I have also read quite a few non-fictional books like The Biography of Woodrow Wilson by John M. Cooper, and The Innocent Man by John Grisham. Nowadays, I typically read historical and fantasy…

Fred Brooks is the first recipient of ACM Allen Newel Award. This award is presented as a token of honour to the individuals for their contributions in bridging Computer Science with other disciplines. In the article “The Computer Scientist as Toolsmith – II”, Brooks has given the opinion that Computer Science is probably not the best name that is coined for the discipline of computers which deals with solving problems for the users. Explaining the core difference between Science and Engineering…

Without doubt, quantum computing manifests its superiority over using conventional p-n junctions in a typical desktop computer. Quantum computers, through superposition entanglement, can simultaneously calculate all possible solutions in a D-wave processor, rendering them indispensable for solving computer paradoxes, such as P=NP, developed by physicist Kurt Godel to solve the NP-complete in quadratic and linear time. However, quantum computer’s cryptographic systems in their D-wave processers…

1. How would you describe the architecture Dr.Schadt users to do his research? Dr. Schadt utilizes Amazon's cloud Computing while he was on the airplanes to do his work. After the airplane landed, he already has the information he needed to present.
