Digits in the binary number system?
The only digits in binary (base 2) are 0 and 1. All numbers are represented with those 2 digits. For example:
12 is written as 1100.
33 is written as 100001.
What is pin configuration of microprocessor 8088?
the pin configuration of a processor means that the diagramatic representation of block diagram of processor representing various pins and the function of that pins
What type of device in a digital camera when use with a computer?
You shouldn't need any hardware, but often time the software comes with the camera and if not you can go to the Camera's Manufactures website and download it. Also most the time you just have to plug the USB into the camera and the computer and it works right away without any software.
How do you take pictures with your built in web cam?
"Cheese" is a simple program for photos and videos with a few effects for Linux. A similar program is "Photo Booth" for MacOS/iPad. For Windows there is "Movie Maker", but some (not necessarily older) versions come without capture features.
The set top box that your provider gives you is what converts the Digital signal to the analog signal.
The digital signal is compressed at the provider and sent to the end user. The "tuner" (which can be built into a tv, a set top box or a cable card) Then decompresses the digital signal and converts it into an analog signal.
There is much more to this did not know how technical you wanted your answer.
What is the name of the ship27s computer in 2001 A Space Odyssey?
The ship was called the Jupiter 2, although in the original pilot it was called the Gemini 12. Perhaps the reason for the name change was that NASA was originally going to be involved with the series but when they saw what Irwin Allen was producing they pulled out. Perhaps in a fit of pique (with the availability of a pencil to edit the script) Allen gave it its well-known name.
How does a computer translate 0s and 1's into things like letters and pictures?
A digital computer uses binary (base 2) to store numbers. Binary numbers only have two states 1 and 0.
Humans count in base ten because we have ten fingers.
We learned to count by using our fingers to count from 0 to 9. When we got this far we ran out of fingers so we took a stone or made a mark and said that that equalled ten then reset our fingers to zero and counted over adding the value of the mark to the value on our fingers.
So imagine if we were an alien and only had one finger? How would we count? well probably the same way. We would count zero, then one, then we would draw a one and reset out fingers back to zero. if we look at this we have;
00 Base 2 = 0 base 10
01 Base 2 = 1 base 10
10 Base 2 = 2 base 10
When we add one by counting our finger plus the mark representing 2 (base 10) we get;
11 Base 2 which equals 3 base 10.
So in essence when we get to one number below the value of the base system we are counting in we do a 'rollover' and increment the next column and reset the previous column. Using this theory we can count in any base.
The computer only has the ability to store 2 values, these are one and zero. Essentially the computer has the same as our alien, just one finger. So it can only count in binary.
But this isn't a limitation as any base ten number can be represented in base 2. moreover the computer can use a number to represent a letter number or any keyboard symbol. When you press a key the computer stores a value in binary which represents that key.
That number is then looked up in a table which contains the graphic information for the letter and that graphic is printed to the screen at the current cursor point.
The graphic which makes up the letter is a series of numbers too! In this case each number represents the colour of a point (or pixel) in the letter graphic.
Generally three pieces of information are required to light a pixel on the screen a red value a green value and a blue value. The bigger these three values are the more variations of colours are available. These values are scanned by the video card in its ram and sent to the monitor.
Everything you see on a screen display is generated this way. It's all numbers.

Do astronauts come back to earth younger?
They come back to earth younger than they would have been had they stayed on earth for that same period of time. They are traveling so fast relative to the earth that time slows down for them. For a voyage of a few weeks this may only add up to several seconds or maybe a few minutes, but if they traveled even faster for a longer period of time it is theorized they could come back to earth after what seemed like a one year journey to them and, to exaggerate a little, perhaps ten years have passed on earth.
2 gigabits if its a lowercase b or 2 gigabytes if you mean uppercase B. Giga is a billion.
How do you move your windows media music library into your itunes music library?

To seed you just keep the torrent file in your application with it still on green (means that you're uploading) - this also means you can't move the file(s) to another part of your hard drive unless you relocate using the application,
If you want to really reassure yourself that you're seeding, open a saved torrent file from your hard drive into your application. When the options come up, uncheck everything so you won't download. Since it won't be downloading, it will immediately go on to seeding.
Average uploaders request a 1:1 upload - say you've just got a 120MB file, you're expected to upload atleast that same amount. Although the recommended would be 2:1, especially if its a relatively new torrent.
How old do you have to be to join deviantART?
Currently deviantART's compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (effective April 21st 2000) is limited to prohibiting any child under the age of 13 from opening, maintaining, or otherwise using a deviantART account. This restriction stands even when parental permission is granted.
"As we collect certain pieces of identifiable information and since a deviantART account allows a user to publicly display various types of personal and identifiable information (such as name, location and email information) we cannot allow children under the age of 13 to utilize an account at this point in time.
All accounts found to be used or maintained by a child under the age of 13 will be closed automatically and without notice when it is brought to the attention of the deviantART administration. Accounts closed in this fashion will be preserved until their user reaches the minimum required age of thirteen years old."

Long way:
First, plug the camera into the computer.
Second, go under "My Computer" from the start menu.
Third, click on the usb input. (It is usually E: F: or G:)

What hardware do you need to open and watch videos on your computer?
Generally, when you buy a computer, it should come with the hardware inside to watch videos. What you are missing if your having any problems is probably the software. To watch any videos online your going to have to have adobe flash player, which you can download online for free, just Google it. If it is a video that is not online, but from other type of source, you are going to need windows media player. However, windows media player does not play all video file types. I would suggest downloading realplayer off of the internet. It has played all video files that I have ever used, plus it seems to work better anyway. If you are trying to watch videos off a CD or DVD, then yes you do need some hardware. A DVD-ROM drive is what you need, and if you have a laptop or netbook without a built in DVD-ROM drive then you will have to buy an external DVD-ROM.
