Operating Systems

pageable link pack area (PLPA)

An element of MVS/ESA virtual storage. This area contains supervisor call routines, access methods, and other read-only system programs along with read-only reenterable user programs selected by an installation to be shared among users of the system. Optional functions or devices selected by an installation during system generation add additional modules to the PLPA.

In process switching the CPU is required to be personally involve with every forwarding decision. Process switching is similar to doing long math versus doing it the quick way.

Surgical operations are performed in special suite in the Hospital called Operating Theatres. Some procedures may also be carried out in the Cardiology or Radiology department and the Endoscopy suite.

It depends on your operating system. If you go into the program and then look at options you should see the choice to temporarily disable. I don't use avg I'd suggest something different.

i dont know the answer either but ha it looks like this question has an answer but no it doesnt so yea some answer this question cause i need it answerd as well

Mostly operating systems are developed by assembly languages and C. Windows operationg system is developed by Visual C++

Device drivers are sets of software instructions that control the interface between a computer and a connected peripheral device. Device drivers tell your machine what the device is, what the device does, and all the other instructions needed for proper operation. For instance, Microsoft Windows does not ship with a specific device driver set for all the features in your new Logitech keyboard that has custom buttons.

they are the i phone 5 still not out yet

No, you will have to have separate license key for each computer.

Because the greater part of consumers who play games use this platform.

Elephant terrorists were attacking America so America invented the internet and multiprogramming. Multiprocessing was what they stole from the Elephants. The key motivation behind developing both these multi-technothingies was to avoid the elephants uprising.

The major vendors in the market right now are IBM (itself has 90% market share), Groupe Bull, Unisys, HP and Oracle (Sun Microsystems).

Linux is a Unix-like system. This means that it is inspired or influenced by Unix in some shape or form (Linux started off from Minix), but it is not directly derived from Unix. However, BSD is based on Unix, and macOS is indirectly Unix-based because of its mixed heritage with BSD.

Yes, you can, and it's rather easy :)

1. Run > Regedit

2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows

3. Change CSDVersion string value from 200 to 300

4. Reboot

5. Install Office 2010 and reboot again

6. Repeat first 4 steps to get 300 to 200 value again

6. Voila! Enjoy your product ;)

The operating system runs your computer and lets you use it.

Data privacy is a branch o security of data that controls the proper handling of the data - consent, notice, and obligatory regulations.

Response Time

The question is vague, but a process in reference to a database usually involves 1-x transactions and completes some predefined amount of work. A transaction is the smallest unit of work that is complete in the database scheme of things. The system is even larger than the process and usually covers a complete area of business and contains many processes.

GNU is a Free Software project which is essential to the Linux operating system. It is a project that provides and distributes a lot of the software which is essential to making a fully-functional operating system distribution based upon the Linux kernel. For example, the Linux tools/commands that allow you to enter and run commands, copy files from one directory to another, compress and uncompress files, search for strings within text files, and mount and unmount filesystems are all GNU-provided tools. In short, GNU is a project which provides a major portion of the base Linux operating system - besides Linux itself which is the kernel and is provided by a separate project. It does not however provide the entire rest of the operating system; primarily just the type of basic tools mentioned above (although a very lot of them). Some GNU software has also been ported to run on other operating systems also. Some people refer to the Linux operating system as GNU/Linux to reflect the major contribution which GNU provides to that operating system.

You have to have some kind of software to operate a computer. For a computer to even know what to do when you power it on, there is software stored on a chip on the motherboard, called the bios. This tells the computer what disk drives and other components are connected so that it can do something. From the bios, the computer looks for software on a floppy, hard disk, or CD drive to run an operating system of some kind.

It is possible to run a computer without software by typing commands in machine language. Even then, you need the software on the computer chip to operate the keyboard. The old VIC 20 and C64's operated in somewhat that way. To do anything you had to type in commands.

Unless you are doing something very basic or sophisticated it is impractical to operate a computer without software
