ROM stands for read-only-memory.

It's used to store the start-up instructions for a computer, also known as the firmware.

Most modern computers use flash-based ROM. It is part of the BIOS chip, which is located on the motherboard.

Long term scheduler determines which programs are admitted to the system for processing. It controls the degree of multiprogramming. Once admitted, a job becomes a process.

Medium term scheduling is part of the swapping function. This relates to processes that are in a blocked or suspended state. They are swapped out of real-memory until they are ready to execute. The swapping-in decision is based on memory-management criteria.

Short term scheduler, also know as a dispatcher executes most frequently, and makes the finest-grained decision of which process should execute next. This scheduler is invoked whenever an event occurs. It may lead to interruption of one process by preemption.

If he was unable to make his shift, I would find a replacement, and stay until the replacement came in.

Yep! It's your NAME that belongs to you but is used more by others than you.

Cloud computing :: 

Cloud computing is an information technology (IT) paradigm that enables ubiquitous access to shared pools of configurable system resources and higher-level services that can be rapidly provisioned with minimal management effort, often over the Internet.

Server virtualization :

Server virtualization is a virtualization technique that involves partitioning a physical server into a number of small, virtual servers with the help of virtualization software. In server virtualization, each virtual server runs multiple operating system instances at the same time.

Server virtualization is more for a good reason. It offers the potential to dramatically save space and improve server efficiency. Vendors are in fierce competition to offer the most advanced tools that they hope will earn them the virtualization crown.

Hence, the given statement that 'Cloud computing uses Server virtualization.' is TRUE.

Fuse Wire is Made of an alloy of Tin and Lead.

If too high a current flows, the element rises to a higher temperature and either directly melts, or else melts a soldered joint within the fuse, opening the circuit. Thefuse element is made of an alloy of Tin and Lead to provide stable and predictable characteristics.

Rainer Weiss, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Kip Thorne and Barry Barish, both of the California Institute of Technology, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves, which were predicted by Albert Einstein a century ago but had never been directly seen.
