    *Why copyright violations are serious problem?
  •  
    Why are copyright violations are a serious problem? Major entertainment companies are losing millions and billions or money due to these copyright violations. More people are turning to online pirated goods instead of buying legitimately. These companies who are losing their profits are not happy about this problem. Describe two advantages and two issues with illegitimate downloading. One advantage is that pirated download saves you a lot of money. You wouldn't have to spend any money downloading these stuffs. Another advantage is that you can mass download it or download just some parts of it. For example if I wanted to listen to only one song of an album I can just download it off the internet for free, I wouldn't have to buy the real Cd which costs quite a lot of money and listen to only one song. Most artists today sell their Cd's for a high price but the qualities of their songs are not so high plus one Cd usually contains only 5 to 8 tracks. Comparing with the old times, one Cd contains about 15 to 20 tracks and it would still cost less and the songs do have good quality. An issue to this is that it is illegal. Downloading pirated goods are not so different from shoplifting or stealing. These goods have owners which the owners are willing to sell them but we who download them illegally are just taking them for granted. Another issue is that if this continues then the companies will not make as much many as before. This of course would affect the artists, celebrities, directors etc., directly. It can cause problems with jobs. If those people do not make money, then there would be no jobs. There are many jobs in the entertainment business which can be destroyed by this issue. Explain two possible solutions to this kind of piracy. One possible solution is to make it legal to download pirated goods. It may be the best solution possible at this moment. Many people are agreeing that it should be legal when it comes to downloading pirated goods. The enterta

US water facility 'was shut down by hackers' - Telegraph - 17 views

  •  
    How was the attack done? How did they know an attack happened? Why is this an important issue? Describe a possible solution. all nov 23 Chut
  •  
    How was the attack done? The hackers were able to obtain credentials from a company that makes software used to control the industrial systems. How did they know an attack happened? They knew that there was an attack because one of the pumps that is used to deliver water to the city was turned off. Why is this an important issue? This is an important issue because it indicates the amount of attention the United States government is giving to cyber-attacks. A terrorist attack like the one happened on September 9th 2001 can be said to be the faults of those who were monitoring the cyber activity. If the government aren't able to connect the dots to why they are doing this and the patterns of the attacks it might cause the US to be under attack like what happened over ten years ago. Describe a possible solution. Since that the credential software are saved on the clients' server, the employees can do a part in protecting the software. The staffs can help support the software.

BBC News - Why going online on smartphones can be costly - 15 views

  •  
    Why might smart phones be costly? Explain two possible solutions. all Nov 23 Tik
  •  
    Smart phones could be costly because it's download, upload and connect to the network almost all the time. People that use smart phones and don't have good deals or promotions,and people use data more than they think, so the phone company can cost the data that we download, upload with the network, and smart phones can do many thing that use a lot of data and it will cost a lot of money, for example sending 10 photos it's take 10MBand watch video on youtube it will take 15MB per video, etc. In this case the solutions are that users should make sure that they get the right deal or promotion, that they won't get a big bill in the end of the month. Secondly, there are people that use unlimit promotion, but every deal have a gap, so the phone company should tell their customers, or send the users a messages to warning them that they used data more than the deal they got.

How Does Google Rank Websites? - 14 views

  •  
    Explain how Google's algorithm works. Why is it hard to rank high? all nov 9 johny
  •  
    The Google algorithm is also called as page ranking. Page Rank depends on the outstandingly democratic nature of the web via to enormous link structure as the sign of the values for each individual page. Google would understand a page A to page B as vote; it would look noticeably more at links age receiver and the sheer volume of votes. It would analyze what you are searching for and it would pick pages the most important page from the rest of the file that is relevant to your topic. Sometimes important pages wont answer you question. That's why Google page rank is combined with complicated text matching techniques to find the page that is important and similar to your question. Google does more then searching pages that has a match to your question it would examine the feature of the page content (satisfied) and that it would decide that is this page is a good match of your question. Because many websites don't have the possibilities to get highly ranked, because they also need to compete with other websites that comes from the company and they got millions of back links. For example you want to make a website about selling second hand stuff. When your going to try to search about second hand stuff it would directly show you E-Bay because it more popular and it has more views. The websites that you may been searching for must be on the 15 page or more then that because the web may have not enough back links or even none.
