That conversation took place when a gentleman I know was trying to buy a smartphone. He had been delighted to know that there were phones running Windows and had gone to a store hoping to buy one.

All of today’s top tier Android smartphones use chips that have 28 nanometer transistors. In order for tomorrow’s smartphones to go faster, those transistors need to shrink. Why? Because the smaller a transistor is, the less power it consumes, and the less heat is puts out. So what comes after 28 nanometers? According to EE Times, the answer is 20 nanometers, but that hasn’t stopped TSMC from announcing that they’re going to start getting ready to make 16 nanometer chips by the end of 2013....

Decryption is the process of converting encrypted data to plaintext. Basically, it is the reverse of encryption. It is used to decrypt the encrypted data so that only an authorized user can access and read the data. The authorized user uses a pre-shared secret key for converting encrypted data to plaintext. Difference between encryption and decryption Encryption algorithms There are many algorithms available for encryption and decryption. A few algorithms are symmetric, while others are asymmetric....

So, basically what is Ransomware? Ransomware is a noxious program that resembles a PC infection. It’s intended to filter your hard drives and encode the greatest number of documents as it can, this leaves the client unfit to open their critical records and information. The records are in fact still there, and you need to pay a total (the payoff) to open and access your unique documents. Ransomware was the most impending danger of 2016, demonstrated FBI reports....

As a result, the training can challenge students in their pursuit of completing an online computer science degree, certificate, or bootcamp. Yet, this also helps make the training and the acquired skill set specialized and valuable, leading to some very promising computer science jobs. While the training can be rigorous, many schools help students design a schedule that progresses logically and limits the number of heavy workload courses taken at the same time, such as programming courses....
