Yoni | [quote author=Fr0z3N link=board=2;threadid=4455;start=0#msg37171 date=1072455849] Computer: What does "IDE" stand for?=integrated development environment [/quote] Given among hardware questions (USB, CMOS, RAM), I would tend to answer "Integrated Device Electronics", the drive interface. "Integrated Development Environment" is software related. [quote author=St0rm.iD link=board=2;threadid=4455;start=0#msg37187 date=1072471108] CMOS is wrong I think...but I don't remember what it means. Something something something system? [/quote] Actually, CMOS does stand for that. It's the reason I could never remember what it stands for (when asked, I would answer "ask the chemistry majors" :)). You're thinking of BIOS - Basic Input/Output System. Edit: You seem to give the Simpsons questions the misleading title "TV". Allow me to fix this: TV: In what South Park episode does the following newspaper headline appear: [quote]Afghanistan! Tajikastan! Pakistan! ...damn those "Stans"![/quote] | December 28, 2003, 6:39 PM |
