    The defense request for full discovery of digital evidence applies only to criminal cases in the United States.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The defense request for full discovery of digital evidence applies only to criminal cases in the United States because in criminal cases, the accused has the right to access all evidence that the prosecution plans to present in court. This includes digital evidence such as emails, text messages, or surveillance footage. In civil cases, the rules of discovery may vary, and the defense may not have the same level of access to digital evidence. Therefore, the statement is true.

    On a Linux computer, ____  is the path for the first partition on the primary master IDE disk drive.

    • /dev/hdb1

    • /dev/sda1

    • /dev/hda1

    • /dev/ide1

    Correct Answer
    A. /dev/hda1
    Explanation
    The correct answer is /dev/hda1. This is because in Linux, the naming convention for IDE drives starts with /dev/hd, followed by a letter indicating the drive and a number indicating the partition. In this case, "a" represents the primary master IDE disk drive and "1" represents the first partition on that drive. Therefore, /dev/hda1 is the correct path for the first partition on the primary master IDE disk drive.
