When a bit is turned on, it represents a "1". When it is turned off, it represents a "0". The exact value depends on where the bit is within the byte it is part of.

In the binary number 0000 0001, the last bit is set to 1 and represents the number 1.

In the binary number 0000 0010, the second to last bit is set to 1, which corresponds to the "2's" place relative to decimal numbers.

In the binary number 0000 1000, the bit that is set to 1 represents the value "8" in decimal numbers.

To prevent and stop computer crashing, you have to avoid overheating. We all know that if the computer is being running too long, the CPU will become very hot. Hence, some of the hardware will become too hot and fail to respond, which results in the unexpected computer crashes. So do remember to let your computer have a break if it is running for a long time and place your computer into a well-ventilated room, and check your fan is always working well.

Secondly, guard your PC from spyware attacks. Spyware refers to any technology that is specifically developed to silently collect your personal or private information for illegal profits. Once your computer has been compromised by spyware, it starts to damage your system and try to gather your personal or commercial information from the disk and then transfer it to pre-defined remote servers. In addition, spyware can secretly track your online activities and browser behaviors for obtaining your login credentials to online bank account or credit card account. You should not miss this aspect when trying to fix computer freezing or suffering from some other errors like serms.dll error or error 80028EA1.

Also, you can re-install any software causing the computer crashing problem. The main cause of errors is going to be through the "software" of your PC. This is basically all the programs that your system will be using to run, and will likely be the fact that a specific application will be causing all the issues your PC may have. The good news is that re-installing any corrupted / damaged software on your computer will allow Windows to run much smoother - which can be done by following these steps:

* Click "Start"

* Locate "Control Panel"

* Click on "Add / Remove Programs"

* Locate the program causing problems

* Click "Remove"

* Restart your PC

Suppose you have two users A and B who can access your computer.You login to user account A and does some work.Now it may be possible that A account has limited user priviledges.So you LOG OFF user A and goes to user B.Logging off just shutdown one user and gives you option to work with another.If you wish to use both users without closing programs on any of them than you can use the option SWITCH USERS

Patch Tuesday (or Black Tuesday) is the second Tuesday of every month. It is the day that Microsoft releases new patches for the Windows operating system & other Microsoft products. Patches are released via the OS's "Window's Update" application.

It depends which country you are in. Some repairs they need to look in your hard drive to find a corruption or virus this doesn't give them carte blanche to view family pics or read your email

In some countries if whilst repairing your computer they come across files which may not be lawful then they may have to report it

A Degradation of Service attack is just a Denial of Service attack that doesn't completely overwhelm the target. It is subjective as to the point at which the degradation is so severe that it constitutes a full blown Denial of Service attack.

Three confidentiality levels are used in DIACAP:

Public

Sensitive

Classified

Historically, information security solutions have focused on preventing external threats such as viruses, hackers and worms through perimeter solutions that include firewalls and antivirus software. While still aware of outside threats, companies are now coming to understand they can no longer ignore inside violations concerning data at rest. So information security and privacy is of atmost importance whether it is internal or external.

Today's employees are able to easily export sensitive files and information via email or by copying to file shares and portable media without concerning about data security and data privacy. Many companies simply do not have the resources or appropriate policies in place to identify NPI and PII and avoid inadvertent, accidental mis-steps or malicious actions from within. As companies continue to accumulate NPI and PII, they are under enormous pressure to mitigate risk and to provide data security to sensitive information before an undesirable loss occurs. Whether you call it data security, Content Loss Prevention or simply Information Security solutions & Privacy, the time has come to take steps to protect your company's data privacy.

Deployed in under 30 minutes, the Kazeon's Information Server i.e. information security solutions system discovers sensitive information contained in emails and files regardless of physical or logical location.

For a laptop yes, it may overheat. The fans tend to be on the bottom of the laptop itself and kind of defeats the purpose of the name "laptop" because they advise you not to put on soft surfaces such as blankets or sometimes even your lap.

No it does not the warenty with dell is for physical properties of the computer not virtual so if you fry the graphics card then they will replace it now on the other hand if you used 3rd party software and overclocked anything then no they will not replace it. however i will also say downloading anything from torrents are dangerous and there not illegal to download but illegal to use in US but to download an operating system is the worst thing you can do you never know what the seeder has done to the OS software. also if you want a safe version to use sign up for Microsoft technet and they should have an evaluation version that's good from 90 to 180 days and if u can crack a key then. than its safe

It IS possible - and has been done in the past. However by 'a lot of emails' you would be talking about many hundreds of thousands sent simultaneously. You would need the co-operation of thousands of people, all sending at precisely the same time in order for such a cyber-attack to have any effect. Bear in mind, though, any such attack would be illegal - and every perpetrator would eventually be traced.

This depends on the kind of BIOS protection, and the other BIOS settings. The BIOS is not actually on the harddrive, so this is potentially possible.

If the BIOS is only protected from changes to it's settings, then you can try booting to removable media (CD, DVD, Flashdrive, etc.) which has the option to format a drive, and format it from there. OS install disks usually have this option, as well as boot disks like UBCD and Bart PE.

If the BIOS is protecting the system from booting up, then you will probably need to remove the harddrive and plug it into another computer to complete this task. There should be no password prompt once it is in the other computer.

IF the BIOS protection is locking the actual harddrive, then you will probably need to clear the password first. If you do not know the password, then you will need to try to break in (assuming is is actually your computer). This can be difficult, but there are programs which can make it easier. One such program is on the UBCD.

Deep packet filtering first examines the data part (and possibly also the header) of a packet as it passes an inspection point, searching for protocol non-compliance, viruses, spam, intrusions or predefined criteria to decide if the packet can pass or if it needs to be routed to a different destination, or for the purpose of collecting statistical information. This differs from "stateful packet inspection" (shallow filtering) where only the type of traffic and possibly the source and destination are inspected, not the contents of the traffic.

Change your password often, and make sure it's strong (mix of letters, numbers, and caps).

FTP is a TCP based service exclusively. There is no UDP component to FTP. FTP is an unusual service in that it utilizes two ports, a 'data' port and a 'command' port (also known as the control port). Traditionally these are port 21 for the command port and port 20 for the data port. The confusion begins however, when we find that depending on the mode, the data port is not always on port 20.

In active mode FTP the client connects from a random unprivileged port (N > 1023) to the FTP server's command port, port 21. Then, the client starts listening to port N+1 and sends the FTP command PORT N+1 to the FTP server. The server will then connect back to the client's specified data port from its local data port, which is port 20. From the server-side firewall's standpoint, to support active mode FTP the following communication channels need to be opened: * FTP server's port 21 from anywhere (Client initiates connection) * FTP server's port 21 to ports > 1023 (Server responds to client's control port) * FTP server's port 20 to ports > 1023 (Server initiates data connection to client's data port) * FTP server's port 20 from ports > 1023 (Client sends ACKs to server's data port)

In order to resolve the issue of the server initiating the connection to the client a different method for FTP connections was developed. This was known as passive mode, or PASV, after the command used by the client to tell the server it is in passive mode. In passive mode FTP the client initiates both connections to the server, solving the problem of firewalls filtering the incoming data port connection to the client from the server. When opening an FTP connection, the client opens two random unprivileged ports locally (N > 1023 and N+1). The first port contacts the server on port 21, but instead of then issuing a PORT command and allowing the server to connect back to its data port, the client will issue the PASV command. The result of this is that the server then opens a random unprivileged port (P > 1023) and sends the PORT P command back to the client. The client then initiates the connection from port N+1 to port P on the server to transfer data. From the server-side firewall's standpoint, to support passive mode FTP the following communication channels need to be opened: * FTP server's port 21 from anywhere (Client initiates connection) * FTP server's port 21 to ports > 1023 (Server responds to client's control port) * FTP server's ports > 1023 from anywhere (Client initiates data connection to random port specified by server) * FTP server's ports > 1023 to remote ports > 1023 (Server sends ACKs (and data) to client's data port)
