You install teamviewer on your workstation at home so that you can ac ess it when on the road. how can you be assured that unknown users cant access your computer through team viewer?

Write a program that uses a widgetviewer object to do the following: generate two random integers between 1 and 9 (inclusive). name one of them x, the other y. display them to the user using jlabel objects. create a jlabel object displaying the text "enter an operation number." create a jtextfield for the user's input. create a jbutton displaying the text "press here when you've entered your operation." use addandwait to add it to the widgetviewer object. when the user clicks the jbutton, evaluate operation in the following order to determine the one and only mathematical operation to perform on x and y. use a jlabel to display the result. if operation is between 1 and 10 inclusive, add x and y. if operation is evenly divisible by 4, subtract y from x. if operation is evenly divisible by 5, use integer division to divide y into x. if operation is an even number, use floating point division to divide y into x. if none of the other tests on operation apply, multiply x and y. note: operation can be negative or zero.

Consider a slotted aloha system, where the time slot equals the fixed duration of each packet. assume that there are 4 stations a,b,c,d sharing the medium. (a) stations a,b,c,d receive one packet each from higher layers at times 1.3, 1.5, 2.6,5.7 respectively. show which transmissions take place when, according to the slottedaloha protocol; describe all transmissions until all four packets have been successful.when needed, each station has access to the following sequence of random number, provided by a random number generator and drawn uniformly between 0 and 1: (1) station a draws numbers: 0.31, 0.27, 0.78, 0.9, 0.9, 0.11, 0. (2) station b draws numbers: 0.45, 0.28, 0.11, 0.83, 0.37, 0.22, 0. (3)station c draws numbers: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0. (4) station d draws numbers: 0.36, 0.77, 0.9, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0. (b) in slotted aloha, a station transmits in each time slot with a given probability. what probabilities would you assign to each of the four stations so as to: (i) maximize the efficiency of the protocol? (ii) maximize fairness among the four stations? (c) will the efficiency increase or decrease if we modify slotted aloha as follows: (i) get rid of slots and allow stations to transmit immediately? (ii) implement carrier sensing? (iii) implement collision detection? (iv) implement collision avoidance?
