How can you report a hacking?

Usually the first step is to contact your ISP who will work on tracing the hacker. This usually means they will get the hackers IP and find out what ISP owns that particular address and then make contact with that ISP providing details of the attack and request the details of the customer who was using that IP address at the time of the attack.

However usually hackers will get off easily. It's no problem tracing the computer that was used for the attack, but actually pinning somebody to the computer is the hard part. If its a school or library or internet cafe or some other public computer then you have little hope.

If it goes to a house, then you have to figure out which family member it was, big brother or little brother? And even if you know which one it was (because the other doesn't have the knowledge) you still have to pin him to the computer and you can rest assured his parents are not going to help you.

If it goes back to a house that has wireless internet, now you have to take neighbours and anyone who may have parked outside the house.

Is there anyway to connect a laptop to a desktop PC to use the monitor for the PC if so how?

The first thing you need is to check your connections cable, you'll need a VGA, DVI or HDMI cable to transmit the signal from your laptop to the monitor. (You can use the cable from the desktop PC)

VGA is usually a blue cable, DVI is white, but looks a bit like VGA, and HDMI is a small black cable (sometimes golden in the end).

Remember: HDMI also allow sound transfer.

When you know which cable you're using, then you should just plug it in the computer when you can see your desktop, then in the monitor, and it will work.

If the cable can't be plugged in, you'll need an adapter.

You can find pictures of the cables/adapters by searching on Google images

How positive and negative transform into binary?

If a memory location is to contain a signed integer, then it will have a sign bit (zero means positive, one means negative). Also the negative numbers are represented by a complement (normally the two's complement). The article in the related link does a good explanation.

What this means: for example, an 8 bit location could represent 256 possible numbers. In an unsigned situation, this would be 0 to 255. But in a signed situation, the range is -128 to +127.

How many levels of processing in the encoding process?

There are generally three levels of processing in the encoding process: structural, phonemic, and semantic. The structural level involves recognizing the physical structure of words, the phonemic level pertains to the sound of the words, and the semantic level focuses on the meaning of the information. Deeper levels of processing, such as semantic encoding, typically lead to better retention and recall compared to more superficial levels.
