A computer can stay in good condition if it is well taken care of. Common sense and the knowhow can keep your computer running smoothly for many years. We know dust and bacteria are things we cannot avoid, for this reason we need to constantly dust our homes. Well it goes the same for a computer. Dusting the mouse, keyboard, and the screen keeps your computer running faster. Every few months it’s also good to open the casing of the computer and remove any dust particles inside to keep the cooling fan functioning properly. The hard drive is main part of a PC. It is where all the files are stored; therefore, cleaning the hard drive and defragmenting it is necessary to keep the computer from slowing down and freezing up.

...Faith Integration Paper (Relationship between God, Family, Society) In the field and study of computer science in relation to one’s relationship to others, I believe they can co-exist and that computer science can complement the Christian faith, if kept in perspective. For example, both computer science and Christianity affect the lives of other’s worldwide, especially loved ones at large. As computer science makes technological advances and progresses in discovering and applying new technology, we are able to do more in reaching out and keeping in touch with those who are close to us, for example our parents, society and, more importantly to God. With this in mind, the opportunities are limitless as knowledge increase and evolve, intertwining into the fabric of our relationship to others, thus benefiting others in an ever changing world. Computer science provides an opportunity to learn various ways of communicating to our family with knowledge and information and to others in many areas that would have been very difficult to access otherwise. One fine example is keeping in touch with loved ones who live overseas or perhaps maintain that important continuity of relationship, by letting others know that they are loved and respected. With computer technology, there are many websites that provide knowledge ample opportunities of maintaining communications with friends and family, while at the same time utilizing the opportunity of propagating the gospel of Christ as God...

...Lancaster, California in which I used to work at as a customer service representative. First the paper will give an overview of the company. Then, a depiction of the network that is being used by the call center will be explained. The Lancaster call center consisted of over 200 cubicles with a computer and a phone line in which connects to their main servers in the back of the building. Also there were QA offices in the back in which monitored random customer service representatives in order to maintain quality control and ensure that all representatives were following the guidelines given to them. The call center offered a separate training room in which also had its own software in which did not disrupt the live calls flowing through the center. I had to break down each section of the call center in order to get a full idea of how everything is connected in the network. First I will discuss the training area; there are about 50 computers in the training area in which are all connected to each other through a Local Area Network (LAN). Also a main computer upfront in which can monitor how well the trainees are picking up on the training software through tests given to the trainees. The computers also have intranet access in which you can look up anything having to do with Starwood or any of its affiliates. There is no live material in which you look at in the training room. So I would think...

...The needs of the company are to have an OS that is fast, reliable, compatible, and secure. Other features that will be required are easy to maintain, upgrade, and manage. Finally the overall need is to have an OS that is good with game development. Breaking down the list of needs a reliable OS is an OS that doesn’t require frequent maintenance. Compatible is an OS that easily works with other devices, and other OS’s. OS security is very important, security is how safe are the files on the computer and what is required to access them. Speed, how fast the computer can complete a task, this will be second most important for rendering images and code for games. Looking at the needs of the company my recommendation would be for the company to run PC’s with Windows 7. I recommend this OS for several reasons: its newer, resource management, security options, very compatible, easy to maintain and upgrade. When it comes to any large task that requires a PC to be tasked, resource management is going to be crucial. In the field of game development the largest task is going to be rending and compiling the game. Both of these require lots of memory, CPU time and hard drive activity. Windows 7 can stand up to the task because of it new and improved resource management system over Vista and XP. Its more streamlined programming allows for less usage by the OS to running tasks in the background, and more integrated drivers allow for better control over the hardware and what it...

...Individual assignment In the world today, there are many companies and homes who own computers. Computers that store personal information, which can be stolen by hackers. It is important to install anti-virus software and ensure their personal computers are secured with passwords. In the military, they have top security firewalls, with these security measures hackers are not able to transfer personal information. Gene Spafford states, “The only truly secure system is one that is powered off, cast in a block of concrete and sealed in a lead-lined room with armed guards.” Spafford,G. (2012). Keeping your system updated increases the protection of important information, although it is hard to maintain a track record of updates. There are many ways to ensure the disposal of personal data is performed properly, one way to dispose data is to completely erase the information in the system and hard drive. Data storage depends on the current space of your hard drive, but it is important for security measures to be installed and updated frequently.

...offer advantages that cannot be obtained through the sole use of a standalone computer. There are two common types of network, Peer-to-Peer and Client/Server. Peer-to-Peer is the simpler of the two while client server remains the more complex. Both types offer advantages and disadvantages over the others. “In a peer-to-peer network, every computer can communicate directly with every other computer.” (Dean, 2010) This set-up allows for all computers to have access to each other and the same level of authority. Because of this fact no one computer can do more or less than any other computer on the network. They do, however; each have the ability to limit and share only a portion of their resources and the ability to prevent access to certain data. As they are set up directly to each other every computer has the ability to send and receive information to and from every other computer on the network. Using Peer-to-Peer networks though however does have its advantages and disadvantages. First let’s look at the advantages. The main advantage to a Peer-to-Peer network is how simple it is to configure. This allows them to be deployed in areas where high-end technical expertise may be limited. Due to this fact they can be seen in areas from local home networks to small businesses and at times even larger companies may implement them. Another advantage is that they are less expensive to both set up and maintain. This makes them more prominent in the areas described above. However Peer-to-Peer...
