From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A computer is a programmable machine that receives input, stores and manipulates data, and provides output in a useful format. Although mechanical examples of computers have existed through much of recorded human history, the first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century (1940–1945). These were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs). Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space. Simple computers are small enough to fit into small pocket devices, and can be powered by a small battery. Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information Age and are what most people think of as "computers". The embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are however the most numerous. The ability to store and execute lists of instructions called programs makes computers extremely versatile, distinguishing them from calculators. The Church–Turing thesis is a mathematical statement of this versatility: any computer with a certain minimum capability is, in principle, capable of performing the same tasks that any other computer can perform. Therefore computers ranging from a netbook to a supercomputer are all able to perform the same computational tasks, given enough time and storage capacity. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What makes a computer choosing random numbers, start at 3, or 5, or 3027846? Q. A computer starts somewhere. It starts with a bios and a CPU and a motherboard ect... When we code that computer to pump out a random number, what makes it pick the number it picks? Exactly the same computer sits beside it's identical and they both pick different 1st random numbers. Is the Bios fed a seed during construction and every new bios gets a different seed? Those of us that have worked with random numbers know what a seed is. So why does my computer give a number between 100 and 1000 as 756, but yours gives, 537? Is that not a form of intelligence beyond that of artificial? We gave the computer the ability to give random numbers, but what makes it give or pick that random number when in reality it has no 'will' to decide.… [cont.] Asked by LipSync - Sat Jul 22 06:48:08 2006 - - 5 Answers - 2 Comments A. Anything that needs a seed is NOT a random number generator! It is a pseudo-random number generator that will deliver a totally repeatable and predictable sequence of numbers that appear to be random, by using some mathematical function. Some computer languages and some math packages have an option for selecting a seed by using a number of variable values that can be read from the hardware. For example, the current time, date, and local Ethernet MAC address can be used to create the seed. If you repeat the operation later, the seed would be different because of the time difference. If you ran the same generator at exactly the same time on two such computers, the seeds would be different because of the different MAC addresses. If you… [cont.] Answered by pondering_it_all - Sat Jul 22 07:58:19 2006 Will computer engineers in the philippines be able to have a licensure exam? Q. Im a computer engineering student but i am planning to shift to other programs if computer engineering will not have a licensure/board exam.. i want to be a registered computer engineer!

It is an experience driven industry which changes very fast. Answered by Eric - Fri Jan 16 18:44:46 2009 Whats the difference between computer science and computer informations systems?
Q. What is the difference between a bachelors of science in computer science and a bachelor's of science in computer information systems? Which has more job opportunities and better pay? Which one will help me gain more skills in computers? Asked by Yesi - Mon Aug 31 05:15:34 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Computer science is by far the better choice. You'll learn a lot about programming, computer architecture, and even a little bit about hardware. With such a degree you could work for a software or hardware giant designing new computers and applications. Information systems deals mostly with installing and maintaining business networks (i.e., being a IT service tech). Answered by hallmanjj - Thu Sep 3 10:30:07 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "computer" A computer is a machine for manipulating data according to a list of instructions. Computers take many forms, from early room-sized complexes to modern personal computers (PCs) and personal digital assistants (PDAs) to tiny embedded systems that add sophisticated capabilities to other devices like toys and appliances.
