Unfortunately a lot of people, thinks that design a relational database is something very simple and that anyone that have a pair of classes of Microsoft Access in a academy can dedicate to it. But doesn't occur the same when instead of a database the work is about design a flat, an airplane or a car. In all this cases the people knows that needs an architect, an aeronautic engineer and automobile engineer, respectively. But who has the guilty of this way of think? Don't miss the rest of "Why a database can't be designed by anyone?"

A lot of people think that a computer specialist is someone that knows how use all the software that exists and have been existed on the world, in any operating system of any kind of computer or movile device. Can be an architecture sorftware, photographic retouching, accounting or the management software tailor-made only for his enterprise, don't mind!, as is a computer specialist, has to know use them. So that they think that the computer specialist will answer then they question anything related with them. Fill your mind with "Dumb questions about software"

We can classify the ways that hard disk can breakdown in two: software and hardware. With the first I'm talking about the lost of data due to virus or accidental erasure. In these cases, if it's possible retrieve the information, it is often so cheap because only we have to use the appropriate software. Instead, the errors of hardware or physics are very expensive of repair, because are needed tools and specialized installations and only if the information that contains is enough valuable, can worth pay for it. Don't stop reading the rest of "Repair the hardware of a hard disk"

The processors aren't inmune to the radiactivity. This it produces soft errors, that are errors in the signals of its circuits, produced by the noise that generates the radiation on it. The consequences of the radiation over the machines aren't so devastating as over the human, because in the worst case we can reboot the machine, but the things that could do the machines affected by radiation to the humans, it could be dangerous.
