Computer Terminology

Well 1 GB is 1000 MB so its more than 1 GB.

Cva:The data rate depends on the bus width. The no. of bytes that can be transferred per bus cycle = buswidth/8;

Any tool or tool kit that has been developed using available materials to make it easier to live and or perform a job/task is technology. These tools can range from the stone and bone tools of our prehuman ancestors to modern computers, from bow and arrow to modern assault rifles and nuclear weapons, from the potter's wheel to all the hardware and software running the internet. Modern humans have never lived without technology.

The four major ways of data processing is 1.accepting inputs 2.processing which involve the sorting and manipulation of data. 3.storage,data is been stored into the hard disk or any memory available and 4.output.data is been sent out as INFORMATION in a format that is readable and useable.

Computers use communication protocols to communicate with each other. Just as humans generally communicate with each other using a common language, computers must do the same. A protocol defines the language the computers will use and both computers must agree upon which protocol to use, via a standard "handshake" protocol -- a simple two-way communication that establishes a connection as well as the protocol that will be used for the actual communication. Only when both sides agree upon the actual protocol can communication begin.

As technology develops, protocols must evolve. Thus we have seen many ways for computers and devices to communicate and interconnect with each other over the years, each with their own set of protocols, each suited to a specific or general task. In the past we've seen COM, LPT, Ethernet, USB, FireWire and, more recently, wireless devices. Ethernet and wireless provide the basic transport system between any two computers today and often work together using intermediate devices, including wireless routers (which are themselves just simple computers). Without a common protocol, communication between all these devices would be impossible.

The most prevalent protocol in use today is TCP/IP, without which the internet would not work. TCP/IP is actually two separate protocols: Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol, but they work together with a third protocol, UDP (user datagram protocol), to provide a multi-layered suite of protocols. The top layer, the application level, is further split into separate protocols including HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol), FTP (file transfer protocol), SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol), DNS (domain name server), RIP (routing information protocol), SNMP (simple network management protocol) and TELNET (terminal emulation protocol), amongst many others.

All Internet-enabled devices must support TCP/IP version 4 (the current protocol), although most also support version 6 which is expected to become the standard protocol at some point in the future.

MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer III and it is a standard for audio compression that makes any music file smaller with little or no loss of sound quality. MP3 is part of MPEG, an acronym for Motion Pictures Expert Group, a family of standards for displaying video and audio using lossy compression. Standards set by the Industry Standards Organization or ISO, beginning in 1992 with the MPEG-1 standard. MPEG-1 is a video compression standard with low bandwidth. The high bandwidth audio and video compression standard of MPEG-2 followed and was good enough to use with http://wiki.answers.com/library/inventors/bldvd.htmtechnology. MPEG Layer III or MP3 involves only audio compression.

It depends, some systems say that 1,024 kilobytes makes a megabyte, others say that a 1,000 kilobytes makes a megabyte. I usually stick to the 1,024 rule because it seems to more widely used, I may be wrong, but it's worked for me. Hope this helped.

There are three kind of database mainly . First is network database it which we consider data is linked to other data by the means of some link.Second is object oriented database, that helps to include features like abstraction, encapsulation etc.Third is Hierarchical database , that follows a simple sequence or hierarchy of data , there are nodes and a main root.

The heart of a computer is the central processing unit (CPU). This device contains all the circuitry that the computer need to manipulate data and execute instructions. Motherboard is like that body of the computer, and the CPU is like the brain of the computer.

The Save option differs from Save As in that it saves the document with its default title and at the default location. On the other hand, the Save As option allows one to change the location and title of a document.

I'm not aware of any limit, except in terms of how much memory your computer can handle. If you are storing Bitmaps in all of your folders, the memory will fill up a lot faster than if you are storing text documents.

different area filling techniqes in computer graphics are boundary filling and flood filling.

By using both techniques we can fill the whole area.

The so called LED screens are not trully LED screens. They are simply LCD screens but they have white LEDs for Backlight.

'reboot' is just another word for 'restart'. it just means to turn the computer off and back on again. Rebooting sort of means to turn the computer off and on to make an installed program work.

An extended ASCII byte (like all bytes) contains 8 bits, or binary digits.

AT power supplies are connected to a motherboard with two power connectors, that must be aligned correctly. ATX power supplies use a single 20 or 24-pin connector that cannot be inserted incorrectly. AT power supplies are turned on and off with a physical switch. ATX power supplies are turned on and off by receiving a signal from the motherboard.

SCSI does not care about partitions. This is only the protocol used to interface with the harddisk.

There is probably a practical limit to the possible number of partitions on your SCSI drive. This is limited by its size mostly.

Normal limitations on partitions is something like 3 Primary partitions and one extended of which can contain more logical partitions. However not being 100% sure about limitations I find it logical to be about 127 or 255.

In any case more than what is practical for most uses.

It is greatly dependent upon which operatingsystem you use.

A partition is only controlled via software or even software in hardware.

Designing software for it, and you can easily have thousands of "partitions".

it is like having a book. If you write the book yourselves, you decide how many chapters this book will consist of. You decide the size of each chapter.

pixels do not go into megabytes. Kilabytes do. There are 1024 kilabytes in one megabyte. 1024 megabytes in one gigabyte and 1024 gigabytes in one tetrabyte.

Binary means consisting of or relating to 2, especially any kind of system that has two of something. The 'binary system' often means the numerical system that consists only of 0 and 1, as opposed to the decimal system that uses 10 digits. But there are binary stars, two stars that orbit around each other, and the word is used in many other ways as well.

GHz

Wrong. The performance of a CPU is measured in MiPs or MFLOPS

The clock speed of a processor is in GHz, but does next to nothing in determining the actual performance of a processor. A 4GHz pentium 4 can't even shake a stick at a modern-day processor clocked at 3GHz.

There is 1024mb (megabytes) in 1Gb (gigabyte) So there are 6144mb in 6gb (1024 x 6)

Stack overflow is a "bug", either in some software you have installed or something on the webpage. It could also be a coding error or a combination of a few different things. This is why the computer is sending you stack overflow messages. In order to fix it, try deleting the .frm file InnoDB: and not using the drop table.

"Boot up" is a phrase which refers to powering up a computer system. This is generally meant to include the loading of the operating system and any applications set to load on boot.

"Cold booting" is booting up a computer which was previously turned off.

"Warm booting" is restarting (and thus rebooting) a computer which was already running.
