My brother used your computer and looked up some bad things on WikiAnswers if my dad ever comes up here 2 my room and looks something up on here and sees the history hes gonna kill me?

Erase the history on your computer. Here's how:

In Internet Explorer, where it says "File Edit View", go to Tools and click on Internet Options.

Then it should say a whole bunch of stuff about your homepage, but click Delete Cookies and then click Ok...THEN go to history (which should be a button above your address bar on the screen) and click it.

Close the Today thing then RIGHT click on 3 Weeks Ago, 2 Weeks Ago, Last Week, and Today and click Delete.

That should do it, but if your dad finds out some magical way anyway, then just tell him the truth. "[Your brother] did it! I deleted all the history so you wouldn't see and think it was me. I don't know how you found out, but you did and it was him not me!"
But don't tell him that unless he finds out even AFTER you delete all the cookies and History.. GOOD LUCK!

And next time tell your brother that if he does it again you're going to tell dad. Make sure he doesn't use your computer to do it. If he does anyway, tell your dad or keep erasing the history & stuff (which can get annoying sometimes) .

**** Additional comment by gbaughma ****

If I was his dad, I'd still find it. You didn't delete the Temporary Internet Files. (Which is under the same location, Tools --> Internet Options).

However, I'd like to point out that HONESTY is the best POLICY. The second that you see something unsavory on your computer, stop what you're doing, and tell your dad. "Dad, I was about to use my computer, but there's some questionable things on here I think you should be aware of, so that I don't get blamed."

As a father, I would respect and appreciate that kind of honesty. It builds trust.

What does a computer do best?

What computers do best is very fast math. They can use this ability to be useful in other areas however.

A computer can do many things more than with a typewriter. There are many things you can do and you cannot imagine them! For example, you can look for information while you are typing whatever you are typing. With the typewriter you cannot do things twice at the same time. In the computers you can find many things and as I said before you can do many things at the same time. Look for information, pictures and the most important is that you will always find what you are looking for, no matters what it is, you will always find something involved with it. There are many things what you can do with a computer that I cannot say everything you can do with it in this day. I t will take more time to do and to explain what you can do!

What is the base of binary number system?

Answer #2:

The base of the binary number system is 2 .

=========================================

Answer #1:

1's and 0's my friend.

Binary = bi = 2 numbers

1

0

1 = +5v charge on a hard drive

0 = 0 charge

So your hard drive is primarily broken down into positive 5 volt charges and spaces with no charge or a slight negative charge, which the computer reads as ones and zeros.

these 1's and 0's are then turned in to a hexidecimal system which is then turned into Ascii test, which is the readable text you see here:

Ascii text = H E L L O

Hex = 656C6C6F

Binary = 01101000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111

Binary numbers as the name suggest uses only two digits which are 0 and 1. combination of 0's and 1's are used for representing other numbers. this system is used to communicate with machine so machine understandable language is known as machine language. Similarly in Octal number system 8(octal) digits starting from 0 thru 7 like wise decimal(=10) system 0 thru 9 hexadecimal(=16) 0 thru 9 and A thru F to constitute 16 digits.
