A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a set of instructions.

Although mechanical examples of computers have existed through much of recorded human history, the first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century (1940–1945). These were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs). Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space. Simple computers are small enough to fit into a wristwatch, and can be powered by a watch battery. Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information Age and are what most people think of as "computers". The embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are however the most numerous.

The ability to store and execute lists of instructions called programs makes computers extremely versatile, distinguishing them from calculators. The Church–Turing thesis is a mathematical statement of this versatility: any computer with a certain minimum capability is, in principle, capable of performing the same tasks that any other computer can perform. Therefore computers ranging from a mobile phone to a supercomputer are all able to perform the same computational tasks, given enough time and storage capacity.

How would I go about connecting two computers in order to share workload?
Q. I only have one processor slot on my motherboard, but I have another computer that is basically stripped of everything useful (DVD drives, ram, etc, etc). All that is left is the hard drive, motherboard and processor, power and the fans. I want to use this computer to share workload with my main desktop. I know I can't connect the motherboards or processors (Pentium 4s), but I know it is possible to connect the computers somehow.

A. Unfortunately what you've got is not going to work. You can either cluster two whole computers together or you can use specific hardware (motherboards with multiple CPU slots etc). Unfortunately you can't just bolt bits of your old computer together.

How do I prevent other computers from using my internet connection?
Q. Recently I have noticed a man going outside near my house to use his laptop. I think he's connecting with a local internet connection whenever I'm using the internet on my computer, how can I prevent other laptops or computers from accessing my internet?

A. ok Assuming that you know how to put a password then just do it but if you don't well just go to run then type cmd it should take you to a black dialog box then just type in ipconfig then is should give you a Default Gateway it should be something along the lines of 192.168.1.1 but some time not exactly well just type that number in you internet browser and then just find something likesecurityy then just have wep code for a more simple way and there you go but since i am a funny guy just turn on the sprinklers while his on the front lawn he wont come back

How to remotely change the computer name on many Windows XP computers?
Q. I am about to join 1600 computers to my Active Directory domain. Their current names contain underscores, which violates the corporate naming policy. I have to change their names before I join them. These are remote machines, so I will probably use some sort of script. Before anyone suggests netdom, it only works on domain members.

A computer is a machine for manipulating data according to a list of instructions. Computers take many forms, from early room-sized complexes to modern personal computers (PCs) and personal digital assistants (PDAs) to tiny embedded systems that add sophisticated capabilities to other devices like toys and appliances.
