Are most banks interlinked by computers allowing immediate processing of any check?

One way to transfer music from an Ipod to a computer is using windows explorer to directly copy the files to the hard drive. Your iPod must have disk usage enabled.
Go to 'Start->My Computer' and click on the drive whose name is the name of your iPod. Now, you can only view the songs on the iPod if you have enabled viewing of invisble files on your computer. To do this, click on 'Tools->Options' and click on the 'View' tab. Under where it says 'Advanced Settings' you should see something entitled 'Hidden Files and Folders.' Expand this and select the option 'Show Hidden Files and Folders.' Click on apply and close the dialog.
Now, you should see a somewhat transparent folder called 'Ipod_Control.' Open this folder. You then should see a folder called 'Music.' Open this folder, and you will see a whole bunch of folders named 'F00', 'F01', 'F02... etc. These folders contain your music. Copy all of the folders and paste them into a folder on your hard drive, such as 'C:\Music.' Go back to iTunes and click on 'File->Add folder to Library.' Select the folder 'C:\Music.'
After the processing is all done, all your songs should be back into your library. Copying the music folders to the hard drive could take a while depending on how much music you have, but patience is a virtue!

How many instructions can an modern CPU process per second?
no
-----
How about a real answer?A modern processor, say, the i7 3770k, is capable of processing 3.5 Instructions per CYCLE. And it runs at 3.5GHz, or 3,500,000,000 Cycles per Second. This becomes:
3.5 *3.5 Ghz= 12,250,000,000 Instructions per Second. And now I need to put my head on ice! You cold word this as 12.25GIPS, or 12.25 Giga-Instructions per Second. Of course, GIPS isn't a real abbreviation, so use what you want to!
You can also go by GFLOPS, or Giga Floating Point Operations Per Second, a more common measurement.
That same i7 3770k is capable of something like 150GFLOPS, or 150,000,000,000 Floating Point Operations per Second.
Amazing!
