...for numerous amounts of television shows actually depict a lesson to lure in an audience. Take the television show Scrubs. Written and directed by Ryan Levin, this comical series about a well-renowned hospital and its staff depict the everyday lives of four different characters. In this comical show that allows four friends to comment on their everyday lives about being a doctor, resident intern, and surgeon. A story line based on the comical genius of the producers of both South Park and Weeds. Follow me as I analyze both the good and bad aspects of all four of the characters tell their sides of the story through each others lines. The storyline of many different television shows normally have exactly the same sequence of events. First, the scene is set in a hospital. But as many people do not know, Sacred Heart Hospital is no ordinary hospital. Here, everyone hates everyone in a sarcastic manner. All the employees hate the boss, the chief of medicine; Dr. Bob Kelso because he is some hypocritical, crazed maniac that cannot even once admit that he really needs friends or loves his wife. As for the maintenance staff is concerned, the only person who actually is involved inside the lives of all four friends, the crazed Janitor, known as Janitor, takes all matters into his own hands when he begins his need for chaos with J.D. As for everyone else, they sort of just go along with absolutely everything that happens between the four friends and their crazed adventures. ...

...like to understand how any event or policy will have an effect on the Economy, you must first think about how it will affect supply and demand. A market is a group of buyers and sellers of a certain type of good or service. The Buyers as a group determine the demand for the product, and the sellers as a Group determines the supply of the product. The good that I have had experience purchasing is a computer I will explain the factors that affect supply and demand with this good. There are many factors that I believe could cause possible changes in supply and demand for a computer. The first possible factor is changes in technology, within the computer industry; technology is fresh and moves faster than in any other industry. This also means that pioneering products are obsolete basically overnight. So, as product life-cycles are always decreasing, the value of rapidly bringing products to market is constantly increasing. In this lively environment, speed is crucial. So far, the computer industry has succeeded by using change to its advantage. This factors into how often I will have to buy a new program for my computer based on the ever-changing technology trends. There are two substitutes that are available for my computer the first one is a laptop computer. A laptop computer is a personal computer for mobile use; a laptop assimilates most of the usual components of a desktop computer, as well as a display, a keyboard, a pointing device (a touchpad, also known as a track...

...1) What sparked your interest in computer science? How did this lead you to major in computer science and what do you hope to accomplish with your degree? In your answer, please describe how your experiences have influenced the goals you have for yourself. My interest in computer science started when I was a young child. I’ve always been interested in using the computer, and I’ve been fortunate enough to be born at the precipice of the technological age. This has allowed me to grow up alongside technology, getting bigger while technology helped the world get smaller. I am completely comfortable with technology and have an aptitude for figuring my way around any piece of technology. Using the computer feels natural to me; it feels like where I should be centering my hard work, ambition, and focus. When deciding a major for college, I...

...Decisions Product design decisions are a very important piece of any company’s success. In the Web Marketplace Business Simulator I had three personal computer markets (PC) to choose from; Workhorse, Mercedes, and Traveler. The Workhorse segment wanted an easy to use computer for use by office workers. The Mercedes segment was looking for a high performance computer to use with engineering and manufacturing applications. The Traveler segment wanted a proactive computer to use on the road. In order to determine my product design decisions I first had to decide on which PC markets I was going to target. The PC markets that I chose to market my computers to were the “Traveler” and the “Workhorse” markets. The reason I decided to choose the Traveler and Workhorse markets was because I was hoping that if I initially sold to one market that I may also be able to sell to the other market eventually. The reason behind my thinking with this tactic was that office workers sometimes have to travel and because of the changing needs in the workplace, office workers have to or travel during their day to different locations to get their job done, and in that case, having a laptop would be more convenient. Keeping my idea in mind of eventually marketing laptops to the Workhorse market, and office computers to the Traveler market I decided to name my company MyMobile Office....

...collection of lots of sops of lots of seniors. Browse. According to whacko. (Addressed to our batch) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As for SOPs, don't worry too much. All of you have good writing skills. Anyway, my advice on this matter is: [1] Have a look at some SOPs *now* or early next SEM. [2] When it's time to write your own SOP, do it *fully* by yourself. Do not look at anybody else's SOP. [3] Having made version 1.0 of your SOP, *now* take a look at as many SOPs as you can of guys in your area. Borrow points from then which you think are good. [4] Your SOP does not have to be too big. We at IITB tend to write long SOPs (1.5 to 2 pages) whereas IITM guys (who get better schools!)Usually write 0.75 page (max. 1 page). Basically, their SOPs are much more direct and to-the-point than ours. [5] REMEMBER THAT A SOP *MUST* BE ORIGINAL. Statement of Purpose I am applying to Stanford University for admission to the Ph.D. program in Computer Science. I am interested in Theoretical Computer Science, particularly in the Design and Analysis of Approximation Algorithms, Combinatory and Complexity Theory. My interest in Mathematics goes back to the time I was at school. This interest has only grown through my years in school and high school, as I have learnt more and more about the subject. Having represented India at the International Mathematical Olympiads on two occasions, I have been exposed to elements of Discrete Mathematics, particularly...

...can only expand our current knowledge and apprehension of not only the modern world, but the history behind our everyday existence. However it is also important to not completely rely on technology in case of an emergency situation that might cause technology to fail. Someone who only relies on technology may find themselves, lost, or incapable of everyday life without it. It is important to have basic survival skills incase such an event was to occur. Video games had an influence on my digital literacy. The first video game system I acquired was a Super Nintendo. I started playing video games in my free time, when I was done with school, homework, and chores. When I first got my Super Nintendo I only had a few games for it. I thought it was the best game system ever. I would invite my friends over on the weekends to play Super Mario on my Super Nintendo. After a while I got many more games for the Super Nintendo. I continued to play my Super Nintendo with friends. Then one year for Christmas my parents bought me a PlayStation One. It had better graphics than the...

...Eagle Scout Ambitions When I first found out I had to write a paper about my life ambitions and purpose, I thought of everything, then I scrambled through my mind to find the answer. This is what I believe; I have been striving for many years at. I’ll give the background first, and then elaborate. Computers, tech, and math seemed to always be my strong points. I first learned what a CIO (Chief Information Officer) was in a parking lot in front of a law firm while talking to my dad about what all the big C’s, you could say, are in business. I instantly knew that was what I wanted to be. I started out playing computer games like most kids that are growing up in the new tech era. That’s where I had to deal with problems that I faced and adapted to and eventually learned more about. My first computer was a Mac Book, a gift from my mom, which made my life easier. I had everything on it. I had friends that always had problems with computers, and that what gave me more knowledge. If didn’t know the answer to a problem, I never gave up till I got it right. Gaming as I can now see almost ruined my childhood. I didn’t get out much, which made me get overweight. However, what I can say about all those hours on the computer is that it made me type amazingly fast, and it gave me the inspiration to build my own computer in the 7th grade. It increased my vocabulary in a way, and it always made me strive to learn more. I learned Python Programming in the 7th grade and, like...

...For my interview with a Penn State faculty member, I chose to meet with Dr. Pavel Azalov. My intended major is computer science, so Dr. Azalov seemed to be the best option for myself. When I was coming up with questions to ask during the interview, I wanted to focus on my future at Penn State and what I should expect when it comes time for me to take courses related to computer science. By doing this, I hoped to gain a better understanding of the process of getting a degree in computer science. My first question I asked was to see if I was personally ready to begin taking college level computer science courses. I was not sure of the level of experience with computer programming was recommended for entry level classes in the field of study. As I would come to learn, there is no experience required for basic programming classes, and this came to me as sort of a surprise. Almost every major subject, whether it is math, writing, history, or science, usually requires some sort of background knowledge of the subject. Some people may not think of it that way, though. These...

...dances of my second year in middle school. I honestly had no idea what I was doing back then and it was a struggle just to remember my locker combination. My goal that year was simply to survive, and possibly earn a few good grades along the way. Instead, I wound up uncovering my future in computer science, discovering my talent for 3d animation, and deciding what college I want to go to. 7th grade was one of the most disorientating years of my life, but it made the rest of my life so much more coherent. I first became interested in computer science in my writing and typing course. I had chosen the class because its course description promised "learning through video games" and I have always been an eccentric video game fan. I showed up early on the first day, but was instantly disappointed when my teacher, Mrs. Kossler introduced us to Mavis Beacon Typing Tutor, the aforementioned "video game." I had already mastered my typing skills from working on my computer at home, so I did not expect to learn anything new from the class. I tried to pass the time by hiding behind my monitor and playing minesweeper, but Mrs. Kossler eventually noticed. Instead of being angry or disappointed, however, she was calm and composed. Mrs. Kossler understood why I was bored and she introduced me to what she called "a better waste of my time", a free program called Alice. Alice is the 3d programming software that sparked my interest computer science. Before, I had no idea what computer science...

...The operating system that I am using is windows 7. The service pack in my windows 7 is service pack 1. Windows 7 has many features that make it well windows 7. The first one is Windows Aero, which they tweaked just a little bit from Windows vista to windows 7. The second feature is the gadgets. Unlike windows vista, in windows 7 they do away with the sidebar and just have free floating gadgets on the side of the desktop. The third feature is the modified start menu, which was not changed much from windows vista. The fourth feature is the taskbar, which has been there for quite some time through the years. The final feature is windows explorer, which has added libraries to it. The first feature that has changed a little is windows aero. They didn’t change windows aero much but making some minor changes to the color scheme and graphics. Finally it is much smoother than what is was in windows vista. The second feature that has changed is the gadgets. They tweaked how some of the gadgets looked. Finally they also took away the side bar and made the gadgets free floating, which this makes them look more appealing to the eyes. The third feature that has changed a little is the start menu. They haven’t done much to the start menu over the years. It still helps you navigate through your programs and certain folders and features. You can do all of this without having to dive to deep into your computer. They didn’t change much of the start menu from vista to 7 other than adding some...

...Building a Computer Miakai Robinson Computer Ethics August 6, 2011 Building a Computer Table of Contents Abstract 3 Paper 4 References 9 Abstract If you've never done it before, the idea of building a computer from the ground up can seem very intimidating—but it's one of the most satisfying projects a tech enthusiast can take on. Being more of a software gal than a hardware geek myself, I was the only Life hacker editor who had never built a PC from scratch. So when I needed a new PC late last year, I took the plunge and built my custom system. I'm so glad I did—the project turned out to be one of my proudest accomplishments of 2010. If you've cracked open your PC before to install a new hard drive or TV capture card, but you've never built a whole new system from the ground up, it's not as difficult as you might think. Here are my notes for first-timers who want to build instead of buy their next computer. Why Build Instead of Buy "But computers are so cheap these days," you say. "Why waste the time and energy building your own system when you can get a great machine fully assembled and shipped to your door?" That's a great question. Building your own PC will not save you time. It might save you money, but that's not even the best reason to do it. For me, it was a fantastic hands-on educational experience. It gives me a deep sense of satisfaction every single day when I press the power button on my tower, watch it light up, and...
