Does a dishwasher have an embedded computer?

This mostly depends on the kind of dish washing machine you own and what you consider a 'computer'.

If its an older machine, its quite possible that the machine 'logical' or controlling device is mechanical working off of timers, springs etc. It could be argued this does 'compute' (the first computer ever made by Babbage was mechanical) however in the modern sense (or in my opinion), a computer is a device that contains some sort of centralized processing unit (CPU) that does the complicated math/'thinking' for other functional devices that actually perform tasks. When a device can be programmed to perform/control multiple tasks, you're in the realm of computer.

Today, many appliances from your fridge to your dishwasher do have a computer of some sort in them. Lots of appliances actually run stripped down versions of Linux, a popular open source operating system like Windows on your own computer. So if your dishwasher is relatively new, theres a very good chance it has, or essentially is a computer with an aquatic device attached to it that it controls.

Sorry if this means you lost a bet.

Why can't an end user just load an application program into a computer and start computing without an operating system?

Software is a product. Its development and maintenance cost considerable amounts to keep that application bug free and fit for purpose. The developing companies invest huge sums marketing etc and to ensure that their product is not copied and passed on lock it with a code (key). The people that freely pass around software with access codes and keep the original are in breach of copyright and are also stealing the software as its not purchased. Many companies have a basic rule of thumb that some software can be placed on to another machine BUT only if the first machine is not using the software at the same time. Case of this is a package used in the office with copy at home. Therefore one or other in use but not together. If there is a need for both to be active then a separate licence is required. The police would not let you use you car tax on your car and loan that to a friend when they want to go shopping....

Some companies allow freeware in to the public domain - This may have a registration but it can be re-registed if passed to another person by that new owner. Software is like any other commodity - its there to make profit.

Why is computer programming necessary?

For a computer to do useful things, it has to be told what to do. That is where computer programming comes into play. However, computers require complex sequences of electrical signals which are difficult to learn and would require constant use of reference books. To simplify the process, you would learn a more human-friendly language, and a compiler converts what you type into the opcodes that represent these complex electrical signals. Then you would run a linker or similar build tool to add the required finishing touches and resolve all dependencies (references to other code and functions).

What are the operation performed when the computer is turned on?

When a computer is switched on, the power supply is taken out of standby mode and runs up to full power mode. Voltage is applied to the motherboard and peripheral units. At the same time a reset pulse is applied to the motherboard. This will start the Central Processor Unit, which applies clock pulses to the onboard chips.

On the motherboard the BIOS chip starts its program.

The BIOS checks the available amount of memory and checks that the keyboard and mouse are connected. This is known as the POST (Power On Self Test).

It then checks for available long term memory storage, such as disk drives and removable drives.

Depending on how it is set up, it will choose a drive and check whether a valid operating system is available.

If an operating system is available and bootable, this program will now run.

Control is now taken over by the O/S on the drive.

What happens next will depend on the O/S installed.

How do you convert 10 megabytes to kilobytes?

The 10 megabytes is equal to 10,000 kilobytes.

There are 1,000 kilobytes in 1 megabyte. A kilo is 103, and a mega is 106. There are 103 kilos in a mega. As a kilo is 103, it might be easy to see that there are 103 x 103 in 106 (because 103 x 103 is 106).

As there are 103 kilobytes in 1 megabyte, there are 10 x 103 kilobytes in 10 megabytes. That's 104 kilobytes in 10 megabytes, or 10,000 kilobytes in the 10 megabytes.
