that is too funny. Did you really just think people would explain everything, lol. I will be first to admit i can't remember ever detail of everything, so i've been working on memory managment. Listen if your a techie you have a new god, he calls himself <b>Google.</b> and hes damn proud.

I'm an apostate!
My god is O'Reilly and his prophet is Amazon ;)
Though I must admit I sometimes sin and worship the others whom Amazon also preaches.

Joke?

OK.

- There are little tiny men inside the computer who pick up the numbers and carry them around.

- Some of those tiny men know how to do 1-bit math.

- When the little men get hungry, they go to the power supply to eat.

- How does Windows work? In my opinion, it doesn't. It just messes everything up.

- If your hard disk crashes, all the little men fall down and get hurt.

:D

too cute, lol. lol heres how math applys, lol you know how memory applys it self in 32, 64, 128, 256 etc.. well its because memory carrys in powers of 2 sarting at 2 to the power of 2 all the way to 1024 and beyond!

Actually, computers do not work. Work = force X distance. The computer neither applies force nor moves (unless you drop it, and it does some work on your toe).

Re: how computer work
 
hehe, yes. The power's of two travel in 8 bits to a byte, in a bus. lol. Google up more on it if you really need help. Im not a computer science professional, but i got some of the basic's down. Lets count Base 2!
