Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check your list one more time. Bring along any necessary travel documents. Leave your itinerary with a friend or family member. Plan what money or credit cards you'll need. Don't forget your chargers. Know airport rules. Bring along headphones.

Answer: After you're all packed up, check your list again to make sure you didn't forget any essentials. These may include your passport (especially if traveling internationally), ID and boarding pass. Forgetting a document you need for travel can delay your plans so make sure to have what you need. This will give them peace of mind knowing where you'll be but also another set of eyes making sure you arrive at each step. You will obviously need to spend money but you should also be prepared to spend for unplanned expenses. Make sure you have a variety of ways to get money if you need it, such as an ATM card. If you are traveling internationally, make sure to let your bank and credit card company know so that there are no disruptions in your service. Although these can be bought most places, a dead phone battery can really make a new destination more stressful.Also, some international destinations will require an adapter, so prepare accordingly. If you try to bring prohibited items through security, they will likely be confiscated and it could delay your getting to your boarding zone. Reviewing the rules ahead of time can make sure your plans get off without any bumps. For example, you can't bring a filled water bottle through security but can bring your own empty bottle to fill once you're through. Whether you want to listen to music or watch a movie on the plane, headphones can help travel fun. If you forget yours at home airlines usually offer them at a price; it would be better to bring yours from home and save the money.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Insert the USB drive you want to use. Click the Start menu . Click Computer. Find your USB drive. Make note of the USB drive's label and letter. Check how much space is available on the drive. Find the music you want to transfer. Select the files and folders that you want to copy. Check the size of your selection. Right-click the selection. Select Send to. Select your USB drive. Wait while the music files to copy. Click the "Safely Remove Hardware" button in the System Tray. Select your USB drive from the "Safely Remove Hardware" menu.

Answer: Use one of the USB ports directly on the computer. Connecting to a USB hub may lead to slower transfer speeds or connection problems.  The AutoPlay window will typically open, but it may not if you've disabled it in the past. You can select "Open folder to view files" or read on to open it without using the AutoPlay window. Windows may install a few drivers if you've never connected that particular USB drive before. A USB hub is an external device that allows you to plug multiple USB devices into a single USB port. It's the icon with the windows logo in the taskbar.  By default, it's usually in the lower-left corner. It's to the right in the Start menu.  This displays all the drives attached to your computer.    You can also view your computer drives by pressing ⊞ Win+E. You may have a shortcut on your desktop as well. In Windows XP, this is labeled "My Computer." Look in the "Devices with Removable Storage" section of the window. The USB drive may be labeled with the manufacturer or model name, or it may be labeled "Removable Disk." This will make it easier to send files to it later. The drive letter will be displayed in parentheses after the label, e.g "(E:)" or "(F:)". The bar underneath the drive will show how much space is available. Knowing the amount of free space can give you a general idea of how much music will fit on it. See the chart at the bottom of the article for some examples of drive sizes and the amount of music you can store. Use File Explorer to find the music files that you want to transfer. Your music files may be located in several different locations depending on your media player settings.  Windows uses the "Music" folder as the default location for many programs. Music that you've downloaded may be in your Downloads folder. If you use Windows Media Player, you can right-click on an item in your library and select "Open file location" to view the folder that contains the files. If you use iTunes, right-click on an item in your iTunes library and select "Show in Windows Explorer." You can copy anything in the window by selecting it. You can drag a selection box, press Ctrl+A to select all of the items, or hold Ctrl and click each item you want to select. Right-click on your selected files and select "Properties." This will let you see the total size of your selected files, which you can compare with the available space on your USB drive. This displays a menu to the right of the selected files. It's in the menu that appears when you right-click a selected item in File Explorer. Alternatively, you can also click Copy in the menu that appears when you right-click a file. You'll be able to easily identify the USB drive by the label and drive letter. Alternatively, you can drag and drop your music files into the Flash Drive in Windows Explorer.  You can also right-click and click Paste to paste music files that you have copied. The time this takes will depend on the number of files you are copying, the speed of your USB drive, and the speed of your computer. Make sure not to remove the drive while files are copying. This button has an icon of a USB plug with a checkmark.  This is in the row of icons in the lower-right corner of the desktop, next to the clock. If you don't see the icon, click the arrow to display all of the icons. This will unmount your USB drive, allowing you to safely pull the drive out without damaging the files.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a development environment. Set up your version control system. Decide on a bootloader. Choose a kernel design. Start small. Test your new operating system with a virtual machine. Release a "release candidate. Network with other operating system developers.

Answer:
This is the platform you'll be using to code your new operating system. It's a matter of personal preference, but most people either use Windows or a flavor of UNIX. If you're using Windows, it's a good idea to install a UNIX environment like Cygwin or MinGW. You'll generally want to make sure whatever environment you're using includes the following:   GCC (the Gnu compiler). If you're using Windows, you can install it in Cygwin or MinGW. Binutils is a collection of tools used for manipulating object files. Again, if you're using Windows, you can install it in Cygwin. A good text editor. Vim and emacs are commonly used in UNIX environments. Windows users can use Notepad, or check out Notepad++ for a multi-tab upgrade. Perl and/or Python. One or both are recommended for string manipulation. Writing an operating system means you'll likely be creating hundreds (or thousands!) of lines of code. When you're working on revisions, this can get confusing. Some options to check out are CVS, Mercurial, and Subversion. If you don't want to create your own, you can use an existing one like Grand Unified Bootloader (GRUB). If you do feel daring enough to code a bootloader, check out Rolling Your Own Bootloader on OSDev.org. The kernel is the core of your operating system, providing an interface between the user and the computer hardware. There are monolithic kernels and micro kernels. Monolithic kernels implement all the services in the kernel, while microkernels have a small kernel combined with user daemons implementing services. In general, monolithic kernels are faster, but microkernels have better fault isolation and reliability. Begin with small things such as displaying text and interrupts before moving on to things such as memory management and multitasking. You can also try making a simple 16-bit Operating System, instead of taking a big leap. You will not have a full system in two weeks. Start with an OS that boots, then move on to the cool stuff. Rather than rebooting your computer each time you make changes or having to transfer the files from your development computer to your test machine, use a virtual machine application. VMWare is a common option that works with both Windows and Linux, and so is Bochs. Check for potential deadlocks and other bugs and repair them as needed. " You can do this by uploading your tested code to your public repository. This will allow people to test your operating system and report back on any issues they run into. There's an entire community of operating system developers congregating on various forums, including /r/osdev on Reddit and the Software Engineering Stack Exchange. One you've gotten a grasp on developing a basic operating system, read existing posts to see what kind of things come up during the development process.
