Why is a computer network useful?
Computer networks have several important purposes in the business and personal world. Whether a company or group needs to share resources, files, or even printing capabilities, a computer network will allow for it.
Which generation of computers used integrated circuits?
That is most commonly identified as the 3rd generation.
Can two computers have the same MAC address?
NO, its not possible to have same MAC addresses for two different network cards. because MAC address is a unique part of the recognition of the network card and it is also called as PHYSICAL address of your PC.
There is possibility of 2 network cards with same MAC address by 3rd party MAC spoofing techniques.........
Can a mainframe do the work of a server?
Wow, that's a BIG question. Why? Because mainframes are very cutting edge computers (despite what the public might know from watching movies stuck in the past), but they also have a very long heritage that lets them continue to run programs and handle data from decades before PC computers were even invented (again, people see an old program running & often assume that's ALL mainframes can do).
The only really true mainframes today are IBM zSeries mainframes.
The short answer is just about anything any other computer can do.
Now, there are qualifiers to that. There are some things other types of computers can do better if you throw enough resources and power into those other types of computers.
HUGE DATA MOVERS -The first thing that comes to mind that mainframes REALLY do well is move huge amounts of data around efficiently. These days that's usually in the form of databases.
STAY UP FOR 40 YEARS OR SO IF YOU WANT - RELIABLE - What else can they do? Be VERY VERY reliable. I've been working with them for over a decade now (I do have a background in other types of systems, but I wanted something that wouldn't break while I was asleep or on vacation). NEVER in my career has a mainframe we have (or anyone at other companies in our area that have mainframes, for that matter) gone down because of a hardware or operating system problem. NEVER. Reliablity numbers continue to climb, but the oldest mainframe we have is rated for uptime over 99.9999999% uptime (i.e. about 40 years or so without a required reboot/ reIPL).
SCALE MASSIVELY - You've likely heard of "virtual machines"... well, mainframes are where that started. You can run thousands & thousands of vertual machines on one mainframe. You can connect mainframes together all over the place (they don't all have to be in the same place) to allow them to grow the resources used (but you need to understand that almost nobody needs more than one mainframe to handle workload... these things can scale capability within the single refrigerator sized mainframe). However, if you connected several together, you could roll workloads around in a way that users would NEVER have to see a system go down.
LINUX - You might not know this, but Linux ROCKs on an IBM zSeries mainframe. Again, you could have thousands & thousands of virtual Linux servers on one refrigerator sized mainframe! You've likely had data served to you from a mainframe & never known it.
YESTERDAY, TODAY & TOMORROW - Mainframes are BACKWARD compatible. Stuff that was written when I was a baby STILL works & can be read on our systems (unlike many things I wrote on PCs in college that aren't in a currently supported format). New stuff of today also works on mainframes. This heritage is likely to continue into the future. If you have data you want to be readable in 40 years from now, mainframe is a good way to go.
MANY MANY MANY USERS ALL AT ONCE - There is NO other platform in the world that is as good at handling a LOT of users all at one time. There was a major financial firm that a consulting company talked into switching over to another platform. It worked just fine it testing.. there ARE other good platforms out there. However, in testing, they never had thousands of employees of a company all log on at the same time at the start of the workday. When THAT happened, the system became unresponsive. They switched back to their mainframe & never looked back. The mainframe can handle HUGE numbers of users & is VERY good at prioritizing workloads (so you can give more important workloads more resources).
I could go on, but I've got to go now. Perhaps I'll add more later. They REALLY are great machines, but it is a very rare person these days that gets to know these machines on a level to understand just how great they are!
What computers use what amount of watts?
it depends on the computer or laptop taken into consideration
it could vary from laptops using 50watts to computers using 300+watts
the one I'm using know states 90watts but that doesn't mean a thing since most of the time it uses less, or if it in sleep mode it uses say about -20watts
My HP ProBook uses 20 watts when idling to 50 watts with max processing.
Is computer important to humans?
People's lives now revolve around computers, all telecommunications use some form of a computer, the stock market has never been the same because quotes can be transmitted everywhere, so yes, computers are important to humans.
What is the purpose of a projector?
An output device that can take the display of a computer screen and project a large version of it onto a flat surface. Projectors are often used in meetings and presentations to help make sure everyone in the room can view the presentation. In the picture to the right, is a ViewSonic projector and an example of what a projector may look like. Projectors used with computers are small devices that are rarely much larger than a toaster and typically weigh a few pounds
The internet backbone connects four major computers located around the world Where are they located?
No one really knows where the backbone servers are due to terrost attacks but there are in mostly airports and major, major, city airports, If you want to experement and see if you can find them you can right-click on comand propt and click run as administrator type the command: Tracert (ip address or web URL) like for instance if you want to know where ebay's main server is stored and what servers you go throught to get to the server the command is: tracert www.ebay.com
and usally u can see the abbrivitions of airports and cities like for instance every tracert i perform always goes through texas.
What types of tools would you need to fix the hardware on your computer?
Main one, your hands and brain along with common sense. Others, anti-static wrist strap, Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, needle nose pliers (in case you drop a small screw somewhere). Very basic hand tools really, but if you don't know what you're doing, don't do it! Now if you're talking electrical system(s) then you'll need a bit more if you're trying to diagnose a possible electrical problem, and this you Can't do...(judging by the question itself)
What computer equipment theft?
Computer equipment theft can be used in alternate terms. The theft of hardware is the visible components, the theft of software is theft of parts of the operating system.
What are the three components of moral acts?
The three components of Moral Acts are objects, intention and circumstances. The Moral Acts are part of the theology of the Roman Catholic religion.
What box inside a computer case that supplies power to the motherboard?
The power supply.
It is a Switched Mode Power Supply Unit. SMPSU.
It provides three types of voltage at differing amperage capacities, from the mains supply.
5v Heavy duty
+12v light duty
-12v light duty.
The wires are color coded as to what voltage they carry and end in plugs which attach to the various hardware inside the cabinet.
Can you use a computer without an operating system?
The operating system (OS) supplies the user interface by which there is an interaction. No OS = expensive paperweight (can't use the hardware)
What is meant by computer hacker?
Traditionally a hacker is someone who is skilled at subverting technological systems and making them do things they were not originally designed to do. It later came to be almost synonymous with expert computer programmers.
More recently it's common use has come to refer to someone who breaks into computer systems. While these people are hackers of a sort they are resented by the original oldskool hackers because of the bad associations they bring to the word. The oldskool hackers call these people (the criminal ones) crackers, whereas the rest of the world separates hackers into 3 groups...
Black hat = a hacker with criminal intent
Grey hat = a hacker with no particular agenda
White hat = a 'good' hacker who helps secure systems
What will happen if you don't update your computer?
Updates are typically security fixes of some type or another. Some times they are "good" fixes and other times they are "bad" fixes. I prefer not to be bothered by the mess they can create and NEVER update my operating system. I use ZoneAlarm firewall and I pay attention to what it is telling me. (I don't let programs run that shouldn't be running, that I don't want to run, etc.) I have never gotten a virus or had any security issues. Some folks allow automatic updates and while some may never have a problem with it, most people I know end up with some sort of mess they can't fix and have to reload their operating system or take some other drastic measure to fix their computer.
How can the present computer system be upgraded to meet the challenges now and the future?
yes, but only to an extent, as newer technologies become available, outdated items wont be of much use, ex) I can upgrade my own computer I built with the latest CPU, but if another CPU comes out in the future, it might require a more powerful motherboard which would be in a sense, "changing" the "present" computer to a "future computer"
What are the different internal parts of a computer?

Are there any good portable touchscreen monitor for Windows?
I had been looking for a portable monitor with cheap price.
The Lepow and Asus are not bad, but it is too expensive for me, so I decided to find out direct distributors of these things.
some of those have the MOQ requirements, so i gave up on them. However, i found out a manufacturer who makes this things, and they starts to make its own brand called Viewshocker.
you can check on their website, just google viewshocker portable monitor.
compared with other famous brand, it is cheaper while the quality is outstanding, the color gamut, resolution is find for me.
What does it mean when a computer it booting?
Booting is the process where a computer performs all the activities required to be ready to use. The boot process typically includes reading the BIOS to identify hardware, read from the hard drive to activate the operating system, and running all the start-up programs to ensure all parts of the computer are ready for your use.
