When on the Internet you are actually downloading, to your computer's hard disk drive, each page you view. In addition to downloading web pages, when downloading software such as a software update or patch you are also downloading a file to the computer. When downloading a file it is important that you remember where you copied the file to on your hard disk drive. If this is not known you may have a difficult time locating the file and running it to have it do its specific task. Several downloads can be found through our download page. 08/2000 - What is a cookie? 1. Cooking software 2. Web site 3. Internet information file 4. Hacker file Cookie, in short, is an Internet File. The complete definition of a computer Cookie is an HTTP header that consists of a text-only string that gets entered into the memory of your browser. This string contains the domain, path, lifetime, and value of a variable that you set. If the lifetime of this variable is longer than the time the user spends at your site, then this string is saved to file for future reference. Many believe that computer cookies are dangerous and are a privacy concern. However, cookies are stored on your computer hard disk drive and only accessible by the page it was created or the user of the computer. Some examples of how computer cookies can help you are: Store on your hard disk drive your personal information and preferences for a web site such as an Internet Store. This information can only be accessed by that store and is used to help direct you faster to places that most interest you. Store information about your preferences for a start page. If you have a customized start page that contains information such as local weather and news, this information is placed on the web page by looking at information from a cookie. The above are just a few good examples of computer cookies, to help understand what exactly they are used for. 07/2000 - What is degauss? 1. Attachment for CPU 2. Creating magnetic media 3. Erasing magnetic media 4. Medical software Term derived from Johann Gauss who was a mathematician that studied and worked with electromagnetic fields. Degauss is a method of erasing magnetic media and the removal of remnants of previously recorded signals. The degauss process is achieved by passing magnetic media through a magnet field more powerful than the media itself in order to rearrange the magnetic particles.

Update: Michael B., a visitor of Computer Hope, also indicated that Degaussing was first used by the British Royal Navy in the 2nd WW. An electro-magnetic cable was inserted on the inside and around each warship as a safeguard against magnetic mines. Each time a ship came into harbor it was degaussed. An electrical current was passed through this cable and the magnetic field was neutralized, hence the magnetic mine was unemployed. When degaussing a monitor the degauss demagnetizes the CRT, fixing possible color impurities. After either the Degauss button is pressed or the monitor is manually Degaussed, the degaussing circuit will be activated and then deactivated after a few seconds. Older monitors may not have this ability; however, handheld monitor degauss can also be used to restore color impurities. Additional Information on Monitors can be found on our monitor page. 06/2000 - A Computer Virus cannot be contracted by. 1. Floppy diskette 2. E-mail 3. Scanner 4.

Modern processors contain millions of transistors that are etched onto a tiny square silicon called a die, which is about the with of a standard thumb. The CPU performs the system's calculating and processing. The majority of personal computers included the Intel processors. Intel released the first processor, the 4004, in 1971. Today, the market is being shared by other companies such as the popular AMD processor manufactured by the AMD company. Additional information can be found on our CPU page. 04/2000 - A Cathode Ray Tube is found in what? 1. CPU 2. Printer 3. Monitor 4. Scanner A Cathode Ray Tube that is commonly referred to as a CRT is found in a Computer Monitor. The CRT is the main component and most expensive part within your computer monitor. Within the

CRT are three electron guns: Red, Green and Blue. Each of these guns streams a steady flow of electrons left to right for each line of your monitor. As the electrons hit the phosphors on the CRT, the phosphor will glow certain intensities. As a new line begins, the guns will then begin at the left and continue right, these guns will repeat this process sometimes thousands of times, until the screen has been completely drawn line by line. Once the phosphors on the CRT have been hit with an electron they will only glow for a short period of time; because of this, the CRT must be refreshed, which means the process will be repeated as explained above. Additional information on computer Monitors can be found on our Monitor Page. 03/2000 - What does the term IRQ stand for? 1. Input Request Que 2. Interrupt Request Que 3. Interrupt Request 4.

Every PC computer has a maximum of 15 IRQs and are prioritized in the computer according to the importance of the device. see the Understanding system resources page for additional information. 02/2000 - The Intel Pentium bug/flaw was an issue with the: 1.
