9) Universal Serial Bus

partially correct, it's Universal Serial Bus (I'm taking CST, computer systems tech.)

Okay, now the technojargon explaining this: "serial" means that data flows in one direction, one bit at a time, this is mostly used in keyboards, or anything where data is flowing into the computer, there are USB keyboards, but Cisco does indeed define USB as a serial bus, but the name can be debated, because before I took this course, I alwas reffered to it, and heard it reffered to as a Universal System Bus. (now here's a good question. what's the maximum number of devices that can be attached to one of those ports?)

4) not sure, but it's 1.2mm per year, and was at 5.2 meters in 1997, about 5.5 degrees.

(question set 16, current as of this post...) <---this is the only part anyone needs to read, because it reffers to the cuurent question set

[coolotter88 2]

sorry to rain on your party but you're answering the wrong question set and USB really really really really REALLY stands for universal serial bus, look it up on wikipedia. and yes wikipedia is a reliable source. also "define: USB" in google search. S is for serial which means USB uses a serial interface! yay!

♦you are allowed to edit your posts in this game so long as your post was made after my last post. And, in fact, it is preferred to reduce clutter. thundercrack, coolotter, I'm looking at you.

♦don't post silly answeres like "a whole lot of colors". You know that isn't going to get you any credit, so don't waste your time.
