  Crash (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A crash in computing is a condition where a program (either an application or part of the operating system) stops performing its expected function and also stops responding to other parts of the system.
If this program is a critical part of the operating system kernel the entire computer may crash (a system crash).
On earlier personal computers, it was acutally possible to cause hardware damage through trying to write to hardware addresses outside of the system's main memory.

 Hang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, either a single computer program or the whole system may hang.
The window concerned or the whole computer screen becomes static, in the latter case including the mouse cursor.
Most newer systems, such as Apple Computer's Mac OS X and Microsoft's Windows XP crash less often; they do not need to be totally restarted in the event of a hang.

 Social Security Disability Freeze Application
To prevent this, the disability freeze provisions, in effect, ignore periods of disability when computing a retirement or survivors benefit.
To qualify for a disability freeze, a person must be found disabled under the same definitions and with the same rigor required for the later cash benefits program.
Once Congress saw that the disability freeze program was workable and presented no insurmountable problems of administration, it was more favorably inclined to enact cash disability benefits--which it did two years later.

 Concordia computing news - Excel freeze pane tip   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The solution to this is to separate the worksheet into multiple panes, and then to freeze the upper and/or left panes in place, if desired.
If you are specifically interested in freezing upper row(s) and/or left column(s) in place, you can do that directly without having to split the window first.
If what you want to do is to work in multiple areas of the worksheet and be able to scroll horizontally and vertically in each area, then splitting the window into multiple panes is what you want.

 Sci-Tech Today - - Chilly Future May Await Tomorrow's Computers
A digital "deep freeze" may be the only way to save computers of the future from sizzling speeds that could burn out even the most robust microchips and hard drives.
Theoretical quantum computers substitute the up-and-down spin states of subatomic particles for the zeroes and ones of the binary code.
Calling their chilling cure a "quantum freeze of fidelity," Tomaz Prosen and Marko Znidaric from the University of Ljubljana say that under certain conditions, their solution successfully eliminates a whole set of quantum errors.

 Five Steps to Crash-Free Computing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Unfortunately, marked improvements in computer reliability have not eliminated the fact that computers do still on occasion "freeze" or "hang." Or even worse, "crash," forcing you to unplug your machine to turn it off.
One advantage of running Windows XP Professional on your computer is that — unlike Windows 2000 and Windows 98 — it has built-in tools to rescue your PC from programs that make it behave badly.
Because a slow computer can be as frustrating as one that crashes or freezes, you also might consider adopting a regimen of regular system maintenance.

 Warming Trend Seen In Late Freeze, Early Thaw Of Northern Waterways, Say Science Researchers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
A 150-year record of freeze and ice breakup dates for lakes and rivers in such far-flung locales as Wisconsin and Japan chronicles a recent climate warming trend in the Northern Hemisphere, say researchers in the 8 September issue of the international journal Science.
During this interval, the date of first freeze was postponed by an average of 9.8 days, while thaw occurred an average of 8.7 days earlier.
Along with the later freeze and earlier thaw pattern observed in the Science study, previous research has confirmed an increase in the year-to-year variability of Northern Hemisphere freeze and ice breakup dates during the last half of the 20th century.

 Putting User Changes on Ice
Deep Freeze standard is designed for freezing a single PC or a small number of PC's.
Deep Freeze Standard was the original offering from Hyper Technologies, and while it is useful in many environments, it has one significant drawback: if you want to save anything to the hard disk you need to have a second hard drive installed or physically partition the primary hard drive.
One of the biggest issues that face the widespread deployment of Deep Freeze are those applications that require writing files to drives which are frozen.

Recovery Oriented Computing (ROC) takes the perspective that hardware faults, software bugs, and operator errors are facts to be coped with, not problems to be solved.
The healing computer concept is really only useful on servers, which have a fairly limited number of possible problems.
Most of the freezes and lockups you experience are due to little power fluctuations.

 Computing Canada: PC cards can freeze user settings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
In settings where computers receive a high level of traffic, a small percentage of users may -- perhaps through no fault of their own -- download a virus or screw up the system settings.
The Reborn Device, distributed by Link Micro Solutions in Markham, Ont., is able to reset a computer's original settings no matter how much monkey-wrenching a user does in Fdisk or Bios or even if he tries to format the hard disk, according to the company.
The device, in 3.5-inch and 5.25-inch formats, plugs into an ISA or accelerated graphics port, saves all key system data and, according to Lam, is impervious to damage from viruses and malicious or ignorant users.

 'Young' Servers Could Lead to Spending Freeze
Infrastructure demands are increasing and the computing industry is migrating to multi-core processors, server utilization and 64-bit computing to support next-generation workloads.
A "young" install base on the computers that serve as the processing brain for legions of desktops could lead to a slowdown in spending on servers this year, a recent Merrill Lynch report says.
But the trauma of a global computer meltdown was never realized and companies had new servers to use to ferry and store data.

Digital computing performance has improved 10,000-fold in the past two decades: what took a year of number crunching in 1983 takes less than an hour nowadays, and a desktop computer from that era can't match the processing power of one of today's handheld organizers.
Operators may face such difficulties because computer designers and programmers have frequently sacrificed ease of use in the quest for better performance.
Last, computer scientists should develop the ability to inject test errors; these would permit the evaluation of system behavior and assist in operator training.

 FREE Microsoft Office Tutorials - Splitting & Freezing Panes in Excel
Working with a large spreadsheet of data can be a real pain at times, especially when you have to scroll past column or row headings to get to the data you need.
Freezing a pane in Excel involves locking columns or rows in place, so that when you scroll through the spreadsheet these columns or rows are always visible on the screen.
If you can freeze the column on the left that contains the customer or employee names, then when you need to scroll beyond your screen view, those names stay in place and you can always be sure you are viewing the correct corresponding data.

Even more frustrating are the times when you try to turn off your PC and it freezes, forcing you into an endless reboot cycle or requiring that you yank the power cord out of the back of the system because the power button doesn't work.
Overheating memory causes freezes that are often unheralded, as well, but generally they generate memory-related error messages.
For example, if your PC freezes every time you turn on your scanner, you can bet that the scanner is conflicting with another device.
