Computer software - operations

How does the computer software operate? The computer software is loaded into the computer’s memory. When the computer software has loaded the computer is ready to execute the program. The computer program is executed and the computer is in operation. The hardware gets the information as the machine code. As the computer receives the instruction the computer carries out an operation. The data moves from one place in the memory to another. The way the computer software operates is when a user selects an entry form the menu. A conditional instruction is given to copy text from data in a document area in the memory and the perhaps to an intermediate storage area.

Computer software to safeguard French

Software to translate foreign words into English as and when Britons or Americans are spoken to abroad has been envisioned by Bill Gates as a sharing tool for the future. Officials in France have brought his dream one step closer to reality, by creating a computer program that automatically replaces Anglo-Saxon terms into their native tongue. But unlike the philanthropic Mr Gates, the French government hopes its software will serve not as an enabler - but as a barrier, to stop English spreading further into its prized parlance. Details of the program, obtained by a national newspaper, reveal it will be installed on all French ministry word processors for civil servants to use by the end of the year. The Terminology Corrector � Le Correctuer Terminologique - will activate when, for example, the word �e-mail� is typed by popping-up the official French alternative �courriel.

Why it's best to bypass a computer's sound card

Stripped of its glossy exterior, the iPod is just a dumb little computer.

People get a lot of mileage out of it while often neglecting the iPod's sugar daddy, the PC or laptop. That's home to the library of songs that feeds the iPod and, maybe, a tiny pair of computer speakers.

But it can do much more. Anyone with a home theater or a two-channel sound system can turn the computer into a music server that puts an entire CD collection onto a massive hard drive, easily accessible, with album artwork and even lyrics. Done properly, the sound is astounding -- even better that conventional CD playback equipment costing thousands more than your computer.

"Now, instead of the dispatcher having several computer windows open and entering data, the new software will be doing much of that work in the background. "The previous software was purchased in 2002, but it was in need of several major updates to keep up with the city's growth.
