False. It does not come ready, you have to install components.

Computer on standby does use up electricity, probaby around 5 watts. Computer peripherals also consume electricity when they are on standby. It is a good idea to use a smart strip, which automatically cuts off power supply to peripherals when you turn off your computer or put it on standby. It will help you save electricity and money.

The least developed nations would have the least amount of access to technology. This would include Subsaharan African nations, some Middle Eastern/South Asian/Central Asian nations (or even some East Asian countries), and perhaps Pacific Island nations.

The connection allowing a computer to connect to the internet and "surf the web" is typically ethernet. Older computers, however, may rely on a telephone modem and subsequent telephone line.

There are many good computers for a small business. Some of the best computers for a small business are Apple iMac, HP Compaq 6000 Pro, Dell Precision T5500 and HP Compaq DC5850.

The motherboard.

Check the cooling fans for the computer case or power supply. Also for the CPU chip and the graphics chip (if it has a fan). If they are not working, they should be replaced or taken to a qualified service person to take care of the problem. If there is a filter in front of the fan it should be free of dust and dirt. If necessary clean the filter as well as any dust on the fan blades.

Sometimes people overclock the CPU to make the computer faster. Overclocking makes the CPU faster but also makes the chip run hotter. It may need a better cooling device to drain away the additional heat.

The ____ is a central location for storing and managing documents and folders.

Uploading is the transmission of a file from one computer system to another, usually larger computer system. From a network user's point-of-view, to upload a file is to send it to another computer that is set up to receive it. People who share images with others on bulletin board services ( BBS) upload files to the BBS.

Transmission in the other direction is downloading-- from one, usually larger computer to another, usually smaller computer. From an Internet user's point-of-view, downloading is receiving a file from another computer.

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the Internet facility for downloading and uploading files. (If you are uploading a file to another site, you must usually have permission in advance to access the site and the directory where the file is to be placed.)

When you send or receive an attached file with an e-mail note, this is just an attachment, not a download or an upload. However, in practice, many people use "upload" to mean "send" and "download" to mean receive. The term is used loosely in practice and if someone says to you "Download (or upload) such--and-such a file to me" via e-mail, they simply mean "Send it to me."

In short, from the ordinary workstation or small computer user's point-of-view, to upload is to send a file and to download is to receive a file.

By computer languages I take you to mean programming languages. The list is very long !

some of the most popular are probably Java, C, C++, SQL, Visual Basic, .NET, perl and javascript but a much more complete list can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages

Step 1

Open Internet Explorer. First, click on the Internet Explorer icon. If your homepage is your email account, click on the TOOLS link and scroll down to Internet Options.

Click on Settings in the TAB section. Once in the Internet Options, stay in GENERAL tab and scroll down to TABS and click on SETTINGS.

Under Tabbed Browsing Settings, check Enable Quick Tabs, Open New Tabs Next to the Current Tabs, Always Open Pop-ups in New Window and a new tab in current window.

That was easy--and now all your web browsing will be in one open window and all ads and other web pages will be shown as tabs, not another open window.

Computer servers are so important to business if the company is large. Smaller companys may not need a sever while larger ones will need one since they have more employees working together on a network at the same time. A server can help with certain software as well such as, Microsoft exchange system, firewalls, and file and print servers.

If you use apple, the easiest way is to right click on the application and select the window you can't find. If that doesn't work, you may have spaces on and it is in another space. For an old apple, go to settings, where a category should be labeled expose and spaces. Open that category, find out the controls for your spaces, open all space view, and click on the space that has your window. Drag it to your used space by clicking and holding the window, then change spaces while still holding the window. If you have a new version, then open mission control, and look at the top of your screen. If you have spaces (technically not spaces any more), then do the same thing as you do for the old version. You can turn them of in the new version by hovering over the right corner of a space and clicking the x mark. In the old version, turn it of by going to expose and space settings and turning it of from there. If spaces didn't work, then right click or click and don't let go on the application the window belongs to, in dock. If the window didn't exactly belong to a application, then skip this step. A menu should appear, including a list of the windows open. Click on your window. Also try clicking show all windows and selecting yours. If that doesn't work, the final possibility is that you may have minimized it. Go to dock and starting from the right, look for a mini version of your window. Click on it once you find it.

For Windows: The only possibility that I know of is that you minimized it. Click on the application that the window belonged to.

In the result of something such as a power surge, having an offsite backup will make sure that any files on the computer will be stored to another hard drive or computer so they will not be lost.

Stores like Best Buy and Radio Shack will be the best places to find information on the latest computers. These stores will typically have someone on hand who is paid to keep up and be an expert on all things computer related.

There is only one part of the computer that makes any decisions and that is the Central Processing Unit (CPU). It does 2 things, it does arithmetic problems which are 100% accurate. The other thing it does is run applications, such as Microsoft Word, games, power point slides, etc. Now applicatons are written into programming language by human beings. So since human beings are never 100% correct then applications are not 100% correct either.

ET6 stands for Easy-Tune 6 and is a program to overclock certain motherboards

One can find laptop computer ratings at many websites online. Some are Computer Shopper, CNET, Rugged-Laptop-Review, PC Mag, Amazon, Wiki How and Consumer Reports.

The common name is - a File Server. It's essentially a fast computer with a large amount of RAM and a huge hard-drive. The file server is connected to a network of computers or terminals by either a wire running in a loop round the room (or building) - or a wireless router.

hopefully you created back up disks when you just bought your computer and when it had it's factory settings. But also most brands have a recovery partition that they made to bring your computer back to factory settings. but some brands just have a basic partition that will just bring your software back to the last time it booted correctly.

A modem allows data to be transferred over a telephone line. It is a combination of MOdulate - DEModulate. One device modulates a digital signal from the computer into an analog signal for the telephone line, then the other device demodulates the signal back into digital for the receiving computer.

Purchasing cheap diamonds from online can be very risky, but using well reputable companies that have been in business for 10+ years proves that they know what they are doing, but not necessarily that they are sourcing the cheapest diamonds.

It spins for one ( at usually 7200 rpm) and writes in a language that involves 1 and 0's(Binary Code) It is a like a rewritable CD but a lot cooler

A hard disk stores data in much the same way as a floppy drive, magnetic pulses are imprinted onto the surface of the disk by a read/write head which can also then read the data back. Hard disks differ from floppies in that the data can be stored in much higher densities and accessed at much higher speeds by using a non-removable disk which is sealed from contaminants. Modern hard disks usually have several disks within them (platters) and dedicated read/write heads for both sides of each. The platters themselves are usually made of some aluminum alloy coated with a thin layer of iron oxide and are very rigid.

A hard disk drive (HDD), commonly referred to as a hard drive, hard disk, or fixed disk drive, is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces. Strictly speaking, "drive" refers to a device distinct from its medium, such as a tape drive and its tape, or a floppy disk drive and its floppy disk. Early HDDs had removable media; however, an HDD today is typically a sealed unit (except for a filtered vent hole to equalize air pressure) with fixed media.

Quicker to find things and sort things.
