A laptop computer has two internal signals: An unplugged signal, which is '1' if the laptop's power supply is connected, and '0'

otherwise. A low battery signal, which is '0' if the laptop's battery has reached an almost empty state, and '1' otherwise. Suppose the laptop's power control system accepts a single hibernate signal which determines if the laptop should change its current operating state and shut down. If the laptop should shut down when the battery is low and its charger is unplugged, which gate could be used to produce the hibernate signal?

Answer:

The correct usage is a NOR gate which is indicated in the explanation.

Explanation:

The truth table for the given two signals, namely

p=unplugged signal

q=low battery signal

can  form a truth table of following form

Here p has 2 states

1 if the power supply is connected

0 otherwise

Similarly q has 2 states

0 if the battery has reached almost zero state

1 otherwise

As the condition for the Hibernate Signal is given as to only activate when the battery is low and the power supply is not connected. This indicate that the value of Hibernate signal should be 1 when both p and q are 0.

Using this condition, the truth table is formed as

unplugged signal | low battery signal |  Hibernate Signal

            0               |                 0             |             1

            0               |                 1              |             0

            1                |                 0             |             0

            1                |                 1              |             0

Now the truth table of NOR is given as

a    |     b    |  a or b   |   ~(a or b)

0    |     0    |      0      |        1

0    |     1     |      1       |        0

1     |     0    |      1       |        0

1     |     1     |      1       |        0

This indicates that the both truth tables are same thus the NOR gate is to be used for this purpose.

For bad software, probably a virus/malware/ransomware kind of thing. If it is good software, probably a program that organizes your files, adjusts certain things, but do not record your files (no programs are at the top of my head, sorry).

When you're working with a word processing document and you press the del key, what happens?
Svetach [21]

The <DEL> or <Delete> key makes the first character AFTER the cursor
disappear, and everything after it then moves back one space to close up
the hole.

Example: 

If I have this in my document ...                          Most trees are green.

And my cursor is after the 'a', like this:                Most trees a|re green.

Now, if I hit the <delete> key, it deletes the
'r' after the cursor, and the hole closes up,
and the cursor stays where it is:                          Most trees a|e green.

What single awk command can be used to display all the login names and their associated numerical user IDs
Luden [163]

Answer:

Used the command syntax; awk -F":" '{ print "username: " $<number location> "\t\tuid:" $<number location> }' <target folder>

Explanation:

Linux operating system is a fast open-source computer platform for programmers and network administrators. Its system is arranged in a hierarchical tree structure with the root represented as "/" (for absolute path).

The passwd is a folder in the Linux OS that holds the login details of all users in the system network. The 'awk' is one of the commands used to get information from a file in a folder. It prints out the result by specifying the location of the values (like the username and user id) as a variable (with prefix '$') and then the target folder.
