Computers

Desk Top Publishing. It's referring to that type of software.

It's the creation of printed materials using page layout on a personal computer.

Search Wikipedia under "Desktop Publishing" for much more details.

Widows is System Software. System software is used to run applications on the computer, like paint and Internet Explorer.

ConsumerReports is a great website for comparing companies. The reports change weekly, but currently, companies such as Dell which make computers according to your desires, needs and price range are coming out on top.

It is important to regularly run checks on one's computer to keep it performing it's best, especially virus checks. Once per week should be sufficient unless one notices something out of the ordinary like slower performance, pop-ups or page redirects.

Font sizes are usually measured in 'points'. 72 point text is text that is the equivalent of 1 inch in height overall. 12 point text is 1/6th of an inch high.

For the most part, Debian, Ubuntu (and derivatives), Gentoo, and Arch the top few of the most popular distributions for games (not to mention Steam can run on these, and that SteamOS was originally built on top of Gentoo, then later changed to a Debian base).

USB stands for Universal Serial Bus and is a standard means for connecting devices such as flash memory, printers, cameras etc. to a computer.

A computer in the 1950's would have been the size of a house, so it was both expensive and impractical to own one

a home group or work group

Depends on what type of local area network - the term is somewhat generic, as it can refer to anything from 802.11n wireless to Token Ring networks.

Generally, you'll need something called an NIC, or a network interface card. For ethernet (most wired networks), you need an ethernet card, or something that appears to have what looks like an oversized telephone jack on one side. Most computers these days include this, so check the back of your computer to make sure you don't already have one. If you don't, buy a USB ethernet adapter - they're not very expensive, and can be plugged into most computers with USB ports (same kind of port into which you might plug in a flash drive, looks like a rather flat rectangle). It should suffice as long as you're not doing anything exotic (intercepting network traffic, etc.) As for the vendor, Linksys if you can afford it, else it doesn't matter.

For wireless networks, you need a wireless card. Appearances vary, so it probably won't help you too much if I try to describe one. For most modern networks, you can use either an 802.11n (otherwise known as Wireless-N) card or an 802.11g (otherwise known as Wireless-G) card. There are a few more exotic networks type (802.11a, for example), but they're not seen often any more. Get the USB versions of those cards as well - they're much easier to install, and they'll suffice for most purposes. As for vendor, Linksys or Netgear if it's affordable, otherwise don't worry about it if you're using Windows (stick with Linksys, Netgear or SMC if using Linux - other vendors could give you headaches during configuration).

TeamViewer is a popular software application that is used to remotely access your pc. To use it, you install the software onto your pc as well as the device that you will be using as remotely (i.e. a laptop or mobile device). Next you open the program and go through the start up. It will ask for a password. This password will be used to access your computer remotely. Once you have everything setup, all you need to do is run the application on your mobile device, enter your ID and password, and your remote desktop should appear on your device.

because it helps people communicate and can make life more fun!

Finger print scanner, eye scanner (for high security area) ect.

they are micro chips too but very low cost and low performance one's...why will someone use i7 series processor in a thermostat ?

control people urself

On the top right section of the program you selected, you will see three small squares. These are found on almost every application, game or file that you open.

The first one, from left to right, looks like a dash. This is called your minimize button. It places your program in the task bar (typically the blue bar that is located at the bottom of your screen).

To retrieve the minimized file or application, just click on the tab in your task bar.

Some time in the middle of 2003.

There is no such thing as a thinking machine. As such, to date, no one has actually programmed one. Thinking machines are the work of pure science fiction.

Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, is purely academic. To date, no one has been able to program a machine that exhibits intelligence of any kind. Artificial intelligence is, by definition, not intelligence, it is merely the illusion of intelligence. In order to be classed intelligent, a machine must be capable of fooling any human into believing there is actual intelligence at work. So far, none have succeeded, but work in this field is still at a very early stage.

International Journal of Computational Methods was created in 2004.

Well, the the user does not directly control the hardware, unless they are a technician or something similar. The computer's operating system, IE, Windows 7, have a thing called a kernel, which communicates with the hardware and gives it specific directions. You have your hard drive, which holds all the files for long term storage, and the data is moved into the Random Access Memory, or RAM, for short term use. When the kernel needs information from the RAM, it moves that data into the CPU, where it is displayed on the monitor, so the user never directly has to control hardware. It is a very roundabout process.

Environmental modeling

Financial modeling

Atomic explosion modeling.

Cryptography

Data processing for big data experiments such as BABA and CERN.

its called a "boot-up"

Maintaining professional standards and effective capabilities for the future involves continuous learning and development, ensuring that individuals and organizations stay updated with the latest trends, technologies, and practices in their fields. This includes regular training, adherence to ethical guidelines, and fostering a culture of innovation and adaptability. Additionally, it requires setting clear performance metrics and conducting regular evaluations to identify areas for improvement and growth. Engaging in networking and collaboration can also enhance professional standards and capabilities.
