Abstract

Today, protecting computer from attacker is very easy because computer security programs are easy to use and inexpensive. Security starts with physically securing the computer. Account passwords and a password-protected screen saver should also be set up. A modern antivirus program can easily be installed and configured. File scanning and updating of virus definitions are simple processes that can largely automated and should be performed at least weekly. A software firewall is also essential for protection from outside intrusion. Regular updating of the security features of installed programs is important.

The life scence in the film Baraka is a part that I choose. This scence shows the way of people who live in a big city that the have to do everything in rush time. It compares city life with chicken life. People have to live in a small room, walk in to a subway, and fallow the rule same as chickens that cannot choose the way to go, have to get a barcode, and live in a small cage. This movie send a direct message to us that human and animal have the same life style. Then the movie move to another part of the world that people have a totally life style. In this part, people in this scence have on house or no money. They have to sleep on the street. Also, they have to find things from garbage because they don't have money to buy a new thing or they have no change to get a job. The reaction I feel from looking at this scence is making me feel good that I have a better life than them.

I want to quiz school and go back home.
It is true that you had spent a lot of money for my trip. However, we must consider the cost of  studying Master degree and  living here, which are much higher for the past that you invest it for me, staying in the US is not a good investment. Additionally, going back Thailand and getting a job are better things than study in the US. As you know, I'm getting older every year but I still have nothing. It would be better if I go back to work and save money for my future. 

Summarize

2012 April 15 Severe weather may continue into Sunday after a day of twisters, storms in Midwest, Fox news from www.foxnews.com

Warning of tornadoes from the emergency service of the southeast part of Wichita told the Midwest prepare for the tornadoes. This warning was the biggest warning in history because the emergency service  had warned that the city will got attack from tornadoes more than 24 hours. Because of a very good preparation, the state was destroyed but no one was injured. National Weather Service said that they have to prepare for the worst case that storm will hit at night time. If storm hit at night time, it would be a very bad time. Because it is very hard to help people who are sleeping and have no attention to weather reports or cannot hear sirens. Because of this reason, they had an order to move people to stay at Air Force Base.

This book talks about the way that hackers usually use to attack to networks. This book is related to my research question because it explains how computer security can protect the network form these attacker. Also, it talks about the way that hackers hack the network, so it means computer security needs to update all the time. This book helps me to learn another idea that computer security can not protect system 100%.

According from this article, the writer noticed that today big companies want to hide new generation people to work in a computer security filed. He said hackers changed their styles to hack from defaced a website to breezed past the security systems of the biggest companies to steal important informations. So, the company in the west of England set the activity that called the UK Cyber Security Challenge to find a young new blood. People who join this challenge have to secure the firm's website and network that will attacked by the hackers.

Advice

Deciding to do something can be a hard situation. I had a very hard situation when I decided to change my major from Finance to Computer Science. It took me almost 3 months for this situation. When I had talked to my mom about changing my major before she gave me an advice. Her advice is "do whatever you want, your life have to decide by your own." I think this is the best advice when I need to decide something about myself. When I decide to do something, it dosen't have effect to other people. It will have an effect on me only.
