What are some Similarities and differences between Television and computer?
HDTVs are primarily designed for entertainment purposes, with users viewing content via Blu-ray, DVD, broadcast, cable and Internet streaming. Computer monitors are generally intended to be connected to desktop towers or laptop computers, and to display data, text, pictures and videos. There are some similarities and differences between the two, including the image technology, screen sizes, viewing distances and connectivity options.
Computer monitor only serves as a display, while TV is more than a display. Computer monitor needs external devices in order to use, while TV is almost all in one. Many TV set users actually use TV as display or monitor for digital TV box. Computer monitors usually smaller, while TVs usually bigger.
Is computer serial or parallel device?
Neither. A computer case is just a box to hold the parts of a computer. It provides no form of communication itself.
What are the difference between deterministic system probabilistic system?
A deterministic system has a single result or set of set of results given a set of input parameters, while a probabilistic system will have results that vary.
Often, a probabilistic system (also called stochastic model, process, or system) is solved with the Monte-Carlo method. In this case, a computer program uses a pseudo random number generator to provide values of the attributes in the system that vary. The program provides an assessment of the uncertainty of results.
Typically, a large number of runs (also called trials or iterations) are made. Summary statistics may include the value that occur most frequently (mode), the mean value, and low and high range, for instance the 10% and 90% percentile. The standard deviation and histogram of results may also be part of the summary information. There is no single standard presentation as this will depend on the application.
The alternative to Monte-Carlo methods is to solve the problems using the mathematics of probability. This can be very complicated to do in some cases.
Monte Carlo methods are available in Excel as functions. For example, randbetween() for uniform discrete distribution and rand() for uniform continuous distribution from 0 to 1.
What is the difference between Electronic commerce and Electronic Data Interchange?
Electronic Data Interchange pre-dates internet e-commerce. EDI facilitates e-commerce.
-Electronic commerce is the process of buying, selling, or exchanging products, services, or information via computer networks.
-electronic data interchange (EDI) is the electronic transfer of specially formatted standard business documents, such as bills, orders, and confirmations, sent between business partners that has pre-dated the internet. It's been around since the late 70's. EDI's are traditionally processed by Value Added Networks (VANs), which are private, third-party managed common carriers that also provide communications services and security.
- VANs can be expensive are relatively expensive and inflexible.
-Since the advent of the internet, corporations are using a combination of internet based EDI or web EDI, as a more affordable option. Recent studies have shown that Web-based EDI experience superior performance, both internally and externally.
- Recently most major retailors are requiring their suppliers to conduct business via regular or Web-based EDI. EDI services are provide by companies such as GXS (gxs.com) and sterling commerce (sterlingcommerce.com).
What is the difference between acoustic and electronic instruments?
acoustic is louder, bulkier and more natural sounding. electric is more compact and is played through an amp, and u can change the settings of the drum pads, such as a rock kit, a dance kit etc. acoustic looks better, and when u play electric, u can sometimes hear the sticks hitting the pads which sounds bad, so crank it up. acoustic for live shows, electric for practising at home. electric at its cheapest is more expensive then acoustic at its cheapest :)
Differential between business system and information system?

What is the difference between DSS and MIS?
Explain the decision support system concept and how it differ from traditional management information system?
===============================================================
Difference Between DSS and MIS:-
MIS:
1) Management Information system operates on operational efficiency i.e. it concentrates to do the things in right manner.
2) It allows the communication across the managers from different areas in a business organisation.
3)It allows flow of information in both upward and downward direction.
4)MIS is original form of management information.
DSS:
1) Decision support system helps in making effective decisions as it allows to do only right things.
2) It is concerned about leadership and senior management in an organization providing effective judgment support.
3)It flows only in upward direction.
4)DSS is actually advancement of MIS.
How does a software differ from a hardware?
In the most simplistic terms, hardware is tangible, software is not. Things like monitors, keyboards, mice, printers, hard drives, etc. are all examples of hardware. They are actual physical devices that you can see and touch. Things like Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc. are all examples of software. They are not physical in any way - they only exist logically, within CDs or hard drives. The only way you can actually really "see" the software is by running the application on your computer.
What are the advantages of internal modem?
These devices server two purposes. The modem (more likely a Router if you use Broadband) connects you to the Internet. The Wireless part allows you to connect your PC to it. The advantages over a Wired Router is that a wired router requires you to connect your PC with a network cable. This restricts the position of your PC and Router as they both have to be within 5m of each other - or you invest in room to room cabling. The wireless connection allows you much more freedom as to where you locate your PC or laptop. The Wireless signal can travel through walls and ceilings so you do not need "line of sight" but it is restricted by the density of the walls and live electrical cabling. Wireless routers also allow you to connect other devices which do not have a network lead connection. This would include mobile phones, game consoles, television receivers etc.
What are the main differences between a prepaid phones and contract phones?
A prepaid phone is a phone you pay for ahead of time and for every minute or text sent usually in a package format such as 200 minutes or 200 texts. A contract phone is a phone you pay the same for no matter what every month depending on the type of contract signed.
What is the difference of indirect materials and direct materials?
One is indirect and one is direct!

What is the difference between drive c and d on the computer hardrive?
c: is that partition of ur harddisk from where ur system boots and d drive is any other partition.
What is the difference between Drive and Directory?
drive is the partition on your hard disk - c:, d: etc are examples. softwares & files are stored in directories which are stored inside the drives of a hard disk.
the hard disk is physical, partitions / drives as they are commonly called are virtual bifurcations on your physical drive, where softwares of files are stored in directories for ease of access to particular information.
What is the difference between SP and lP?
Since this is a VCR question, it all has to do with the speed the tape runs through the VCR. The faster the tape, the higher the quality of the video you're recording because the recorder is able to put more picture information on the tape.
SP, or standard speed will allow a VHS tape to record for a period of 2 hours and will provide the highest quality picture. EP (which has for the most part, been dropped by the manufacturers) would record for four hours and LP, which is the slowest speed, will record for six hours, but with degraded video. This is of course, based on the standard VHS cassette. They do make an 8 hour tape, which will run at approximately 2 hrs and 40 minutes at SP, 5 hours and 40 minutes at EP, and eight hours at lp. Most stores don't carry the T-160 tapes and they are a bit more expensive.
Most VCR's manufactured today will still play an EP recorded tape, but cannot record at that speed.
My computer is running slow and not showing webpages?
There are several primary areas that could be causing your computer to run slow. The most likely reason is that your registry has become corrupt,you have too many programs running behind the scenes and your system is essentially running in circles with its internal processing. To determine if your system is in fact running slow because of problems in your registry and temp files and then speed up your computer, you will need to run a self diagnostic program called registry cleaner.This program is very very useful,it can fix registry errors,clean registry remnant,corrupt files and temp files in a few minutes. Then it gives you a computer that acts about as fast as it was when the operating system was installed.
The second most common problem is that you have spyware/adware in your computer. Spyware/adware not only pops up ads and collects personal info, but also can hamper your computer's performance. It uses system resources and slow your computer down. Detecting and removing the programs will improve system performance.
Your computer will run slow if you have visited many sites because they leave files every time you visit them. It would help if you do a disk cleanup then a defragmentation, you can do that by going to start click programs, accessories then system tools where you will find disk cleanup & defragment.
What is the difference between armored cable and mc cable?

What is difference between internet and cloud?
The basic difference between the web and the cloud is the services they offer their clients. While cloud offers a vast amount of storage, applications and hardware to be manipulated and controlled by user at a low cost, the web only offers a certain amount of space to store data that can only be recovered but not controlled or manipulated. In addition, the web only lets the user to use a portion of the server, even though most of its resources are idle consuming power and space, whereas cloud gives users access to as much server resources as the user expects, allowing maximum consumption of resources
