The basic organization is often called von neumann machine/architecture. Flops is a measurement of computer power. The time required by the cpu to access data stored in ram is measured in nanoseconds. A standard sized book takes about . 5mb of storage. No physical components will be found above the 4th level in the computer inferno. Computers represent information in binary because they only register presence and absence. Panda is based on the presence or absence of a phenomenon. The values are said to be discrete because they are whole numbers. Discrete: whole numbers, continuous: decimals, analog: sine wave. Binary represents a maximum of 2^x different characters. A single hex digit is represented by 4 bits. A program is an algorithm expressed as statements in a programming language. Ip addresses are called octets because they each are represented by 8 bits (64 bits=1 byte) One way servers remember you is your isp maintains a connection between you and the server.
