Why is the keyboard calledQWERTY

I believe it is because the arrangement of the first six letters in the top alphabet row of a standard keyboard QWERTY goes way back. The layout was created in 1873 when Christopher Latham Sholes made improvements to his earlier typewriter models in order to design a quicker and more efficient typewriter for E. Remington and Sons.

The standard QWERTY layout keyboard is called 'QWERTY' because on the top line of the keyboard the first 6 letters from chronological left to right order are; Q, W, E, R, T, and Y.

Or...if you're wondering why it's QWERTY and not ABCDEF, it's because when typing with the alphabetical format, many of the keys would clash with each other due to the arrangement of keys on the original typewriter. The QWERTY layout became so popular, it was the standardized layout for typewriters, and even keyboards today.

Who was responsible for unleashing the melissa computer virus
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

David L. Smith

Explanation:

Around March 26, 1999, the Melissa virus was released by David L. Smith

‘Melissa.A’ used social engineering techniques, since it came with the message “Here is the document you asked me for…  do not show it to anyone”. In just a few days, she starred in one of the most important cases of massive infection in history, causing damage of more than 80 million dollars to American companies. Companies like Microsoft, Intel and Lucent Technologies had to block their Internet connections due to its action.

How it Works

When opening a document infected with the ‘Melissa.A’, the virus creates an e-mail with the following features:

Subject: Important Message From “sender name”

Text: Here is that document you asked for … do not show anyone else

Attachments: a file with a DOC.

The recipients of this message were the first 50 addresses ‘Melissa.A’ found in the address book in Outlook. This was the first macro virus that used this technique, until this moment there hadn’t been a virus that affected users by sending a Word document within an email.

What Happened

The creator of ‘Melissa.A’, David L. Smith, pleaded guilty but said he did not expect such high economic damage. This malware was created in memory of a topless dancer in Florida with whom he had fallen in love with.

Smith was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

In the next line, a call stock function is used, in the function, the array is passed as a parameter and in array parameter, the index value that is "2" is passed.
