What are characteristic of knowledge based system?
KBS are the systems based on knowledge base. Knowledge base is the database maintained for knowledge management which provides the means of data collections,organization and retrieval of knowledge. The knowledge management manages thedomain where it creates and enables organization for adoption of insights andexperiences.There are two types of knowledge bases.a. Machine readable knowledge bases: The knowledge base helps the computer to process through. It makes the data in the computer readable code which makes theoperator to perform easier. Such information sare used by semantic web. Semantic web isa web that will make a description of the system that a system can understand. b. Human readable knowledge bases: They are designed to help people to retrieve knowledge. The information need to be processed by the reader. The reader can accessthe information and synthesize their own.KBS refers to a system of data and information used for decision making. The system isautomated to work on the knowledge based data and information required in a particular domain of management activity. The processing is done based on the past decisions takenunder suitable conditions. Decision making is based on the fact that the condition issimilar to the past situation hence the decision is also is similar.Examples of KBS are intelligent systems, robotics, neural networks etc
A byte is the common term for a single character in a computer. It's comprised of 8 bits (0 or 1), which in binary (the base system of any computer) can be any number from 0 to 255. The computer then interprets the number as it's associated character.

FOR THE TEACHERS
You can't make the students learn better by changing the answer to the wrong one.
The humanity is positively progressing because the internet allows people to share the knowledge much faster.
By changing the answer to the wrong one you will only succeed in producing more Ds
Progress is= to knowledge share, do not slow it down!!!
AVD
P.S. A student is here because either he/she is not interested in a subject or a teacher is not good.
How does a computer convert data into information?
A computer performs certain operations on the data. Suppose we give any input to the computer . The computer then process the data . Finally it gives the information to us as an output that is nothing but the processed data.
What unit of memory stores 1024 kilobytes?
There are 1000 kilobytes in 1 megabyte, but a common misinterpretation is that there are 1024 kilobytes in 1 megabyte.
Most things are measured in 1000s (like hard drives, internet speeds, etc.), but memory is measured in 1024s due to the binary addressing.
- 1024 kibibytes (KiB) = 1 mebibyte (MiB)
- 1000 kilobytes (kB) = 1 megabyte (MB)
Which Windows command will identify the route that a packet takes through a network?
On windows OS the command is tracert X . instead of the X you input either IP or the destination or a domain name, Google.com for example. On Linux OS i think the command is tracepath.
A GB (gigabyte) is 1,000 time bigger than a MB (megabyte).
Analogue data is data in a continuous stream that has an infinite range of values that change gradually. One example of analogue data is the sound of a person talking.
We are capable of handling analogue data, yet computers require analogue data to be converted into digital data for processing.
1,024,000 bytes. A KB is a kilobyte, standing for 1,000 bytes. A MB is a megabyte, standing for 1,000,000 bytes. A GB is a gigabyte, standing for 1,000,000,000 bytes (or 1,000 MB). A TB is a terabyte, standing for 1,000,000,000,000 bytes (or 1,000 GB).

How do you change the zoom level in an apple mac?
right click your desktop (your computer screen) and click properties then click settings. you will see two blue rectangles that say screen 1 and screen 2. somehow you probably changed one of those screens.
choice 1: if you only use one computer screen, click computer screen number 1 and change the screen resolution until it fits your screen perfectly (don't forget to click the "ok" button after making your changes).
choice 2: you probably have a laptop and an extra screen at your desk for this one. if your laptop screen is zoomed in, click on screen 1 and change the screen resolution (and by making sure to click the ok button when you're done). if its your other screen that's zoomed in, do the same step but click screen 2 instead.
Not much. To put it simply, one song is an average size of 5 MB or so, and you have 1 MB to work with.
More specifically, one megabyte is the equivalent of 1048576 bytes.
How do you convert decimal fraction to binary?

There is no such thing as a "mega bite" However.... There are 8 bits in a byte. Mega means 1000. "Megabit" means 1000 bits. "Megabyte" means 1000 bytes. Since there are 8 bits in a byte, there are 125 bytes that make up 1000 bits (1000 bits divided by 8 bytes per bit = 125) A megabyte = 1000 bytes. Therefore there would be 8,000 bits in a megabyte. (8 bits per byte).
