Can you convert RJ11 into RJ45 If so What is needed?

No, a conversion can not be made due to the different size of cables that each terminal end uses. An RJ45 uses a Cat , 8 wire cable where as a RJ11 uses a smaller 4 wire cable. The sockets for the RJ45 will be too wide to allow a RJ11 connector to securely connect to it.

What are the different functions of an Apple computer?

An Apple computer will do everything a Windows computer will do.

What is the function of pseudo code?

Pseudo code is a way of communicating the structure of an algorithm or program without worrying about particular details of the implementation. Good pseudo code gives the reader all the information he or she needs to actually implement the algorithm, while saving the writer from dealing with any weird particularities of any one language.

For example:

Lets write a function which search a list for a value in pseudo code:

recursiveSearch(List l, Value v):

for each value in l:

if value v){

return l[i];

}

}

}

Hopefully its clear that the pseudo code version is easier to parse while reading (except maybe for some C gurus out there) and can be easily translated into any programming language, while the second is more obscure.

What is a Netizen client?

A Netizen is an internet citizen. A Netizen client is the software used by the Netizen to communicate with other Netizens, such as Twitter or Skype, an e-mail client or a user-agent (internet browser).

Is atom a good netbook brand?

Atom is a small power efficient processor for netbooks. This is usefull for browsing net and performing casual office tasks, but not a gaming processor.

The Intel atom processor is the Intel's second processor (CPU) designed specifically for "Net Books". It is based on an entirely new micro architecture designed specifically for small devices and low power, while maintaining the Intel Core 2 Duo compatibility. It supports for multiple threads.

It will be the Intel's smallest and lowest power processor. It will be manufactured on Intel's 45nm process technology.

Recently, I'd purchased an Intel atom based processors Netbook because it is a great little piece of technology of Intel, lightweight and easy to take anywhere, and is much lesser price as compare with Laptop and with a great battery life.

How can you compute for the speed?

You need distance in kilometers or meters and time in hours or seconds to compute speed. To compute speed, simply divide the distance covered by the total time taken.

In what ways computers from Apple is better or worse than HP and Dell?

How did mocha java get its first name?

Mocha Java got it's name simply because it is a blend of Mocha, a Yemeni coffee, and Java (coffee from the Island of Java).

What is a relational model?

A relational model is the means of ordering elements that relates to one another, called a tuple.

Multiple tuples of similar structure can be seen as a table, with rows that describe each tuple, and similar elements ordered in columns.

All operation are described as binary operation as in calculus, e.g. "Insert" is the same as addition, as a new relation is added, where the elements in the relation constitutes a new unique group of values.

Any tuple can have a relation to another tuple - such as "they belong together" or "one comes after the other".

That relations can be represented as tables is used by a number of application building tools, such as MS Access. These refer to the similar elements - the column by assigning them names. They will usually also assume a similar datatype (int, numeric text, float, code, text, etc). The relation model is entirely based on mathematics, relational calculus and relational algebra developed by Chris Data and Ted Codd at Watson Height, IBM Research Center.

The relational model does not relate to any relationship between the tables, and relationships needs to be coded by the application programmer that use codes to make e.g. a parent relates to child. The database system can implement constraints such as that every child has a parent, while not every person has a child.

The model is then used by application developers to create the user interface.

The competing model is the CODASYL network model that was made to satisfy the requirements for application support. This will provide "pointers" that can link a child to a parent, and an order line to a order. However, these does not lend themselves to allow generic tools such MS Access to make the applications, as it does not support the flexibility needed to "just make it".

How do you install hardware raid 0 in a computer?

Hardware RAID 0 is basically a controller card that controls the RAID functions such as a SCSI RAID config. Some motherboards come with RAID functionality built in the motherboard.

If you have a RAID adapter in your computer and want a RAID 0 configuration with no data protection. You must download software from the RAID adapter manufacture, usually a bootable CD and run the configuration program at boot up using the CD.

Keep in mind that this procedure will destroy any data on the drives. Listed below is a list of abbreviated possible configuration types.

Raid 0 - No data protection

Raid 1 - One drive mirrored to another

Raid 5 - Multiple drives combined together with data protection.

Make sure you backup your data first...

Which feature is characteristic of adware?

Disadvantages of computer to the society?

1) Radiation

2) Reduction in human contact (email, IM, video conferencing replacing in person meetings)

3) Dehumanization (via #2) of others especially in periodic applications (usenet, email)

4) Physiological problems - Carpal Tunnel/Repetitive Stress Injuries

5) less exercise especially for kids playing 5 hours of 'Guitar Hero'

6) People letting the machine do all their thinking for them (finding all the answers to homework online....)

7) eye strain - viewing text on a screen is 3 times hard then viewing same text on paper

8) reduced spelling and grammar skills - "ru1337? OSiAr, bffl?mIRL?"

When do the clocks go forward in UK?

Suggestions for information technology?

I would suggest a review of the OSI Model, the PCI and Sarbanes Oxley requirements ad well as a introductory review of the requirements and knowledge base for a CCNA and CCNP.

Is there such a thing as infinity?

The word "Infinity or infinite" is just a theory according to the law of mathematics, it's an imaginary line that extend to the largest principle of length and width, but it's impossible that infinity really exist in the reality of the universe, Genesis 1:1(K.J.V) stated that "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth" So? It means the universe isn't infinite in size, for whatever reason/s scientist agrees that the universe had a beginning, why? according to a physicist Edwin Hubble "The universe is expanding away from itself" He had conclude that because of the motion of the Galaxies and other heavenly bodies that are able to move away from each other, even though, The presence of gravity that pulls them toward to collision and burst is present.

So therefore there is no such thing as infinity

What to say to a boy you like on the computer?

The answer is VERY CAREFULLY! I don't know how old you are, but I'm assuming that you are young to be asking a question like this. Remember that you do not REALLY know who you are talking to in a chat room. Alot of bad people use the internet to hide their true identity. They say things that are not true-such as that they are a 15 year old girl when they are really a 45 year old man. Do not give out any of your personal information-such as your name, where you live, where you go to school, or any information that might enable a bad person to track you down. It's best to not talk to anyone on the internet that you don't know. Get your school mates user names or e-mail addresses so that you can chat with your friends. Also, tell your parents who you are talking to on the internet. They may want to look into the information that you are giving out that might be dangerous. Believe it or not, parents may seem corny to you now, but they are really very understanding and want to keep you safe more than anything else in the world. In my small town (less than 5000 people), a 13 year old girl was kidnapped from her house and later murdered in a storage unit by a 40ish year old man from California that she met on the internet. He was pretending to be a 17 year old boy. She gave him too much information (he tracked her down by the name of her school mascot and that she lived in Arkansas) and he was able to track her down by the information that she told him. So, please be careful!!! Things are not what they seem to be in the world of computers. You might even do a Google search on internet/chat room safety for some more tips on protecting yourself and what information about yourself that you do not need to give out. Very carefully. Do not reveal personal information, not even little stuff that you might think wouldn't matter. Be suspicious. There are far too many dangerous people out there.
