Why the system bus is a data bus but it is measured in mega hertz instead of megabits?

The frequency denotes the maximum rate of change that the bus can sustain. This is an important figure for the electric design of the device, and a ballpark figure for its general throughput capability.

However, a bus supporting a maximum speed of N MHztypically supports a lower effective throughput (in bits per second), subject to encoding, error detection and recovery protocols, multiplexing and arbitration attributes and others.

What would i need to buy in order to store or save the files on the recovery image?

The recovery image should not be altered by storing files on the partition holding the file. It's a safety device in case something happens to the main partition holding Windows. Altering or storing files to the recovery partition - may make rescuing the hard-drive impossible.

What does the CIP oversee the protection of?

Assuming CIP stands for Critical Infrastructure Protection. In the US this was set up by the PDD-63 directive of May 1998. The European equivalent 'European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection' (EPCIP) was set up after the EU COM(2006) 786 directive.

The CIP protects the following infrastructure: Banking and finance, Transportation, Power, Information and communications, Federal and municipal services, Emergency services, Fire departments, Law enforcement agencies, Public works

How do you implement vector?

import java.util.Vector;

public class VectorTest {

/**

* @param args

*/

public static void main(String[] args) {

//instantiating a vector

Vector vct = new Vector();

//Add objects to a vector

vct.add("One");

//getting values from the vector

String val = (String) vct.get(0);

//vector size

System.out.println("Vector size is: " + vct.size());

//removing elements from a vector

vct.remove(0);

}

}

I am going to install win 7 RC how can i reinstall win vista if i don't like win 7?

that is all u need!!!!!!!!!!!! have fun!!! yay

What is Gateway and Metric?

The Gateway is the device used to send network packets to when wanting to access another device not located on the same network. A gateway to another network or the internet the device is usually a Router - which determines what route the network packets take to get to their destination. because you can have many connections to different networks - there exists the possibility of having multiple gateways. The Metric determines which gateway is chosen first - a lower number means it is more likely to choose that gateway and not another with a higher number. Think of Metric as Cost - you tend to choose the cheapest route to try and get to your destination. You can have a Default Gateway - which would be the device always chosen first to try and route packets to their destination.

A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network. On the Internet, a node or stopping point can be either a gateway node or a host (end-point) node. Both the computers of Internet users and the computers that serve pages to users are host nodes. The computers that control traffic within your company's network or at your local Internet service provider (ISP) are gateway nodes.

In the network for an enterprise, a computer server acting as a gateway node is often also acting as a proxy server and a firewall server. A gateway is often associated with both a router, which knows where to direct a given packet of data that arrives at the gateway, and a switch, which furnishes the actual path in and out of the gateway for a given packet.

A metric is a standard unit of measure, such as meter or mile for length, or gram or ton for weight, or more generally, part of a system of parameters, or systems of measurement, or a set of ways of quantitatively and periodically measuring, assessing, controlling or selecting a person, process, event, or institution, along with the procedures to carry out measurements and the procedures for the interpretation of the assessment in the light of previous or comparable assessments.

Metrics are usually specialized by the subject area, in which case they are valid only within a certain domain and cannot be directly benchmarked or interpreted outside it. This factor severely limits the applicability of metrics, for instance in comparing performance across domains. The prestige attached to them may be said to relate to a 'quantifiability fallacy', the erroneous belief that if a conclusion is reached by quantitative measurement, it must be vindicated, irrespective of what parameters or purpose the investigation is supposed to have.

In business, they are sometimes referred to as key performance indicators, such as overall equipment effectiveness, or key risk indicators. In the field of Facilities Management, a key metric is the Facility Condition Index, or FCI.

How can you tell your crush you like him?

well you start by asking him wether he likes you if he says yes then say can i tell you something if he says yes to that say no its ok then hopefully hell keep nagging you to tell him so when you tell him he will hopefully say if this works wich it did for me he will ask if you want to be girlfriend and boyfriend say yes if this does not work dont be upset. girl, do what i do. go up and take a deep breath, so he knows u r under a lot of stress.then, tell him you like him, and wait for him to respondplease be aware that he might not like u back, but keep your hopes up. he's probaly just not the one.

How many hertz is 3mhz?

3,000,000 Hertz. (Hertz is spelled with a capital initial letter because it is named for a real person.)

In the case of computers where 1 kHz = 1,024, you need to muliptly that 3,000,000 by 1,024 = 3,072,000 if my calculator is correct.

Which piece of hardware is used to physically store information?

Physical storage of hardware can be done in two different ways. The first one is using a ROM chip (Read Only Memory) which has data stored on it, which cannot be changed later on. Many older models of hardware had ROM chips to store their internal settings on.

The most common form of hardware to store information is the common hard drive (HDD).

Is it possible that when it is lighting and you are on the computer will the computer blow up?

yes my friend that is indeed correct, the electro currents pulse through the wires creating magnetic friction causing a convulsion within the computer..the convulsions are then sent through the human body through contact and cause an electrical spasm inside of you causing your head to pop out wheaties..yes, quite an unfortunate ending one of which i have lived through only to pass on the story..it isn't easy typing with a robotic head and hook fingers

What is efficiency based on system?

System Efficiency can be said with the:

  • Technology used for the System
  • The Response Time of the System
  • The Memory Usage of the System
  • Through-Put of the System
  • The Processing time and the Hardware it needed to process

Is it possible to link two computers together to make use of the additional resources such as extra RAM and processor speed and if it is how would you do it?

YES & NO

No - You cannot actually increase the RAM or CPU of one machine by linking it to another.

BUT

Yes - You can simulate this by using methods so that the end result is the same.

The common way of doing this is called "Distributed Processing" where one or more computers are designed (or have software running on them to allow) to work together. They would share tasks or even check each others work.

The how it is done part of the question is dependent on how the solution is designed. By that it is meant that computers can be designed from the ground up for this purpose or normal off the shelf computers can be used this way by networking them together and then using software to control the processing.

Another older method is called "Parallel Processing" where two or more computers split tasks into smaller chuncks and work on each at the same time. This is slightly different in that they don't share hardware but instead share the problem.

What does the old meaning for hardware have to do with computers?

Computer hardware consists of the physical components of a computer; excluding all software and programming.

Computer hardware is your case, hard drive, motherboard, processor, RAM, optical drives, etc., etc..

When i plug in my hardrive an icon doesn't show in my computer Why?

There are only three reasons that I know of.

The first is: the hard-drive has to much memory for the computer to handle.

The second is: The hard-drive and/or your computer in infected with a virus.

The third is: The hard-drive is fairly new, while the computer is fairly old.

I hope these helped!

What are the warranty concerns?

The one major concern about warranties are "What will Void my warranty?" (Likes - Opening the case, Removing parts labels, Installing other vendors parts, & more).
