What are the differences between Multitasking and Multiuser OS?

Multiuser refers to having more than 1 person able to log into the computer and each person have their own settings (bookmark, desktop, themes, etc) Multitasking is the ability of the computer to do more than 1 thing (program) at a time. There was a time when you could not surf, type in word and listen to music on your computer all at one time.

Multitasking is the ability to operate more than one program at a time. There are two types of multi-tasking as well, preemptive and cooperative. Preemptive means that each program can request the amount of resources it needs, and the operating system will take it from a program that is not using it. Cooperative means that the programs have to be designed to share resources, or whichever program is running in the foreground will get all the resources. This means that a background program, like a media player playing a song, can't play music while you are surfing a web page, unless the programs are designed to do that.

Multi-user means the operating system has clear distinctions between users. Users cannot destroy each other's files, and unprivileged users cannot make changes to the system itself, like install new software.

Single-tasking, single user - DOS, some older versions of the Mac operating system, video game consoles, etc...

Multitasking (cooperative), single user - Windows 3.1, Mac OS 9.

Multitasking (preemptive), single user - Windows 95/98/ME

Multitasking (preemptive), multi-user - Windows NT/2000/Xp/Vista, Mac OS X, Linux

What is the difference between data model and database model?

A database is a collection of tables that is used for some purpose (typically an application of some sort).

Typically, a model is designed first, then the actual database is implemented using the model as a blueprint.

Explain how cold boot different from a warm boot?

Warm boot: not all the processes shut down. It does not take as long for a warm boot and many times users do not have to be off the system. Cold boot: Everything shuts down. There are shutdown scripts which shut down all the processes (so nothing is missed). All users must be off the system. Then, you run the startup script (check for errors). Test the system to make sure the changes you made took effect and there's no problems. Warm boot example: Configurable parameter was changed and the documentation states in order for it to take effect, a warm boot is required. In the documentation for that particular system, a warm boot's criteria will be listed. Cold boot example: Operating system upgrade on the server.

What is the difference between homepage of website and homepage of web browser?

A home page for a website is the very first page - the landing page. So, for example, Google's home page is google.com, and the home page for this site is answers.com.

A home page for a browser is the page you choose to load first when you open the browser - it can be anything you want it to be.

For example, my browser of choice is FireFox. FireFox by default has it's home page set to mozilla.com, so every time I open FireFox it opens on mozilla.com. If I want to, I can change this to open google.com when FireFox opens.

You can find out how to change your browser's home page by visiting your favorite browser's website and looking up the instructions.

What are the differences between troy ounces and regular ounces?

The troy ounce (oz t) is a unit of imperial measure. It is normally used to gauge the mass of precious metals. One troy ounce is defined as exactly 0.0311034768 kg or 31.1034768 grams. There are about 32.15 troy oz in 1 kg. One troy ounce is equivalent to approximately 1.09714 avoirdupois ('regular') ounces.

What is the difference between com files and exe files?

There's not much difference to the normal user. However, to those more concerned with how it works, there are some differences.

A COM file is self-contained and cannot exceed 64KB in size because the stack, data, and code must all fit within 64KB. EXE files have no limiting size and have more header information.

The main difference is how they are loaded. When a COM file is loaded by DOS, it is loaded into low memory. EXE files separated where the CONST is loaded low and DATA is loaded high.

Also, if you have both, say EXAMPLE.COM and EXAMPLE.EXE, in the same directory and try to execute without specifing the extention, the COM will load first.

What is the difference between database and table?

A table is an object inside a database. A database has tables of data, views, indexes and programs. A database can have 10 or thousands of tables.

More specifically, a table is a collection (rows) of data on a single related topic. For example, the Employees table would have employee data, each row being a different employee, but it would not have Inventory data. That would be in the Inventory table.

A database is a collection of objects, primarily tables, but also indexes to help search the tables, views that filter, select and combine the data in the tables, and stored procedures (pre-defined programs that perform specific actions on the database).

What are the difference between static and dynamic?

A dynamic system is a system that is constantly changing, like the human body system. A static system is a system in where there is no change, like the solar system.

-------

Dynamic systems tend to become static or attain a state of equilibrium. e.g.

if a car is assumed to be a dynamic system, then it requires fuel to continue moving forward or else it would come to a stop and become static.

Simply static systems are memory less systems e.g a circuit of battery and resister. Static systems' output only depends on the present value of input. Whereas dynamic systems have memory capability e.g RLC circuit in which capacitor may have some initial value or flip-flops. Dynamic Systems' output depends upon on future and past values.

What is the difference between URL and title of webpage?

==URL and TITLE== The URL is the location of the page. In real life, it's like the room, box or book -for example-. The Title of a page is the name of the page. It's more descriptive, but not as much as the description of the page. It's the text display in the upper part of your browser (the tab name if your browser as tabs). In real life, it's the name of a document.

What is the difference between a computer device and a computerized device?

  • computer device is a generic name for any device connected externally to a computer: e.g. printer, terminal, modem, tape drive, disk drive, punch card reader/punch; they are usually accessed by the computer through I/O ports or I/O channels
  • computerized device is any device built with one or more embedded computer(s) "hidden" inside it to control it instead of traditional mechanical, hydraulic, electronic analog, or electronic digital logic control mechanisms; they are everywhere today: e.g. typewriter, car, airplane, toaster, microwave cooker, telephone, television set, radio, vending machine, parking meter, hearing aid, traffic light, calculator, cash register, gas pump, electric toothbrush, smart bomb, smart landmine, blood pressure meter, home weather station, automatic scooping cat litter box.

Sometimes a computerized device is also a computer device: e.g. computerized laser printer is a printer computer device, computerized Wi-Fi router is a network router computer device.

Difference between job costing and process costing?

Job Order

1. Many different jobs are worked during different periods

2. Costs are accumulated by individual jobs

3. Job cost sheet is the key document controlling the accumulation of costs by a job

4. Unit costs are computed by the job on the job cost sheet

while comparing these characteristics with Process costing we find that:

Process costing

1. A single product is produced either on the continued basis or in the long periods

2. Costs are accumulated by departments

3. Department product report is the key document

4. Unit costs are computed by departments

What is the difference between raw data and information?

On TI data is referring to the minimum capacity of storage that is represented by a bit, so you can have for minimum 1 bit of information or what is the same, the possibility of represent only two values 0,1 that is the base of the binary code or the machine language.

For an instance you can have 2 megabytes of data but in this moment is only data that can't be used right away as knowledge because it haven't be processed by applying intelligence of any kind that give us meaning for an event or that describe an entity; It`s only then when it became in information an let's remember that data is storage as megabytes and when it's information you storage in bits.

So it's different to have 2 megabytes(of data) than 2 megabits(of information).
