It may also mean the physical components of a computer system, in the form of computer hardware. Hardware historically meant the metal parts and fittings that were used to make wooden products stronger, more functional, longer lasting and easier to fabricate or assemble. Modern hardware stores typically sell equipment such as keys, locks, hinges, latches, corners, handles, wire, chains, plumbing supplies, tools, utensils, cutlery and machine parts, especially when they are made of metal.

GNU Free Documentation License How does a computer's hardware understand it's base code in the first place? Q. So I am a computer programmer, and I'm planning on creating a mobile device by creating the hardware and building a custom circuit board for it. I haven't done too much research yet, but how does a computer's hardware understand it's base programming language in the first place? How can a computer's hardware read code and understand what it means? Asked by Aidan - Fri Sep 4 20:52:39 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's hard to explain this to someone who's had little experience with digital logic circuits. To fully understand this, you need to read up on logic gates, boolean algebra, CPU and bus architecture. I'll try to keep it simple. The base language of a computer is machine code. The part of the computer that actually "understands" and executes machine code is the CPU. Machine codes consist of numbers: opcodes and arguments. For example "254" is a x86 instruction meaning "decrease by 1". The CPU itself consists of a complex network of logic gates (basic digital devices that combine and manipulate bits of data). When the CPU reads an opcode of 254, it sees it as a binary bit-pattern: 1110. Each of those bits is sent down its own wire (bus)… [cont.] Answered by Oprah - Fri Sep 4 21:38:27 2009 What hardware do I need to convert video tapes to an editable digital format? Q. I'd like to get some old videos onto the computer before the camera that can play them conks out. What hardware do I need to connect the video out to the USB in on the computer? (I've seen products that purport to go straight from video tape to DVDs, but I'd like a chance to edit before burning DVDs.) Asked by RYS - Wed Mar 4 19:08:51 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. You need a special video capture card to convert the analog signal from your old tapes to digital. They make cards that connect to your USB but I do not recommend using them because the quality will not be very good. The transfer rate with USB is too slow to keep up with the real time capture of video unless you are captuing at a really low quality. I suggest adding a firewire port to your computer or a build in video card. Another option is to use a tape conversion service. StashSpace.Com transfers your tapes for you and has an editor so you can make customizations. You can also get your digital files back on a portable hard drive.
