AP Computer Science Tests - Unfortunately Coming Up!

Stressed and deprived of sleep all my thoughts are devoted to the subject of AP Computer Science. Fighting the urge to deny myself the satisfaction of possibly not having to worry about the test I've always have a differing inner opinion. Knowing that my niche and hobby are computers and computer related topics (programming, troubleshooting, and hardware upgrades) I feel that it is almost a given that I should try to get a "5". Having reviewed the AP Computer Science review book it's becoming very unclear whether my goal is respectively attainable. Obviously having reviewed all the topics that will be covered on the test throughout the year, it is a matter of "studying". Studying as in reviewing almost every topic. Below is a complete list of review topics that I find relevant to at least review:
  • Inheritance
    • Subclasses and super classes (super())
    • UML diagram logical thinking
    • extends and implements commands
    • calling super within a subclass passing parameters
      • Example:  
                public class Dog extends Animal
                {
                     //Initializing Variables
                     private int someVariable;
  
                     //Mixed super & sub Constructor
                     public Dog(String nameOfDog, int weightOfDog);

                     {
                         super(nameOfDog);
                         someVariable = weightOfDog;
                     }
                }
  • ArrayLists and arrays
    • How to initialize ArrayLists's and arrays
    • what length() and length()-1 return 
    • How to handle the ArrayList<Integer> type "<something>" and what it does.
  • Random numbers Math.random() and what it returns and how to manipulate it
  • I still do not understand the basics of an enhanced loop, thus review it!
  • Recursion
    • How to efficiently step through recursive problems.
    • How to think of implementing a design for a recursive call
  • Merge, Insertion, Selection, Bubble, Quick sorts and how their formulas are relative to processing time.
  • How to throw catch, and pass exceptions to other classes through methods.
  • Review String methods, Example: 
          String dilemma = "Mary hit Bob!" 
          dilemma.charAt(7) //prints "t"
          dilemma.substring(3,7) //prints "y hi"
  • Demorgans Law and How <=, >=, >, < are converted to each other.
Well that's  all that I can think of at this moment, there is a lot more to study! Sadly my test is on May 3rd at 7:30am in the Library, 6 days from when this blog is being written (4/26/11). Wish me luck!

New LG Optimus V Cell Phone!

So.... Probably one of the better days of my fabulous Spring Break was that I got a new phone!

My old phone was a blue Verizon something or other, it wasn't very good to say the least. My new phone is a go phone (Virgin Mobile), and is very nice. I set it up with the Best Buy sales associate, and she was very helpful. I also made an unboxing video which will be uploaded shortly, once everyone is asleep. The Optimus is Android 2.2 operated; from my impression I prefer Androids systems over the IPhone. The problem with the IPhone is that everyone has it and that it can only be bought under an outrageous contract. If I were to recommend anyone a cell phone this would be it (here is the link: http://bit.ly/eurgpM). Overall I'm very excited about this and am wanting to see what the result of all these cool applications and mobile features can provide me with.

Creating High Target Email Spamming Systems

 From talking to some people today, I have decided to take my PHP email spammer to the next level.
It is available here for you to test: Spammer
I am going to make a automated script that perhaps will flood unsuspecting victims email inboxes with thousands of emails, in hopes of completely shutting down their gmail accounts.
My idea comes from some previous observations in how Google handles deleted mail. At times I have completely cleared my email inbox, spam box, trash box, and any other inboxes, and still at the footer of gmail it displays that I am still using memory, about 3.106% (235 MB) out of the previously allotted 7,566MB.
Where does the unused memory go?
Well from the recent problems in Google mismanaging users information in regards to them loosing some email data for thousands of users accounts, they somehow recovered it all.
If Google were able to recover all of the users information then that means they store a history of all the users information, regardless if they, "deleted" it. Meaning that the imaginary 3% memory being used is actually Googles compressed and archived version of all your emails. In many ways this can be frightening but pertaining to the subject of swamping someones email inbox, this is the perfect opportunity.
The Math
Sending thousands of emails from my website is a very timely process. To increase the efficiency of mass loading thousands of MB's onto someones account, It will require some automated tasks. Automated tasks include sending emails at night and during the day at an efficent rate, possibly timed seconds per transfer.
How?
As of now I am planing to attach megabytes of information onto each email, possibly in the forms of images or text. The only problem being that I do not know how to automate a PHP script to mass attach images, but I do know how to mass attach text. In terms of creating a 1MB text document, it will be over 1,100,000 characters long. If I can send the emails off with the MB attachments in a timely manner than the only experimental problem is how Google Mail compresses archived emails, in terms of how many MB's I would need to send considering the compression reduces the size of 1MB to the unknown size.

Google's multiple email accordion feature, reporting spam, and deleting emails
Each of these anti-spam features are accounted for in the automated script.
  • Problem: The first one being that gmail automatically groups emails of the same subject title together in an accordion like fashion.
  • The Solution: The solution is to have a number affix to the end of each same subject, the code below is a snippet accomplishing this:
             for($i = 0;$i < $NUM_EMAILS;$i++)
      {
         $subject = $SUBJ_MATTER . " " .$i;
      }
  • Problem: The second problem is the feature of reporting spam, I still need to conduct some experiments as to if Google lets their own service account emails be spam blocked, if not this whole problem can be solved be sending the emails from a cloaked Google service email. The sender email is to randomized by either numbers, or dictionary words.
  • The Solution: The solution to this is to randomize a number or dictionary word onto the senders name part of the email:
      [RANDOM NUMBER OR DICT WORD]@gmail.com
  • Problem and Solution: The last problem is not a problem on my part but a big nuisance for the recipient much less the rest of the discouraging havoc. The problem is the process of deleting all the sent emails. Even if the recipient deletes all the emails the 7566MB space will still archive all the emails in a compressed form, so the space can never be restored.
 
Am I plotting an email attack?
No!!! Nobody should be concerned. This is just what I do in the crazy thought patterns that I go through over the day. I have over 10 gmail testing accounts for the purposes of doing this.

Massive T.V Off Button/Remote, Possible?

I was pondering today in my weirdest of thoughts and came up with an idea to turn off all the T.V.'s in San Diego (where i live). Would it be possible? My thought would be YES!, but technology is changing from the time that I would have to manually enter the code for a remote to recognize the T.V. If I could somehow have a computer cycle through all the codes for remotes and T.V.'s and send out signals miles away, maybe somewhere near you, I could achieve such controlling powers. Of course the antenna on top of my house would have to be hundreds of feet tall. But from this YouTube video of a guy controlling time squares massive advertising T.V.'s I am thinking that my idea is not out of reach:

 

I'm assuming in addition to possibly controlling all the T.V's in San Diego, it would be illegal, but is it possible to track down radio signals, like IP addresses. Please give me your idea, and whether or not it is even worth trying around in my neighborhood, if possible.

Im about to buy a new Laptop, which one should I buy?

With an accumulated total of $500 and $30 in Best Buy certificates I am looking to buy a nice laptop. From browsing the wide variety of laptops at Best Buy I have narrowed down my list to a couple of important specs. Within reason they can be modified but only in moderation. Here is the list:
  • Full sized keyboard with no extra space between keys.
  • Easy to click track pad.
  • Decent picture quality
  • No less than 2GB of RAM
  • No less than 250GB of Hard Drive space - Be careful when looking at the Hard Drive space because a 500GB hard drive might not be the same space when looking at a different 500GB model; the reason being is that PC manufactures began to count 1 kilobyte as 1000 bytes versus the correct computer science model of 1 kilobyte as 1024 bytes (2^32). So a Hard Drive of 500GB could be really only 450GB of space, so pay attention to the small print.
  • No less than an i3 processor
  • Windows 7
I have an HP Slimline desktop that is perfect for my needs, but if I want to sit elsewhere in my house, I cant.


But If I move around with my laptop, I have a separate computer, with none of the files that my desktop computer has. So I have an idea of Networking the two computers together. The only problem is that my laptop will not have constant internet access, so possibly when I get home I can hook the laptop to the desktop and sync them together. Please give any helpful suggestions, as to what type of laptop I should buy or how to go about networking them together.

How do you guys manage to gain PageRank?

Through the year that I have had my website up and running(Tiger Tutorials), I have seen no PageRank increase. Its stayed at a consistent PR0. I have read many posts on how PageRank can be boosted such as this one:
http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-get-a-good-pagerank-2010-4#zero-to-one-1#ixzz1HmQbh5Fz
  • Reformat all your URLs to be human readable and relevant. Prefer /pages/profile/soandso to ?id=2495722485.
  • Add unique keyword and description meta tags to all your pages.
  • Use Google's webmaster tools to see if you have any duplicate meta tags.
  • Use Google Analytics to see where your users are coming from and what it's coming from.
  • Use wordtracker.com to find good keywords to target. Be warned, "never give them your real email address, they will spam the mess out of you."
  • Have a blog to create fresh content, which drives up PageRank.
  • Host your blog on a subdomain (blog.example.com), as a subdomain's PageRank feeds back into the main site. 
 I have fulfilled all of these criteria and still no results are to be awarded. Do you guys have any suggestions? Please share your own experiences.
