Can I write a module for SmokeDetector that wires it to my house's fire alarm system? Please? I'm totally willing to do this. — Emrakul 4 mins ago

I can't see how that would be useful.

But this is the direction that would be useful. Sort of.

Or, your way. "See Mom? I told you that you were wrong when you said the house would burn down around me and I wouldn't notice. Smokey told me"

@1999 I found a better way into Graduate school...take the first few classes as an At Large student and prove your good grades. When you finally have to declare your intentions (mine was 4 courses in), simply ask to be admitted and show your grades in the courses so far. Much less stressful.

@bjb568 Doesn't say everything is assured. But, that is the terminology the industry has adopted. The course work covers protection of the integrity, nonrepudiation, authenticity, availability and confidentiality of data (both user and network wide). That's what helps to "assure" information
