Will the Internet ever shutdown?

It is very unlikely that the "Internet" in its entirety could ever be shut down entirely; At least not by us anyway. The only way I can fathom the internet ever being shutdown completely would be via some sort of enormous global electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Nuclear blasts create enormous electromagnetic pulses...but if there were that many nuclear bombs being dropped to shutdown the net via EMP, we are pretty much screwed. However, if our sun had a bad enough solar flare directed towards earth, the EMI from the flare could knock out EMP sensitive equipment worldwide. I am not 100%, but I think although we might suffer from effects of radiation poisoning to some degree, we would live through such an event...and we would just rebuild...so the internet would return.

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.

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.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of computer in sports?

Soccer Goal Line TechnologyThere has been a need for goal line technology in soccer, particularly as TV replays are showing in retrospect wrong decisions by the referee. The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has laid down four criteria that they want to see in goal-line systems:
  • The technology should only apply to goal-line decisions.
  • The system must be 100 per cent accurate.
  • The signal sent to the referee must be instantaneous.
  • The signal is only communicated to the match officials.

A promising prospect has been a "smartball" loaded with an computer chip, jointly developed by German companies Cairos Technologies and the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits, an engineering research and software development company, along with the Adidas athletic clothing and shoe company. The companies' technology uses a network of receivers around the field designed to track the ball's precise position in real time - including exactly when it has fully passed the goal line. That information would be relayed in less than a second to a watch-like device worn by the refere

Why are computers hazardous waste?

Computers are dangerous in the same sense as kitchen knifes are. If you know how to handle them they are not. However in our society computers are quite common and a basic understanding of computers is normally presupposed. Since however computers are more complex than kitchen knifes, there is a frightening amount of people who don't know how to use computers, don't care to learn that skill and don't admit to it out of fear of looking stupid. That is like "running around with scissors" and can do substantial damage (mainly financial loss). However it's not computers per se that are dangerous but careless use of computers. It all boils down to the stupidity of the users.
