Q:

What is a zombie?

Answer

When a program forks and the child finishes before the parent, the kernel still keeps some of its information about the child in case the parent might need it – for example, the parent may need to check the child’s exit status. To be able to get this information, the parent calls `wait()’; In the interval between the child terminating and the parent calling `wait()’, the child is said to be a `zombie’ (If you do `ps’, the child will have a `Z’ in its status field to indicate this.)

Q:

Which of the following investment choices is least risky?

A) Renting B) Bonds
C) Flipping D) CD's
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) CD's

Explanation:

CDs are the least risky investment choice when compared to flipping, renting and bonds.

A certificate of deposit (CD) is a savings certificate with a fixed maturity date, specified fixed interest rate and can be issued in any denomination aside from minimum investment requirements. A CD restricts access to the funds until the maturity date of the investment. CDs are generally issued by commercial banks.

CDs are issued by the bank and are guaranteed by the government. So even if the bank goes bankrupt the investor's money is guaranteed to a certain extent.

Flipping and renting are subjected to market fluctuations while bonds are not insured.
