What is the best LCD monitor for photo editing?
You need a decent computer with at least 2gb of RAM (check your program requirements, they may have changed); 2gb may not be enough depending on image size/resolution, and amount of layers you are working with. On anything less than 1GB it will run slowly and crash from time to time. Photo editing programs are very memory intensive, the best system is one with lots of memory. The more layers you are working with and the larger the image is, the more memory your image editing program will consume. A good video card will also help out, however, it is the memory that is mainly important. A good quality monitor is also a plus.
Good examples are computers are Mac Pro , and Dell Alienware M15X (there may be better examples at this time), but you can also have your computer custom built to meet your needs

What was the first violent video game ever?
Based on my research it was either a Michael Jackson game or Donkey Kong. Either these guys are idiots or kidding. The very first PlayStation game however was Ape Escape. Which was weird since it could only be played on a DualShock controller and at the time they were not released.
Lol Goku is not a human but he looks like one.He is a saiyan and if you watch the anime you would know
What is a rechargeable battery?
Yes.
Most ordinary "nonchargeable" batteries can very well be recharged a few times.
Most alkaline and lithium batteries can be recharged from 3 to 10 times.
Some lithium batteries even more.
I have actually not experimented with other "nonchargeable" batteries.
Problems:
The problem with recharging these types of batteries is that they are not designed to be recharged!
It should be done slowly over long time rather than very fast like most chargers today does.
You can not complain either if the batteries actually start leaking.
They might even "violently" crack open (Explode) if you try to charge them with a lot of current. This so called "explosion" is however not an actual explosion. Using the word "Explosion" causes un-needed fear. What actually may happen is that the pressure inside the battery increases during the charging process. the sealing of the battery may rupture and some of its content, acid or alkaline, may be forcefully sprayed out. This of which is harmfull to skin, espechially eyes. Slow recharging ensures low pressure and less chance of seal breaking.
My method and experiences.:
I recharge my Alkaline and Lithium AA Batteries over a time of approx 16 hours. My battery charger is adjustable and can deliver 25-200 mA. When recharging slowly with only 50mA, the batteries keep quite well and can be recharged a few times.
If recharging at 200 mA, they get warm (due to gas buildup and high pressure inside). This pressure causes batteries to crack open and leak. This mean that battery is forever dead.
As of not exactly knowing the capacity of a nonchargeable battery, it is a bit difficult to give a time frame for recharging. We can however somewhat count on a capacity comparable to similar rechargeable NiMh batteries. These batteries today are close to 2000 MAh. Easy math tells us that recharging such a battery at only 50 mAH takes time. Straight forward, 40 hours, but taken into consideration the loss factor of charging (approx 40%), it would take close to 60 hours to fully recharge.
If recharging at 100MAh this time would be halved to 30 Hours.
My experience though is that when I try to recharge a battery for that long, it will start to leak, almost no matter what. I never charge my alkaline batteries for more than approx 15-20 hours at 50-75 MAh. This will of course not give a full charge but the batteries can withstand it better than a full charge.
They last for ages afterwards in my mouse or keyboard.
Note:
My battery charger is full of corrosion due to battery-fluid from alkaline batteries.
This mainly because I forget the batteries in there for too long a time, or try to recharge too many times.
Why do rechargable batteries stop working properly?
A battery produces electricity because electrons flow from one reactant in the battery's chemical reaction to another reactant. However, once one of the reactants is completely used up, the chemical reaction stops, thus also stopping the flow of electricity. Now, how does a battery recharge? Well, the details of this are a bit too complicated to get into, but I can provide a abbreviated explanation.
A battery charger produces an electrical force that actually causes the battery's chemical reaction to reverse. Thus, when a battery is dead, it has all the products and no reactants. A battery charger will force those products to react with each other and reform the reactants. Once that happens, the battery is ready to go again. This doesn't work for all batteries, however. That's why many batteries are not rechargeable.
Hope this helps!
What is the first electronic item invented?
Probably it's the guy that invented the Leyden jar, wouldn't you think? In other words, it stored a charge and could give off that charge on demand. In a sense, that's a machine which we now commonly call a `capacitor', although it's made of different materials, it still functions the same.

How much is a Sega Genesis worth?
I happen to have a sega genesis in great condition. It plays well and nothing is wrong with it. I would have to say it has to be worth a lot more than $100. I say that accordidng to the condition of your sega genesis, that is how much it is worht.
Advantages of transistors over triode?
Transistors are sometimes referred to as semiconductor triodes.
OK, but to answer the question:
Vacuum-tube triodes need some hundreds of milliwatts to watts just to light the filament/heater. This is wasted power that can appear as waste heat in the circuit, and reduces the electrical efficiency of the vacuum-tube triode. Triodes also have limited lifetimes, commonly due to the filament/heater burning out, or losing its electron emission. Transistors have no such limitations and are (i) much more efficient, (ii) can run at much lower power, and (iii) have very long lifetimes.
Vaccuum-tube triodes cannot be made much smaller than around 10 mm/half an inch in diameter, and maybe the same length. Transistors can be made at the nanometre scale, so transistor electronics are much more compact. Imagine putting together a USB memory chip with (at least) 32,000,000,000 triodes!
Conventional triodes are able to operate to about 5 GHz (5000 MHz). Some special valves can work at higher frequencies, about around 100 GHz is the limit. Such valves are large, expensive, and have high noise figures. Low-noise, small, cheap transistors exist that can easily work past 100 HGz.
How do you change typewriter ribbon of a Smith Corona?

Step 3:
Set aside.
Step 4:
Place the new cartridge in the holder and snap down.
Step 5:
For a spool model, place the two spools in the holders.
Step 6:
Thread the ribbon through the wire holding it in front of the roller.
Step 7:
Close the top.
Is technology part of science?
In a strict definition, technology is a different discipline than science although the two are so closely linked that they cannot be treated separately.
Science is the study of things and events is a systematic way to gain knowledge that can be developed into organized information. Science can be for its own sake, in other words, it does not have to have a practical application.
Technology is the use of knowledge, techniques, information in support of practical activities and solutions. Examples of the earliest technologies include the use of stones as hammers and cutting tools. Later technologies include a vast range of disciplines such as electronics, medicine, weapons and many more.
Without science, technology would be extremely limited in its scope. Without technology, science would have no practical use. There is no specific division between science and technology - the two have a great deal of work in common and there are activities and studies that can be classed as either or both.
What are Biometric devices used for?

How much does it cost to call an 0330 number on Virgin?
sit down calm down eat cheese on bread and relax
Microwave radiation won't heat a room. For microwave radiation to heat something, the "something" must contain water . It is the water molecules which get heated.
Irradiate a room with microwaves and you are likely to kill the cat.

Two ways resistance of a wire can be increased?
The resistance of a wire is determined by the following formula. R = (rho)L/A, where the greek letter rho (it looks like a p) is a value assigned to a material based on how resistive it is by nature, L is the length of the wire, and A is the cross-sectional area (AKA how thick the wire is). Increase the length, or change the material to something with higher restistivity. Hope this helps!
What does mig stand for in mig welding?
MIG stands for metal inert gas. It is a non-standard term for gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and flux cored arc welding (FCAW) according to the American Welding Society (AWS). It is simply Metal Inert Gas.
What date did Percy L.Spencer invented the microwave oven and magnetron?
If I'm not mistaken, the first microwave unit was built in the Motorola labs while experimenting on a new radio technology.
The person working on the device got too close to the magnetron (the microwave tube) and had a Hershey bar which he was holding in his back pocket and then the choclate bar melted melt. That also was a clue that microwave ovens were possible.
SCADA is an acronym that stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. SCADA refers to a system that collects data from various sensors at a factory, plant or in other remote locations and then sends this data to a central computer which then manages and controls the data.
What can fuses not provide protection against?
Fuses do not provide protection against ground faults. Protection against a ground fault can be provided by breakers. If a fuse blows, it has to be replaced. If a breaker is tripped to off due to a surge in electrical current, the breaker can be reset.
Anything that creates electrical sound (aka audio.) A piano is a sound generator but NOT an audio generator. An organ or keyboard is an audio generator and not a sound generator. These can also be thought of as signal oscillators in the 20-20k hz range which usually produce a constant signal or tone over a period of time. Sound is anything you can hear, and audio is anything you need an amplifier to hear.
