An SSD (Solid State Drive) is a type of hard drive that uses no moving parts, but rather stores data on Flash chips, similar to a Flash drive or CompactFlash.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

What is hardware stack and software stack?

hardware stack - a stack implemented in and entirely managed by hardware, this stack will have dedicated memory and registers in the physical hardware of the system.software stack - a stack implemented with and entirely managed by software, this stack will use a small piece of main RAM and variables declared in the program software (making it much easier to modify if necessary than a hardware stack).


Which is the best processor for software development like .netjava?

Some say: "What processor you use is pretty irrelevant to software development these days." Actually, it always matter. Yes, it is. Look, you do not state the kind of software you are about. For example, I could say that it depends on how one goes with the development. To write web applications and deploy them locally for development purposes, one needs to spawn application container, in some cases on virtual box supplying OS different than the development environment one. Virtualisation is processor dependent. So is multiprocessing. Also, you do not mention your energy consumption requirements. Laptops differ from heavy boxes. At the mo: prefer quad over i5 (it's 2 or 4 cores, loosely coupled). If you can, go i7 (there's a mobile version) - that's preferable. Also, all the processes need some repetitive I/O, SSD preferable then. If low budget, consider hybrid drives: like Momentus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKUYVVPWN8I. Would like to get one! :)


How do object oriented design and structure design differ?

Object Oriented programming is a superset of structured programming. Structured programming is as follows:--Program startvarvarvarfunction { ... }function { ... }function { ... }main { ... }--- Program EndYou have units of code, which operate on variables, and are called in reference to those variables, to follow a structure acting on those variables.Object oriented is as follows:--- Program Startobject {varvarfunction { ... }function { ... }function { ... }}varvarfunction { ... }main { ... }--- Program endVariables can be objects, which have their own data and functions. Think like C and structures, except structures can have functions "in them" which operate specificly on their own data. Thus, instead of referencing a function (a block of code) and telling it to operate on a variableq you reference an object and tell it to perform an operation, most often on itself, specific to itself, using its own data. Instead of creating units of data to pass to functions which operate on them, you create objects and have them perform operations [on themselves].Functions attached to objects don't need a specific name; rather than task_struct_sort_children(task) and acl_rules_struct_sort_children(task), you can have task and acl_rules with task->sort_children() and acl_rules->sort_children(), which have completely different specific function but the same logical function, and operate on the specific instance of the object.structured oriented programming and object oriented programming have some features of similarities, but the distinction between the two is that the former relies to the GOTO statements thus the developer has a tendency to confuse while the latter is subgrouped from objects, classes, methods and hierarchies.
