What was bill gates inspiration for Microsoft?
He almost always seems to say that his vision was to have one computer per person. So that we didn't have to have tons of people waiting around to use a mainframe. If you look at most of his actions he was clearly focused on achieving this vision, and largely he made it happen.
USB = Universal Serial Bus

Disadvantage of customer service?
The most obvious disadvantage of (providing) customer service is the costs of running that service for the business. upon reflection you realize that companies need to invest money and equipment of some sorts to be able to train their staff very well. the staff needs to be trained quite thoroughly in dealing with customers especially the the difficult. it is also time consuming and can costs the business money, in term of this situation for example. the amount of time it takes for staff training could be the time of which the business can use to make more money.
What are the four major system resources used by computer devices?
The major system resources to consider are the I/O port address, memory addresses, IRQ, and DMA settings.
Why are algorithms so important?
Algorithms are procedures that take in some input and produce some output. The reason why algorithms should be studied is because it does not rely specifically on technology. Algorithms do not require you to know java or c++ or whatever technology comes out tomorrow. It requires that you have an understanding of the concept of the steps that are involved to solve a problem for a given set of programming languages with common features.
In the past, there were no such things as having multiple processors in the early days. When the newer technology arrived, computer scientists, through the study of algorithms, were able to develop newer ways of solving problems...there are a lot of different programming languages that offer multi-core programming and it doesn't matter as much which language you use...you can get the same rate of growth of performance/memory as the ones developed by computer scientists.
The topic of algorithms is important in computer science because it allows for analysis on different ways to compute things and ultimately come up with the best way to solve a particular problem. By best I mean one that consumes the least amount of resources or has the fastest running time.
What is a human spaceflight program?
A human spaceflight program is a people making successful programs, programs that were canceled, and programs planned for the future.
How has computers advanced the fields of multimedia?
It has grown to be a wonderful thing that has happened. before the was no computer and now there is thousand of them. The first computer would not even fit in a classroom.Now you can take it anywhere. They are faster, smaller,and more advance. They also have touch computers which are controlled by the touch of your computer. Even though there are thousands of computers. They cost more than ever.
What is the cost of a super computer is?
The cost of the current fastest supercomputer (IBM's Roadrunner) was around $133 million. However, with the current state of technology, new cheap supercomputers are starting to be mass produced. For example, NVIDIA's soon-to-be-released Tesla supercomputer will only cost around $10,000, which is comparable to many high-end gaming PCs on the market already.
Can you get the source code to a made to order software?
Only if you made that part of the contractual agreement when you employed the software developers. However, software developers aren't keen to give up their intellectual property, so you will likely end up with an inferior product.
Write a program that defines a template function named add(). This function takes two arguments, add two variables and then return the sum. In main function, define two variables of type int, two variables of type float and two objects of type 'String'. Now call the add() function three times for these different data types. Note: String is a user-defined data type and for this you have to define a class named 'String'. When template function will be called to add two objects of type String then it must concatenate two strings. Your output should look like this: Sample Output: Enter two integer values to be added Enter First value: 12 Enter Second value: 25 Enter two float values to be added Enter First value: 13.5 Enter Second value: 14.2 Enter two Strings to be added Enter First value: Virtual Enter Second value: University Addition of two variables of different data types Sum of values of type int = 37 Sum of values of type float = 27.7 Sum of values of type String = VirtualUniversity
How do you open Command Prompt in school when the command prompt is blocked as well as run?
open notepad (right click new word doc) type in this
@echo off
command
comand.com
pause
save this as somthing.bat
the .bat is importaint
now save this to your desk top at school and click on it that will open CMD
What middle school classes do you half to take to get into higher computer classes?
That would depend entirely on your particular middle school. Personally, the middle school I went to had no computer program (and none of the classes I took there had any impact on whether or not I could take any of the computer classes in high school).
What is the best data type for storing your birthday?
The choice of data type for storage the date of birth of a human depends on how the algorithm will use that data.
For algorithms which store this data merely for display purposes, storing the date of birth as a text might be suitable.
In many cases, however, operations such as comparison for equality or greater-than or less-than relationships are required, for example in order to support sorting and searching algorithms. This typically leads to the implementation of a numeric data format, often using a scalar such as a 16-bit or 32-bit unsigned integer. Such a format could, for example, encode the date of birth as the number of dates since January 1st, 1970.
This method limits the maximum age of people on record (1-1-1970) and has a limited lifetime, as it may only support 216 or 232 days in total. While these limitations may be perfectly acceptable in many applications, a more general approach might use a data structure containing distinct numeric fields for the day, month and year, possibly including other details such as the calendar system, or an uncertainty factor (useful when estimating the age of archaeological finds, for example).
Many databases and some programming languages provide built-in support for data types such as Date and Time, which might be suitable for a given application, subject to the application's requirements and limitations imposed by those data types.

Dear Mr. _________,
My training in computer sciences would enable me to solve Taylor's engineering problems, and I am very interested in holding a position in your engineering department.
In June of this year, I expect to receive a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from North Carolina State University. Since September of 2000, I have been participating in the University's Professional Training Program at Computer Systems International in Raleigh. In this program, I was assigned to several staff sections as an apprentice. Most recently, I have been a programmer trainee in the company's Engineering Department, and I have gained a great deal of experience in computer applications. Details of my academic courses are included in the enclosed resume.
If there are any open positions at Taylor, Inc., then please let me know whom I should contact for further information. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
(signature)Your name
To make a window fill the screen use the button?
Click the Maximize button, usually the middle of three buttons provided by the operating system on the top left or top right of the application window.
There are basically three types of programming errors. 1) logic errors, where conditions or variables are not described correctly, and a result does not follow according to the rules of logic. For example, allowing a condition of "pregnant=yes" and "gender=Male" to exist. 2) syntax errors, where a variable is misspelled or a function is used incorrectly, leading to an error in compilation because the computer doesn't understand your statements. An example of this is misspelling a function name or assigning a wrongly typed variable, for example a string to a number or something like that. 3) design errors, where a flaw in the algorithm or a mistake in the flow of processing causes an incorrect or incomplete result to be determined. In other words, something like forgetting to allow for sales tax in an invoicing system or the like.
This is happening because when the programmer is displaying the number, it is being displayed as a character with a decoding process of a = 1, b = 2, etc.
5 + 8 = 13 = m
How do you find by program a given number is integer or float?
If it contains a decimal point or an exponential part, then it should be handled as a float (or double).
You can determine an existing variable's type in C using the type() function
Can you write an assembly language program without using USING instructions?
Sure. Example for IBM System/360:
STM R14,R12,12(R13)
L R15,0(R1) ; param#1
A R15,4(R1) ; param#2
L R14,12(R13)
LM R0,R12,20(R13)
BR R14; return to the caller, return value in R15
