In 2011, Watson competed on the television quiz show Jeopardy! as a test of its abilities. In a two-game, combined-point match aired in three Jeopardy! episodes running from February 14–16, Watson bested Brad Rutter, the biggest all-time money winner on Jeopardy!, and Ken Jennings, the record holder for the longest championship streak. Watson received first prize of $1 million, while Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter received $300,000 and $200,000, respectively. Jennings and Rutter pledged to donate half their winnings to charity, while IBM divided Watson’s winnings among two charities. This was the first man-versus-machine competition in Jeopardy!‘s history.

Watson had access to 200 million pages of structured and unstructured content consuming 4 terabytes of hard disk storage.

**Lossless data compression is a class of data compression algorithms that allows the exact original data to be reconstructed from the compressed data. The term lossless is in contrast to lossy data compression, which only allows an approximation of the original data to be reconstructed, in exchange for better compression rates.

**“lossy” compression is a data encoding method which discards (loses) some of the data, in order to achieve its goal, with the result that decompressing the data yields content that is different from the original, though similar enough to be useful in some way. Lossy compression is most commonly used to compress multimedia data (audio, video, still images), especially in applications such as streaming media and internet telephony.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol, specified in the IEEE Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) standard, 802.11b, that is designed to provide a wireless local area network (WLAN) with a level of security and privacy comparable to what is usually expected of a wired LAN.

WPA:

Wi-Fi Protected Access  is a certification program developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to indicate compliance with the security protocol created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks. The Alliance defined the protocol in response to several serious weaknesses researchers had found in the previous system, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).The WPA protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard. The Wi-Fi Alliance intended WPA as an intermediate measure to take the place of WEP pending the preparation of 802.11i. Specifically, the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), was brought into WPA.

WPA2:

Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 provides network administrators with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can access the network. Based on the ratified IEEE 802.11i standard, WPA2 provides government grade security by implementing the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS 140-2 compliant AES encryption algorithm. WPA2 can be enabled in two versions – WPA2 – Personal and WPA2 – Enterprise. WPA2 – Personal protects unauthorized network access by utilizing a set-up password. WPA2 – Enterprise verifies network users through a server. WPA2 is backward compatible with WPA.

open wireless connection:

A wireless network is more vulnerable, because anyone can try to break into a network.

to get to the golden circle (:

2) Who or what were the things that could stop you (the player) from reaching the goal?

3) How was scoring achieved?

by passing the level

yes

5) Did you enjoy the game? (1-10, 1 being the least likely and 10 being the most likely.)

10! except the last level is hard

-About 77 percent of Canadians live in cities and towns.

-More than 9 million Canadians speak French.

I am proud of Canada because we won gold in ice hockey during the Winter Olympics. I also love the freedom and how there are so many different ethnic groups and religions and we all seem to be able to get along, for the most part. Canada is truly a beautiful country.

Android phones can do everything an Apple iPhone can do and more. The iPhone was a base for the Android phones, but the new technology has taken mobile phones to a whole new level. The Android phone is everything you could possibly need and more and its release will make people forget about the time when they wanted an iPhone. This is the normal process of technology and it happens to the best phones.
