Disguise a strength as a weakness.

Example: “I sometimes push my people too hard. I like to work with a sense of urgency and everyone is not always on the same

wavelength.”

Drawback: This strategy is better than admitting a flaw, but it's so widely used, it is transparent to any experienced

interviewer.

BEST ANSWER: (and another reason it's so important to get a thorough description of your interviewer's needs before you

answer questions): Assure the interviewer that you can think of nothing that would stand in the way of your performing in

this position with excellence. Then, quickly review you strongest qualifications.

Example: “Nobody's perfect, but based on what you've told me about this position, I believe I' d make an outstanding match. I

know that when I hire people, I look for two things most of all. Do they have the qualifications to do the job well, and the

motivation to do it well? Everything in my background shows I have both the qualifications and a strong desire to achieve

excellence in whatever I take on. So I can say in all honesty that I see nothing that would cause you even a small concern

about my ability or my strong desire to perform this job with excellence.”

Alternate strategy (if you don't yet know enough about the position to talk about such a perfect fit):

Instead of confessing a weakness, describe what you like most and like least, making sure that what you like most matches up

with the most important qualification for success in the position, and what you like least is not essential.

Example: Let's say you're applying for a teaching position. “If given a choice, I like to spend as much time as possible in

front of my prospects selling, as opposed to shuffling paperwork back at the office. Of course, I long ago learned the

importance of filing paperwork properly, and I do it conscientiously. But what I really love to do is sell (if your

interviewer were a sales manager, this should be music to his ears.)

Power cycling an electronic device is a technical way of saying "resetting" it. When you power cycle a device, you turn it off and then turn it back on again. Pretty high-tech, huh? Usually, you should let the device sit for a couple seconds after turning it off to make sure the memory in the device is fully cleared before turning it back on.

Any electronic device can be power cycled, but the term is frequently used with cable modems, DSL modems, and routers. This is because small internal errors in these devices can prevent them from functioning correctly. Resetting them typically fixes the errors and allows them to work correctly again.

ECC (Error Correcting Code) memory is parity memory and non-ECC memory is non-parity. Parity memory has an extra chip on the module that checks for errors in the transfer of information to and from the memory. So if a memory module has an odd number of chips, it is parity RAM.

Many motherboards support both ECC and non-ECC memory. Some sources say you can even mix the two types of RAM and the ECC RAM will work as non-ECC memory. However, most memory companies do not support mixing the two types, so try it at your own risk. Since most motherboards will accept ECC memory, it often depends on if your computer's BIOS supports it. You may have to check your computer's manual to find the answer.

If you have a choice, non-ECC memory is typically cheaper than ECC memory and works slightly faster. So when in doubt, use non-ECC memory.

Firewire is a high-speed digital interface that comes in two varieties - 1394a (or just 1394) and 1394b. The 1394a standard (Firewire 400) supports data transfer rates up to 400 Mbps and uses a 6-pin connection. The 1394b standard (Firewire 800) can transfer data up to 800 Mbps and uses a 9-pin connection.

An 6-pin to 9-pin adapter can be used to plug a 1394a cable into a 1394b port, but the speed will be limited to 400 Mbps.

The amount of memory, or RAM, installed in your computer can significantly affect its performance. For example, having several programs open at the same time may cause your computer to slow down if all the memory is being used. Having too little memory may also prevent you from being able to open applications that require a lot of RAM. (This information is typically listed in the program's system requirements). Therefore, it is helpful to know how much memory is installed in your computer.

In Windows, you can view the amount of memory installed in your computer by right-clicking "My Computer" and selecting "Properties..." A window will open with the amount of RAM displayed underneath the "Computer" section of the window. This window can also be viewed by opening the "System" Control Panel.

If you want to see how much memory your Windows computer is using, you can open the Windows Task Manager by pressing Control-Alt-Delete or Control-Shift-Esc. You can also right-click the Taskbar and select "Task Manager." Once the Task Manager is open, click the "Performance" tab to view how much physical memory is installed in your computer and how much is available.

In Mac OS X, you can view the amount of memory your computer has by simply selecting "About This Mac" from the Apple Menu. The amount of memory is displayed beneath the processor information. If you click "More Info..." the System Profiler will open. You can then select the "Memory" option in the sidebar to view what types of memory modules are installed in each slot.

To see how much RAM you Mac is using, open the Activity Monitor application in the Utilities folder. Select the "System Memory" tab near the bottom of the window to view how much memory is being used and how much is available. The "RSIZE" field in the main section of the window indicates how much memory each process is using. This can help you determine which programs use the most memory.

The Airport Extreme and Airport Express Base Stations both have a built-in USB port that allows you to connect a printer. Whatever printer you decide to connect to an Airport Base Station will be available to all computers connected to the Base Station.

In order to print to an Airport printer, you first need to make sure your computer is connected to the wireless router (the base station) either wirelessly, or directly with an Ethernet cable. If you are using a Mac, you can simply select the Base Station from the drop-down menu by clicking the Airport icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Windows should allow you to choose the Base Station if you click the wireless network icon in the systray, located in the lower-right part of the screen.

The second thing you need to do is make sure the printer drivers for the printer are installed on the computer. Your computer will not recognize the wireless printer if you have not installed the correct drivers. You should be able to use the disc(s) that came with the printer or download the drivers from the manufacturer's website. After installing the drivers, you may need to restart your computer.

Once you've installed the printer drivers and established a network connection with the Airport Base Station, you should be able to print to the wireless printer. Just select "Print..." in whatever program you want to print from and then choose the printer from the list in the dialog box that pops up. The computer should recognize the printer as if it was connected directly to the machine. Once you click "Print," the file will get sent to the Base Station and the printer connected to it will print the document.

A computer peripheral, or peripheral device, is an external object that provides input and output for the computer. Some common input devices include:

keyboard
mouse
joystick
pen tablet
MIDI keyboard
scanner
digital camera
video camera
microphone
Some common output devices include:
monitor
projector
TV screen
printer
plotter
speakers
There are also devices that function as both input and output devices, such as:
external hard drives
media card readers
digital camcorders
digital mixers
MIDI equipment
While these are some of the more common peripherals, there are many other kinds as well. Just remember that any external device that provides input to the computer or receives output from the computer is considered a peripheral.
