...hi Table 3.3 lists the primary specifications for the Intel family of processors used in IBM and compatible PCs. Table 3.4 lists the Intel-compatible processors from AMD, Cyrix, NexGen, IDT, and Rise. NOTE Note in Table 3.3 that the Pentium Pro processor includes 256KB, 512KB, or 1MB of full-core speed L2 cache in a separate die within the chip. The Pentium II/III processors include 512KB of 1/2 core speed L2 cache on the processor card. The Celeron, Pentium II PE, and Pentium IIIE processors include full-core speed L2 cache integrated directly within the processor die. The Celeron III uses the same die as the Pentium IIIE, however half of the on-die cache is disabled, leaving 128KB functional. The transistor count figures do not include the external (off-die) 256KB, 512KB, 1MB, or 2MB L2 cache built in to the Pentium Pro, Pentium II/III, Xeon, or AMD Athlon CPU packages. The external L2 cache in those processors contains an additional 15.5 (256KB), 31 (512KB), 62 million (1MB), or 124 million (2MB) transistors in separate chips! Note in Table 3.4 that the Athlon includes either 512KB of L2 cache via separate chips, running at either one-half, two-fifths, or one-third the core speed, or 256KB of on-die L2 running at full-core speed, depending on which version you have. Processor Speed Ratings A common misunderstanding about processors is their different speed ratings. This section covers processor speed in general, and then provides more specific information about Intel...

...Many consumers and social advocates believe that businesses should not only make a profit but also consider the social implications of their activities. We define social responsibility as a business’s obligation to maximize its positive impact and minimize its negative impact on society. Although many people use the terms social responsibility and ethics interchangeably, they do not mean the same thing. Business ethics relates to an individual’s or a work group’s decisions that society evaluates as right or wrong, whereas social responsibility is a broader concept that concerns the impact of the entire business’s activities on society. From an ethical perspective, for ex- ample, we may be concerned about a health care organization or practitioner over- charging the provincial government for medical services. From a social responsibility perspective, we might be concerned about the impact that this overcharging will have on the ability of the health care system to provide adequate services for all citizens. The most basic ethical and social responsibility concerns have been codified as laws and regulations that encourage businesses to conform to society’s standards, values, and attitudes. At a minimum, managers are expected to obey these laws and regula- tions. Most legal issues arise as choices that society deems unethical, irresponsible, or otherwise unacceptable. However, all actions deemed unethical by society are not nec- essarily illegal, and both legal and ethical concerns...

...People who Changed the World in Politics: Mahatma Gandhi - This guy is at the top of my list. He popularized the non-violent movement. He stopped eating "sugar" only so he could tell a child to give up sugar. He sure lives by the phrase, "be the change you wish to see". Queen Elizabeth I - Queen of one of the most successful monarchs, who defeated the Spanish Armada which laid the foundation for the British Empire. She probably did more to change the perception of what women can do than anyone else on the planet. Augustus Caesar - This guy took the the first "Democratic Republic", the Roman Empire, to the big time (it was already big, partly thanks to his great uncle Julius). However, his focus was building "internal" strength which allowed technologies such as roads and agriculture to flourish. Technologies we still use today. George Washington - First president of the United States, but who knew at the time what kind of country they were building. It went from a fragile country to the "800 pound gorilla" in 200 short years. Nelson Mandela - He was a prisoner in South Africa and became the first black president in South Africa. Who would've thought a person sent wrongfully to prison could be a president. He's one of the most oppressed people who changed the world. Abraham Lincoln - A president who fought to give the country heart. One of the most influential people that helped abolished slavery. Winston Churchill - Outgunned, out manned he persevered against the Nazi...

...Written Assignment 2: case study – World’s Richest People frequency distribution table (citizenship) The first column consists of quantitative, discrete data. This column provides the ranks of the world's richest people. The second column consists of qualitative data since names are nonnumerical. The third column also consists of qualitative data as countries are nonnumerical. The first column consists of quantitative, discrete data. This column provides the total numbers of the richest people per country. stem and leaf plot (age) Each data value consists of 2 digit number ranging age from 39 to 93. The last digit becomes the leaf and the remaining digits are the stems, and we have the stems of 3 to 9. histogram (age) Obtain the frequency distribution of the age data. Column 1 is the limit grouping ages. The first age to construct is 35 – 39. The width of all the age is 5, so the next age is 40 – 44. The last age to construct is 90 – 94 since the largest single data value is 93. Column 2 provides number of the richest people within the age group; this column is quantitative, discrete data. The frequency histogram is constructed using the lower age limits of column 1 and used to label the horizontal axis, and the number of the richest people within the age group in the frequency histogram matches the respective frequency in column 2. The shape of the distribution is bimodal, 1st peak point at age 55-59 and the 2nd peak point at 65 – 69. sample mean and median...

...working or whether we’re relaxing, we have a great time together.” Did they split? So far, nobody seems to know for sure if Matt and Caryn split, but it sounds that way. He is no longer following her on Instagram and there isn't really any other reason that she would quit working at the farm. Some of the kids are still following her, but they may have just not taken the time to unfollow yet. It could also depend on if the split was a good one if they ever unfollow her. The last time they were seen together was in March. That was two months ago, so it is very possible that there was trouble in paradise and they aren't together now. Matt did move away from the farm, but it was never confirmed that Caryn was living with him even though some people assumed it. They have been together for about a...

...the Internet bring people of the world closer together? In today’s World, technology is a very vital entity in the running of our daily life. One of the greatest inventions of the 20th century is the internet. The internet is a world-wide system of computer networks connected together by an internet protocol linking many devices enhancing communication. However, will the internet bring people closer together? The statement has two points of view. Some will agree to it while others will differ. The internet has improved communications through the social media services. This includes Face book, Twitter and Skype. They help in keeping people in touch with their loved ones no matter the country they are in. They also help in finding and making of new friends around the globe. People are able to send pictures and share cultures, hence enabling them to come closer. Furthermore, the internet has led to the development of a global market. The global market helps various investors and business people to be brought closer through advertisements done mostly through the internet. Communication is also done through emails. Today meetings are also being held through Skype. This role of the internet in the global market has brought people from different cultures together. The internet can also spread hatred among people. This has been mainly contributed by social media. In many African countries today, tribalism has been on the rise mainly due to the social media. People use it to spread...

...Free College You see all these successful people in the world, but do you know what they went through to get to where they are now? Imagine all the bright minds in the world that could help change the world. Most of those people with those minds are to poor or cant get an opportunity just to learn. Students with temporary living conditions and good grades should get to attend college for free. Last October, just 65.9 percent of people who had graduated from high school the previous spring had enrolled in college, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said this week. But what about the kids who didn't even get a chance to go to high school. Kids in third world countries don't even go to school. I think people in america take almost everything for granite. Kids now days think its a chore to get up and go to school five days a week. We all think that homework is the worst thing that could happen to you in a day. But kids in other countries worry about when there going to get there next piece of bread for the day or when there going to get their next sip of clean water....

...There is just one hour, twelve minutes, and forty eight… forty seven… forty six seconds before the clock strikes 17h00 to halt a hardworking day. You are eager to escape the god-forsaken torturous nightmare yet only to come home and slump yourself into your sluggish fat-building sofa fixating your sight to a mind-numbing 40inch television box. The typical view of “Living The Life” includes owning the state-of-the-art physical interaction slayer, residing in a gargantuan estate along with other silver spooned neighbours and being chauffeured around because exerting pressure on a peddle is a far too strenuous task to be performed. Therefore, the masses blinded and brainwashed by this illusion endure the pains of slogging till their bones crumble striving to earn their artificial bliss. Hence the word “Existing”, one that is doomed, despondent and an inanimate lump of matter that’s main aim is to be a mundane run of the mill in order to maintain the status quo. Trapped and controlled by their fears they become yet another statistic and drift aimlessly past the phenomenon of life as they run on autopilot. The dreadful routine of dragging yourself out of bed only because your metabolic processes force you too simply contribute to your mere existence. Your bucket list aspiringly scribed when you were 12 becomes nothing more than a haunting reminder of your bleak and dismal reality. This is a purely vile plague presenting the future with an outbreak of monotony. Yet, on...

...If people would take responsibility for their actions this world would be so much better. Almost everyday people including me will not take responsibility for the things that they do. I use to push things off on people all the time no matter what I did. Whether it was lying, respecting my mom, or getting myself into something I had no business being in. When I became more mature the things started to fade away but they played a major role in my life when I was younger. I use to lie almost every day, not matter who I was talking too. Just because I was scared to take on any punishment that was coming my way for my wrong doings. I would do things like steal money, hit someone, and even set traps up around the house to hurt someone. I would always lie about me being the one for all of the wrong doing. I had a sister and brother so they would be the ones that I push off all of my problems on....

...Smoking can be dangerous not only for the smoker, but also for those around the smoker. Secondhand smoke is the third leading cause of preventable death (after active smoking and alcohol), according to the Manitoba Medical Association. They also say that the smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, 50 of which are known to be cancer-related. Secondhand smoke has been linked to heart and respiratory disease; lung, breast, cervical, and nasal sinus cancers; strokes and miscarriages. In children, dangers include sudden infant death syndrome, fetal growth impairment, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma and middle-ear disease. People who smoke subject themselves to deadly diseases, as well as long- and short-term health problems. Non-smokers should not have to live with the consequences of smokers' actions. http://www.publishyourarticles.net/knowledge-hub/essay/an-essay-on-should-smoking-be-banned-in-public-places.html Many surveys, studies and scientific research has proved that smoking is injurious to health. Smoke is unhealthy and suffocating. It pollutes the environment. There are two types of smokers - active and passive.

...Learning multiple languages helps an individual when living in a multi-cultural society. Communication is made easier if the language is a local language. Picking up a new skill is relatively easy for children as they have high grasping power. Hence, learning a foreign language offers an insight into how people from other cultures think and see the world. Firstly, in these highly competitive days, people are expected to move around places and it’s not likely that the local language is the same as the mother tongue of an individual. So it’s quite challenging to understand the local culture and customs for a new individual. This is where famous languages acquired during school days plays a big role. Secondly, it helps a child growth if he/she is introduced with the various culture of the world. Learning a language is the first step to know one’s culture. Thirdly, schools these days are focusing a lot on learning international languages in a lot of developed countries. This practice is quickly picking up in the developing countries too. This trend paves a path for the student to go out on foreign exchange programs to other countries. Gives them great opportunity to have an exposure to unique cultures whilst in student life. Sometimes, children might get carried away with foreign languages and start to look down on their own mother tongues. Hence some language veterans argue that foreign languages should be taught in school only at a age when they are mature enough to...
