why is it prefered and where do its applications come?

FPGA\n(Field Programmable Gate Array) A type of gate array that is programmed in the field rather than in a semiconductor fab. Containing up to hundreds of thousands of gates, there are a variety of FPGA architectures on the market. Some are very sophisticated, including not only programmable logic blocks, but programmable interconnects and switches between the blocks. The interconnects take up a lot of FPGA real estate, resulting in a chip with very low gate density compared to other technologies.\n\nThe vast majority of FPGAs are SRAM-based, although there are some flash and antifuse versions. The antifuse variety are of interest to aerospace designers because they are more radiation hardened (rad hard). See PLD and adaptive computing.\n\n\n=)

It and other Modern programs like it are like that.  And my experience was it would take me over a week to download one things on these newest types of these programs >.<\n\nTherefore,.. I avoid it,..  I suggest you hope there is a video version of it you can listen to instead on http://www.youtube.com  but that might not be convient for what requirements you are trying to fill.

if we categories software generally then we will get only two types\n\n1. Application software\n2. System Softwares\n\nnow application software has two types\n\n1.Custom made\n2.In build

What sort of question is this? Firefox2 is better in every possible aspect!!\n\nIt is like trying to compare a Ferrari to a Lada..

There are many file sharing (P2P) clients out there, however people use the ones they like more. I personally use LimeWire PRO because i find it more user-friendly and faster. \n\nAnother reason why i use it is because when you go to DOWNLOAD.COM you will see that LimeWire has the most number of downloads out of all the file sharing clients. That means, more people use it, and when more people use, the more your chances to get what you want when you search for something with it.

There are plenty of OS's out there. Linux is just the most popular besides windows. For the average user though, there is no use in going outside linux/OsX/Windows.

many people hate the mainstream and have thousands of reasons for why some alternative is better. Linux has its place as a utility, but it still doesn't have the ease of use and broad vendor support for the average person to use it as a desktop.   If you want to play the latest games, you have to run a windows OS.  If you want to be able to just grab a printer or digital camera etc you see and know it'll work, you need a windows OS.  \n\nNo matter how much 'better' the alternative software is, for the most part vendors have to support the most people for the least money.  If you have the technical skills, a lot of free time, and don't mind the frustration,  run linux.   If you want easy, or you need a system for your grandmother etc,  stick with the mainstream.\n\nAnd what do you mean 'remember'.  I still use DOS :)

I guess that it is a personal preference thing at the end of it all.\n\nI preferred FTC for my CIMA studies.\n\nGood luck

It allows you to switch between all of the applications you have running.  It is important to HOLD the Alt key.. while you only TAP on the Tab key... that will allow you to easily select the application you need.  This is great to use if your computer is freezing and you lose mouse functionality.

It's not all about compatable applications.\nThere are alternatives to most windows applications for Linux.\nWith pressure others can get ported.\nUntill then there's always WINE.

It comes down to cost. Keep in mind this is always the corporate answer and to a certain extent, they aren't really lying, but with a majority of the eyeballs using some variant of IE, this is what they will choose to focus their resources. True, it would not cost a lot more to take advantage of say the Opera users and others. Within Firefox it looks good.

Of the two I prefer delphi\n\n///

Well, Microsofts motivations are pretty transparent. Real freeware browser alternatives are coming up like Firefox and Opera, that a lot of people find a lot more pleasent to use. IE7 contains the same stuff as previous versions of IE, but the layout is more like firefox and it supports "tabbed surfing".\n\nI think the problem is, the sophisticated users have all already moved on.

It is one of the easier to use. Go to "help" in the menu bar, to ask specific questions, because there are so many things you can do.

There are few off-the-shelf applications, since every warehouse is different, and the requirements for scanning the pictures and cataloguing them are different as well.\n\nThis is a place where custom software developers hang out\nhttp://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/?biz\nMost of them write stuff for small companies like yours, try asking a question there.

The main difference between a mainframe and a server is that a mainframe can run for years without a scratch, it's more secure, you can use any kind of software on it and much more. They are usually used inside huge companies because they cost a lot! The fact that some companies started prefering servers is only because they want to make more profit. I mean instead of buying 3 mainsframes they could buy 30 servers that could do the work for some time, and then if everything goes well they either change their mind and want to buy mainframes or servers again and again! I don't see any other reason!
