        NOODLES happens not only the length, but seriously



                              "The most ignorant is

                               someone who thinks he knows 
everything " 


                                        Marguerite of Navarre



    The following text - there is a reprint of a book "for
children of secondary school age. "Title I thereof, silent
deliberately so as not to offend the authors of the book ... A 
way, to know should these "authors" in order not to pile the 
new noodles. This knizhentsiya called the "Encyclopedia of 
boys." 

    I could not refrain from commenting because of the 
senility, I still have not seen anywhere else ... My comments 
come after the "On>>". Also words in capital letters, too, 
marked me. Anticipating nizhenapisannoe, saying that apparently 
this "benefit" meant true kettle which quite a lot on the PC and

really does not find the day with fire in Spectrum'e. Generally,
read and learn it yourself.


  What is a computer? This is primarily a machine that in many 
ways similar to other machines. 

 About>> Xp-p, yeah, tell me more - the car, the rear seats are 
sometimes having fun:). 


  So, it works from the mains ..

 About>> And that means not just a similar car, and electric 
vehicles, in which the pedal to turn right! 

... Consists of a series of interconnected blocks, finally, it
intended for well-defined goals. Computers
unique for the reason that they can accept, store and
use information and to make a team. Thanks
microprocessor brain and ...


    About>> And the microprocessor also brain is?? It should be 
with him try to play chess (though better with him in water polo

play - a swim too, he just can not (like me)).

... E memory they can handle obtained
the data. "

 "The program - a task the computer. If your computer is in 
many ways resembles the work of our brains: and they both get 
their information, store, compare, edit, and manipulate 
information. 

 About>> By the way brains, too, can go off on one side (26 
rubles. :-). 

 And yet, between them there is a significant difference:
Computer - an electronic device, which should give the task, ie 
clearly articulate what must be done. Only Under this 
condition, the computer starts to work: getting the job 
executes it and displays the results of their work. 

 About>> Hmmm ... wow! And where he produces dung??

 How can you give the job a computer? Very simple. Done
this with a set of commands, called the program. Program can be 
yourself, and you can buy ready-made. 

 About>> Better to gotovenkom profiteer, and then the 
reluctance of the clave bang - suddenly onaya fails, then what 
is to be played?! 

 There are thousands of so-called software packages, and they 
cover almost all spheres of our lives: from the exciting space 
adventure in the electronic games to solve mathematical 
problems, management of financial operations and training for 
printing typewriter.


 About>> Aha, so it means typing on a typewriter study by
computer? As a try, but it's probably just have forgotten how 
to type to rattle! 

 When the computer executes the programmed task, say
that carried RUN program.

 About>> RUN?? C'mon, enough to let RUN. That's the phrase
I just killed him. Well, just like ... (See below).

 Let's see how well constructed computer program. Usually the 
team injected into the machine. The commands may prove very 
simple and very difficult - it all depends on what you want 
from the computer. 

 About>> LD A, B, LX, H / SLI A, (IY +80). Not the topic, but 
about life:). 

 For example, to appear on the screen display the phrase 
"Hello" quite a few simple commands. But to create an 
electronic game they may need thousands. 

 Now imagine that every time to play your
favorite game, you had to be introduced into the machine a few 
thousand commands.


 About>> nifiga yourself, and if my favorite game - Raven 
Black? Yes, I would now like to ask the authors of this little 
books - and what is this game so with a few thousand greetings 
... I know - wINDOWS! 


  Fortunately, this can not do:
 About>> Whew, let alone scared - go to Peter and ask Slavik 
MORE ONCE write CV (sorry :-()).


 Once the programming is recorded and stored on magnetic tape, 
which allows to use repeatedly. 

 O>> U-oo-oo. Finally can hurt. Zakolebus because CV with 
shipping tape : - [.


 A set of computer programs commonly referred to as software. 
It is implemented in the idea of ​​a sequence of commands that 
should be made computer. 

 O>> O-O-O-O! There is conceptually straight-ideological 
sinusondye insinsinuatsii flooded. "IDEA sequence of commands 
to complete as a Computer". Yes-ah ... And if the PC fail to 
comply with these very ideas of some kind SEQUENCE certain 
commands?? In short, should, and the point. Let the poor fellow 
himself with THIS is parsed.


 Most of the computer can store and perform hundreds of 
different programs. " 

 About>> In general, you can throw a bolt on 128 gigs in the 
trash and forget about the good life. Anyway, after a few 
hundred all zagnetsya to Bill Gates' great-grandmother (CBSA 
Locke did not want to be included on their own :-).


 "Computer program tells the computer the basic commands that 
are required to perform a specific job. 

 About>> Wow! Capps lok again kerf!

However, like the rules of any game, the program - it is only
preparatory stage. Computer to do began to execute commands 
(program), it is necessary to carry out data entry and some 
additional commands.  The information you enter can be in the 
form of numbers, letters, words or images.


 About>> Now you pozagibat fingers before Druganov: "That's, 
like, I have screenshots of the ZX-STAG'a in PZUhe stitching! "


 Data can be entered from the keyboard, which resembles an 
ordinary typewriter keyboard. 

 About>> Again, you can popantovatsya: "The Fellowship, look - 
a proprietary Dial "mitsrosofta" (again caps lok bran, rogue 
:-) - case of "Yatran (about - again kerf!), buttons, albeit 
with a lift removed ... But look at all of -0.001%!


 Input data can be entered as a magnetic disk. It is important
one: while the computer does not receive the necessary input 
data, it idle, he just nothing else to do. "


 About>> Just nothing? Well, brought the country. Okay so, let 
at least for leisure telly look (or play on the computer :-).


 "If you ever had to deal with computer
games, you probably know what a control knob.

 About>> Thanks, of course, for the compliment, but my hand is 
unworthy of such wonderful epithets ... (A phrase worthy of the 
phrase control knob drover mouse Oberon'e) 

 It (the handle) allows you to move the image, line, word or
cursor ...

 About>> Aha, so you're talking about a different pen ... Well, 
I tried the pen in connector from kemstona stick - I have, for 
some reason the monitor blew up ... (?) Are giving bad advice. 
Shame on you, comrades ... (A good handle was - gel, with a red 
(?) paste ... Um-e-x ...). 

... On the screen.

 About>> What-oh?? On the screen? So you're talking about the 
joystick ... So would immediately and said, but she always 
monitor a pity (and a pen, too) ... :-( 

 We recall that a cursor is a light spot, just
indicates the position where you put the output or
team.

 About>> light spot? And how it differs from the spot (light
or not - can not remember exactly) to dress Monica Lewinsky (or
as it is there).
 A-A-ah! STE hto to monitor spat (or "shta" others did
!)?


     Control knob can be tilted in different directions,
In other words, it has the same purpose as the
installation keys, but moving across the screen by
Quickly and in eight directions, instead of four. "

 O>> Oh, four ... A two knopitsy once hard to press ?!...


    That is, in principle, and everything. Well, okay, I'm very
tired of making fun ... Well now, that is!
