In computer science, Boolean types are often used to represent the truth values of logic, following the algorithmic insights of mathematician Alan Turing. Boolean logic, which employs the conjunction, disjunction and negation connectives familiar to programmers today, was actually developed many years before electronic computers hit the market. George Boole, the namesake of Boolean logic, discovered a way to express logical problems in a symbolic formula, thereby taking the study of logic out of philosophy and into the realm of mathematics. Those symbolic formulas, as expressed using Boolean connectives, would prove to be extremely useful for manipulating binary digits, or…

Under normal operating conditions, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program Cyberduck connects to an FTP server and synchronizes file listings in a very short amount of time. Users connecting over a wireless connection may notice a considerable delay during the sync process, and Cyberduck may fail to sync altogether in some situations.
Anyone who has ever listened to an AM or FM radio station has used wave modulation technologies: devices that transmit data by changing the characteristics of carrier waves. The more fine-grained the changes, the more data a carrier wave can transmit. The theory behind I/Q modulation produces finely tuned phase changes for storing lots of data in a wave by simulating the phase-shifted wave with two amplitude-shifted waves.
Protocols establish the rules and methods for transmitting data over the Internet. The Compression Control Protocol (CCP) is a component of PPP, the Point-to-Point Protocol, a collection of different protocols for sending datagrams -- packages of data -- over point-to-point links. CCP defines how to establish and configure data-compression algorithms for PPP data transfers.
COBOL, the Common Business-Oriented Language, has been a mainstay of commercial software programmers since its origins in 1959. Though COBOL more easily handles standard numeric and text data formats, you can also use it to display hexadecimal values. Hexadecimal numbers, or hex, are a base-16 format used to represent all data inside a computer. Hex is handy for debugging programs; using it, you can identify the exact contents of computer memory.
The Scribd website lets users upload and share documents in formats that will be viewable and printable on users' individual computers, taking into account differences in machines, software and printers.

API for Sebring, more commonly listed as "Sebring API," comes as standard in many Thinkpad brand notebooks. The API related to wireless networking, though is not necessarily needed for the machine to pick up Wi-Fi. Unless you look at your listed program files or running processes, you may not even notice that your Thinkpad runs API for Sebring.
Enterprise computing systems have a need for data integrity that tends to be greater than a home PC due to the fact that many enterprise systems store mission-critical data on the system drives. To keep the data from being lost the systems often employ a RAID array for storage, using multiple hot swappable drives to create a single storage solution. For these systems, a backplane-ready drive is required for use, whereas a home system employs a simple SATS drive. The differences between the drive types are small, but they are important to know before you begin the drive installation.

Systems Applications and Products in Data Processing software programs -- SAP for short -- accept input from numerous sources. Although input often comes from data stores in other SAP systems, input can also come from external or non-SAP sources, especially common when transferring large amounts of data during SAP setup and installation. Regardless of the source, transferring and getting it into your SAP database involves batch input, a process that allows you to transfer large amounts of data safely and quickly.
Hewlett-Packard developed the Printer Command Language, or PCL, for its ink-jet printers in the 1980s. It became widespread with the introduction of PCL3 for the company's popular LaserJet printer. PCL5 is the last version to be based on the traditional code that the computer driver sends to the printer to give it the instructions on how to print the page. PCL6, also known as PCL-XL, is a more powerful driver that operates completely differently, while retaining the PCL name.
Even the highest-quality VHS tape recordings degrade over time. Preserve your irreplaceable VHS home movies by transferring them to a more stable medium: DVD. You can purchase an all-in-one VHS-to-DVD player/recorder for this purpose. But if you have a PC with a DVD burner and VCR with S-Video or Composite audio-video outputs, all you need is a VHS-to-DVD converter to go in between them. VHS-to-DVD converters are reasonably priced and come with conversion software. To complete your task, use a software video editor. Some cost money, and over a dozen free ones are available to download on the Internet.
DVRs allow you to watch recorded television shows and movies at your convenience, but you can make your DVR even more useful by recording and/or streaming the content onto your computer. The exact process varies depending on your brand of computer and the DVR model. Note that some computers and recorders are incompatible -- DirecTV's DIRECTV2PC doesn't work for streaming to an Apple computer, for instance -- and transferring your DVR's content to a computer for viewing doesn't mean you can necessarily store it there.
When starting fresh with a new computer, some email clients make the switch simple. Microsoft's Exchange Server and Gmail, for example, archive material in online mailboxes so that your new computer can access old emails as soon as you sync the computer with the account. If you use Thunderbird, Windows Live or Outlook, it takes a little more work to set up the transfer, but it's still possible to carry over any emails you want to keep around.
The average smartphone user in 2011 used 435 megabytes of data a month, while the top 1 percent used more than 4.6 gigabytes, according to the Nielsen Company. If your plan isn't adequate for your data use, you pay extra for exceeding the cap; if you buy a bigger plan than you need, you're wasting money. Whether you're on Android, iPhone, Windows Phone or BlackBerry, knowing your rate of data use is essential to choosing the right plan and budgeting your data use.

In computing, the term I/O is short for "Input/Output," which refers to the transfer of data either to or from a computer application. A keyboard acts as an input device, transferring whatever you type into the computer, while a monitor or printer would be an example of an output device, since they present the transferred data to the user. Blocking I/O plays a key role in the entire process, helping manage the flow of input and output data.
The Sunfire saw the light of day in 1990 as an ultra-modern concept car by Pontiac. That concept included high-tech features such as carbon fiber body, heads-up display, voice-activated cellular phone and a 190-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Unfortunately, that Sunfire never saw production. In 1995, GM redesigned the platform the Cavalier and Sunbird sat atop and replaced the Sunbird with a slightly less high-tech version of the Sunfire. The 2005 Sunfire’s audio system has an anti-theft system that learns a portion of the vehicle identification number so it will not work in any other vehicle without in-depth programming, which requires…
