To speed up processing, jobs with similar needs were batched together and were run through the computer as a group. Thus, the programmers would leave their programs with the operator. The operator would sort programs into batches with similar requirements and, as the computer, became available, would run each batch. The output from each job would be sent back to the appropriate programmer
What types of NX clients are available?
NX clients are available for Windows operating system, Linux operating system, Mac OSX and Solaris. NX client products can be found on the No Machine NX website.
Can computers that use the same operating system use the same software and peripheral devices?
If they also use the same CPU architecture, yes.
If not a version of such software and peripheral device drivers will have to be compiled and built for the CPU architecture they use.
One example of this was Apple's migration of their Macintosh computers and Mac OS operating system from the Motorola 68000 CPU architecture to the PowerPC CPU architecture to the current Intel 80x86 family CPU architecture. At each transition both the operating system and all software had to be recompiled and rebuilt. Apple smoothed out these transitions by developing a format for application software files that allowed for storing both the code for the older and newer architectures, making the transition largely transparent to users.

There are several things that can be associated with clipping: clipping mask which refers that something is clipped inside defined area which can be in Photoshop vector object or pixels on that layer to which you are clipping something. Another way that you can hear is that color is clipped to either black or white with mean that color is pure black or white without any details or when resizing canvas for example and new size of canvas is smaller then previous then clipping can occur with mean that some areas will be clipped or masked and invisible with that new canvas size.
In vector based programs like Adobe Illustrator you can clip or mask objects using vector shape and clipping mask.

Why some times command line interpreter are not the part of the kernel?
Not integrating the command interpreter into the kernel allows for easier replacement and customization. It can also increase reliability.
How does journaling help an operating system recover from system failures?
In a journaling file system -- such as ext3 or NTFS -- changes are written to a separate log - the journal - before being committed to the main storage area. This journal contains information about the intended changes.
In the event of power failure or system crash tools can compare the journal to the main file system and discover inconsistencies without walking the entire file system.
Can physical address and virtual address be same?
your question is wrong.
it should be "can physical address and logical address be same"
answer is no
because logical address is the combination of page number and offset
whereas physical address is the combination of physical page[frame] and offset

1. What are the two kinds of installation of an operating system? Explain Briefly.
What are the most common operating system problems?
There are tons of operating systems so to such a broad question I can only give a very broad answer. The most common problem that affects most computers is a fatal system error. Then, for the Windows NT family of computers, there is the BSOD or Blue Screen of Death. Its counterpart in the UNIX family of computers (including Linux and Mac OS X) is the kernel panic. Without going into too much detail, these problems bring the operating system to a halt and can even shut them down.
Another problem which does not quite affect the UNIX PC's as much as the Windows PC's is the whole concept of viruses and malicious software, better known as malware.
From here on you can specify and generate many other questions to be answered elsewhere at a later time.
Can compaq operating system CD can used on desktop emachine?
