THE FINEST ENTRUEPENUER'S!


Sir Richard Branson, The top man ahead of the VIRGIN EMPIRE! He started with VIRGIN RECORDS.
And as seen below in this picture His newest baby ;"VIRGIN GALACTIC!" A new concept of flying people in a "shuttle-type" rocket craft into space and back to experience weightlessness and to see views of the earth only till now only seen by astronauts.

Bill Gates of MICROSOFT! Even though he quit Harvard, I still look up to him for what he has done with his software company "MICROSOFT!"

COMPUTERS!

When it comes to pure speed of the processor, there are several definitions of speed... again, it relates to workload. For example, there's Integer Math speed (see the SPECint2006 benchmark at www.spec.org), Integer Math Rate (throughput - SPECint_rate2006), Floating Point Math speed (SPECfp2006), and Floating Point Math Rate (SPECfp_rate2006). Processors that are great at Integer math may stink at floating point, and vice versa. Some CPUs are made with bigger, badder math capabilities, others with better I/O throughput. Your choice depends on what you want to do with the computer, and are getting less and less every day as proprietary CPUs (such as PowerPC, Alpha, SPARC, and PA-RISC processors) are dropping by the wayside in favor of cheaper, mass-market Intel and AMD CPUs that are considered "good enough" these days. About your comment about multi-core CPUs (quad-core vs. Dual-core vs. single-core)... The clock rate is important only if you run a single-threaded application. Such applications will run on only 1 of the cores, and will make a quad-core 2.4Ghz CPU look slower than a single-core P4 @ 3.2 Ghz. These days, we often do a few things with our computers at a time (download a file, fetch our email, surf the net, etc.) so even a desktop user will see some benefit from a multi-core architecture because it can do more than one thing at a time. The single-core CPU can only execute one program at a time, where the quad-core can execute 4 at a time. So, being able to execute 4 programs simultaneously at 2.4 Ghz vs. 4 programs one at a time (well, timesliced, they appear to run at the same time) at 3.2 Ghz - you're likely to find that the quad-core gets more done in the same amount of time - so it's "faster", even though it has a lower clock rate.

FAQ on American Currency

Question What denominations of currency are in circulation today? Will any new denominations be produced? AnswerThe present denominations of our currency in production are $1, $2, 5$, $10, $20, $50 and $100. The purpose of the United States currency system is to serve the needs of the public and these denominations meet that goal. Neither the Department of the Treasury nor the Federal Reserve System has any plans to change the denominations in use today. ^ TOP Question What was the largest currency denomination ever produced? Answer The largest denomination of currency ever printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) was the $100,000 Series 1934 Gold Certificate featuring the portrait of President Wilson. These notes were printed from December 18, 1934 through January 9, 1935 and were issued by the Treasurer of the United States to Federal Reserve Banks only against an equal amount of gold bullion held by the Treasury Department. The notes were used only for official transactions between Federal Reserve Banks and were not circulated among the general public. ^ TOP Question What denominations of currency notes is the Treasury Department no longer printing? Answer On July 14, 1969, David M. Kennedy, the 60th Secretary of the Treasury, and officials at the Federal Reserve Board announced that they would immediately stop distributing currency in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. Production of these denominations stopped during World War II. Their main purpose was for bank transfer payments. With the arrival of more secure transfer technologies, however, they were no longer needed for that purpose. While these notes are legal tender and may still be found in circulation today, the Federal Reserve Banks remove them from circulation and destroy them as they are received. ^ TOP Question Did the Treasury Department ever produce a $1 million currency note? I have one that I want to know about. Answer We receive many inquiries asking if the Treasury Department ever produced a $1 million currency note. People have sent in copies of these notes. We have found that they are nonnegotiable platinum certificates known as a "One Million Dollar Special Issue." These notes were from a special limited copyrighted art series originally sold by a Canadian firm for $1.00 each as a collectible item. They are not official United States currency notes manufactured by our Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP). As such, they are not redeemable by the Department of the Treasury. You may be interested to know that the BEP learned of these certificates in the spring of 1982. All related correspondence was forwarded to the United States Secret Service to decide if there were any violations of Federal currency laws. The Secret Service subsequently advised, however, that these certificates did not violate any United States law. ^ TOP Question Why did the Treasury Department remove the $2 bill from circulation? AnswerThe $2 bill has not been removed from circulation and is still a circulating denomination of United States paper currency. The Federal Reserve System does not, however, request the printing of that denomination as often as the others. The Series 2003 $2 bill was the last printed and bears the names of former Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snow and Treasurer Rosario Marin. As of April 30, 2007 there were $1,549,052,714 worth of $2 bills in circulation worldwide. Two Dollar Front Two Dollar Back The key for successfully circulating the $2 bill is for retailers to use them just like any other denomination in their daily operations. In addition, most commercial banks will readily supply their retail customers with these bills if their customers request them in sufficient volume to justify stocking them in their vaults. However, neither the Department of the Treasury nor the Federal Reserve System can force the distribution or use of any denomination of currency on banks, businesses or individuals.
