What computer requirements are necessary for photo editing?
Using the Photoshop CC as the basis (other programs are available, but won't be used for this example):
Windows- Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon® 64 processor (2GHz or faster)
- Microsoft® Windows® 7 with Service Pack 1 or Windows 8
- 1GB of RAM
- 2.5GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on removable flash storage devices)
- 1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with OpenGL® 2.0, 16-bit color, and 512MB of VRAM (1GB recommended)*
- Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.†
- Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
- Mac OS X v10.7 or v10.8
- 1GB of RAM
- 3.2GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
- 1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with OpenGL 2.0, 16-bit color, and 512MB of VRAM (1GB recommended)*
- Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.
As you can see from the requirements above, you can get away with using about 1 GB of RAM and a video card (that's not much), but if you intend to do intensive photo editing work, I would personally recommend getting at least 8 GB of RAM to start with.
How computer is better than humans?
No a computer cannot think for itself it can only respond to the preprogrammed variables and instruction sets that a human has provided only when a true A,I, (artificial intelligence) is achieved will the computer be superior to man as emotion will not be part of the decision making process it would be based on the results of a probability of success v failure equation based on the available resource's and other variables to complete the given task. (the thing to think about here is would you give a true A.I. full control. i think not because in a logical world there's no place for the emotion based decisions that we make every day, The Terminator or Matrix springs to mind )
What does the word wrap feature do?
Word wrap is the feature of most text editors, word processors, and web browsers, of breaking lines between and not within words, except when a single word is longer than a line. In text display, it is the feature of continuing on a new line when a line is full, such that each line fits in the viewable window, allowing text to be read from top to bottom without any horizontal scrolling.
A Central Processing Unit is the main processor in a computer that processes all the logic statements put to it.
It is responsible for all the processing of the computer unless there is another process that does the job like a Graphics Processing Unit or Physics Processing Unit.
An internet alarm clock works the same as a normal alarm clock just it is based on the internet. You enter the time you wish the alarm to go off and as long as your computer is turned on and connected at the time then it will sound the alarm.
What ways did the jobs have a decreased due to computers?
Because computers would do what people would be doing like operating hotlines for bissnesses and manufacturing gagents
What does a compute-intensive problem run on?
A compute intensive problem runs on an available processor, until such time that it reaches a blocking state.
it depends on the length of the individual songs for audio cds
sometimes you can fit up to about 20 songs on one disc, so with that logic you'd use 200 cds
if you are simply transferring the files from one source to another, you can fit many more song FILES onto a disc, 700 MBs worth. so once again it depends on the size of each individual file.
basically 700 MBs = 120 to 160 songs
then you would only need 25 - 35 discs
if all you need to do is transfer files, buy a flash drive. they cost about 20 dollars and you can reuse them and reuse them forever, that's much more cost efficient (and green (: )
or buy an external hard drive / borrow one from a friend
4000 songs is about 30 gigs, so no matter which way you do it it will take a little while (or a very long while) yet another option if you are transferring files is to separate them all into zip files and upload them to the internet, then download them wherever you want them to end up. i recommend mediafire because it's free and fast
What is storage as a function of a computer?
To store any type of information. For example, any document you create on your computer has to be "saved" if you want to keep it for later. "Saving" means transferring it from short-term storage (RAM) to a more permanent storage (usually a hard disk).
These high speed data lines, along with the equipment that connects them all together is referred to as the "backbone" of the Internet.
What components are required to build a PC?
When building a gaming PC one will need components such as a keyboard, mouse, a high quality monitor and ample disk capacity. A specialized graphics chip is a must as are fast processors and cache memory.
A computer program is just a series of computer instructions. All programs "tell the computer what to do".

How can you burn your CD to your computer?
You first need to have a CD burner in the computer. Then, you need to start whatever CD burning software came with the burner. Roxio EZ CD Creator and Ahead Nero are the two most common programs to use, and both of these in their newest versions are super simple to use. They will usually pop up a window asking what type of disc you want to burn - a data disc for use in a computer, or an audio disc for use in a CD player. Follow the instructions to add your files, then choose the Burn option from the program.
Windows XP has it's own CD creator - What you can also do is take the files and drag (or copy and paste) them onto your cd-w or dvd-w drive and burn them through that without Nero.
More input:
- Requirement 1: You need a CD writer drive in your computer. Requirement 2: You need to have a CD burning software(usually supplied with the drive)(Nero Burning Rom is the best!) Requirement 3: You need to have writable or blank CD-R or CD-RW. Remaining is very easy just run your CD writing software and follow the instructions.
- Is it legal? Yes, it is perfectly legal to burn a CD. Provided you legally own the music, or software you are burning, if you don't legally own it, then of course burning it or not, your possession of it it illegal. If in doubt, though read over the EULA (End-user license agreement). Mostly all software comes with one, and some have a section of how you are permitted to copy it. For the most part, if you are making a copy for backup purposes only, and you are not going to give it to anyone else, than it should be legal.
You can tell that you have a CD recorder if three speeds are specified on the box. Next, you need software that communicates with the CD recorder.
Then you must buy CD-R's or CD-RW's. CD-R's work in more computers, but you only get one chance with writing data on them. CD-RW's are better for beginners, because you can write on them many times. Their drawbacks are slower speed, and some CD-ROM drives might not be able to read them.
Before you begin, you should reboot your PC and do nothing but burn your CD if you don't want 59 cent mirrored coasters. (Surfing the Net while burning a CD can cause a buffer underrun, which means that your system memory and CD burner's memory has been exhausted from other processes.
For Windows, to burn a data CD, assuming you have Windows XP or above, you can burn a data CD right in Windows Explorer. For a music CD, it's obvious that you use Media Player. You can do both with Roxio or other utilities.
In Linux, make sure you have a CD burning app. A Roxio clone is K3B. There's also Brasero and the audio-only Serpentine.
Why the files in desktop are stored in RAM?
No they are not. files cannot be stored in the RAM.
A2
Not normally. Files are stored in non-volatile storage such as a hard drive, floppy drive, optical drive or memory stick.
The Ram is used for temporary storage, while the processor is working on data within.
However, whole files may be temporarily stored in the RAM, when moving or copying files.
Is the most commonly used pointing device for personal computers?
Most laptops already have an alternative for a mouse. Some have a mouse pad or touchpad area. Moving a finger around in the touchpad works the same as moving a mouse. Others have a pointing stick in the keyboard, usually between the G H and B keys. It works like a little joy stick. There will also be some buttons below them that work as mouse buttons.
Some alternatives to a mouse include a joy stick and a trackball. A trackball is like an upside down mouse where a ball is moved around by the hand.
Some laptops also have touch sensitive screens (like an ipad or android) removing the need for a separate pointing device.
Why do you have network computers?
The best thing about a computer is the way you can use it to communicate, when you put business computers on a network workers can communicate with peers, clients, the internet and basically anything.
How are computers used in supermarkets?
They use ICT for counting how much money they have in the cash register.
Also the CCTV cameras use ICT to see any burglars.
As well they use excel to add the average costumers that come into the shop, also how many products are being sold and how much money they are making each week.
How much money they have spend - overall profit.
Creating online shopping and advertising their company
What RAM stand for in computers?
RAM is Random Access Memory. They're designed to be fast and temporary, ideal for storing programs and data that the computer is currently working on. Once the power is off, the contents of RAM will be erased.
How did people communicate and share ideas before the invention of computers and the Internet?
Postal Mail: Messages were written on paper and posted.
Birds: Messages were written on paper and tied to doves and the doves got to it's required destination.
Messengers: Messages were communicated through messengers that usually go on foot or by buggy.
What is a small inexpensive device that joins multiple computers together?
There are loads!
USB cables with double A type connectors can, WiFi can be used either directly or indirectly via a router/hub. Serial cables can be used to do a direct transfer although it has a slow baud rate. You can use 2 network cables vis a hub, switch or router - you can also use a single network cable if its a crossover cable. You can use bluetooth, Infa-red or any other number of wireless mesiums. I've used an old parallel printer cable before!
Either way - you need 3 common elements to do a transfer:
- A physical connection - the hardware used to make the transfer
- A logical connection - a common language (or protocol) for the physical hardware to 'talk' with and
- An application connection. usually an operating system, FTP program, web browser, firmware - something to build and deconstruct the data sent over the connection
