What is a killer byte on the computer?

Sounds like a confusion with "kilobyte". That is a unit of storage. A kilobyte is 1000 bytes, or 1024 bytes, depending on the context.

If you have a memory card slot in the laptop do you still need the card reader or is it already installed?

you need a card reader slot because without the card reader the memory card will not run in the computer. also the card reader slot serve as a software which must be programmed into t he computer.

How to work hard disk?

That is a very broad question as there are many types of hard disks. You plug it into your computer via USB. The device driver should automatically install. Then you should see the device show up under my computer. From here you can rename it, make folders and move content to the device.

What is the full form ascil?

Type your answer here... ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.

Computers can only understand numbers, so an ASCII code is the numerical representation of a

character such as 'a' or '@' or an action of some sort.

ASCII was developed a long time ago and now the non-printing characters are rarely used for

their original purpose.

ASCII was actually designed for use with teletypes and so the descriptions are somewhat obscure.

If someone says they want your Resume however in ASCII format,

all this means is they want 'plain' text with no formatting such as tabs,

bold or underscoring - the raw format that any computer can understand.

This is usually so they can easily import the file into their own applications without issues.

Notepad.exe creates ASCII text, or in MS Word you can save a file as 'text only'

How long does it take for a computer engineer to fix a computer?

Depends on the nature of the problem...if they need to send for parts or if its a difficult task. Also depends on the skill of the tech.

What does technologies refer in computer science?

Computer science is based on the most advanced technologies available today.

Computer architecture, computer hardwares and softwares, all are related themselves.

Is a word processor is a computer program?

Yes, documents created by word processors are software. All computer files are software. A word processing document is not a software application, but it is a software file.

Why isn't my slideshow wallpaper changing?

Might only work when the computer is asleep. There's a background; the wallpaper when your computer is active/when you're doing something on it, and ten there's the screensaver; which is the wallpaper when the computer is asleep. Make sure you have your slideshow set to the one you want. Then there may be a timer for how long after inactivity begins before your slideshow starts. You should be able to find all of this information if you right click on your wallpaper and hit personalize. By the way, most computers don't allow a slideshow as your background, but only as a screensaver.

What is shoulder surfing computer?

The practice of spying on the user of a computer (or other electronic device) in order to obtain their personal access information.

Is kilobyte an input or output device?

Kilobyte is a measurement term that covers data or memory equal to 1,024 bytes. Generally it refers to storage capacity, data set size or transfer rates. It is shortened to Kb.

What is the name given to the first computer (machine) language?

Initially Charles Babbage's difference engine could only be made to execute tasks by changing the gears which executed the calculations. Thus, the earliest form of a computer language was physical motion. Eventually, physical motion was replaced by electrical signals when the US Government built Von Neumann's ENIAC in 1942. This language followed many of the same principles of Babbage's "engine" and so, could only be "programmed" by presetting switches and rewiring the entire system for each new "program" or calculation. This process proved to be, as you can imagine based on todays systems very tedious.

In 1949, a few years after Von Neumann's work, the language "Short Code" was developed. It was the first computer language for electronic devices and it required the programmer to change its statements into 0's and 1's by hand. Although not fully following and very tirersome it was the first step towards the complex languages of today. In 1951, Grace Hopper wrote the first compiler, A-0. A compiler is a program that turns the language's statements into 0's and 1's for a computer to understand. This lead to faster programming, as the programmer no longer had to do the work by hand during the systems process and alos allowed for larger more complex processes to be undertaken.

In 1957, the first of the major languages appeared in the form of FORTRAN. its an abbreviation for FORmula TRANslating system. So basically the first language was in fact cogs and wheels.

What is the earliest computer device?

It mostly depends upon what you mean by "computing". Computing device can simply mean that the device is programmable and capable of automated calculations. In this case, the earliest known computing device is the "castle clock",invented by Al-Jazari. It was considered the earliest programmable analog computer, dating to 1206. The castle clock was able to automatically open doors to represent that an hour in a day has passed, and it was also able to be programmed to change the amount of time it keeps track of to show that a day has passed, allowing the user to compensate for the changing lengths of day and night throughout the year.
