Volume. On the HD models there’s a physical button—a rocker that, pushed one way pumps up the audio, and pushed the other way turns it down. On all Fires there are onscreen alternatives (The Home Screen) for performing the same task. Audio port. Stick pretty much any gadget-friendly...
Now that you are aware of your system ESU, you know you have to do something to increase it dramatically in order to prevent significant loss-of-service. A way to increase uptime is by adding redundancy, i.e., prevent having any “single point of failure” in your system. Detect all S...
Solid-statememory is an electronic device that's represented as a two-dimensional matrix of single-bit storage cells or bits. Each set of storage cells is denoted as an address, and the number of storage cells at each address represents the data depth. For example, an extremely simple memory...
The physical layer is important because it determines how physical connections to the network are set up. It also determines how the bits in a data bitstream are represented into predictable signals as they're transmitted either electrically, optically or via radio waves (Wi-Fi). Cross-layer fun...
It is finally refracted again, out of the object, making its way back to the original medium at approximately the same point where it initially entered (Figure 06). Diffuse materials are absorbent. If the refracted light travels for too long in such a material, it may be absorbed completely...
(with a bitwise OR operation) these eight bits to produce a byte—also called thecase—in the range 0–255. If the case is 0 or 255, then the cell is entirely inside or outside the terrain and, as previously described, no polygons will be generated. However, if the cas...
6 bits are used to store the IL code size in bytes (the header size is not counted) and the lower 2 bits hold the tiny header type code (0x02). If you need to calculate the size of a tiny method, you would read the Flags_CodeSize byte and then shift ...
After retrieving input parameters from the query string, it creates a bitmap depicting the requested tile and writes the image bits into the HTTP response. DrawMandelbrotTile does the pixel generation. When called, it converts the X-Y-level value identifying the image tile that was requested ...
Looking at the whole file, it seems like maybe the different functions that can be assigned hotkeys are represented here by a numeric ID, and64is the one for “show spotlight search”. The parameter values are key codes. I found a neat app calledKey Codesthat can be used to understand...
In addition, Longhorn is the first operating system designed from the ground up with security and trustworthy computing at the core. These and other features suggest that Longhorn will change the way applications are built—not something that happens every day. Since the advent of Windows, I ...
