[honky tonk]

What chapter does this fall under?

 

[L7]

yeah i got no idea what your talking about? is it to do with communications?

 

[JRasnier]

its from the communications chapter..

A remote directory is that like from a file server or mainframe, where ur accesing files from a computer other then the one ur using....

A local directory is just that local, from ur computer, such as your computers harddrive, or cdrom....

 

[*hopeful*]

thanx

so remote file is like from the net ?

 

[rx72c]

Yes that is correct, remote means not on your computer and on any other computer in a network or on the internet.

 

[honky tonk]

[rx72c]

DDS, which chapter is that. please say what it actually is.

 

[JRasnier]

i think he means DSS, A decision support system are information systems that are used to AID the user in decision making....remember they AID, man i know the spelling is wrong but cant think of the spelling of it, its important cause ppl think that DSS make the decisions for u...

In-depth but shallow? Quick but slow? Complex but simple?

Make your mind up.

lucky these 2 units aren't counting towards my UAI as my results in my other 10 units are 101x better than ipt...

should of dropped this a long time ago!!!

 

[hurrotisrobbo]

Not four. Just have one in your mind, if you can think of one. There's one in chapter 4, but it's rubbish. Use it if you have to.

I don't have the book here, being ex-HSC, but you can ask specific questions. Sorry.


(Edit - typo.)

 

[pan3dol]

please help me to understand the communication part

i still have fairly poor ideas in the router, hub, switches and gateway concepts... how can we apply those in real scenarios???

 

[hurrotisrobbo]

Ok, I'll start from the ground and work upwards:

Hub - allows multiple computers to talk to eachother on a Local Area Network. 'Dumb' - anything it receives it retransmits to all the other computers attached to it.

Switch - a 'smart' hub: it only retransmits messages to the destination, not everyone else.

Router - a switch that allows LANs to be connected together.

Gateway - Provides a 'bridge' from one network to another (eg. LAN to WAN (internet)).
