...Vivre en colocation La colocation est une pratique de plus en plus fréquente dans les grandes villes du monde occidental. Bien que beaucoup de gens ça trouvent une bonne solution, ce n'est pas le mode de vie approprié pour chacun. Alors on doit examiner les avantages et inconvénients de partager son logement. Il y a nombreux avantages. Tout d'abord on peut faire des économies parce qu'on partage non seulement son appartement mais aussi tous les coûtes comme le loyer ou les frais supplémentaires. On a donc la chance d'habiter plus centralement ou on a plus d'argent pour les loisirs et des autres dépenses. En plus vivre en colo est une possibilité d'eviter la solitude. Comme une autre personne (ou plusieurs) habite dans le même logement, on a toujours quelqu'un pur parler le soir, sortir boire un verre et - en générale - faire quelque chose ensemble. On pourrait énumerer d'autres choses positives mais il y a aussi des inconvenients qu'on doit accepter dans une colocation. La chose plus déplaisante peut être le manque d'intimité. Si on vit en colo il est très difficile d'avoir son sphère privée, par example quand on veut parler de sa liaison à sa copine ou son copain. En outre,les colocataires peuvent être très eccentrics ou tout simplement un peu different car on doit apprendre respecter les particularités de ses colocataires et developer un certain degré de tolérance. En résumé, vivre en colocation n'est pas facile mais c'est une bonne idée pour tous les gens qui...

...Comparison between the UNIX and the Windows 2008 servers Instructor Keating ECPI University CIS305 Advanced UNIX Administration June 15, 2013 There are many reasons that I choose this speaking about the UNIX server verses the Window 2008 server but mainly it was the fact that I had no idea how this server worked and why it was so important. At first when I heard of UNIX it didn’t seem important at all in fact all I could remember is that it was the server that carried the weird names. Then I learned that this was the Linux server they both seemed similar. What interested me is the fact that this was something that I didn’t understand therefore it became a challenge it was the server that I wanted to learn about, the inner working since I loved learning about new things. Now I was very frustrated at first, but in the process of learning I have found and downloaded the operating system on my desktop so that I can learn to be familiar with it. I will give you a little bio as to when I began to show an interest in computer I never had any experiences with server this is my first experience, but with computers that is a different story this is one of the things that I love working with and fixing. When I was a little girl computers fascinated me. At the age of 15 I wanted to know the ins and outs of them. The first computer that I remember it was an Apple or Macintosh that was given to my family. There were little floppy disks that you could use to store things...

...figuring out the right role for top executives, for example, or finding a good balance between formal and informal project management processes. But although the challenges may be familiar, the solutions are not; what works for an innovation project conducted in a single location doesn’t necessarily work for one dispersed across many sites around the world. That’s partly because many important enablers of innovation happen naturally in colocation. Single location projects draw on large reservoirs of shared tacit knowledge and trust, and when issues arise, senior management is on hand to make decisions and provide direction and support. Team members october 2012 harvard business review 85 10 Rules foR Managing global innovation share the same language, culture, and norms, enabling flexibility and iterative learning as the project unfolds. When a project spans multiple locations, many of those natural benefits—often taken for granted—are lost. Part of the challenge of dispersed innovation thus becomes how to replicate the positive aspects of colocation while harnessing the unique benefits of a global initiative. To explore this challenge, we spent more than a decade doing field research at 47 companies around the world, including Citibank, HP, Hitachi, Infosys, Intel, LG Electronics, Novartis, Philips, Samsung, Siemens, Vodafone, and Xerox. In 2004 we teamed up with Booz &...

...The iPremier Company: Denial of Service Attack 1. In your opinion, how well did iPremier perform during the 75 minute attack? It is clear that iPremier was not prepared for any sort of cyber attack, and their subpar performance during the 75 minutes was a clear representation of their operational deficiencies, lack of preparedness, and lack of leadership. This led to a complete disregard of any formal procedures and caused many involved to fall for common psychological traps. On page 281, Applegate lists four key emotional obstacles that must be overcome during an incident: 1) Emotional responses, including confusion, denial, fear, and panic, 2) Wishful thinking and groupthink, 3) Political maneuvering, diving for cover, and ducking responsibility, and 4) Leaping to conclusions and blindness to evidence that contradicts current beliefs. From the very beginning of the incident, there was confusion and panic with the people involved. However, amongst the panic, everyone did a decent job of prioritizing the safety of the customer’s information. Without a formal plan, it obviously took longer to diagnose the problem and to determine solutions, but Bob Turley did a good job of keeping everyone focused on the customers. However, he did not offer much support to Joanne Ripley, the one person who was actively trying to identify and fix the problem. For example, Turley didn’t even acknowledge the issue with Qdata when Ripley brought it to his attention during their first conversation...

...1.General: Organization, business or individual which offers service to others in exchange for payment. A telecommunications service provider or TSP is a type of communications service provider that has traditionally provided telephone and similar services. This category includesincumbent local exchange carriers, competitive local exchange carriers, and mobile wireless communication companies. While some people use the terms "telecom service provider" and "communications service provider" interchangeably, the term TSP generally excludes Internet service providers(ISPs), cable companies, satellite TV, and managed service providers. The need for ASPs has evolved from the increasing costs of specialized software that have far exceeded the price range of small to medium sized businesses. As well, the growing complexities of software have led to huge costs in distributing the software to end-users. Through ASPs, the complexities and costs of such software can be cut down. In addition, the issues of upgrading have been eliminated from the end-firm by placing the onus on the ASP to maintain up-to-date services, 24 x 7 technical support, physical and electronic security and in-built support for business continuity and flexible working. The importance of this marketplace is reflected by its size. As of early 2003, estimates of the United States market range from 1.5 to 4 billion dollars. Clients for ASP services include businesses, government organizations, non-profits, and membership...

...Regional Bell Operating Companies also known as RBOC’s . On January 8, 1982, AT&T Corp. settled the suit and agreed to divest its local exchange service operating companies. Local operations were split into seven independent Regional Bell Operating Companies known as "Baby Bells". RBOCs were originally known as Regional Holding Companies. Three companies have the RBOCs as predecessors ,they consist of of AT&T,Verizon and Century link. (princeton.edu, 2014) Incumbent local exchange carrier also commonly referred to as ILEC is a local telephone company during the break up of AT&T into RBOC’s. The ILEC is the former Bell System or Independent Telephone Company responsible for providing local telephone exchange services in a specified geographic area. GTE was the second largest ILEC after the Bells, but it has since been absorbed into Verizon, a RBOC. ILECs compete with competitive local exchange carriers (CLEC). When referring to the technical communities ILEC is often used just to mean a telephone provider. (princeton.edu, 2014) CLECs evolved from the competitive access providers (CAPs) that began to offer private line and special access services in competition with the ILECs beginning in 1985. The CAPs (such as Teleport Communications Group (TCG) and Metropolitan Fiber Systems (MFS)) deployed fiber optic systems in the central business districts of the largest U.S. cities (New York, Chicago, Boston, etc.) A number of state public utilities commissions, particularly...

...Spread Spectrum Transmission Comparison Introduction to Spread Spectrum Transmission Guidelines • What is it? Spread spectrum is a form of wireless communications in which the frequency of the transmitted signal is deliberately varied. • Why is it important? Spread-spectrum transmission is more resistant to outside interference. • What issues are addressed? Spread-spectrum transmission can send more bits at one time than a similar narrowband transmission. • How does it work? RF signals that are transmitted on more than one frequency are important in order to communicate and keep things going without being limited to one station or frequency. Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) Guidelines • What is it? It is one of two basic modulation techniques used in spread spectrum signal transmission. • How does it work? It works by using a short burst is transmitted at one frequency, followed by a short burst transmitted at another frequency, and so on, until the entire transmission is completed. • What issues are addressed? If interference detected on any one frequency it can skip that signal and move on to another completing the transmission. • Why is it important? It maintains a better signal. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) Guidelines • What is it? It is a wireless modulation technique that uses an expanded redundant code to transmit each data bit. • How does it work? It uses an expanded redundant code to transmit each data bit where each bit is converted...

Diagnostic methods that are used to troubleshoot wired 802.3 networks should also be applied when troubleshooting a wireless local area network (WLAN). A bottoms-up approach to analyzing the OSI reference model layers also applies to wireless networking. A wireless networking administrator should always try to first determine whether problems exist at layer 1 and layer 2. As with most networking technologies, most problems usually exist at the Physical layer. Simple layer 1 problems such as nonpowered access points or client card driver problems are often the root cause of connectivity or performance issues. Because WLANs use radio frequencies to deliver data, troubleshooting a WLAN offers many unique layer 1 challenges not found in a typical wired environment. The bulk of this chapter discusses the numerous potential problems...

...designed to cope with problems that occurred intermittently in our evolutionary past. Evidence suggests that, during over 99 percent of the evolutionary process leading to the emergence of our species, our ancestors communicated in a synchronous and colocated manner, and employing facial expressions, body language, and oral speech (what we refer to here, generally, as “face-to-face” communication). Thus, it is plausible to assume that many of the evolutionary adaptations our brain has undergone in connection with communication have been directed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of face-to-face communication, which begs the question: What happens when we selectively suppress face-to-face communication elements (e.g., colocation, the ability to employ/observe facial expressions) through e-communication technologies? This paper tries to provide an answer to this question by developing a hypothesis, called the media naturalness hypothesis, which builds on modern human evolution theory. The media naturalness hypothesis argues that, other things being equal, a decrease in the degree of naturalness of a communication medium (or its degree of similarity to the face-to-face medium) leads to the following effects in connection with a communication interaction: (1) increased cognitive effort, (2) increased communication ambiguity, and (3) decreased physiological arousal. It is argued that the media naturalness hypothesis has important implications for the selection...
