...Chapter One (History of Linux): The history of Linux begins not with the release of Linux in 1991 but with the creation of GNU (which stands for Gnu’s not UNIX). This started with the purpose of creating a free OS to anyone who wanted with. By 1991 everything was complete except for the kernel which Linus Torvalds provided. The Code was free, this dated to back to when UNIX was released to Universities for a low cost and that way its students would be familiar with it and it would slowly permeate the marketplace once those students got out of the schoolhouse and made their way up the ladder of business. Some of the best things about Linux is the fact that is has a large selection of applications written for it that range from word processing to graphical tools to security administration software. It provides a wide range of peripherals and easy to install software. It works on a variety of platforms as well with a variety of hardware which allows it to be extremely portable. Another big key in this development is the creation of UNIX in B programming language which gave rise to C, C++ and Objective C. Linux has the shells to be able to interpret command language and programming language. GUI allows people to customize the desktop environment to suit their needs or tastes. Chapter Two and Three (Installation and Step by Step Installation): In the installation of Linux there are many different mediums to install it from. You can install it form a Live CD, An install...

In most places, owning a Porsche is considered holding a massive amount of wealth. What made Porsche become such a company with desirable image, and how did the company and market change over the history?

The brand effect can be an important reason why customers choose Porsche instead of Jaguar or Ferrari. Customers believe in the brand image Porsche holds – the luxuriousness. Thus, if there is no influence from others or the influence cannot move people, and if there are no unexpected situation factor, customers will finally decide to purchase Porsche instead of others.

The mission that I was placed would be a single person travelling to Europa. I would land safely to Europa and set up a lander to extract a core sample of the ice and hopefully organisms that could have been frozen in the thin layer of ice.

...The Evolution of Videogame Technology and its Impact on Gamers Shubhangi Vhatkar IB Extended Essay 3,902 words Abstract: This essay examines how the development of technology has changed the videogame experience, and how it will continue to change in the future as new technologies appear. Research investigated recorded histories of videogames, personal accounts of videogame experiences, the gaming industry’s impact on society, and specifications for particularly technologies. Predictions for future gaming experiences were based on the increasing rate of technological developments and current prospects of videogame tycoons such as Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. Personal knowledge and speculation were included as well. This study demonstrated that as videogame technology grew more sophisticated, gamers found themselves in more personal, immersive, emotionally titillating, morally challenging, and free-ended worlds. The increase in processing power and available memory led to photorealistic visuals, longer storylines, broader gameplay, and socially interactive games that have become second nature to most teenagers today. This second life will only become more influential in our physical and mental states as the scope of modern gaming increases, and new technologies provide for a longer, more poignant, and more immersive gaming experience. Technology, the “practical application of knowledge,” dates back millennia. Even pre-historic man used rock, wood, fur, and fire to...

...Introduction: Many of today’s greatest inventions have been created by “accident” , meaning that these products were created in the midst of a scientist trying to make something else. Three of these products, two of which were staples during many of our childhoods, are things we could not imagine a time without them. The “accidents” we will be focusing on are nylon (yes, the material panty hose are made of), Silly Putty®, and the bouncy ball. Nylon Nylon, a synthetic polymer fiber, was invented by Wallace Hume Carothers at the E.I. DuPont de Nemours Company in Delaware in 1934. Nylon stockings became a huge hit as soon as they were released during World War II after a public supply cut-off. Although Carothers receives recognition for the creation of the polymer, another DuPont employee may the actual inventor. Julian Hill worked with Carothers, and had spent time developing a process where a long fiber with a silky texture could be created of carbon polymers. Carothers may have had a psychological issue, and committed suicide in 1937. The company accredited the invention of nylon to him in honor of him. Nylon was created entirely from petrochemicals unlike previous artificial fabrics like rayon and acetate, which were plant based. Nylon was designed as a synthetic silk for women’s stockings. The material was intended to be less expensive while adding qualities such as strength and insulation. Nylon is not only used in stockings, but is also used in an enormous amount...

...AHGR610 - Veronica Scarpellino August 7, 2014 “Hidden City: A Study in Social Impact and a Living City” Over the past few decades the concept of social impact has continued to gained traction as the new imperative across all industries. Artists and art organizations, too, seek to affect their communities in positive ways. How this is achieved is being experimented with daily, and an interesting endeavor takes shape in Philadelphia in the form of Hidden City, an organization that puts a spotlight on forgotten or neglected places. I will explore examples of this organization that bridge the past and present, examine why Hidden City’s approach resonates in Philadelphia, identify what impact it has on the community, ponder evidence of success, and consider whether it can be categorized as art. Philadelphia is a city of living history in a manner that does not necessitate reference to historic reenactments, but in a way...

...The Legacy of Pablo Picasso Michelle Wade HUM/102 May 4, 2015 Nye Clinton The Legacy of Pablo Picasso The nominated figure that stands out in my mind as a genius of Western culture would have to be, Pablo Ruiz Picasso he was a very dominant and dramatic artist during the beginning of the 20th century. His art referenced cubism, with the assistance of Georges Braque, collages and was influential with his contributions to symbolism and surrealism as well. Picasso viewed himself as a painter first, and then all other areas of interest just seemed to follow in suit, which were sculpture, ceramics, and print-making. The Spanish painter, sculptor, and graphic artist; Pablo Picasso was one of the most productive and revolutionary artists in the history of Western painting (Boigraphies, 2015). Picasso was born on October 25, 1881, in Malaga, Spain to a creative an artistic family where he quickly grew in his fascination of painting. At a very young age he showed interest in his father’s painting and began his study of art by age eleven. One of Picasso’s first paintings that still exists today is named “The Communion.” and is dated to 1895. His early life was initiated by the best schools his family could provide for him in his chosen career, and he studied the famous Spanish Art Masters works for style and pose to integrate into his own works of art. When his family moved to Barcelona, his art seemed to blossom. He was intrigued by the ‘Art Nouveau of the Bohemian...

...mile in the air over southern England, and glided to the earth using a specially designed wing suit. His runway was comprised of a cobbled-up crash-pad fabricated from 18,000 cardboard boxes to soften the impact. With this record-setting jump, Gary became the first skydiver to land without using a parachute. While others have survived through some fluke of nature, he was the first one to plan it from the start. We live in a world obsessed with accomplishments, and more specifically, obsessed with being FIRST. Few of us remember the 2nd person to set foot on the moon, or the 2nd person to invent the airplane, or the 2nd one to run a mile in under 4 minutes. So given this almost fanatical pursuit to become the “first” at something, what exactly are some of the big accomplishments still waiting to be claimed that will land someone in the history books? Here are a few that come to mind. History of Firsts People can become famous for a variety reasons stemming from heroic, unfortunate, ground breaking, or even uncontrollable circumstances. When a new trend appears in transportation, communication, or the technical world, an opportunistic innovator is always there to be the first to develop or test the new technology. History has many examples of influential firsts that have had a huge impact on society, culture, and the world as a whole. Here are a few examples of people who have gone first: • 1st People to Fly: On November 21, 1783, the first manned hot air balloon flight...

...A Brief History of Anime Michael O'Connell Source: Otakon 1999 program book Early Days At the beginning of the 20th century, Japanese graphic artists began to feel the influence of two very powerful Western inventions: the newspaper comic strip and the motion picture. With its word balloons and linear story-line, the comic strip provided Japanese story-tellers with a structure that was readily accessible to the masses. Soon, popular cartoonists like Rakiten Kitazawa and Ippei Okamoto were producing their own serialized newspaper prints. These would eventually contribute to the development of the modern Japanese comic book or "manga" In 1914, cartoonists were among the first Japanese artists to experiment with animated motion pictures. Japan's first world-wide success was Kitayama Seitaro's short film Momotaro(1918). Although the Japanese animation industry continued to grow slowly, its one, last pre-war milestone was Chikara To Onna No Yononaka. Appearing in 1932, the short film was the first animated "talkie" in Japanese. Elswhere in the world, the animation industry was not only thriving but breaking new ground. The undisputed leaders in the field were Walt Disney and the Fleisher Brothers. People now forgot what a shock it was for Disney to even consider producing a full-length animated feature. But, when Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs appeared in 1937 to overwhelming popular acclaim, Disney demonstrated that animation could be just as expressive and viable a medium...
