    General Thoughts: Information Processes and Technology

    Um am I the only one who put in backups, as that can prevent data loss. If data gets corrupted there will be am alternate file. I also then mentioned RAID systems (striping) so that data is retrieved from different sources or something like that. I was just trying to fill space tbh. I only spent...

    General Thoughts: Information Processes and Technology

    Theses questions are horribly vague as actual transmission speeds really depend on the device, so it could possibly be either. I myself went its Bluetooth as that is more commonly used for data transmission between phones, so I was like hey, there has to be some reason why it's used more...

    General Thoughts: Information Processes and Technology

    Good point about the lack of a modem. Didn't pick up on that. But most of the time I see modem as the last device before connecting to the internet and never as a central node of a network.

    General Thoughts: Information Processes and Technology

    Q19. The parity bit is added to make the total number of ones either odd or even. If you look at the transmitted byte, there are 5 ones in total. Therefore, odd parity is being used. Then it is just a matter of counting the number of ones in all the options. C is the only one with an even number...

    General Thoughts: Information Processes and Technology

    Why WAP over switch? Don't they usually use some zigzag lines to indicate wireless transmission? They had straight lines which I assumed represent cables, so a switch would be appropriate

    Data type question

    Hi I have a question on the text and numeric data types. Here's what I understand Number data type Is only required if you are performing calculations on the data, and it takes up more space than text data type So if field only contains digits, but you don't perform calculations on it, then...

    Multiple choice help

    Thanks for the detailed responses:smile: Yep, I understand now what C meant I had eliminated B and D, but I was thinking of MS Access's design view which is basically a data dictionary which is data describing data. So I ended up picking A. So are user views different from those views in...

    Multiple choice help

    Hi could someone explain this to me. The answer is C Relational databases for a system may have more than one user view of the data. What is the reason for constructing these different views? (A) To implement metadata structures (B) To establish the validity of the data (C) To determine...

    Financial services resources

    Hi guys, Is there anyone else who is doing financial services this year? As you know, resources are hard to come by as it is a new subject. So if anyone else has resources and are willing to share, please do. I have some resources as well, so we can all help each other out. :)
