How big were the first computers?

The first computers were huge machines that took up whole rooms. For example, the ENIAC computer, which is located in Aberdeen, Maryland, weighed nearly thirty tons and occupied 15,000 square feet of floor space. ENIAC contained more than nineteen thousand vacuum tubes and preformed about five thousand addition a second. That is super slow for today but it was super fast back in those days. Now days computers are tiny compared to what they were so long ago in 1949.

How did the word bug come into the computer language?

Back when computers were huge and room sized a couple of programmers were trying a new computer and it was not working. So they got to looking inside the mammoth computer and seen a moth. After removing, the moth that one of them called a bug the computer worked fine. The term bug came to represent any line of code within a program that did not work, as it should.

What is Bill Gates real name?

William Henry Gates III, he changed it early in life simply because it was easier to say.

Which is bigger the bit or byte?

A byte is 8 bits, so the byte is bigger. A bit is a bit of data or information.

How long has the internet been around?

1988 saw the computer get a new avenue, with the introduction on the internet. Since 1988, the world seems a whole lot closer then it used to be. This means the internet is almost twenty years old. I find that amazing because the internet is so popular these days.

Which company is credited with the first mouse within a computer?

Apple is credited with having the first successful computer with a mouse attached.

Which company is credited with the first laptop?

That honor goes to Radio Shack who invented the first laptop in the world. Today laptops are almost as common as desktop computers.

WHO IS THE FIRST INVENTOR OF "PROGRAMMABLE COMPUTER"?

KONRAD ZUSE (1910-1995)

-inventor of first working programmable computer

-world's first program-controlled computer. Despite certain mechanical engineering problems it had all the basic ingredients of modern machines, using the binary system and today's standard separation of storage and control. Zuse's 1936 patent application (Z23139/GMD Nr. 005/021) also suggests a von Neumann architecture (re-invented in 1945) with program and data modifiable in storage.

-1941: Zuse completes Z3, world's first fully functional programmable computer.

-1945: Zuse describes Plankalkuel, world's first higher-level programming language, containing many standard features of today's programming languages. FORTRAN came almost a decade later. Zuse also used Plankalkuel to design world's first chess program.
-1946: Zuse founds world's first computer startup company: the Zuse-Ingenieurbüro Hopferau. Venture capital raised through ETH Zürich and an IBM option on Zuse's patents.

Note: Babbage (UK, around 1840) planned but was unable to build a non-binary, decimal, programmable machine. The binary ABC (US, 1942) of Atanasoff (of Bulgarian origin) and Eckert and Mauchly's decimal ENIAC (US, 1945/46) were special purpose calculators, in principle like those of Schickard, (1623), Pascal (1640) and Leibniz (1670), though faster (with tubes instead of gears; today we use transistors). None of these machines was freely programmable. Neither was Turing et al.'s Colossus (UK, 1943-45) used to break the Nazi code. The first programmable machine built by someone other than Zuse was Aiken's MARK I (US, 1944) which was still decimal, without separation of storage and control.

What nasty 1999 computer worm, named after a lap dancer, first appeared inside a list of passwords to pornographic websites?



No answer.Low IQ.

Getting some ideas...

Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program developed by Microsoft. It is part of the Microsoft Office suite, and runs on Microsoft Windows and Apple's Mac OS X computer operating systems.
PowerPoint is widely used by business people, educators, students, and trainers and among the most prevalent forms of persuasive technology. Beginning with Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft revised the branding to emphasize PowerPoint's place within the office suite, calling it Microsoft Office PowerPoint instead of just Microsoft PowerPoint. The current versions are Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 for Windows and 2008 for Mac.

When will the war perish?

When will the war of intelligent blooming flowers end?

Even if you all say there is no war, still in your mind you are insecure of each other that leads to competitions.....

(as mr. ebs sanduks says) In short na naka brief, censored......



When will Iris and Orchid backstabing, competitive thoughts and even facts will stop hurting each other?

Ikaw ba ang simula?
