1024 gigabytes = terabyte.

How can you edit a host file on a mac?

Mac OS X has a simple file in hosts which is being consulted prior to DNS, to add a "local", you can resolve or edit the file with any simple text edit software, like textedit, pico or vi (make sure you have root priv.)

Some of them. Case, monitors, etc. Not hard drives or processors (or RAM I believe)

They do not make their motherboards, CPUs, RAM, graphics cards, monitors (the monitor uses LG Philips panels, hard drives, power supply units, fans, or sound cards (if present).

Apple makes the cases and puts the other things in it.

theyoon't even put the stuff in it..... a plant in indi a does it

What can a Mac do that windows can't?

Run on platform IBM System/390. :)

Linux can run on dozens of types of systems, from 68020 based Macs through phones based on ARM architecture. Sparc? yes! MIPS? Yes!

The Android platform is built on top of Linux.

Linux is reliable. Many Linux systems run continuously for months and sometimes years without being rebooted.

Linux is robust. While is possible for a linux system to crash, it is rare. There is a sharp boundary between the operating system kernel layer and user applications. This boundary is called the system call interface. In Linux, the kernel is like a closed loop. Nothing can get into it except via system calls. every system call entry point verifies parameters to the call carefully so that nothing an ordinary application does can hurt the running system

In windows, when the system crashes, it is possible to blame the crash on a buggy application, or one infected by a virus. If a system crash ever occurs with Linux, the Linux developers treat it as a serious matter, because it is something that should never happen, and for it to ever happen would reflect very badly on the O.S. The Linux bug reporting procedures ensure that thousands of developers can very quickly learn of, and discuss the bug, as well as the cleanest way of solving it. Following such discussion, the person or persons responsible for the part of the system involved with the crash determines the cleanest way to solve the problem, codes a fix and begins regression testing, to make sure that the fix does not affect any other part of the kernel. The bug fix makes it's way to the Linux repositories, and Linux users are notified that the fix is available either upon request or automatic download.

The above procedure does not work with proprietary device drivers, so users are discouraged from using vendor drivers that are not open source. There are usually open source counterparts to such drivers, but even in cases where there are not, most such drivers are very stable as far as the kernel goes. Where they fail to be robust is in applications that make use of them. For example, the drivers for the newest Nvidia graphics cards do not interact well with some applications if the nvidia tool for Xorg.conf files has been run. When such a file is present, running the programs called emacs, or virtualbox triggers a bug in the interaction between the Nvidia driver and the Xorg server, resulting in the Xorg server dying. The only known workarounds are either removing the xorg.conf file (Xorg will invoke other drivers before the Nvidia driver in this case, preventing incorrect Xorg initialization) or using the open source "nouveau" driver in place of the Nvidia driver.

Linux can also recognize and run Windows programs, but to do so, it needs a package called Wine, and either properly licensed copies of Windows dll files, or open source replacements for those dll's that come with wine. Unfortunately, those dll's do not always perfectly simulate a windows environment because Microsoft has not released to the public detai;s of the inner workings of it's dll files, so the Wine developers had to make educated guesses in certain cases. There is a list at winehq.org of Windows applications that run flawlessly (World of Warcraft 4.3.x is at the top of the list), as well as ones that may have trouble running without, or with special configuration parameters.

A better way to run Windows programs under Linux is to run one of several virtual machine programs which let you dedicate a portion of the machine's CPU power to a copy of Windows running as a "virtual machine". Your Linux machine does need to have a valid Windows license to do it this way, however.

Linux uses the Posix API, which is largely responsible for it's robustness, in comparison with Windows, whose API started out with a design based partly on DOS, partly upon VAX/VMS and partly on the very first versions of Windows, and then had things added piecemeal, as needed.

One thing Linux does not do: throw up a blue screen when an application has a boo-boo!

How often does apple release new operating systems?

What do you plug your Ethernet in to get internet connection?

The Ethernet port is usually the largest socket on the computer (about twice the height of the others). You run your Ethernet cable from the computers Ethernet socket to a similar socket on a device called a Router. The Router is connected to your telephone line or cable TV or however you have chosen to connect to the Internet. You will need to have set up an account and pay for the Internet connection with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) who is often your telephone or cable TV supplier. The ISP will often include the Router as part of the connection package. Computers (particularly laptops) will usually have built-in wireless connectivity, for example all recent Macs come with AirPort, which will connect to a wireless router without the need for a an Ethernet cable. This means that a laptop can be used anywhere within the range of the router. the ethernet cable connects you to lan

How do you enable your mac to open exe files?

Yes, it is possible. There is software stack called 'Wine' which enables to run Windows application on Mac OS X/Linux/Unix type operating systems. Of course you should never expect full compatibility when using Wine. Not all application will be able to run or might not have expected behavior.

A sansa mp3 2 gigabyte player holds how many songs?

It depends on the quality of the recording setting and the length of the song. But, a better answer that gives you a rough idea is that a 2GB mp3 player will hold 68 hours of music, or approximately 1,300 songs at 3 minutes a song.

I like to say instead 1000 songs on a 2GB player since some will run longer, some way longer. That translates to 2000 songs on a 4GB player, 500 on a 1GB player, and 250 on a 512MB one. But read your manual, new technology will lead to eventual changes in storage methods and volume. Well, after personal real world experience and research, I have to say that separate songs generally take about 5 megabytes, with part of the memory probably taken up with spacing and digital cataloging. So, unfortunately, that will lower the the amount of individual songs to somewhere around 500.
