What is intelligence? Are computers intelligent?
No computers are not intelligent. you may ask why... first I asked what is intelligence. Intelligence is the capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc. computers do not have the capacity to learn, understand, reason, and they cant have mental activity, or grasp truths. the final conclusion is computers are not intelligent.
List as many computer communication mechanisms you can
Facebook social networking site, Skype social networking site, Cell phone cell service, My space social networking site, Gmail social networking site, iPad, itouch, iphone,
Why do we count to ten
Because it would be to hard to have tons of different numbers to memorize instead of using nine different characters. We have ten fingers
Operating system's
What is the purpose of an operating system? runs on computers and manages the computer hardware and provides common services for efficient execution of various application software.
What is the unix operating system? Unix operating systems are widely used in both servers and workstations. The Unix environment and the client-server program model were essential elements in the development of the internet and the reshaping of computing as centered in networks rather than in individual computers.
Which os's are based on unix? Apple's mac

Minimal spanning trees
5 facts: if all the edge weights of a given graph are the same, then every spanning tree of that graph is minimum.If there are n vertices in the graph, then each tree has n-1 edges. If the weights are non-negative, then a minimum spanning tree is in fact the minimum-cost. Their is a formula for it and it has math in it.

Python
Who created Python?
Python was developed by Guido van Rossum, and released in February 1991 while he was working for CWI also known as Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Programming languages
C#, it explicitly aimed to make the virtual machine open to other languages
why python is good to use.
The former helped create the language by building a version of Perl that is easier to read and not as chock-full of opening and closing brackets as a C descendant.
coordinate plane
It has two axes and four quadrants. The two number lines form the axes. The horizontal number line is called the x-axis and the vertical number line is called the y-axis. The center of the coordinate plane is called the origin. It has the coordinates of (0,0).
The adjective Cartesian refers to the French mathematician and philosopher René Descartes (who used the name Cartesius in Latin).

Sir Ken Robinson
sir Ken Robinson, PhD is an internationally recognized leader in the development of creativity, innovation and human resources. He has worked with governments in Europe, Asia and the USA, with international agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and some of the world’s leading cultural organizations. In 1998, he led a national commission on creativity, education and the economy for the UK Government. ‘All Our Futures: Creativity, Culture and Education’ (The Robinson Report) was published to wide acclaim in 1999. He was the central figure in developing a strategy for creative and economic development as part of the Peace Process in Northern Ireland, working with the ministers for training, education enterprise and culture. He was one of four international advisors to the Singapore Government for its strategy to become the creative hub of South East Asia. For twelve years, he was Professor of Education at the University of Warwick in the UK and is now Professor Emeritus. He has received honorary degrees from the Open University and the Central School of Speech and Drama; Birmingham City University, Rhode Island School of Design, Ringling College of Art and Design and the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. He has been honored with the Athena Award of the Rhode Island School of Design for services to the arts and education; the Peabody Medal for contributions to the arts and culture in the United States, and the Benjamin Franklin Medal of the Royal Society of Arts for outstanding contributions to cultural relations between the United Kingdom and the United States. In 2005 he was named as one of Time/Fortune/CNN’s Principal Voices. In 2003, he received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II for his services to the arts. He speaks to audiences throughout the world on the creative challenges facing business and education in the new global economies. His new book, a New York Times Best Seller, ‘The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything’ (Penguin/Viking 2009) is being translated into sixteen languages. Sir Ken was born in Liverpool, England as one of seven children. He is married to Therese (Lady) Robinson. They have two children, James and Kate, and live in Los Angeles, California.
The Presidents idea for the future
the president wants to hire lots of teachers over the next few years. he also wants our internet to be faster.
Iphone attack
it is a idea that should be destroyed.
Intel's crap
this "great" breakthrough that intel has come up with is crap if they ever get it to a good usable point it will use way to much electricity for any mobile device to handle. if they remove the stuff like the ability to tell temp and test air quality the
chapter 13
we have been using procedural programming with all of the programming we have been doing this all year so far. with procedural programming the focus is on writing functions which
operate on data. In object-oriented programming the focus is on the creation of objects which contain both data and functionality together.
so lets look at an instance and see what the _init_ integer does for it.
class Point:
def __init__(self, x=0, y=0):
self.x = x
self.y = y
def distance_from_origin(self):
return ((self.x ** 2) + (self.y ** 2) ** 0.5)
the _init_ integer makes the program know where to go... so if the _init_ integer was not there then the program would not know where to place the object that it is messing with.

BLIT
A computer display is seen by the computer processor as a chunk of memory arranged in rectangular columns and rows. A blit
will take an arbitrary rectangular lump of memory, defined by a source
rectangle and copy it to another place defined by a destination
rectangle.
Algorthim
so what is the concept of a Algorithm? the concept of an algorithm is complicated in a extreme way. you are probably still wondering what is the concept of an algorithm? the concept of an algorithm is it is a method... it is a very effective method the method includes instructions these are not just your ordinary instructions these are very detailed instructions.
In my second paragraph I am going to talk... or i guess type since i am doing this on a computer... so i am going to type about a algorthim it is basically a good calculation of a function used for calculating data.
