COMPONENTS OF THE NETWORK

• File Server: most networks have at least one central computer which all the desktop computers connect to. This is the most important computer on your network. It stores the data files and application software programs that the users need to access or share with others.
• PC: this is the desktop computer or notebook computer on your desk. It is linked to the server, and can access files and applications on it. Each computer on the network has a device called a network interface card which connects the computer to the network. Many computers come with these cards fitted as standard.
• Periferical: once your have a network you can share any number of these, including printers, scanners, CD-ROM drives, and backup devices.
• Hub: desktops typically connect via telephone-type cabling to this intermediary device, which enables communication between servers and desktop.

The Tower of Babel

1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children builded. 67 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Genesis 11:1-9 (KJV)

Optical Illusions Translated

Craik-O'Brien-Cornsweet Illusion

Compara los 2 objetos inmóviles: Dos discos oscuros centrados en dos discos ligeros grises. Al mover el ratón, arrastras una "mascara", que puede cubrir parte de los discos. ¡Cuándo ajustes de modo que el centro desenmascarado sólo muestre las manchas oscuras, notaras que el disco derecho central tiene la misma luminosidad que el externo que le rodea!

(Francisco Javier Arias Fernández)


Scintillating Grid

Si tu miras la imagen, notarás la aparición
y desaparición de puntos negros sobre las esquinas.

(Isidro Fuentes Muñoz)


Pyramid Illusion

En la imagen aparecen cuadrados sobrepuestos que se van haciendo más pequeños, y a medida que se hacen mas pequeños, sale una X que en la realidad no existe, es imaginaria, solamente sale porque es el efecto que causan todos los cuadros juntos.

Silhouette Illusion

En la imagen, aparece una bailarin a girando,mentalmente tienes que concentrarte y hacer girar la figura en la direccion opuestao. Es posiible, pero dificil.

Blur & picture content

Esto no es una ilusión óptica propia, es más un efecto físico: con un filtro borroso, esa versión carece de detalles, vemos una calavera cuando la imagen está borrosa y cuando es nítida, vemos una mujer reflejada en un espejo.

(Christian Cruz)

Computer Science - La informática

• ENGLISH

Computer science, or computing science, is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and their implementation and application in computer systems. Computer science has many sub-fields; some emphasize the computation of specific results (such as computer graphics), while others relate to properties of computational problems (such as computational complexity theory). Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to describing computations, while computer programming applies specific programming languages to solve specific computational problems. A further subfield, human-computer interaction, focuses on the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable and universally accessible to people.

• SPANISH

La informática o ciencia informática, es el estudio de los fundamentos teóricos de la información y computación y su aplicación en sistemas informáticos. La informática tiene muchos sub-campos, algunos hacen hincapié el los resultados de procesos específicos (cómo gráficos para ordenador), mientras que otras tienen relación con las propiedades de los problemas de procesamiento (como la teoría de la complejidad del procesamiento). En cambio, otros se centran en los retos de las aplicaciones informáticas. Por ejemplo, teorías del lenguaje de programación que estudian el acercamiento a la descripción del procesamiento, mientras la programación de ordenadores impone un lenguaje de programación específico para resolver problemas específicos de procesamiento. Un campo lejano, la interacción persona-ordenador, centra en el reto de fabricar ordenadores útiles, usables y universalmente accesibles para todos.

LAPTOP TRANSLATION

• ENGLISH

A laptop computer, or simply laptop (also notebook computer or notebook), is a small mobile computer, which usually weighs 2-18 pounds (1-6 kilograms), depending on size, materials, an other factors.

A laptop computer is much smaller than a desktop. Laptops usually run on a single main battery or from an external AC/DC adapter which can charge the battery while also supplying power to the computer itself. Many computers also have a 3 volt cell to run the clock and other processes in the event of a power failure.

As personal computers, laptops are capable of the same tasks as a desktop computer, although they are typically less powerful for the same price. They contain components that are to their desktop counterparts and perform the same fuctions, but are miniaturized and optimized for mobile use and efficient power consumption. Laptops usually have liquid crystal displays and most of them use different memory modules for their random access memory (RAM), for instance, SO-DIMM in lieu of the larger DIMMs. In addition to a built-in keyboard, they may utilize a touchpad (also known as a trackpad) or a pointing stick for input, though an external keyboard or mouse can usually be attached.

• SPANISH

Un ordenador portátil, o simplemente portátil, es un pequeño ordenador móvil, que normalmente pesa entre 2 y 18 libras (entre 1 y 6 kg), dependiendo del tamaño, materiales y otros factores.

Un ordenador portátil es mucho más pequeño que uno de sobremesa. Los portátiles normalmente funcionan con una bateria principal o desde un adaptador AC/DC externo que puede cargar la bateria suministrando al mismo tiempo energía al ordenador. Muchos ordenadores también tienen una pila de tres voltios para que el reloj y otros procesos funcionen en caso de que el encendido falle o la bateria se agote.

Como ordenadores personales, los portátiles son capaces de realizar las mismas tareas que con un ordenador de sobremesa, aunque normalmente por el mismo precio son menos potentes. Contienen componentes que son similares a los de sobremesa, son homólogos y ejecutan las mismas funciones, pero son miniaturizados y optimizados para que sean movibles y tengan un consumo de energia eficiente. Los portátiles normalmente tienen pantallas de cristal líquido y la mayoría de ellos usan diferentes módulos de memoria para su acceso a la memoria RAM, por ejemplo, SO-DIMM en lugar de las grandes DIMMs. Además de incorporar un teclado, pueden utilizar una almohadilla táctil (también conocida como trackpad) o un "pointing stick" para entrada, a pesar de esto también se puede utilizar un teclado y un ratón externo.
