Computer Terminology

It should be noted that most DLL files are subject to copyright, and redistribution legalese. Meaning, they typically come with a product such as Microsoft Windows or Word or what-not, and there is legal language in place that makes unsolicited redistribution illegal in many cases. Whenever you distribute any form of computer software (including DLLs), or whenever you obtain such software other than from the original vendor, you are likely to violate the law.

The computer gets power from the power suply inside the computer. from there the computer's bios kicks on and starts the CMOS program that is programmed into the BIOS chip. the CMOS program then begins to quickly check all the hardware. first it checks what kind of processor is in the computer, then counts the memory. It then checks the drives such as cdrom and harddrives then floppy. then it checks all the pci, isa, etc. cards and any other devices in the computer and gives each an irq (interrupt request). then the Bios (on most computers) checks first to see if theres a floppy in the drive and if so is it bootable and if so boots from the floppy. If the floppy is not bootable it then looks on the first hard drive's MBR (Master Boot Record) to see if its bootable and if so then boots to that drive.. if that one is not then keeps checking until it either finds a bootable harddrive or tells the user no drives are bootable and usually asks to insert a bootable floppy or restart the computer.

256.

Here we have 8 bits...

00000000 or 11111111 or anything in between.

If we have 11111111 this is essentially 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128

This adds up to 255. But wait....0 can represent something as well...255 + 1 = 256

However, in practice, 256 characters are never used for 8 bits. The theoretical maximum is indeed 256, however the ASCII (American Standards Code for Information Interchange) standard dictates that the first bit is to be used for something called parity. This is a small check to make sure that the correct code has been transmitted. For example, if there was the following transmission:

Character: @ASCII

ASCII Code: 06410

Binary: 010000002

However, there was electronic interference...

Interference: 000000012

Result:

00000001 = 110

01000000 = 6410

----------------------

01000001 = 6510

Character: AASCII

If this was an email address, instead of being john.smith@microsoft.com, it would now be john.smithAmicrosoft.com, which could be fatal for any communications.

Thus, parity is used... a parity bit is the very first bit of the binary octet. The rules are a bit hazy here, but let's just say that if it's 1, then the result must be even, and if it is 0, then the result is odd. This means that the signal would be:

Character: @ASCII

ASCII Code: 06410

Binary: 110000002

Interference: 000000012

Result:

110000012

Since there is a parity bit, the computer knows that there must have been a transmission error: 65 is not even.

1. The boot process starts by executing code in the first sector of the disk, MBR.
2. The MBR looks over the partition table to find the Active Partition.
3. Control is passed to that partition's boot record (PBR) to continue booting.
4. The PBR locates the system-specific boot files (such as Win98's io.sys or WinXP's ntoskrnl).
5. Then these boot files continue the process of loading and initializing the rest of the OS.

based on 1000 KB = 1 MB and so on based on 1024 KB = 1 MB and so on

4 Nibbles = 1 Bit 4 Nibbles = 1 Bit

8 Bits = 1 Byte 8 Bits = 1 Byte

1,000 Bytes = 1 KB 1024 Bytes = 1 KB

1,000 KB = 1 MB 1024 KB = 1 MB

1,000 MB = 1 GB 1024 MB = 1 GB

1,000 GB = 1 TB 1024 GB = 1 TB

~and the list goes on~

Don't confuse bits with bytes, ex. 8 Kilobits (Kb) = 1 Kilobyte (KB)

so on with Megabits (Mb) Gigabits (Gb) ...

Answer:

0.283685 GB based on 1000 KB = 1 MB and so on

0.270543098 GB based on 1024 KB = 1 MB & 1024 MB = 1 GB, and so on

most people will use 1 MB being 1000 KB, but the reason for 1 MB = 1024 KB was/is for the way computer memory is stored. that's why you see flash drives that are usually

256 MB, 512 MB, 1024 MB (1 GB), 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, and rarely 32 GB.

that's where it starts, because you keep with the pattern shown:

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 ...

I hope this wasn't too confusing for you, but maybe this will answer future questions & provide a better understanding if you can keep up.

P.S. for future conversions, If you'd like to convert based on 1000 KB = 1 MB, then all you have to do is move the decimal, and if you'd like to convert based on 1024KB = 1 MB, then google calculator will provide you with the correct answer. You can use google calculator by typing into their searchbar something along the lines of:

KB in 1.5 GB, but you have to remember to keep the letters capital, otherwise it will confuse it with Kilobits/Gigabits.

Oh, and remember, almost all ISP's (Internet Service Providers such as Charter & Qwest) us Megabits per second, not Megabytes per second, so to find out how many Megabytes per second they are advertising, just divide it by 8.

Cc stands for carbon copy and it means that whoever name appears after the Cc: will get a copy of the message. People who receive the mail can see who else is getting the copy of the message. The Cc header would also appear inside the header of the received message.

Bcc stands for blind carbon copy. With Bcc the recipients specified in this field do not appear in the received message. So all the recipients will get the message but cannot see others' name on the sent addresses.
Cc stands for carbon copy which means that whose address appears after the Cc: header would receive a copy of the message. Also, the Cc header would also appear inside the header of the received message.

Bcc stands for blind carbon copy which is similar to that of Cc except that the Email address of the recipients specified in this field do not appear in the received message header and the recipients in the To or Cc fields will not know that a copy sent to these address.
cc stand for carbon copy.

bcc stands for blind carbon copy, which means that the recipients can't see the names/addresses of who else got copies.
'CC' means 'Carbon Copy,' and anyone who is added in this field will not only see the email but will see who else the email was sent to, as will everyone else. 'BCC,' or 'Blind Carbon Copy,' means that those who are copied in will not be able to see who else the email was sent to, and neither would the original receiver of the email.
Originally, CC stood for carbon copy. Now, some refer to it as courtesy copy. BCC stands for Blind copy.
cc means 'carbon copy' . It means all recipients know the person who is 'cc'ed' is receiving a copy of the email.

Eg. When you send a message to your class mates belonging to a group mail id, a copy will be sent to the HOD. The group members will BE AWARE of this COPY being sent.

bcc means 'blind carbon copy' and only the person to whom the email is 'bcc'ed' knows he or she is receiving it. The important difference her is the TO recepient will not know the Bcc RECEPIENTS.
The term cc stands for carbon copy, and bcc for blind carbon copy. The cc addressee is visible in the email, but the bcc is not.

Disadvantages In Bullet Points:

- Time consuming.

- Chances of Human error. - Paper work results in need of lot of space to keep the data.

- Possibility of data duplication as there's no repetition check like in computer software's e.g Microsoft Access.

- Not more then one person can access data at the same time but in Computerized Information system many people can access the same data on the same time through networking.
