Technical Knowledge of SCSU BCIS Professors
March 20, 2007
In my continuing SCSU rants series, I present to you a question that appeared on a recent quiz given by my BCIS professor...
2. Every time you download a file from a Web site or attach files to e-mail, you are using an ____ application.Comment on the flaws, I want to see how long it takes you guys to pick them out.a. TCP
b. NNTP
c. FTP
d. POP
Update: Wow. This is a quote from the book; "Every time you download a file from a Web site or attach files to e-mail, you are using an FTP application. The file transmitted can be of any type: text, graphics, animation, or sound. FTP is embedded in browsers and therefore is 'transparent to the users'.". Oh wow. Another choice quote; "Music lovers can use FTP to download music files.".

Isn't TCP some sort of hallucinative drug?

I'm sure it's written somewhere in the textbook that it is. I'm also sure that it lists the definition of the Internet as; "A series of tubes". My stupid emissions are going to skyrocket, I believe we need James to relate Arnie's definition of a "Black Body of Stupid".
