A multi-threaded application is an aplication that runs better on a dual core or quad core processor. The application splits up the tasks for example in a game it might use one core for rendering terrain, and another for sounds or 3d rendering.
KB = kilobyte , while MB = megabyte
kilobytes are smaller than megabytes.
1 kilobyte = 1,024 bytes
1 megabyte = 1,048,576 bytes
There are 1024mb in 1gb.
Therefore 256mb = 0.25gb (quarter)
256 000 000 000 000 trillion?
What different between Internet and Internet?
The internet ? An internet?
To be exact in the answer. There is no difference.
However, in grammar we use 'an' if a noun begins with a vowel sound. And If a common or collective noun is singular than we use article a or an before it.
Generally we use 'the' before a familiar thing or such common or collective noun which has been mentioned earlier.
E.g. There was a lion. The lion was very hungry.
(otherwise there are 20-26 rules for using 'the')
Is information data that have been organized or presented in a meaningful way?
Not at all. Information is information. Oranising it makes it easier to manipulate or find, it does not alter the value of it.
What is non peripherals devices?
Well, a periphel device is any device that can connect to the outside of a computer system, anything that cannot connect directly to the outside of a computer would be classed as a non peripheral device.
If there are 1048576 KB in 1 GB it would be 3145728 KB in a 3 GB

Who invented the second computer?
It depends on precisely what you mean by computer. Mechanical devices capable of quite complicated computations were known to and used by the ancient Greeks ... the Antithykera Mechanism, for example. Blaise Pascal invented a mechanical handheld calculator, and of course, there's the slide rule. Charles Babbage described, but never actually built, a programmable mechanical computing machine.
On the electronic side, there were electromechanical devices, analog computers that could nearly instantly "solve" very difficult problems of certain types, digital computers that were designed to solve a single very specific type of problem, computers that could be reprogrammed by rewiring them, and finally the fully programmable electronic computers that we're familiar with today.
You pays your money and you takes your choice. Wikipedia has a good article on the history of computing if you want to know more about all of these.
What features does a graphics card have?
Graphics cards processes all your graphics in your computer. It plays a important role for gamers. All Graphics Cards have memory, these come in 128MB, 256MB, 512MB. The more memory your computer has, the faster it will run and combine it with a good processor equals awesome pc! Memory in your CPU (central processing unit or know as processors), GPU (Graphics Processing Unit or Graphics card or video card) is just like extra RAM which makes your computer faster. The more memory your computer has, the faster it will run! If you are looking forward to buying a graphics card, you should find someone who can install it and nvidia graphics cards are highly recommended by me. PLEASE DO NOT buy INTEL graphics cards as they aren't good and have many common problems such as: breaking down soon like 3-12months, blue screens etc.
Nvidia Geforce 7800GT are decent graphics cards that are a couple years old but still run ultra smooth and these can range costs about $150-$250, depending on how much memory it has. Although Nvidia 9800GT will flog it and probably the best but costs around $400 depending on how much memory it has.
Also, ATI cards are also good but i recommend nvidia because they are better.
I hope this information was useful!

What do buffers and registers do?
Buffer register is a device uses to hold the information used during transfer.
What does 010110 mean in computer speak?
That is 22.
Basicly, there are two types of binary: NUMBERS, and ALL. NUMBERS is like this: if you want to write 22 in binary then write it like this:
32 16 8 4 2 1
0 1 0 1 1 0
ALL is like this: If you are doing ALL then they are in groups of eight like this:
01000001 01110010 01110100 01110011 01101011 01111001 01100100 01001010
250 mb = 250 millibytes
250 mb is equivalent to .250 of a single byte.
1. A unit of computer memory or data storage capacity equal to 1,048,576 bytes (1,024 kilobytes or 220 bytes).
2. One million bytes.
Usage In computer science and industry usage, the prefix mega- often does not have its standard scientific meaning of 1,000,000, but refers instead to the power of two closest to 1,000,000, which is 220, or 1,048,576. The calculation of data storage capacity (measured in bytes) is based on powers of two because of the binary nature of bits (1 byte is 8, or 23, bits). Thus, a megabyte is 1,048,576 bytes, although it is also used less technically to refer to a million bytes. Other numerical prefixes are interpreted similarly. With data transmission rates (measured in bits per second), a bit is considered as a signal pulse, and calculations are generally based on powers of ten. Thus, a rate of one megabit per second is equal to one million bits per second. However, in certain technical contexts, megabit can also refer to 1,048,576 bits. Similarly, the prefix kilo- refers to 1,000 or 210 (1,024); giga- to 1,000,000,000 (one billion) or 230 (1,073,741,824); and tera- to 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) or 240 (1,099,511,627,776).

What is the conclusion for computer based information system?
Another conclusion was that the work had shown how a system for dementia could be developed using an argumentation dialogue between a computer agent and a human participant with an algorithm for automatically attacks and an improvement of reasoning ensuring the accuracy of the winner election.
What chip inside the computer performs processing?
It is a chip they call the central processor - it is generally connected to the other processing devices via the motherboard also uses a battery to keep it's memory the connection is via solder on the motherboard http:/encyclopedia.farlex.com/Computer+processing+chip
Is anything bigger than a terabyte?
Oh yea, a Gigabye is 1 billion, then you have a Terabye that is 1 trillion, then Perabyte with is 2 to the 50th power (sorry don't have a calculator) and Exabye which is 2 to the 64th power. With the new 64 bit CPUs they, in theory, are able to get 16 Exabytes of RAM.
Give an example of a classful subnet mask give an example of a classless subnet mask?
Subnet masks that use either all ones or all zeroes in an octet are called classful subnet masks. 255.255.255.0 (11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000), 255.255.0.0 (11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000), 255.0.0.0 (11111111.00000000.00000000.00000000)
