"If someone really wants to get at the information, it is not difficult if they can gain physical access to the computer or hard drive." - Microsoft White Paper, July 1999. Is this statement categorically true or just true in most cases

)a grad student comes up with the following algorithm to sort an array a[1..n] that works by first sorting the first 2/3rds of the array, then sorting the last 2/3rds of the (resulting) array, and finally sorting the first 2/3rds of the new array. 1: function g-sort(a, n) . takes as input an array of n numbers, a[1..n] 2: g-sort-recurse(a, 1, n) 3: end function 4: function g-sort-recurse(a, `, u) 5: if u ⒠` ≤ 0 then 6: return . 1 or fewer elements already sorted 7: else if u ⒠` = 1 then . 2 elements 8: if a[u] < a[`] then . swap values 9: temp ↠a[u] 10: a[u] ↠a[`] 11: a[`] ↠temp 12: end if 13: else . 3 or more elements 14: size ↠u ⒠` + 1 15: twothirds ↠d(2 ◠size)/3e 16: g-sort-recurse(a, `, ` + twothirds ⒠1) 17: g-sort-recurse(a, u ⒠twothirds + 1, u) 18: g-sort-recurse(a, `, ` + twothirds ⒠1) 19: end if 20: end function first (5 pts), prove that the algorithm correctly sorts the numbers in the array (in increasing order). after showing that it correctly sorts 1 and 2 element intervals, you may make the (incorrect) assumption that the number of elements being passed to g-sort-recurse is always a multiple of 3 to simplify the notation (and drop the floors/ceilings).

Which of the following kinds of programs displays an online advertisement in a banner or pop-up window on webpages, email, or other internet service? e

Write a program that defines symbolic names for several string literals (chars between quotes). * use each symbolic name in a variable definition. * use of symbolic to compose the assembly code instruction set can perform vara = (vara - varb) + (varc - vard); ensure that variable is in unsigned integer data type. * you should also further enhance your symbolic logic block to to perform expression by introducing addition substitution rule. vara = (vara+varb) - (varc+vard). required: debug the disassembly code and note down the address and memory information.
