I read somewhere (article, messageboard, i can't find it anymore) that motherboard bus speeds are limited because if the frequency gets too high then the signal will disappear. I guess I understood it to mean that the bus wire will become like and antenna if the frequency is too high. They...

Thanks MFB - I've been reading about that and Bohmian Mechanics. It is a very good explanation that -in my mind- fits better than some of the *mysterious* parts of Quantum Mechanics. Hopefully, some of these theories will be proven or disproven through future testing.

I was reading about the double slit experiment, and had an idea. Can anyone tell me if there is a test which negates this idea - or if someone has proposed/proven it. Say the photon goes through one slit, but a super small amount of energy (currently not possible to recognize as being...

Hello, I am curious about compiled. executable computer programs. That can be in any format, EXE, ELF, etc. I am not referring to IL code or Bytecode, but files that are considered to be in "Native" code or "Binaries". Are executable files in a format intended for use by the OS or by the...

I've seen other posts about this, but would appreciate an explanation if anyone knows. I've read that traveling faster than the speed of light could affect causality. Example: item I traveling in a tube could be seen arriving at end B before it ever left end A. A=======I=B Is this an...

How does a CPU send information to memory locations - physically? I know in software you can reference memory locations. I'd like to know how a CPU references them? I understand that it symbolizes a memory location using bits (00000101 = 5) but - how does that string of bits work in the...

Yes... clear so far... thanks

True, it is nearly limitless on things to check for to get an accurate word count.

Please help! Also, please correct any misunderstandings which I have. I have read about electricity basics and what happens on the atomic level until I have read ideas which compete with each other. 1 - I've read that the word electricity applies to particles with a negative charge (more...

In Pseudo code: 1 - Create int for number of ****characters**** 2 - Create int for number of ****words**** 1 - Read the File 2 - Process the File character by character in a loop until EOF is reached 3 - Increase counter for ****characters**** with every character read 4 - Compare...

I apologize for my very basic question, but I cannot find a straight forward answer anywhere. I want to know "Physically, what are volts". I understand that amps are a count of electrons passing a point in one second. I know the formula for Ohm's law, but that still doesn't answer the question...
