Can you crash a website by sending a lot of emails?
It IS possible - and has been done in the past. However by 'a lot of emails' you would be talking about many hundreds of thousands sent simultaneously. You would need the co-operation of thousands of people, all sending at precisely the same time in order for such a cyber-attack to have any effect. Bear in mind, though, any such attack would be illegal - and every perpetrator would eventually be traced.
What are transistor in a computer and what do they enable computer to do?
In the context of a computer, a transistor is kind of switch which is controlled by an electric voltage. The right voltage turns the switch on and another voltage turns the switch off. Multiple transistors are wired together (inside integrated circuit chips) to form an electric circuit which can save and remember a "bit", which is the smallest amount of information.
Transistors are parts in a computer that can be as small as three atoms, one in the middle that has a full ring of valence electrons and the other two on the outside as little as possible, this means that the outside atoms suck in electricity (electrons) and the inside one can stop it, but when you put power into the center one it basically opens a valve. Because it, unlike a valve, can only be turned off and on it has not kinda on. This means that it can be made into 0's and 1's or binary code. Binary code can create patterns of 8 to represent a letter or number such as 01001010 and then it can be used to do things like place a point on a graph to put a specific color to create text and such.
Transistors have evolved from the original vaccum tubes, to silicon transistors like we see today. Intel first invented the microprocessor made with silicon, the microprocessor is getting more efficient, smaller, and more powerful. 5 Years ago a regular size for a transistor was 90nm currently, intel sells 22nm. Other technologies are being looked into for the next microprocessor, chief among them is the graphene processor. These, although on paper, are amazing processors are actually quite useless currently. They are less stable although some may exceed speeds of 500 ghz and they do not use binary code because it is not as simple as on off. Currently they can't be programmed with because of this. They have instead of zeros and ones codes that look more like 0.2,0.1435,0.987423 and such. There are many other technologies such as germs, for storage and processing although very few show as much promise as graphene and silicon.
Is their a way to make different accounts on an acer computer with windows 8?
Yes. It doesn't matter what kind of hardware you have (in other words, it doesn't matter that it is an Acer specifically), but Windows 8, just like every other recent desktop operating system, supports multiple accounts. Just go to control panel (in desktop mode, go to settings from the sidebar that appears at the right side of the screen) and choose User Accounts. Click Manage Another Account and there will be an option to add a new account.

What is a difference between high level language and low level languagei n computer?
A low level language would be "Machine Code". In simplistic terms coding operations are performed directly into CPU hardware registers which the CPU understands without any translation. These codes must adhere to recognised instruction sets hardcoded into the CPU architecture.
High Level languages have an interface which isolates the programmer and translates the programmers code on the fly/after compilation into instruction sets a CPU can understand.
Will upgrading to the mac OS X 10.6 Snow leopard improve the game's graphic?
No, it will not. The graphics of the game you are playing rely on the graphics chip in the computer. You must upgrade the graphics chip in your computer to improve the game's graphics, unless the game is supposed to have terrible graphics.

Does renewing Windows Vista help your pc run faster?
No, You have to many programs on your computer or need to clean it or need to do a disk fragmentation anything. Upgrading does nothing but slow it down even more!
Licensing proprietory technology to foreign competitors is the bes way to up a firms competitive advantage discuss
How do you get three thousand free webs credits?
Google would be the best choise but there is websites that give free points like freepoints.com.
What is meant by best laptop buy?
The meaning of "best laptop buys" is merely that it suits you the best or better than any other model, so as you know, this would vary greatly from one person to another. If you are into gaming, you look at those models, or personal browsing would be a cheaper type of unit, but either way, it is an individual taste.
What stores in the Sparta, GA area offer laptop sales?
There are plenty of places to purchase laptops in Sparta, GA. Try shopping at RadioShack or the LaptopXchange. You can find a large variety of laptops at these retailers.
Where can certificates in computer design be earned?
Computer Design refers to the use of computer programs to assist the design process, through the use of CAD systems. Various universities offer certificates in computer design, such as Lowell University or Harper College.
Where can one find information on locating ones ip address that a computer is using?
This would depend on the type of computer you are using but assuming you are using windows 7 then follow these steps. Open Network Connections select an active network and click View status of this connection. Then your IP address will be listed on the Details page under the Value column.
What are 2 non-desktop computer uses for Linux?
Not only can Linux be run on desktop computers, but it can also be run on servers and other types of computers such as tablets and embedded computers. Linux is an open source operating system that is based on Unix, and Unix was first used for computer server applications.

Why do computers manipulate binary data and executive binary instructionsWhy binary?
it is the only language programmed and understandable by the computer processor because it is programmed in it.
