What is the Difference between a single threaded file server and a multi-threaded file server?

Single thread means that the processor will wait until one 'process' is complete before it opens a new thread or 'process'. Multi-thread can handle multiple threads simultaneously making it faster and more responsive.

What are heuristics?

  • Heuristics are "rules of thumb". A heuristic is an attempt at guessing an answer to a problem, which could be correct, but does not guarantee it to be correct (or even suitable). A common method of applying heuristics is to state the problem, record a number of possible solutions, and then eliminate those which are least likely to be correct. Continue comparing and eliminating until only one answer is left. That one is probably the closest to being correct.
  • When dealing with computer viruses, heuristics are used to detect variations of the same infection. For example: One signature can detect "pbot.a", "pbot.c" and "pbot.d", even before the threat is "in the wild.
  • Heuristcis may be deoned alsio as "trial-and-error" procedure for solving problems (or reaching an unclear goal) through incremental exploration, and by employing a known criteria to unknown factors. For example, trying to climb a fog shrouded hill by making every step an upward-step. In journalism, a well known heuristic is asking Who? What? When? Where? Why? in investigating a news story. A heuristic employs independent discovery, and relies heavily on common sense, creativity, and learning from experience. Unlike an algorithm, however, it offers no guaranty of solving any problem.

  • the word comes from the Greek 'heuriskein,' that means to discover.

Identify two physical-layer network problems Choose two?

Two physical-layer network problems include cable breakages and missing NIC drivers. These problems prevent the first part of the network from working - the part where the data packet leaves the sender computer to travel towards the receiver.

What is the difference between 2rx8 and 2rx4 memory?

My IT provider is convincing me there is no difference between a 2Rx4 and a 2Rx8 RAM. A little

digging aroundinformed me that x4 means 4 bits on a chip vs x8 means 8 bits. Which is good, but what difference does that make?

Is there such a thing as an open relationship?

Yes -- if both people agree that it's fine for each person to see/have sex with other people. It takes a lot of maturity and open mindedness to have that kind of relationship.

Some supposed "open relationships" are one sided--one of the people trying to get the other to accept them having affairs or indulging in threesomes. Basically, if you don't feel comfortable with the idea, tell then no.

An open relationship, as opposed to a monogamous relationship, simply means that one or both of the partners are not required to be sexually exclusive to the other. The exact nature of the rules regarding outside sexual partners varies from couple to couple.

What is the basic difference between instruction RET and IRET in 8086 microprocessor?

RET pops the PC off of the stack, while IRET pops both the flags and the PC off of the stack.

Explain the difference between a relative and an abosolute cell reference How can they be distribute when looking at a spreadsheet?

A formula containing a relative cell address looks to different cells based on a relative position to the cell containing the formula. So, if you had a formula in cell B1 which included the information from relative cell address A1, that formula, when copied to another cell will always look for the information in the cell directly to it's left on the same row. Copy that formula to B2 and the formula will use the information from A2...copy the formula to T64 and the formula will use S64. A formula containing an absolute cell address will always look to the exact same cell regardless of where you copy the formula. So if the formula in B1 contained absolute cell address A1, that formula will always look to A1, whether you copy it to B2 or T64. You can also have an address which is part relative and part absolute - so a formula will always look to a specific row but different columns (if the row is absolute and the column is relative), or the same column but different rows (if the column is absolute and the row is relative). So, if you wanted to use information contained along row 2 of each column, but the formula might be on different rows in different columns, you could make the row absolute and the column relative. so the formula in A7 would use A2, the same formula in B6 would use B2, the same formula in C26 would use C2.

What is the difference between a discrete circuit and integrated circuit?

  • Discrete components - each component: vacuum tube, transistor, resistor, capacitor, etc. is individually packaged, then connected together to make a circuit.
  • Integrated circuit - multiple components are packaged together making a complete circuit as one integrated device. Modern ICs frequently contain hundreds of billions of components in one device.

Discrete component circuitry is bulkier than ICs because more packaging is involved.

What is wireless telegraphy or telephony?

The technical term 'wireless telegraphy' has two distinct senses:

1: Where 'wireless' is an adjective qualifying the word 'telegraphy', meaning the kind of telegraphy that uses transmission by radio signals instead of over wires;

2: Where 'wireless telegraphy' is a noun phrase, meaning the use of radio signals to send telegraphic messages, usually by Morse code.

What is a manual system?

A manual filing system is filing documents using paper and cabinets. The documents are filed within a folder and then stored, by some means of categorization or another, in a cabinet for later retrieval.

This is the opposite of storing documents within folders on your computer's hard drive. In the computer world the documents are stored in a digital filing system, as opposed to the physical filing system in the manual way.

What is difference between upgrade and custom installation?

Sometimes when you begin to install a program, you will be asked if you want a "typical" or a "custom" installation. If you click on typical, the program will be installed with the components and features that the manufacturer has chosen. This may include separate additional features or programs that you may not be aware are being installed. If you choose a "custom" installation, you may pick which features and sub-features are installed. However, each installation is different and the "custom" choice may offer you options that you do not understand. If you don't understand the various program components that you are being offered, then you can usually just click on the cancel button and install the program with the "typical" features.

What is the difference between a shopping centre and a department store?

What is the difference between intelligence and wisdom?

Intelligence indicates knowledge not wisdom. A wise man knows how to use his knowledge to make a good decision. A person may have a lot of knowledge but be unable to use it properly.

Intelligence is a high-minded concept that denotes one mind being smarter than the next. Indeed, a person may be intelligent, what I call "book smart," yet display little to no common sense at all. For example, an intellectual can give you a formula for why it is wrong to step into a street with no regard for oncoming cars, but may do that exact thing by being distracted while talking on his cell phone. The formula he touts is correct, full of common sense as well as an avoidance of danger, but in reality, he was distracted the same way many of us are.

Wisdom, on the other hand, denotes life-experience: what I equate with having common sense to share with others. A wise man doesn't have to be the cliche of someone pondering life while living in a cave; he can be someone with a lifetime of experiences to share. They can be personal experiences unique unto him, or more worldly; a generalized version of the same truths. A WISE man would not have stepped in front of oncoming traffic. He would have understood the concept of imminent danger, in a way the intellect would not. He did not have an arrogant "it will never happen to me" attitude toward life; because he KNOWS life is fragile.

What is the difference between Hd monitor and HDTV?

HD stands for High Definition. This term is misused constantly. HDTV is spesifically a digital TV signal in 720p, 1080i or 1080p. The number refers to the number of horizontal lines that make up the pictuire.

The i stands for an interlaced picture. Essentially the picture is drawn in two steps. First lines 1, 2, 5, 7 etc are drawn, then line 2, 4, 6, 8 are drawn. This gives very detailed and clear image, but could cause some jitter in high speed movement as the two fields in a frame are are slighly out of sync in fast motion.

The p stands for progressive scan. This means that each frame is drawn in one pass. However this also means that it takes twice as long for the image to refresh. In sports it means that each image is sharper and jitter-free, but the motion is not as smooth. Of course the average viewer really doesn't see much of a difference in normal viewing conditions. Double-blind surveys have proven this over and over. The differences are generally only noticed in conditions that most people will never have in their homes. But that is topic for another debate.

Though just about every HDTV on the market now supports 1080p, only some HD divices and specialty satellite and cable channels (not ones one would watch on a regular basis) provide this format.

For reference, standard definition picture on an old style TV was closest to 480i. (Analog 535 lines interlaced)

LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Diode.

LCD is one of the most common types of HD TV.

Plasma, DLP (Digital Light Prosessing), CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), and OLED (Organic Light Emiting Diode) are other types of HDTV. Each have their advantages and disadvantages. All provide a fantastic picture when fed a true HD signal.

With an LCD TV (which could be an HD TV or a Standard Definition TV (SDTV)), there is a light source (flourescent, LED, etc) that shines through a liquid crystal display to produce the picture.

What is the difference between Table and Relation in Database?

In a table each column attributes are independent, In a table row order & column order are mandatory & that cannot be changed, Table can be of more than 2 dimentions, There may be of rows and columns duplication in a table. Relation: In a Relation in which all attributes are dependent in one or the other way, The row and column orders are not considered, Relation is always 2 dimentional, There cannot be duplication of rows and columns in a relation There is no difference they both refers to the collection of rows and colls which used to store data.

_________________________________________________________

Table The physical instantiation of a relation in the database schema. Relation A logical construct that organizes data into rows and columns.

A table is essentially a two-dimensional matrix. But, a relation need not be so.

What is the difference between open and close switch?

In an open circuit no cuttent can flow so the switch would have to be in the off position- the switch is open and not completing the circuit. A closed circuit is one where current can flow all the way through, the switch would have to on and therefore closed.
