CD/DVD Guidelines

2009-03-26T07:47:00.000-07:00

Safety Margins: Text and important images must fall within the red boxes.Extending important element beyond these lines can cause problems during cutting, folding and assembly.Pants of images on text can end up being trimmed off or fall directly on a fold.

Cut Lines: This is approximately where your artwork will be trimmed. Keeping all text and important images inside the 1/8th inch safety margins will prevent their unintended loss during cutting.

Bleeds: This area is going to be completely trimmed away during the cutting process. Only solids colors background images on foreground images that intentionally run off the page should extend though this area. Having bleeds ensures that your artwork will not have a thin white border around it.

Folds: Be very careful when running any text or important images over folds. Text, especially text under 9pt. can be hand to read if it is falling on a fold.

2009-02-02T07:10:00.000-08:00

I think that family is the most important in life because there always there for you on the good days and on the bad days family will always have a open heart for any problem. They can also make you angry and hurt but what ever hurt you and don't kill you it only make you stronger. I never saw for myself a family that doesn't care for each other like family should,to me it seem as though that family always have the answer for some ting for any problem. I believe that family is the most viable thing and the world, it hurt when you have lost someone because it like giving up a part for you.

Family should never hurt you on porous because family should help you in all different problem even if it uncomfortable for you as my conclude this is why family is the most value thing in the world

Holiday Card Project EC6

2008-11-10T07:09:00.000-08:00

What is the Holiday Card Project ? The purpose of the Holiday Card project is to create Holiday cards for people who are hospitalized during the holiday season. The idea behind the project is to simply try to bring a little Cheer to those who are undergoing hospital stay.

Exactly who receives the cards ? The cards will be distributed to both U.S. and international hospitals The cards will be delivered in- person by a representative . The patient who receive the cards age in range from children to seniors and have illness or injuries that vary from mild to terminal.

What should I write in a card ? Be as creative as you'd like . Just remember,the degree of illness for patients will vary, so it is important to be cheerful. Some suggested greetings include,"Hope you're feelings better", "Thinking of you", or " Have a nice day". Try to say away from "Get well soon" as it might not be appropriate for all patients . Remember to include a message of "Happy Holiday"

Will the patients know who sent the card ? The only way a patient wil Konw who the card is from is if you sign your name .If you would like to send your card anonymously, you may.

Can I send more than one card? Absolutely! However, remember that quality is better than quantity. Sending one quality card is better than putting two cards together.

Is there a specific size or medium for the card? There is no specific size for the cards. Use your best judgement. You can design and decorate cards by drawing, coloring or painting. You can use glitter, construction paper, cardboard, markers, crayons, color pencils to make your card special. You can also design your card in Photoshop. In Photoshop please use 4*6 or 5*7 for your dimension.

How many DVD formats are there

DVD Video

For viewing movies and other visual entertainment. The total capacity is 17 Gbytes if two layers on both sides of the disk are utilized.

DVD-ROM

Its basic technology is the same as DVD Video, but it also includes computer-friendly file formats. It is used to store data. This product should supplant conventional CD-ROMs in the near future.

DVD-R

Its capacity is 4.7 Gbytes. Originally designed for professional authoring, a version for general consumer use is now under development. As with CD-R, users can write only once to this disk.

DVD-RAM

This makes DVD a virtual hard disk, with a random read-write access. Originally a 2.6-Gbyte drive, its capacity has increased to 4.7-Gbyte-per-side. It can be re-written more than 100,000 times.

DVD-RW

Similar to DVD-RAM except that its technology features a sequential read-write access more like a phonograph than a hard disk. Its read-write capacity is 4.7 Gbytes per side. It can be re-written up to about 1,000 times.

DVD Audio

The latest audio format more than doubles the fidelity of a standard CD. It is expected to become the most popular audio disk.

8.What kind of wafers are used at Intel to make computer chips?

Computer chip technology is in all sorts of everyday items, from space shuttles to coffee makers, traffic lights, and computers. A basic rule of thumb is, if a device uses electricity and you can "tell it what to do" by programming it or customizing it, there's a chip inside.

Chips perform various tasks by design, meaning that some are more complex than others. The most sophisticated chip is a microprocessor, whose transistors can execute hundreds of millions of instructions per second.

9. What do they call the suit that cleanroom technicians must wear while making computer chips?

10.What does modem stand for anyway?

(mō´dem) (n.) Short for modulator-demodulator. A modem is a device or program that enables a computer to transmit data over, for example, telephone or cable lines. Computer information is stored digitally, whereas information transmitted over telephone lines is transmitted in the form of analog waves. A modem converts between these two forms.

11. I think the person who coined these computer terms must have been hungry.What is a bit?

A bit (short for binary digit) is the smallest unit of data in a computer. A bit has a single binary value, either 0 or 1. Although computers usually provide instructions that can test and manipulate bits, they generally are designed to store data and execute instructions in bit multiples called bytes. In most computer systems, there are eight bits in a byte. The value of a bit is usually stored as either above or below a designated level of electrical charge in a single capacitor within a memory device.
Half a byte (four bits) is called a nibble. In some systems, the term octet is used for an eight-bit unit instead of byte. In many systems, four eight-bit bytes or octets form a 32-bit word. In such systems, instruction lengths are sometimes expressed as full-word (32 bits in length) or half-word (16 bits in length).

15. When were floppy disks introduced ?

In 1956 IBM invented the first computer disk storage system, the 305 RAMAC (Random Access Method of Accounting and Control). This system could store five MBytes. It had fifty, 24-inch diameter disks!

16. How many megabytes of data can a factory made audio CD hold?

When you copy data to a CD, you must take care that the your data does not exceed the capacity of the CD you are recording to. Due to the audio origin of CDs, the amount of information a CD can hold is measured in minutes:seconds:sectors. Each second contains 75 sectors, each of which can hold 2048 bytes (2 kilobytes) of Mode 1 user data. Recordable CDs come in 21- (80 mm diameter), 63-, and 74-minute sizes (both 120 mm diameter), which can contain:
21 min x (60 sec) x (75 sectors) x (2 kbytes) = 189,000 kilobytes
= 184 megabytes

63 min x (60 sec) x (75 sectors) x (2 kbytes) = 567,000 kilobytes
= 553 megabytes

74 min x (60 sec) x (75 sectors) x (2 kbytes) = 660,000 kilobytes
