To someone who knows something about computers?

Question

Explain what these are:

synchronize
DVD-RAM
Run
Commant Prompt

Answer 1

Synchronization (or Sync) is a problem in timekeeping which requires the coordination of events to operate a system in unison. The familiar conductor of an orchestra serves to keep the orchestra in time. Systems operating with all their parts in synchrony are said to be synchronous or in sync. Some systems may be only approximately synchronized, or plesiochronous. For some applications relative offsets between events need to be determined, for others only the order of the event is important.

DVD-RAM (DVD–Random Access Memory) is a disc specification presented in 1996 by the DVD Forum, which specifies rewritable DVD-RAM media and the appropriate DVD writers. DVD-RAM media have been used in computers as well as camcorders and personal video recorders since 1998.

Execution in computer and software engineering is the process by which a computer or virtual computer carries out the instructions of a computer program. The term run is used almost synonymously.

Answer 2

1. Update another piece of hardware with another so they contain the same data.

2. I think you're thinking of DVD-ROM, which is just a blank DVD.

3. Run is the entry that should be in the start menu that allows you to start system applications like the command prompt and registry editor.

4. A prompt you open with run that allows you to make batch files or put in commands (clearly, haha) that can do different things wit h the system depending on what you use it for.

Answer 3

Synchronize: To make sure files between your computer and a connected device (PDA, iPod, etc) are the same.

DVD-RAM: A DVD format wherein DVD-RAM discs can be recorded and erased repeatedly but are only compatible with devices manufactured by the companies that support the DVD-RAM format. DVD-RAM discs are typically housed in cartridges.

Run: To run or start or launch a program. It can also mean the Run window, accessed using WinKey+R

Command Prompt: A DOS-like window using text-based commands. Can be accessed in: Start->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt. (On Windows XP)

HTH
