Originally, as envisaged in 1987 by Patterson, Gibson and Katz from the University of California in Berkeley, the acronym RAID stood for a "Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks". In short a larger number of smaller cheaper disks could be used in place of a single much more expensive large hard disk, or even to create a disk that was larger than any currently available. They went a stage further and postulated a variety of options that would not only result in getting a big disk for a lower cost, but could improve performance, or increase reliability at the same time. Partly the options for improved reliability were required as using multiple disks gave a reduction in the Mean-Time-Between-Failure...

Over the years the price and the amount of storage flash drives contain has changed ridiculously. IBM being the first to release the flash drive to the public, released their 8MB flash drive in December of 2000. At this time this would cost you several hundred dollars. At this time this was huge because 8MB was eight times as much as the normal and current floppy disks held.

Converting units of measurements is not difficult. You basically need to multiply or divide the number of a unit by the difference in ratio of the other unit. A unit that is larger to be converted to a smaller unit usually requires you to multiply, while a smaller unit to a larger unit usually requires you to divide. So what is so great about converting units from one to another? One of the biggest contributions of converting units of measurements with one another is that you are able to remember a number without so many decimal points. For example, 1.0936133 yards is not an easy number to remember. However, when you convert yards to meter, you will find that it is equivalent to 1 meter, which is an...

The "bad guys" who are on-line are constantly conducting reconnaissance on the Internet and probing to find connected...

Everything is so automated humans are now relying too much on technology. This is very dangerous because technology is made by the same humans who are losing their ability to think. Consider if you will the simplest of technologies; a cash register. Today over 50% of the retail employees in this country cannot count back the change unless the cash register tells them the amount and then they simply pick it up and hand it to you? Indeed the cash registers are only one example and folks also complained when the calculators replaced the slide rules. Today think of all the technology we have and how people have stopped thinking, hardly anyone remembers phone numbers, names, etc, as they simply look at...

If you've ever used a computer, pager, cell phone, or any other device requiring electronic components, then underneath all of those layers of metal you will eventually find a printed circuit board. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) have been used for more than 40 years, but today's models are so technologically-improved that they bear only the most basic resemblance to their forebears. Here's a little information about the 3 different types of printed circuit boards. 1. Single-sided board: Adequate for simple games and other non-complex electronics, a single-sided board is compromised of just one substrate with a fairly straight-forward set of components. An extremely thin layer of conducting material...

The progression of computer programming languages was made possible by the programmer's search for efficient translation of human language into something that can be read and understood by computers. The languages generated, called machine code, have high levels of abstraction, which hide the computer hardware and make use of representations that are more convenient to programmers. As programs evolve and become more sophisticated, programmers found out that certain types of computer languages are easier to support. As expected in a dynamic discipline, there is no standard for categorizing the languages used in programming. There are, in fact, dozens of categories. One of the most basic ways to...
