Living in a constant state of being alive or dead its transistors taking value as on or off, 1 or 0 and having the ability to act or function independently via the code it is being issued and making voluntary decisions via sets of rules to move data.

Whilst having a flow of electric charge " its ALIVE ! " ..much like our brains and that's pretty much what a computer chip is

What are three ways you can use your computer?

Due to the low cost and small size of many modern computers they have become nearly ubiquitous in our lives today. Embedded computers (i.e. computers that are part of something else and that you never usually see as a computer) are in everything (e.g. cars, appliances, phones, televisions, games) and standard computers (e.g. mainframes, servers, desktops, laptops, netbooks, tablets) are owned by nearly every business and individual and have more uses than could ever be tabulated.

Handicapped people make use of computer based assistive devices that allow them to function in ways that others do nearly without thinking but would be denied them by their handicap without such computer based devices.

Many people would not even be alive today without computer based surgically implanted pacemakers and/or defibrillators, as well computer based portable heart monitors that can inform their doctor of their real heart symptoms experienced in everyday life instead of only in the doctor's office. (Note: Norman Jefferis "Jeff" Holter, a scientist living in Helena MT, invented the portable heart monitor in the early 1950s. It used a small analog audio tape recorder not a computer.)

You need a total amount of free hard drive space equal to your operating system's recommended free space, plus the recommended free space for each program and game you want to install, and room for expansion. Your drive should be no more than 80% full at any time for optimal performance. For RAM, you would want double the recommended value for your most demanding game. For example, if you want to play a game that recommends 2 GB of RAM, you should try and have 4 GB installed.

You can then connect the printers to any of the other ports on the Hub, ensuring that the respective printer drivers are installed on your computer. The USB Hub will also allow for the connection of your scanner and digital cameras etc.

Why are the keys on the keyboard grouped?

The keys are lined up on the keyboard the way they are (in qwerty format) because when typewriters were still being used that keyboard format prevented them from jamming. We do not use this format because it is effective, we use it because that is what many people are used to. However, a new type of keyboard is being made which people have been said to type 212 words per minute on, but this would take a lot of effort to switch all computer users over to this new type of keyboard.

Is it safe to keep your computer on for a long while?

Mine is on for 24 hours straight, but i turn it off eventually Turning your computer off and on repeatedly actually causes more "wear and tear" on it than leaving it run continuously. It's still a good idea to reboot it periodically. One reason is to clear up any memory that might not have been fully released by the application that last used it. A buildup of unreleased memory will deteriorate your computer's performance over time. I usually reboot mine every 2 weeks or so. Also be sure and periodically run scandisk and defragmenter on your system to keep it in top shape.

Draw the functional block diagram of 8086 microprocessor and explain?

  • 8086 has two blocks Bus Interfacing Unit(BIU) and Execution Unit(EU).
  • The BIU performs all bus operations such as instruction fetching, reading and writing operands for memory and calculating the addresses of the memory operands. The instruction bytes are transferred to the instruction queue.
  • EU executes instructions from the instruction system byte queue.
  • Both units operate asynchronously to give the 8086 an overlapping instruction fetch and execution mechanism which is called as Pipelining. This results in efficient use of the system bus and system performance.
  • BIU contains Instruction queue, Segment registers, Instruction pointer, Address adder.
  • EU contains Control circuitry, Instruction decoder, ALU, Pointer and Index register,Flag register.

Where could a person buy computer forensic software?

There are several computer forensic specialist out there, I have added a related link as an example of one of them.

How do you watch a movie on your computer?

Just insert a disc into the built-in disc drive on your laptop, or an external disc drive if you don't have one integrated one.

NOTE: sometimes discs are not compatible with your drive, depending on what type of drive you've got on your laptop, for example: I've got a 'DVD RW Drive (E:)', so if I want to play movie from a BluRay disc, I can't, unless I get another external BluRay disc drive.

And another thing, you'll need a software (program) to play movies from it, Power DVD's a not-bad one, my school uses it.

Good luck and hope I helped. :)
