What are the different functions of layout?

Layout FunctionsThe term layout implies newspaper lay-out. Related terms are format and page design. The way news items are placed on a page. Mind you, it is not confined to news items; it includes advertisements, news photographs (also called pix). A Chief Sub-Editor, or someone else, depending on the newspaper size and staff strength, plans a page depending on the news flow. Prior to that, the advt section marks out the advt that have to appear on the page and send in a dummy. The remaining space is meant for editorial content: news stories, graphics like cartoons, pix, charts, tables.

Based on newspaper style, or the day's news mix, the layout can be vertical, horizontal, radial or circus. (Terminology may vary from time to time or clime to clime. Currently, the term modular make-up is in vogue in Indian English newspapers. Language papers have their own jargon).

The main function of layout is to arrange news content in a proper order that the whole look has balance, contrast and harmony. Its function is also to grade news, tell the or show the news effectively. The functional design is the best design (layout). Well, the layour should not be clumsy or jarring. Then it is no make-up/layout at all. Make-up and layout are interchangeable terms)

Sorry if my first answer is too long.

How does the binary number system help us in everyday business?

In terms of day to day business, the binary number system holds no real advantage in the business world over decimal.

The binary number system is merely another means of representing numbers; akin to another language if you will. You can do the same operations in base 2 (binary) as base 10 (regular decimal) without losing any precision or inserting any errors. The advantage of base 10 is that people are taught to think on base 10. Everybody knows 2 + 2 = 4. Few know 0b10 + 0b10 = 0b100. (Note the use of the 0b prefix to signify binary.)

Where base 2 really holds it's own is in digital computing systems. In a digital system a data line is either on or off, 1 or 0. You cannot represent a base 10 digit on a single dateline. To directly represent a base 10 number digitally you need four datelines per digit. (This is known as Binary Coded Decimal.) However, this method is wasteful as 4 binary digits can store 0-15 but is only being used for 0-10. Also, because of that discontinuity special circuitry is required. With binary, the full range of the data bus (2 ^ (number of lines (bits)) can be utilized. Half-adders can be used for adding, and the twos-compliment method for storing negative numbers can be used which allows for subtraction using half-adders. Binary allows digital systems to operate. This, however, is unseen to most business people as knowledge of exactly how a calculator works is not requisite to use one.

I'll sum up with an old joke: There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't.

How do most worms enter a computer system?

A worm may infect a computer without any action on the users part, or it may trick a user into performing an action which would allow it to infect the computer; though a worm that requires a user to propagate borders on being a Trojan horse, which is another form of malware.
Worms may propagate over a computer network, portable storage, or any other means in which any data could enter a system by exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities in the computer's software.

Why do computers use binary number system instead of the decimal number system?

Computers use a bunch of on and off switches and don't think of numbers in groups of 10 like humans. They use powers of 2 because each switch can only be made in 2 functions; on or off with only two digits.
