Can a computer function without one?
This depends on your definition of peripheral devices. A computer certainly does not require I/O devices such as displays, keyboards or printer to function, although most will be designed to interact with the world to some extend.
A traditional CPU requires additional parts, such as memory chips, to function, but micro controllers or more modern system-on-a-chip designs offer more or less complete solutions within a single chip: volatile and non-volatile memory, video, network, and processing cores.
These devices are designed to function without, or with a minimum of low-cost, typically passive, additional electronic parts. Whether you'd consider such a system one with or without peripheral depends on your definition of peripherals though.
Who made the staples that you use today?
On August 7, 1866, the Novelty Paper Fastener was patented by the Patent Novelty Mfg Co. It allowed a single staple to be loaded and was used to mainly bind papers or books, but also carpet, furniture or boxes. Staples for the fastener were manufactured by the P.N. Mfg Co. in several sizes.
How have computers progressed over the years?
In the early 1980s the games were not really computer based they were "games machines". The games that first came out were databased parser type - text based adventures. This quickly moved to sprites - these were blocks coloured and ran from a crude assembled language. One of the first "good" graphics machines on the market was the Amiga - an apple machine who are still very graphic strong. many games can out on the spectrum and Amiga. Games were very low memory as hard drives and ram increase were not heard of many of these played off floppy disc (Amiga) and data tape (Spectrum). With the introduction of hard drive came the more pixel based adventure games which used a scrolling graphics and even had ...............SOUND
Since then we have seen DVD based programmes, higher capacity machines , addon graphic cards with large running capacity and of course improved programming to make more life like corrector's. For those of us old enough to remember the speccies and Amiga's we have moved a huge amount in the machines gaming capacity. now we see AI programmes, 3 d capacities, full surround sound, On line global interactive virtual environments
How can you play music into a Skype chat or call?
You just hold the device that is playing the music up to the device that you are Skyping on and then the other person that is Skyping with you should hear it.
Is used to store large amount of data?
I don't understand the question you are asking...because its not really a complete question.
What is the definition of the term versatile in computer language?
Stands for "Digital Versatile Disc." It can also stand for "Digital Video Disc," but with the multiple uses of DVDs, the term "Digital Versatile Disc" is more correct. Yep, the technology naming people just love to confuse us. A DVD is a high-capacity optical disc that looks like a CD, but can store much more information. While a CD can store 650 to 700 MB of data, a single-layer, single-sided DVD can store 4.7 GB of data. This enables massive computer applications and full-length movies to be stored on a single DVD.
The advanced DVD formats are even more amazing. There is a two-layer standard that doubles the single-sided capacity to 8.5 GB. These disks can also be double-sided, ramping up the maximum storage on a single disc to 17 GB. That's 26 times more data than a CD can hold! To be able to read DVDs in your computer you'll need a DVD-ROM drive. Fortunately, DVD players can also read CDs. To play DVD movies on your computer, you'll need to have a graphics card with a DVD-decoder, which most computers now
How much does an Atari 2600 cost?
Atari controllers can be purchased online for between 10 and 20 dollars, usually averaging around $13-$14. Many of these controllers are not actually made by Atari, but are manufactured by third parties.
The same amount of power has to fit in a smaller space.
Yes PLUG N PLAY features in Operating Systems enable automatically configuration of adaptor cards and other peripherals as users plug or install them.
What is the difference between dell computers and ibm computers?
The Dell computer is one of the big name known brand of computers. Ditto the HP computer. The differences really depend on what you are looking for as both brands have many variations and different prices.
Where can you get a cheap Mac?
i believe there is a store called the "computer shoppe" that speciallizes in apple stuff, speciffically macs and mac software. I'm not sure exactly weither their prices are much lower, but they also sell refurbished old macs which you'll nodoubt get for less. tey also do custom stuff which i don't know many details about.
How can one make sure their computer is properly cared for?

Comcast modem default ip address?
Depending on the Make & Model of your modem, you are likely best off heading to the modem manufacturer's website, looking for the PDF or manual for the modem. If the device offers a "health" or administration page, the preferred method to access it would be found there.
Look on the bottom of your modem, it's there on most.
IP addresses are dynamic which means it creates the ip address automatically so static IP's will not work and they are never printed on any modems because each location is different. Or if you are trying to get into the GUI of the modem you type in 192.168.100.1

Why you call computer as a computing device?
'PC' stands for 'Personal Computer'. Technically speaking, All PCs are Computers, but Not AllComputers are PCs. PC is the name given to a computer that is either some kind of a laptop or a desktop computer. Some tablets are called 'Tablet PC' because they work like a normal personal computer.
The best way to speed up a computer is to buy more RAM. The main reason that a computer is slow is not because the processor is slow, but because it is constantly having to go back to the hard drive to get more program files. If your computer has more RAM, it will not have to go back to the hard drive over and over because it can save it on the RAM.
What part of a computer is used to store data?
For the short-term, specifically while you have the computer turned on, information is usually stored in RAM, which is fast, but volatile - it loses its contents when you turn the computer off.
For the long-term, information is stored in some non-volatile memory; traditionally, diskettes or hard disks have been used for this, but in some cases they are being replaced by flash memory. For instance, Cisco routers and switches use flash memory instead of a hard disk; so do the laptop computers produced by the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) foundation.
Does CPU Voltage affect the speed of the computer?
The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the main process driver in any machine. The slower that the CPU runs, the slower decision making occurs and commands channels to other memory based boards and I/O devices
What is thrashing in computer terminology?
Thrashing is a high paging activity. A process is thrashing if it is spending more time with paging rather than execution.
Thrashing is caused by under allocation of the minimum number of pages required by a process, forcing it to continuously page fault. The system can detect thrashing by evaluating the level of CPU utilization as compared to the level of multiprogramming.
Caused by:-

Where is a good place to find a battery charger for a HP laptop?
Second-hand HP laptop charges are available from websites like Amazon and eBay. Such items may also be available from retail stores like Best Buy, but availability obviously varies by location, especially regarding second-hand merchandise.
How many pages does an 80 gig hard drive hold?
Hard drive capacity isn't normally measured in pages, and the concept of a page is not universally defined.
A typical e-Book with the equivalent of 750 pages in paperback print consumes approximately one mega byte. 80GB hold 80000MB or 80000*750=60 million pages, based on this rule-of-thumb estimation.
