What does center align means in computer terms?
Configure a cell to display the cell contents in the middle of the cell (with the same amount of space on both sides of the contents).
True.
POSIX stands for Portable Operating System Interface for UniX. It is an IEEE 1003.1 standard that defines the language interface between application programs and the Unix operating system. Adherence to the POSIX ensures compatibility when programs are moved/migrated from one unix computer to another.
AnswerStrictly speaking, POSIX is an API specification, in conjunction with a specification of certain specific utility programs which must be present. While originally based on the UNIX Operating System, POSIX does not have to mean a UNIX system. For example, both certain versions of Windows NT and IBM's OS/360 have received POSIX certification as complying with the specification.As noted above, POSIX is about insuring compatibility of programs between systems, allowing a POSIX-compliant program to run on any POSIX-compliant Operating System.
Basic concept of management control system?
the concept of Management control System is
- Planning activities of an organization
- Coordinating activities of an organization
- Communication information to different levels of the hierarchical structure
- Evaluating information and deciding the actions to be taken
- Influencing people to change their behavior.
- by doing this achieving the goals of individual departments and in turn overall goal of an organization effectively and efficiently
Is a floppy disk drive input or output?
It depends how you define these terms. Technically it is both, since floppy drives can be written to as well as read from. However, the term 'output device' normally refers to a means to provide information to the user, such as a screen, printer or speakers. Since a floppy drive can not be used to output information directly to the user (only to another computer), it could equally be argued that it is an input device.
How can you tell what BIOS your computer has?
The AMI or Award BIOS id appears at the bottom of your screen after power on, during memory count up. The PAUSE key should work at that point, allowing you to write down the BIOS number, the BIOS date, and the version. You must copy it exactly. Another (easier) way to get the Award/AMI BIOS ID is by downloading the BIOS Agent Plus software which will scan your PC and return your BIOS ID among other hardware information.
How does remote-access software help in the troubleshooting process?
Remote access software is used to access your desktop or laptop computer from another location and using another computer. These software programs allow you to log on to your computer when you are away from home.
What is the computers internal memory?
What do you mean? The memory stored on a computer is on the hard drive, or maybe you mean the "virtual" memory... the memory that is stored up on the process that is running on your computer currently, that's stored on the ram.
120 megabytes equals how many gigabytes?
how far i know 1Gb =1024 Mb
so: 192 divided with 1024 makes 0,188 Gb
am i right?
What does bmp mean in computer terms?
The BMP file format, sometimes called bitmap or DIB file format (for device-independent bitmap), is an image file format used to store bitmap digital images, especially on Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems. Many graphical user interfaces use bitmaps in their built-in graphics subsystems;[1] for example, the Microsoft Windows and OS/2 platforms' GDI subsystem, where the specific format used is the Windows and OS/2 bitmap file format, usually named with the file extension of .BMP or .DIB (source Wikipedia) or basic metabolic panel (BMP), a group of 8 tests used as a general screening tool. (You probably are looking for the latter lol)
What is interprocess synchronization?
Processes might need to communicate to each. Interprocess of synchronization is the?æ management of resource among process. It ensures only a single thread (process) access a resource at a particular time.
What are the Five Roles found in Information Systems department?
The role of information system is a proses of the tecnical aspects the ony of the organijataion should be awear the inviourmental information the have to benificialy point regarding the the company the sources will be collect and forcosting the long term information is very halp full and wealthy manegment
when two independent processes take place at the same time. this is either done by virtual threading ( whareby each process or thread is assigned acces to resources for a fraction of the available time, then either volounteers or is forced to relinquish resources to another process for another fraction) or multi core processing, whareby 2 or more compleatly independent processsors handle diffrent processes simutaniously.
How much gigabytes equal to 1TB?
Ok So the industries is 1,000 GB equals to 1TB
But In real computer term a gb is actually 1024mb
so 1024*1000= 1024000= 1tb
Where is cache memory located?
Cache memory is built into the central processing unit, commonly known in short as the CPU, or it can be located on a separate chip next to the CPU.
In other sense, cache is located between CPU and Main Memory in the memory hierarchy of a computer system.
just type allinurl:cache memory, in google search and you will find your answer with more pictures and a lot more about cache memory.
Yes. There are 1000 KB in 1 MB, so 16 MB is 16 000 KB.
Note! This is only approx calculations. It's actually 1024 KB in 1 MB, but that's not necessary for the calculations in this case.
Well 500 Megabytes(MB) is roughly half of one Gigabyte(GB). so depending on how much space your computer hard drive holds will determine your definition of "a lot".
this is the official measurement posted by Google....
1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes .
Most modern domestic computers have hundreds of gigabytes of memory - in that context 500 MB is not a lot.
Should you delete system32 to speed up your computer?
NO, system 32 is your computer's operating system. if you delete your system 32, you might as well buy another computer.
Difference of cache memory and normal memory?
A cache memory is a component that stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster. The data that is stored within a cache might be values that have been computed earlier or duplicates of original values that are stored elsewhere.
Primary memory (often referred to simply as memory) is the only one directly accessible to the CPU. The CPU continuously reads instructions stored there and executes them as required. Any data actively operated on is also stored there in uniform manner. RAM is one commonly used primary memory.
