Why is a router regarded as a computer?
Because it shares the key attributes of a computer. We just don't think about many things as "computers" because they aren't like traditional Personal Computers (PCs) or similar general purpose machines. The attributes a router shares with a computer depend on your viewpoint.
From a Networking point of view:
Computer networks don't really care that much about the function of the devices connected to it, that's not their job. A router has a MAC address and has (or is assigned, from another router) an IP address, just like the computers on the network. For all intents an purposes, it is just another computer.
From a Hardware point of view:
A router contains a processor and runs an operating system (firmware). It is programmable (usually). Input/Output (I/O) can be performed. These are the main attributes of what we call a "computer". A router is a computer, just one with a limited intended purpose.
From a layperson point of view:
You can't play solitaire or minesweeper on it. It is not a computer.
Is there any skope of computer engeneering now-a-days?
why not comp is most used machine in this world
every field of science make use of it
not only for science its been used for every work on the earth
ya i know it industry not at its best at this time
but it dosent means that it is finished
there are ups and downs in it industry
it rises every times it fals down
The latest input and output devices?
The latest input devices include: Point of sale, Touch pad, Smart card and Touch screen. The latest output devices include: Terminals, Plotters
Yes,you can do that.As we know that there are splitters to split audio from one output plug like 3.5mm jack of phone.So by using that you are able to connect to two earphones just in one output plug.Similarly you can use a wire that have two plugs that can be plugged into you PC and Xbox and that wire should have a single output source which shall connect to your headset.You can either make it on your on or buy it online.The name of the wire your are using is combiner with two 3.5 mm plugs male and 1 female 3.5mm output.
In a laptop battery what meens Type D5318 rating and mAh?
D5318 IS THE STYLE OF BATTERY. MAH STANDS FOR MILIE AMP HOURS AND IS THE RESERVE POWER OF THE BATTERY, THE HIGHER THE NUMBER THE LONGER THE BATTERY WILL GENERATE POWER. OF MAIN IMPORTANCE IS THE VOLTAGE IF THE OLD BATTERY IS 11.1 VOLTS, THE NEW MUST BE THE SAME, NOT HIGHER OR LOWER
What is the 5 latest operating systems?
The 5 "latest" OS's would likely all be various Linux and Unix or BSD based distributions. They update much quicker then windows or mac-os.
How to Design Heat sink for IGBT?
Any fined aluminum extrusion with a flat smooth surface can be used then your IGBT is mounted on it with a layer of silicon grease in-between, but remember the mounting surface is also your collector, if your heat sink is going to touch other metal parts it is beter to electrically insulate the IGBT with a silicon insulator strip and insulating sleeves for the mounting screws, then the heat sink can be mounted on a box that is fitted with a cooling fan with the fins inside the box, else it can be mounted open with the fins in a vertical position for natural airflow over the fins
yeah..... the laptop is hooked up to a surveillance camera if the have cameras that are blue tooth/wifi compatible (able to use a microchip-which means the wifi/blue tooth are able to find a laptop. You'll need a sd card slot in the camera so it can show footage of you of whats happening. this is they way to block the footage. Like i just said the cameras are wireless and have usb cord connecting to any computer :)
What is the difference between firmware and drivers?
Hi,
the difference of firmware and drivers is the application of this piece of software.
The most electronic hardware only needs firmware to run basicly. E.G. a DVD-player needs firmware to know how to read a CD or DVD. But to have it accessed under a operating system like Windows you need a driver to access the CD or DVD or watch a movie.
To visualize: A car needs an engine to drive at all, but needs a person (driver!)to control it.
Cheers, Menno
IN A NEW COMPUTER
It's not that hard to install a hard drive if you are handy with tools and repairs. But there are a few things you need to know.IDE Interface cable:
The IDE cable is flat, usually gray, about 2" wide and has three plugs on it. The plugs are 40-pin connectors. One end plugs into the motherboard, and might be blue. You don't have to worry about that end, just leave it where it is. At the extreme other end of the IDE cable, opposite the mother board is the PRIMARY DRIVE (MASTER) connector. Then there is a plug in the middle that is the SECONDARY DRIVE (SLAVE) connector. The MASTER connector on the end might be black, and the SLAVE connector in the middle may be gray. Make sure the MASTER connector is plugged into the Master hard drive. I've heard people say that it really doesn't matter, but I've experienced that it does. I had my drives plugged in wrong, and my hard drive kept crashing.
Jumper Block, Jumper
At the back of the hard drive is what is called a Jumper Block. The Jumper Block has a little, tiny plug in it that connects two of the pins. Depending upon where the little, tiny plastic plug is plugged into, determines whether the drive set up as the Master or Slave. There are 4 possible settings depending upon whether there is only 1 drive on the IDE cable or two drives plugged into the IDE cable. The 4 settings are:
- Cable Select - (Usually the default setting) The jumper plug is usually all the way to one side nearest the power supply plug. If your system supports "Cable Select", then the system determines which will be the Master and which will be the Slave.
- Master - For when two drives share the same IDE Cable. The hard drive that is booting up your computer should be the Master.
- Slave - Also for two drives
- Single - The jumper plug is not present. For one drive on the IDE Cable.
1) Take the hard drive with Windows '98 out of the old PC.
Remove the cover.
Unplug the power supply
Unplug the IDE cable
Unplug any other wires
Remove the screws on both sides of the hard drive
Slide the old hard drive out.
2) Change the jumpers on the w98 drive to indicate SLAVE (exact jumper configuration varies by make and model of hard drive)
You will need something like tweezers or something very small to get the jumper out. The jumper is usually a little piece of white or black plastic, and it's very small.
Sometimes the hard drive will have letters stamped into the metal to indicate which is the Master and which setting is the Slave.
3) Verify the jumpers on the XP drive indicates Master or Single/Master (Single only will not work).
The hard drive in the new computer probably will already have the jumper plugged into the Master slot.
4) Put the old drive into an open slot in the new PC and secure it with screws
5) Connect the open connector from the same cable as the existing hard drive of the new PC.
Most computers have two IDE cables. Each of the cables has two plugs on it.
6) Boot up the new PC
7) In Windows Explorer you should see your old W98 drive now as either D-drive or E-drive. In my computer, my second hard drive shows up as F: drive because I also have two CD burners.
8) In Windows Explorer you can copy or move files to your new drive. I like to right click the Start button, and choose "Explore" as a fast way to get into Windows Explorer.
What is the inner radius of the troposphere?
About 4 km wider than the diameter of the Earth's surface.
"This layer is typically a few hundred meters to 2 km (1.2 mi) deep depending on the landform and time of day." -Troposphere (Wikipedia)
Is 1.7ghz processor play video games?
If the processor you are referring to is only a single core, than most likely not. If you plan on playing more modern games, then you would want to definitely upgrade to a better processor. But if you are planning on using it for older games or online games, then it would work just fine.
Can battlefield 3 be played on a desktop hp pavilion p2 series?
I believe that it can. Look at the system requirements to see if your computer can play it. You probably will need to have a graphics card and certain extras that the game can run smoothly though. The system requirements can be found on their website.
