| 734550 | 2009-01-03 00:36:00 | Does the subwoofer count as a speaker in 5.1 systems? IF the marketing is to believed, the subwoofer isn't a speaker (always marketed as 5 speakers plus a sub) | Greven (91) | ||
| 734551 | 2009-01-03 01:29:00 | I downloaded the MCP testing program Demo just for the hell of it --- :p Hmm. I did MCP in 1999. It consisted of A Networking exam - mainly cabling orientated. Then NT Server, then NT Workstation. It did not have any MS Office stuff in it at all. But then they have changed the exam/qual process a lot since then. But my Polytech MS Office assignment was harder than that. We had to use Word, Excel, Access to create a front end for a "user" to enter data for the "sales guys to work out their best route round various cities, and return" and which products would be taken to which companies etc etc a dn have it all so the User couldn't access or later or even see the clacs and compay/product data at all. Harder than it sounds, it was the one and only thing we got marked on for that whole paper. Took me 3 weeks., 1) Common photo file format 2) Methods to fit current film formats on Standard TVs 3) Connect to the interent and other wireless networks 4) USB is what is intended although they should have specified Peripherals in that case 5) A common type of file format to prevent editing (although that depends on your version of pdf software) 6) Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo 7) 1000 GB 8) 5 plus the subwoofer 9) https - secured through encryption 10) Finland 11) A PDA 12) Social networking 13) Google 14) Next gen DVD, allows storage of HD 15) Video between TV and other devices 16) Handheld consoles 17) It's the thinnest laptop 18) LCD These are the answers given, not exactly how I would have answered. Comments in quotes are mine. __________________ |

| 734552 | 2009-01-03 01:41:00 | shouldn't 1TB be 1024GB and not 1000Gb. Although I guess it depends how it is advertised | plod (107) | ||

| 734554 | 2009-01-03 03:56:00 | shouldn't 1TB be 1024GB and not 1000Gb. Although I guess it depends how it is advertised This was a newspaper quiz. They probably don't know themselves. 1 terabyte = 1 099 511 627 776 bytes to be specific. But the average user would say 1000GB. So do I usually when customers ask about hard drives - Sticking to the basics without smartypants tech exact details.......... Young guy next door (him of the goose shooting) got 16 right. With an allowance for near enough answers on PDFs and https. |

| 734555 | 2009-01-03 04:47:00 | shouldn't 1TB be 1024GB and not 1000GB That's why there are TiB and TB notations to differentiate between those two. |

| 734556 | 2009-01-03 05:00:00 | That's why there are TiB and TB notations to differentiate between those two. But drive manufacturers use 1 terabyte is 1000 of their small gigabytes, so any other terms to describe the small gigabyte & terabyte will not be used. It just gets far too confusing for customers, and annoying for techs who deviate from the accepted practice. |
