PROGRAMING LANGUAGE

WHAT IS FIFTH-GENERATION PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE (5GL)

5GL is a programming language based around solving problems using constraints given to the program, rather than using an algorithm written by a programmer. Most constraint-based and logic programming languages and some declarative languages are fifth-generation languages. Fifth-generation languages are used mainly in artificial intelligence research. Prolog, OPS5, and Mercury are the best known fifth-generation languages.

BENEFIT OF 5GL

• Most logic and constraint based programming languages fall under the 5 GL umbrella
• Allows the computer to independently work on a given program without the assistance of a separate set of code, created specifically for the purpose.
• Accomplish more with less effort than in other languages of earlier generations; most efficient way to program for reasons of platform architecture limitations, OS dependencies and compiler availability
• It also may have other drawbacks that mean it can't be reliably used in some mission critical software.
• Appropriate to the project being coded. For example, assembly language; a second generation language, is appropriate in embedded applications where data storage and timing are in need of exact control. C is a "no-brainer" if you intend to use the Win32 API since it is its native language, so to speak.

DATA ORGANIZATION

KEY FIELD

WHAT IS KEY FIELD

• A Key Field or Primary Key is the field in a record that uniquely identifies each record

EXAMPLE OF KEY SECURITY

1. Social Security Number
2. Student Identification Numbers
3. Employee Identification Numbers
4. National Identification Numbers

How Social Security Numbers Work

• As each SSN is unique, the number's initial record-keeping role for the worker and the government to track Social Security entitlements, broadened.
• The nine-digits of the SSN are divided into three parts, each separated by a hyphen. 
• The first three digits, the area numbers, are based upon the zip code in the applicant's mailing address on the original application form. 
• The second two numbers are the group numbers, ranging from 01 to 99, which serve to break the SSNs with the same area numbers into more manageable blocks. 
• The final four digits of the SSN, the serial numbers, run consecutively from 0001 to 9999 within each group designation.

SOICIAL SECURITY IN MALAYSIA

The Social Security Organization (SOCSO) provides social security protection by social insurance including medical and cash benefits, provision of artificial aids and rehabilitation to employees to reduce the sufferings and to provide financial guarantees and protection to the family.

 STUDENT IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS 

                A student number is the number assigned to a student upon first entering or registering with an educational institution and is used to identify the student in lieu of a name for grades, essays, projects, exams and official documents.

               For Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)students their Matrix Card start with 'A' for undergraduate intake student but for direct intake student start with 'B'. H for Degree student. Master student's matrix card number start with 'M'. For UTMKL student their matrix number starte with AD, D for Diploma student.

              For example, BH100063; B for direct intake student; H for Degree; 10  for Academic Year when the number was issued, it refer to 2010; last 4 digit is refer to individual number issued in the order of enrollment.

EMPLOYEE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a nine-digit number that IRS assigns in the following format:

XX-XXXXXXX. It is used to identify the tax accounts of employers and certain others who have no employees. However, for employee plans, an alpha (for example, P) or the plan number (e.g., 003) may follow the EIN. 

The IRS uses the number to identify taxpayers that are required to file various business tax returns. EINs are used by employers, sole proprietors, corporations, partnerships, non-profit associations, trusts, estates of decedents, government agencies, certain individuals, and other business entities. 

NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

            In Malaysia, a 12-digit number (format: YYMMDD-SS-###G, since 1991) known as the National Registration Identification Card Number (NRIC No.) is issued to citizens and permanent residents on a MyKad. Prior to January 1, 2004, a separate social security (SOCSO) number (also the old IC number in format 'S#########', S denotes state of birth or country of origin (alphabet or number), # is a 9-digit serial number) was used for social security-related affairs.

           The first group of numbers (YYMMDD) are the date of birth. The second group of numbers (SS) represents the place of birth of the holder - the states (01-13), the federal territories (14-16) or the country of origin (60-85) . The last group of numbers (###G) is a serial number in an unidentified pattern which is randomly generated. The last digit (G) is an odd number for a male, while an even number is given for a female. For example 890123-03-7889; indicate that he born in 23 January 1989, in Kelantan, last digit represent that he is male.

internet troubleshooting

 internet troubleshooting

I believe that every single of internet user have problem when they are trying to access internet. Some question that you ask when having Troubleshooting no Internet access or unable to access few websites are :

1.  Why is HTTP access to a particular site slow or failing? 
2. The WAN (Ethernet) Connection to the Internet (ISP) Seems Intermittent or Drops Completely Connection?
3. Network connectivity may fail when you try to use Windows Vista
4. Some Computers Behind the SonicWALL Cannot Connect to the Internet
5. Unable to access certain websites, either slow or completely failing

How you want to solve it. Lot of problem comes out .But, nothing you can do to overcome these problems. 

Tips of internet troubleshooting

Here I want to share tips when you are unable to access certain websites, either slow or completely failing.

1. Check MTU settings on the WAN interface(s).  An incorrect MTU is the most common cause of web   browsing issues.

2. Determine if Content Filter Service (CFS )is blocking the site in question due to policy.  Make sure that CFS is not being used. Ensure that the Security Services log category is configured for logging on the Log > Categories configuration screen . You must modify the categories or create a domain exclusion to allow the traffic.

3. Determine if CFS is blocking due to lack of host header in the first HTTP packet.  CFS checks the hostname listed in the HTTP Host header to determine the category of the site in question.  You must toggle the "Enforce Host Tag Search for CFS" setting on the diag.html page of the management GUI.  It is recommended that you contact SonicWALL Technical Support for assistance with this operation 

4. Check whether Enable HTTP Byte-Range requests with Gateway AV  the SonicWALL GAV by default  suppresses the use of HTTP Byte-Range requests to prevent the sectional retrieval and reassembly of the potentially malicious content. This is done by terminating the connection and thus preventing the user from receiving the malicious payload. By enabling this option you will override this setting.

Don’t forget to try this tip when you are unable to access the certain websites.

Communication and Networks

Data transmission include bandwidth and protocol.

       BANDWIDTH use to measure the capacity of the channel. Bandwidth can be categories to four part, that is :

• 1.       Voice band

• 2.       Medium band

• 3.       Broadband

• 4.       Baseband

                            

                                         

 

                    

 Broadband is widely used for Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), cable and satellite connection to the Interned. Several user can simultaneously use a single broadband connection for higher-speed data transfer. Most popular broadband in Malaysia are TMnet Streamyx, Maxis, Celcom, Digi and U-mobile. The latest one is P1 4G.

Let make comparison between all Malaysia broadband service provider. I try to rank it according to my experience and others friends experience by using different type of broadband provider.

First , DIGI

DiGi have great improvement. What can I see for last two year many using Celcom broadband. But starting end 2010 lot of student change to DiGi. DiGi offer value such as a low price and better speed just like other broadband was but they did a lot of improvements. They improve in consistency in speed, no contract anymore, subscribe and customer owned modem,etc.

Second , Celcom

For last time when people asking which the best broadband in Malaysia, they were say that Celcom. But not for now days, the values offered by Celcom are considered “old-fashioned” and the promotions are still radically not shown an big improvement. In certain time, you might find yourself trapped in the lost connection or somewhat unavailable service. You will also be surprise when you are paying the bill, they have lot of hidden charge that not been mansion. but Celcom separate location is still good, you still get the connection even in small village.

Third , TMnet Streamyx

Although there are too many promotions and advertisements, Streamyx fall down to number three. Reason why people like use Streamyx because they give free notebook and laptop. This cool, not all broadband provider can do so. Streamyx is a great companion when you are not traveling around a lot. It will become trouble for you to access it away from your home or wireless modem. As Streamyx is always consist of a few problems, that are mostly on inconsistency of internet speed and broad restrictions on your internet activities.

Fourth, Maxis

For me those using Maxis is those who don’t care about the value that they have to pay, as long as they can use the internet services that was enough. 

Whatever type of Broadband service provider that you use, make sure that you will get satisfaction and try to choose suitable broadband provider.
