Phone numbers are not integers. For example, the phone number 000 is not the same as the phone number 0. A phone number is an ordered set of digits. An ordered set of characters -- otherwise called a string -- is a close approximation to an ordered set of digits, and thus would be the most...

You want to do a Bachelor of Computer Science. Don't do an Information Technology degree, these are about the business applications of computing, and are not what you want for games. Now that you know your course, look at the universities which offer it and see what later-year units they...

The fundamental difference is that the web is interactive and e-mail is store-and-forward. Beyond that, an answer needs the context of the question.

Academic libraries don't pay for hard copy journals much anymore. Hard copy takes space, and library space is expensive. Too expensive for a journal which may sit on a shelf for a decade before being borrowed. Most academic libraries subscribe the to full text databases of the major journal...

Technically, no. The point of an application proxy (such as a HTTP proxy or a DNS forwarder) is to relay the traffic between the client and the server. The server sees the traffic as coming from the proxy's IP address, not from the client's IP address. In practice, some proxies insert...

Re: What would you like to see on BOS 2007? There are two issues with university notes and plagiarism and they are worthwhile distinguishing. Firstly, a uni student goes to a lecture, takes word-for-word notes and posts them to BOS. That is both plagiarism (it is not the student's own...

I'm not surprised, I'm a professional network engineer and it has me confused too. The problem with the question is the word "configurations". It could mean "topology" (the graph of interconnected links and equipment) or it could mean "links". I'll assumed the baby talk "can be set up" means...

1) Doesn't take much thought if you've manually calculated a checksum and have a small math aptitude. Parity may fail with a simple two-bit corruption: transmitted: data = 00001111, parity = 0 corrupted: data = 10001111, parity = 1 corrupted again: data = 11001111, parity = 0...

Baud of studies (was: Help) [Caution, I am a network engineer for AARNet, not a teacher. I've no idea what the textbook says. This is the reality.] I so hate the term baud rate, I've no idea why a high school text book would teach it, since it immediately pulls in sophisticated...

There are two aspects to your question. How hard do you need to work to get a particular grade, and do grades count at all? Most people find that uni starts slow. The pace is sedate and the subjects easy, basically revision of Y12. They then get blindsided by either a genuinely tough subject...

Google will find lots of links to The Harvard System of Referencing, and your uni's library will probably have a handout explaining the various styles in depth. The trick with an interview conducted by you (and is not published elsewhere) is that it is a "personal communication" and the...
