Does RAM mean?

RAM means Random Access Memory, it is the computers temporary memory that it uses to store temporary variables and whatnot in order to function

Difference between bit and byte oriented protocol?

In bit oriented Protocol, a flag is used to frame the bits sent. Simply put, you have a fllag (01111110) and the required bits are sent after the flag and you end the transmission again with a flag. Using this method you can send any number of bits of any length. Another important fact is the zero insertion method used. Say for example, you want to send the bit string 01111110. You cannot do this because it will be interpreted as a flag. However, by adding a zero after 5 consecutive 1's as a standard, this bit stream can be send. The transmitter sends the string as 011111010 and the receiver removes the zero after 5 consecutive 1's and stores the data as 01111110

In byte oriented protocol(character oriented protocol) the receiver considers 8 bits at a time and figuers out the relevant character. This system is used when communicating with printers and keyboards which use ASCII characters exclusively. (All the ASCII characters can be covered by 8 bits (256 characters). The main disadvantade of COP is that you cannot send 9 or 10 bits, arbitrary bits. Furthermore, in COP there are special characters - channel control characters, eg- SYN character which is used to synchronize the receiver and the transmitter. These characters cannot be transferred as data. They will be misread as control characters.

What is the ASCII code for a capital A?

Where do you go in your computer to find your ftp?

FTP is used by servers, not personal computers. You can have a FTP on your personal computer, but you will need software and programs to do this. If you don't have the right programs then you don't have a FTP. There are some links on how to set up a FTP below. If your new to this you might want to use Windows XP to set up a server, and if your serious then use Windows Server 2003 or 2008. http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1491 | http://lifehacker.com/software/home-server/how-to-set-up-a-home-ftp-server-130806.php

What is the difference between unary and binary operations?

UNARY AND BINARY

a unary operation is an operation with only one operand, i.e. an operation with a single input, or in other words, a function of one variable.

eg- * Increment: ++x, x++

* Decrement: −−x, x−−

* Address: &x

* Indirection: *x

* Positive: +x

* Negative: −x

* One's complement: ~x

* Logical negation: !x

* Sizeof: sizeof x, sizeof(type-name)

* Cast: (type-name) cast-expression

int i = 0;

printf (" %d \n %d ", i++, i++);

a binary operation is a calculation involving two operands.

How does a management information system work?

It is very important to effectively collect, process, and use information to carry out the tasks of; deciding what to stock in your shops, also producing receipts for purchased items, and to calculate pay for hourly paid employees. This is generally dealt with using a form or management information system. Management information systems (MIS) are a combination of hardware and software used to process information automatically. Commonly, MIS are used within organizations to allow many individuals to access and modify information. In most situations, the management information system mainly operates behind the scenes, and the user community is rarely involved or even aware of the processes that are handled by the system.

What is difference between computer engineearing and information technology?

Computer Science deals with engineering aspects of computer hardware and software. To be more clear it will deal about microprocessors, compilers, datastructures, algorithms and fundamental blocks of computer science. Computer scientists deal with inventing faster processors or highly optimized algorithms IT or Information Technology is the application of hardware and software for a business purpose. IT professionals deals with all kinds of business like entertainment, banking, retail or any such and try to provide solutions to business problems using software installed on appropriate hardware. As many a times software solutions may not be available off the shelf so they may write custom programs to meet the business needs

List three factors need to consider when upgrading processor?

Clock speed, MIPS (if such information is provided), how many cores, and socket.

But all depends on what you really want to use it for. You won't need more than dual-core or a quad-core if you're just gaming (most programs and games don't use more than one).

However if you're into the content-creation industry (video editing/producing, YouTube or other video sites) or if you run a business that requires business-grade servers, then more cores will definitely help with rendering times and load balancing.

Compare and contrast RAM and ROM memory?

RAM can be edited/modified many times, while ROM usually cannot be modified. Some ROM can be changed slightly, or reset by exposure to UV light. but most of ROM has to be sent back to the factory if there is an error with it's contents.

What is a 'manual update'?

A manual update is one where you launch the program update yourself and make the selections as to what you want updated. The opposite is an automatic update, which happens when you restart your computer.

How Many Bits Are There In 1 MB?

There are 8388608 bits in 1MB, as there are 8bits in a Byte and 1024Bytes in a kilobyte and then there are 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte.
There are 8388608 bits in 1 megabyte.
