like the question I said you should ask. how large is the network and what are cost constraints? If it is only 5 users and you dont want to spend a lot of money then a hub would would, but if it is larger or you have more you can spend go with a swith (improved LAN speeds). or maybe you'll choose wireless for all your computers. but regardless of what you choose you need a router if your going to get on the internet. So a router is a definate. but if you have a small network and a COX like connection then you can live with a SOHO router which will work fine. and of course a modem.
So it really all depends on the need of the network.
IDE is a connection standard in computing. The pins refer to the ends of the cable used to connect devices (usually hard drives).
What THE best serial or parallel ports?
Usually serial. Parallel is almost completely gone, and serial is getting replaced by USB.
