Computer Engineering

1. Although most of the time we think of “control” as having to do with controlling a physical system, there is no such limitations in the concept as initially presented by Dr. Zadeh.

2. Reading much of the rest of this book and other publications on the subject will be helpful for a fuller understanding.

3. With the help of computer, modeling and optimizing the basic matching networks for a desired performance is attainable.

4. Documenting this fact will keep the issue in the minds of the modeling team and will probably prevent serious incongruities between the models.

5. Erwin will not let you bring a foreign key into an entity more that once without unifying the like columns.

6. A free-flow of information not only reduces the chances of misunderstanding and wasted effort, but also ensures that all team members can contribute to reducing uncertainties surrounding the project.

7. You can also enter the Full Screen Mode by clicking the button on the far right of the toolbox.

8. Before using an extension a program must first determine its availability, and then obtain pointers to any new functions the extension defines.

9. The ordered terms should stand in the document separately, instead of being a part of other chains of symbols.

10. Extracting it from the expert in a way that can be used by a computer is generally a difficult task, requiring its own expertise.

11. Versions of the virtual machines are written for various computer platforms, and application written for the virtual machines can be operated on any of the platforms, instead of having to produce separate versions of the application for each computer and operating system.

12. For instance, when creating a new user or installing new software, the preferred way of obtaining root access is by switching user ID.

13. If you generated a component wrapper for your object, writing your COM client application is not very different from writing any other application that contains VCL components.

14. The computer imposes a form of instrumental thinking onto its user.

15. The computer also limits education to the single experience of pressing keys in response to images on a VDU, atrophying other human senses.

16. Using a telephone wire to transfer information is a rather expensive luxury.

17. Using two high-frequency signals enables harmonic and inter-modulation products to be investigated.

18. Reducing the size of a bitmap distorts the original image, because pixels are removed to reduce the overall image size.

19. Building an expert system therefore first involves extracting the relevant knowledge from the human expert.

20. Updating the system shouldn’t involve rewriting a whole lot of code.

Information Security

1. Security is concerned with issues of testing your software and hardware, and with presenting user mistakes.

2. More sophisticated security methods include limiting data access by requiring the user to have an encoded card or to supply an identification number or password.

3. Network security reduces the risk of connecting to a network.

4. Providing network security is a balancing act between open access and security.

5. One of the most important network security tasks is developing a network security policy.

6. Preventing your system from becoming a tool of evil is an important reason for protecting it.

7. The benefit of connecting individual work-stations and small servers to the Internet generally overweighs the chance of having service interrupted for the individuals and small groups served by these systems.

8. Security planning (accessing the threat, assigning security responsibilities, and writing a security policy) is the basic building block of network security.

9. Subnets are a possible tool for distributing network control.

10. A virus attaches to another program and propagates by copying itself to new machines via that program.

11. Securing network infrastructure is like securing possible entry points of attacks on a country by deploying appropriate defense.

12. Computer security is more like providing means to protect a single PC against outside intrusion.

13. The settings available on Facebook include the ability to block certain individuals from seeing your profile.

14. The process of profiling (also known as "tracking") assembles and analyzes several events, each attributable to a single originating entity.

15. By connecting to the numeric IP address, rather than the domain name, spyware may bypass this sort of protection.

16. The first step to removing the virus (spyware) is to put your computer on "lockdown."

17. By breaking the system up into smaller components, the complexity of individual components is reduced, opening up the possibility of using techniques such as automated theorem proving to prove the correctness of crucial software subsystems.

18. Capabilities achieve their objective of improving system security by being used in place of forgeable references.

19. Giving out confidential information over the telephone is a breach of confidentiality if the caller is not authorized to have the information.

20. Ensuring confidentiality of your data means to effectively protect sensitive and private information of any kind, stored on and transmitted over systems that are connected to the Internet, from being accessed by any external party.

21. Assuring availability on your network means to protect your communicational form of a guaranteed minimum bandwidth and impenetrable functionality of processes which use remote data transmission.

22. If you rely on security levels, it is mandatory to prevent your system from loading the operating system after being rebooted without user interaction at the console.

23. Establishing security at system kernel level means to achieve optimal control, stability, and predictability of low level system events.

24. One of the big security weaknesses of systems exposed to the Internet are remote vulnerabilities of network demons which can be exploited without even having finished the authentication stage of a service.

25. In some cases, the risk can be transferred to another business by buying insurance or out-sourcing to another business.
