 DHCP - a Whatis.com definition - see also: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a communications protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's network.
DHCP uses the concept of a "lease" or amount of time that a given IP address will be valid for a computer.
Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer in an organization and a new IP address must be entered each time a computer moves to a new location on the network.

 Computer Viruses
If you have a high-speed modem (such as DSL or Cable modems) connected to your computer through an Ethernet cable (which is the most common configuration for high-speed internet access setups), then the easiest and best way to protect yourself is to install a device called a router in between your modem and your computer.
A computer virus or worm is a program that infects your computer files and often has damaging side effects such as: hard drive erasure, use of all available memory, corruption of the boot sector and many other consequences.
A firewall is a program or hardware that protects your computer system(s) from unauthorized access by other computers over the internet (this is how "worms" get in to your computer).

 benchmark Computer Encyclopedia Enterprise Resource Directory Complete Guide to Internet
"In the computer industry, there are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and benchmarks." A benchmark may attempt to indicate the overall power of a system by including a "typical" mixture of programs or it may attempt to measure more specific aspects of performance, like graphics, I/O or computation (integer or {floating-point}).
A standard program or set of programs which can be run on different computers to give an inaccurate measure of their performance.
Benchmarks should be carefully interpreted, you should know exactly which benchmark was run (name, version); exactly what configuration was it run on (CPU, memory, compiler options, single user/multi-user, peripherals, network); how does the benchmark relate to your workload?

 Analogue(Analog) computer simulation: Consultant McCann Science
With personal computers being faster now and graphical user interfaces much easier to create, McCann has made a digitised analogue computer which recovers much of the diagramatic, visual and recognisable topology features of analogue computers to give an easy way to build a model by pointing and linking.
In the middle '60's and early '70's digital computers became capable of matching computational speed in numerical solution of differential equations.
Having made the analogue computer replica, McCann has extended it so that it will do some of the things that the HYBRID (analogue-digital) computers used to do.
