Can rapidly screaming at the computer decrease loading time?
Insight from WikiAnswers contributors on impatient web surfing:
- Based on results from continuously pressing the elevator call button to make the elevator come to your floor faster, this very well may work. Temper tantrums are very effective when used in moderation.
- It has been my observation that furious mouse clicking and cursing and yelling rarely make me feel better and never make the web page load any faster.
- Yes and no. Yelling and screaming etc. at the computer gives the illusion that the computer is speeding up, because it is scared of you. But seriously, why would a machine that could spend all of your life savings on illegal drugs and then turn you into the police, be afraid of you?
- Not really. Shouting at the computer is good way to pass the time, But the system loading can sometimes speed up and down which sometimes makes it seem quicker (It can also start mood swings.)
- I would argue that getting angry, clicking away and shouting at a PC makes it take longer to load, from your perspective.
(Another example is when people get into a high stress situation and describe it as 'time slowing down'.)
- The computer will load at the time it takes to load, the computer does not change its perspective of time based on crazy goings on inside (except when the BIOS battery or PSU is dying), you however will see your perspective of a second/minute take longer and longer to pass and increase your frustration and making time seem even slower, leading into a downward spiral. Sit back, relax, and it will seem to load faster.
- Are you kidding me?! Of course it can! See, yelling and clicking at your computer will decrease the time because you will be occupied. If you just sit there like an old hag, you will have no sort of amusement. Yelling and clicking away at your computer will distract you from how long it is actually taking.
- if you start clicking buttons randomly, it slows down because it's trying to load more times, that's why several windows always open after your tantrum
How do you maximize your computer screen?

What are the funtions of the f1 -f12 keys on a computer?
The F keys are function keys. They perform different functions in different programs. F1 is used as the "Help" key throughout Microsoft Windows and Office programs. F3 will start a search feature. In the old days (that would be the 1980's and 90's), the function keys would activate menus or other shortcuts. Some programs came with a cardboard template that surrounded the F keys to identify what function each key performed.
Is computer software real asset or financial asset?
Most computer software is not "purchased" by an end user, in the same way as you would a car or house. Rather, what you purchase is a non-exclusive "license" to use the software. Since it is not something you can own, it is not something you could really call an asset, any more than a rental agreement on an apartment make it one of your assets.

Where can one get the best deal on a brand new laptop?
One can get the best deal on a brand new laptop by simply going to a good store such as Best buy of Future shop and asking the sales people if they have any good deals on laptops.

Usually during big occasions, stores have great deals on great products!
What is meant by hosting a website?
What is website hosting?
Website hosting is a space on a server that stores all your website data such as text, videos, images and HTML.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of layered architecture in a network?
The following are the advantages of a layered architecture:
Layered architecture increases flexibility, maintainability, and scalability. In a Layered architecture we separate the user interface from the business logic, and the business logic from the data access logic. Separation of concerns among these logical layers and components is easily achieved with the help of layered architecture.
Multiple applications can reuse the components. For example if we want a windows user interface rather than a web browser interface, this can be done in an easy and fast way by just replacing the UI component. All the other components like business logic, data access and the database remains the same. Layered architecture allows to swap and reuse components at will.
Layered architecture enables teams to work on different parts of the application parallely with minimal dependencies on other teams.
Layered architecture enables develop loosely coupled systems.
Different components of the application can be independently deployed, maintained, and updated, on different time schedules.
Layered architecture also makes it possible to configure different levels of security to different components deployed on different boxes. sO Layered architecture, enables you to secure portions of the application behind the firewall and make other components accessible from the Internet.
Layered architecture also helps you to test the components independently of each other.
The following are the disadvantages of a layered architecture:
There might be a negative impact on the performance as we have the extra overhead of passing through layers instead of calling a component directly.
Development of user-intensive applications can sometime take longer if the layering prevents the use of user interface components that directly interact with the database.
The use of layers helps to control and encapsulate the complexity of large applications, but adds complexity to simple applications.
Changes to lower level interfaces tend to percolate to higher levels, especially if the relaxed layered approach is used.
How do you pause a program on the mac computer?
I really have no clue how. I tried to find out but can't. Here are some other ways.
- Put your videos on your computer and edit them together.
- Some people say theres a built in editor in you ipod touch (i can't find it but it may be an app)
Thats all i have so good luck.
What are some free apps for ipod touch?
Well- I am an 11 year old girl so if you are like an adult then just ignore it, but I bought bejeweled 2 and it is a really good boredom buster and it is £1.79. There is also pandemonium!, the impossible quiz for 59p each, and if you like instant messaging then get ebuddy pro because it is the best im app and it has no adds! But, the downside is it has £3.99. But, lookout for free ones, too, because some of them are really cool apps!

A star network uses a central server to route data between clients.
The central server (or the switching hub) switches data around the network. Data flow between the server and the nodes will therefore be relatively low. A typical star network are mainframe computers.
Star topology, also known as star network, is a computer network topology. It is a common network setup where the computers and other devices on the network are connected to a central or master computer, also known as the hub.
What is the best laptop that is budget-friendly?
There are so many different websites to check out before buying a laptop. The laptops that on are on their respective websites will be more expensive then those that are on super store websites. It all depends on where you look.
What are the factors on which computer performance?
Many factors indeed!
A computers hardware can influence performance or limit it. An example would be that a motherboard can handle 6gb/s transfer speed, but the hard drive can only handle 3gb/s.
Also, the amount of software and files can influence performance. If software is limited and files are few a computer could potentially be fast. But a computer that has been loaded down with files and software, like a man with a backpack full of concrete, its going to go slow.
I'm sure there are many other factors.. but that's all i have.

What is flexibility of E-commerce?
e-commerce is the ability to buy/sell goods and services over the internet.
e-commerce improves business flexibility by allowing people and businesses to conduct business online, with less interference from timezones and clash of culture.
A person from Dubai, India can trade with a person in Alaska, USA thanks to the internet. They do not have to worry about meeting up to review their products (because there are online reviews as well as P2P calls), they do not have to worry about personally delivering their goods (thanks to shipping companies such as UPS and FedEx), and they do not have to physically be together (thanks to email, skype and instant messaging). Costs are also reduced, because anyone can set up shop via a computer with internet access. There are also more markets to sell to, so businesses are not confined to the area they are located in.
Overall, the ability to do business regardless of time, location, culture, logistics and cost allows for a very flexible business environment.
