... company called Digital Research. In this article it tells a story about the life and death of Gary who was on the brink of discovering untold amounts of unknown digital software for the pc (personal computer). The note on page 14 of the Computer Structure and Logics textbook tells about a time that Digital Research refused an offer from IBM ( and that opened the door for a company called Microsoft which, caused Digital Research to lose in the race of software development. The article on Gary A. Kildall was a very enlightening read. This was a good article because it tells about an intelligent man that created the basis of our pc operating systems today. The software that CP/M / Digital Research created is great and all should know about it Without it we may not have gotten as far as we have with technology today. This article plus the “gray” note on page 14 tells a story about a man who took great interest in his work. When IBM tried to sell him short or give him an offer to work for them he told them that he didn’t like the offer and he turned them down. Well this gave Microsoft a chance to come in and take the deal, but what’s funny about that is Microsoft went and reverse engineered the Digital Research tech and created a copy of it and sold it to IBM. Although at this time no one was charged for any illegal acts (maybe because it was uncommon to be able to do what Microsoft had done). I do feel two different...

...Hypervisors 1 Runner Header: Hypervisors Hypervisors CIS 512 December 16, 2012 Hypervisors 2 In today’s world technology has advance in numerous ways. Technology has given the capabilities to receive, fix, and move objects without being present. This is the concept of virtualization. “Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as an operating system, a server, a storage device or network resources”. The virtualization innovation has assisted companies in a positive way, but also can inflict negative wounds to the organization. Virtualization is a proven software technology that is rapidly transforming the IT landscape and fundamentally changing the way that people compute. The 1960s was when virtualization was first deployed by IBM, itts main purpose was to operate mainframe hardware through separating them into virtual machine. In the 1980s and 1990s virtualization was not needed due to the growing numbers of desktop computing and x86 servers. New issues came to rise such as soaring maintenance and managing cost which lead to the creation of virtualization for x86 platform. Virtualization significantly drops general IT costs. Virtualization permits you to run several operating systems on a single computer. In July 2006 Microsoft made public a free Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 which is a windows hosted virtualization program. The latest version is combined with Windows 7 operating system (http://www.infobarrel.com/History_of_Virtualization)...

...Robert W. Morley NT1210 October 20, 2012 Week 5 Essay VMware has been the market leader in virtualization products for many years now. Microsoft with their “slow but steady” pace in the field has defiantly taken some major leaps and bounds in their offerings to the world of virtualization now. The two solutions that shall be discussed here are VMware’s vSphere 5 and Microsoft’s Hyper-V. While both are great products, and share many of the same basic capabilities, pricing and limitations on said capabilities is what will ultimately separate these two from one another. VMware as stated above has been the industry leader for years when it came to virtualization whether on a single workstation or across an entire network. It has a very easy and logical interface that can be quickly learned by most in a very short time, assuming that the proper networking, deployment, and OS knowledge is already present. VMware’s vSphere 5 does have pricing attached to it, opposed to Microsoft’s Hyper-V which is free and integrates seamlessly into current Window OS configurations. The price for management is not free on either however, and this is where VMware seems to shine with its lower pricing structure. VMware does also offer a bundle/kit pricing where Microsoft does not currently offer that option for the Hyper-V. Virtual migration features will be the next biggest contrast between these two virtualization giants. VMware offers automated live migrations, power management, and storage...

...While being informed by a Vietnamese translator that he was fighting The Pride of Ho Chi Minh, or the highly elite 29th Regiment of the North Vietnamese Army (NVA), Lieutenant Colonel Weldon Honeycutt responded by saying “Tell him I’m glad to know they’re around here. Tell him that’s why we came here- to kill North Vietnamese soldiers-and if they are around, they’ll just be doin’ us a favor78-79.” This bold statement, stated by the commander of a unit tasked to take a hill with heavily fortified enemy positions, shows that he understood his mission- plain and simple. LTC Honeycutt, commander of the 3d Battalion, 187th Infantry (the "Rakkasans"), lead his unit in accordance with the doctrinal tasks of mission command. LTC Honeycutt was responsible for the United States victory on Hamburger Hill through the operations process activities by correctly understanding the operational environment, properly directing his unit and combat power, accurately assessing the evolving situation, and properly leading his subordinates to a successful mission. A profane, outspoken, fiercely competitive man, Honeycutt was the prototype of the hard-nosed commander. Born in 1931 in the mill town Greensboro, North Carolina, Honeycutt had lied, at sixteen with only a sixth-grade education, about his age and enlisted in the army. At five feet eight, other officers thought he lacked having command presence. Because of this, he applied himself to the military life with a religious passion and quickly...

The battle now known as Hamburger Hill begun May 10, 1969 and is recognized as one of the last major encounter between the Americans and the NVA. Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Weldon Honeycutt, commander of the 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment (3-187th) was determined to accomplish his assigned mission and seize Hill 937. After ten long hard fought days and many casualties from both sides, the 3-187th successfully occupied the hill on May 20. But at what cost? LTC Honeycutt improper use of the mission command principles; understanding, assessing, and visualizing; led to a prolonged engagement which cost additional casualties. Hamburger Hill occurred during Operation Apache Snow, the second part of a three-phased campaigned aimed at annihilating the NVA bases in the treacherous A Shau Valley. LTC Honeycutt and the 3-187th received the mission to search and destroy the Peoples of Vietnam Forces (PAVN) in the A Shau Valley in order to block the NAV from infiltrating the northern providence...

...CHƯƠNG I CƠ SỞ LÝ THUYẾT VỀ PHÍ BẢO VỆ MÔI TRƯỜNG ĐỐI VỚI NƯỚC THẢI CÔNG NGHIỆP 1.1. Phí bảo vệ môi trường và các khái niệm liên quan 1.1.1. Công cụ kinh tế Công cụ kinh tế là các công cụ chính sách sử dụng nhằm tác động tới chi phí và lợi ích trong các hoạt động của các cá nhân và tổ chức kinh tế để điều chỉnh hành vi của các chủ thể kinh tế theo hướng có lợi cho môi trường. Công cụ kinh tế trong bảo vệ môi trường thường được áp dụng dựa trên hai nguyên tắc cơ bản là nguyên tắc "Người gây ô nhiễm phải trả tiền" (Polluter Pays Principle, PPP) và "Người hưởng thụ phải trả tiền (Benefitciary Pays Principle, BPP)". "Người gây ô nhiễm phải trả tiền" có nghĩa là người gây ô nhiễm (doanh nghiệp, cá nhân hay chính quyền) phải trả hoàn toàn các chi phí về sự phá hoại môi trường do hoạt động của họ gây ra. Điều này sẽ khuyến khích người gây ô nhiễm giảm sự tác động tiêu cực đến môi trường, ít nhất là ở mức mà chi phí biên của việc giảm ô nhiễm bằng chi phí biên của sự tổn hại do ô nhiễm đó gây ra. Đối nghịch với nguyên tắc "Người gây ô nhiễm phải trả tiền", nguyên tắc "Người hưởng thụ phải trả tiền" đưa ra giải pháp bảo vệ môi trường với một cách nhìn nhận riêng theo hướng người hưởng thụ một môi trường đã được cải thiện cũng phải trả một khoản phí. Mục tiêu của nguyên tắc này là tất cả những ai hưởng lợi do có được môi trường trong lành không bị ô nhiễm đều phải nộp phí. Nguyên tắc chủ trương việc phòng ngừa ô nhiễm và cải thiện môi trường cần được hỗ trợ từ phía những người...

According to Wallace, “The physical battering of children is not a new phenomenon.” Wallace also states, “Physical child abuse may be defined as any act that results in a non-accidental physical injury by a person who has care, custody, or control of a child. This definition contains two key aspects: The act is intentional or willful, and the act resulted in a physical injury. An accidental injury does not qualify as child abuse.” Children have suffered trauma at the hands of parents and caregivers since the beginning of recorded history. Child neglect is the leading form of child abuse in the United States and occurs when a caretaker fails to provide for a child’s basic needs, which include food, clothing...

...There are many reasons why I want to take AB Calculus next year. The first reason why I would like to take AB Calculus is that this course will challenge me and help me excel in college when I take other calculus classes. In college, I will be pursuing a major/degree in business, and AB Calculus will lay a solid math foundation for me to excel in college. I will prepare over summer break, with a tutor if necessary, to get caught up with the Honors Pre-Calculus class and make sure that I am ready for AB Calculus when school starts. I missed getting into AP Calculus by one point and I do not want to be in a slow-paced math class my senior year because of this one point. I do not believe that one point should dictate what class I should be placed...
