Networking Basics

This category covers the basic fundamentals of computer networking. It also serves as an introduction for those new to computer networking. Every great network started from the simplest network. This article takes a look at the most basic network and a few of its requirements.Converting decimal numbers into binary numbers is one of the most common and simplest procedures to perform. Want to know more about the conversion of decimal numbers into binary numbers? Then, please read on.

This article is a brief explanation on how to convert decimals and decimal fractions to octal, a base-8 number system that uses eight unique symbols (0,1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7).A connector is best known for providing a physical link between two components. But there are different connectors depending on the type of connection being made and each has its own feature. Find out more about connectors. What exactly is an Ethernet network?

Computers For Kids

Computers For Kids is a registered charity located in Windsor, Ontario. Our facility includes a 24,000 square foot warehouse dedicated to refurbishing and recycling electronics. Our goal is to seek out serviceable electronic donations, both personal and corporate, so that we may assist the children of our community with computer access.We are dedicated to transforming unwanted computers into educational tools for children in need. In doing so, we are helping to preserve the environment through the responsible reuse and recycling of electronic waste.We recognize the importance of computer literacy and believe that all children should have access to computer technology.Founded in early 2004, Computers for Kids has partnered to open over 40 after school and summer programs. We have also made individual placements of computers that are benefiting over 2000 special needs youth. All of this has helped us to divert over 2.5 million lbs. of electronic waste from area landfills.
Electronic waste, e-waste, e-scrap, or Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) describes loosely discarded, surplus, obsolete, broken, electrical or electronic devices. In Ontario, this includes Desktop computers, Portable computers, Computer peripherals, Monitors, Televisions, Printing devices, Telephones (physical and accessories), Cellular phones, PDA’s and pagers, Audio and video players, Cameras, Equalizers, (pre)amplifiers, Radios, Receivers, Speakers, Tuners, Turntables, Video players/projectors, Video recorders, and Personal hand held computers.E-waste contains a number of very serious contaminants such as lead, cadmium, beryllium, and brominated flame retardants. It also contains a number of valuable materials, including copper, steel, plastics, etc.
There is also a rapidly growing problem of young people falling behind in school because they lack access to computer technology away from school.Computers for Kids accepts donation of all OES Phase 1 and Phase 2 materials. For a complete list, please see the attached file.There are other organizations that will accept your unwanted electronic waste, but by giving to Computers for Kids, you are helping us to fulfill our mandate of ensuring that no child falls behind because they don't have access to computer technology away from school.You are also helping to ensure that we leave this world a better place than we found it!

Stanford University's Computer Science

Stanford University's Computer Science Department is part of the School of Engineering. The department offers the degrees Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy. It also participates in the following undergraduate inter-disciplinary programs: Computer Systems Engineering, Symbolic Systems, and Mathematical and Computational Sciences.

Founded in 1965, the Department of Computer Science is a center for research and education at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Strong research groups exist in areas of artificial intelligence, robotics, foundations of computer science, scientific computing, and systems. Basic work in computer science is the main research goal of these groups, but there is also a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research and on applications that stimulate basic research.

Fields in which interdisciplinary work has been undertaken include chemistry, genetics, linguistics, physics, medicine and various areas of engineering, construction, and manufacturing. Close ties are maintained with researchers with computational interests in other university departments. In addition, both faculty and students commonly work with investigators at nearby research or industrial institutions. The main educational goal is to prepare students for research and teaching careers either in universities or in industry.

Founded in Melbourne, Australia in 1978, Computershare (ASX: CPU) has grown (largely through overseas acquisitions) to become the world's largest share registry business.In brief, Computershare is a leading financial market services and technology provider managing over 14,000 corporate accounts totalling over 100 million shareholder accounts. Basically, Computershare specializes in the corporate trust, stock transfer and employee share plan services for thousands of issuers and millions of securityholder accounts.

Some twenty years after its founding, in 1997, the Australian-based company Computershare began to expand its evergrowing registry business to include financial markets in New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

In subsequent years, Computershare expanded its business into Ireland, South Africa, and Hong Kong. Since the year 2000, Computershare had extended its global position by acquiring an important role in the American and Canadian markets. In particular, through the acquisition of the stock transfer sectors of Harris Bank in the US and Montreal Trust in Canada. Moreover, since 2004, Computershare has made itself present in emerging markets such as Russia and India by amassing considerable stock in respective registry market's. Also in 2004, by purchasing Pepper Global, formerly Pepper Technologies AG, Computershare expanded into the German market. For the most part, the entry into these new markets were accomplished through financial acquisitions of existing registrar corporations.

computer technology

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. 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.^[2] 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". However, the embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are 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
