    Computer science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Computer science has many sub-fields; some, such as computer graphics, emphasize the computation of specific results, while others, such as computational complexity theory, study the properties of computational problems. Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to describing computations, while computer programming applies specific programming languages to solve specific computational problems, and human-computer interaction focuses on the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable, and universally accessible to people.

    Kylin operating system "impenetrable"

    china has almost completed the installation of what it calls an impenetrable operating system that will work with key government and military servers. That puts them ahead of our government in this department, which is worrisome given that they've already started to hack everything we've got.

    Including Berkeley's student records; they harvested 163,000 accounts with personal info. Great....

    Quoted: Kylin's existence was disclosed to Congress during recent hearings that included new details on how Beijing is preparing to wage cyberwarfare with Washington.
