...The Pentium flaw also nicknamed the Pentium FDIV bug, was an identified error in the Intel P5 Pentium floating unit. The presence of the bug can be checked manually by performing the following application that uses native floating numbers, including Windows Calculator or Microsoft Excel in Windows 95/98 (Pentium FDIV bug). The Pentium flaw was discovered byProfessor Thomas R.Nicely at Lynchburg Collwge,Virginia USA (Emery, Vince). Dr.Thomas R Nicely is a mathematic professor, noticed a small difference in two sets of numbers, he always double-checks his work by computing everything twice, two different ways (Emery, Vince). Dr.Nicely spent months successively eliminating possible causes such as PCI bus errors and compiler artifacts (Emery, Vince). Intel wanted to keep to keep the Pentium flaw a secret, after Intel testers discovered a division error in the Pentium chip (Emery, Vince). Intel managers decided that the error wouldn’t affect many people, therefore no one outside of the company was not informed (Emery, Vince). The pandemonium over Intel’s Pentium chip cost the company millions of dollars and could have been prevented and became an uproar on the internet (Emery, Vince). This was Intel’s first mistake and the company was given a reputation that made Intel not a trustworthy company and not disclosing that information made them seem to be hiding a sinister secret (Emery, Vince). After several tests on 486 and Pentium-Based computers, Dr.Nicely determined that the error...

...Marcos Corpas 1/18/2016 NT1110 Unit 5 Analysis 1: Pentium Flaw The Pentium processor flaw was a flaw in the floating-point math subsection of the Pentium microprocessor. When certain conditions were met low order bits of the result of floating-point division operations would be incorrect, an error that can quickly compound in floating-point operations to much larger errors in subsequent calculations. Intel corrected the problem in a future revision, but they refused to disclose it. The mathematics professor at Lynchburg College who discovered the flaw was Dr. Thomas Nicely. Dr. Nicely then had an inquiry with Intel and upon not receiving any response from them he posted about the flaw on October 30th 1994 online. Word quickly spread of the flaw and Intel responded by saying that the bug was minor and “not even an erratum”. Since the bug was easy to replicate by the average user, Intel's response about the bug was not accepted by many computer users. When New York Times Journalist John Markoff ran a piece that spotlighted the error, Intel in response to the media coverage changed its position on the matter and offered to replace every faulty chip. Intel put in place a large end-user support organization. This resulted in a five hundred million dollar charge against Intel's 1994 revenue. Interestingly enough, the attention paid to the Intel Pentium Processor Flaw made Intel go from a seemingly unknown computer supplier to a regular household name. The incident is considered by...

...Cloud Computing Due to the relative infancy of cloud computing and lack of knowledge the IT infrastructure has, I have decided to provide some information about the platform. Cloud computing can be looked upon as a “virtual server”( http://www.infoworld.com/d/cloud-computing/what-cloud-computing-really-means- 031). Lets break it down for a better understanding. I am going to define cloud by breaking it Down in seven sections. Saas Saas is a type of cloud computing. This device would allows an organization to reach many of its customers with a single application.(http://www.infoworld.com/d/cloud-computing/what-cloud- computing-really-means-031). Here are a list of advantages. • Responsibility is on the vendor • Cost effectiveness • Total cost of ownership is low • Accessibility • Maintenance upkeep Utility Computing By definition utility computing is when services are provided to a customer on demand. In other words they are charged for a specific usage rather then a flat rate. Some of the concerns of management can be resolved in the utilization of this form of cloud computing. Here is a list of advantages obtained through implementation. • IT usage can be driven measured up or down • Are department has growing computer needs so this would serve beneficial • Reduction of cost and maximizing assets • Projects are a staple in our office division, therefore this utilization would again prove beneficial (http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx...

...IOLP Evaluation As part of my beauty therapy level 3 qualification we had to complete the topic epilation (unit 307). To complete this unit we needed to complete practical assessments and theory, we also had to complete an online test (E-Volve). We were required to carry out lessons in key skills, improving our own learning and performance. As a class we were set a task in which each student had to give a presentation to the rest of the class on a topic to do with epilation. The topics were chosen by our tutor and I was given; consultation techniques. I broke this down into headings such as; benefits to clients, benefits to the therapist, contra-indications and factors to be considered. I found my research using ‘moodle’, my level 3 beauty booklets, handouts, and the internet. I then broke my research into sections and used this to produce my power point. Once I had presented my power point I had to give my class a task to complete relating to the power point. The task I chose was a word search. By completing this task to prepare a power point, I found that it helped me to develop my communication skills. I also found it helpful that once I had finished my task my class gave me feedback as well as my tutor on how I preformed. All the information I put into my power point I found that it helped my peers with their revision for their E-Volve’s. I feel that this task really benefited me as it made me improve my revision strategies and re-cap on information. To complete the practical...

...reported in 1994. The Intel P5 chip was found to have a floating point unit bug that made digital divide operation in algorithms flaw after the 4th decimal point. I will also be touching on the contributions of Professor Thomas R. Nicely and the time line on which he brought attention to the bug from the Intel P5. The Pentium FDIV bug The Pentium FDIV bug was first discovered by a professor named Thomas R. Nicely from Lynchburg College in Virginia. He discovered there were a few missing entries in the lookup table by the digital divide operation algorithm. Sadly Intel knew about the bug when they were testing the chip in June of 1994. Intel’s managers decided the error would not affect as many people as it would to issue a recall, and that they should not inform anyone outside the company. Later thet same month Dr. Nicely, a professor of mathematics noticed small differenced in two sets of numbers. Dr. Nicely spent months eliminating possible causes such ad PCI bus errors and compiler artifacts. October 19th after testing on several 486 and Pentium-based computers Dr. Nicely was certain that the error was caused by the Intel P5 processor. On the 24th of October he contacted Intel technical support and the support representative confirmed the error and said that it was not reported before. Then on October 30th after receiving no more information from Intel he sent an email message to a few people, announcing his discovery of a bug in the Intel P5 processor. From there...

...ANSWER SHEET FOR HM3 Visit the Gap web site at www.gap.com and examine either the virtual style section or the current advertising section. Discuss the types of beliefs and attitudes you think this information would create. What effects might these beliefs and attitudes have on consumers’ behavioral intentions? (Use the Theory of Reasoned Action to guide your thinking and your answer.) This is a review and application question with a web exercise. Fishbein and Ajzen’s Theory of Reasoned Action is a powerful model for analyzing and understanding the factors that influence voluntary, overt behaviors. Students need to understand the basic components of the model and the logic that underlies their interrelationships. Exhibit 6.6 in the text clearly presents the major components of the model and their interrelationships. Students should be able to discuss these "flows of influence." The theory of reasoned action identifies two main influences on behavioral intentions--Aact and SN that is attitudes toward the action and subjective norms. Different promotional strategies, such as those used by The Gap, can try to change consumers’ attitudes and/or their subjective norms. For instance, if the weak BI is due to negative attitudes toward purchasing clothing from The Gap, advertising needs to focus on the specific negative beliefs about the consequences of buying and using the product. Alternatively, The Gap could try to use social influences to...

...Executive Summary Zuora Inc. is a leader in the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) billing and payments area. The company went beyond just SaaS and moving towards subscription method of business. There are three options that Zuora is facing right now: There are 3 options that Zuora is facing right now: • Stay the course; continue with its 6 sales members and 45 employees to focus on the private market. This will being an estimated positive cash flow as well as small growth of 30 – 35% • Expansion towards cloud computing trend: this by doubling their sales team and hiring extra employees from 45 to 60 to 75 new employees. • Grow Big: this by increasing sales to 40 people form 6 originally and then increasing head count to 150 people by end of 2009. This equates to approximately 200% growth year on year. Currently all options seem to be very good for Zuora as Zuora is not in a dire straits as of now. However it would be beneficial for Zuora to move towards the expansion of cloud computing. This is more of the midlevel strategy of all items. They can moderately expand their work force and already successful sales team. By doing such things they can focus on their core market without losing their identity and becoming too far spread apart. Also this will also ensure that they are not put into a major cash flow difficulty and it gives them time to develop and improve their brand. Overall this is a risky but also maintainable plan for...

...Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet). The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user's data, software and computation. There are many types of public cloud computing:[1] Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) Platform as a service (PaaS) Software as a service (SaaS) Storage as a service (STaaS) Security as a service (SECaaS) Data as a service (DaaS) Database as a service (DBaaS) Test environment as a service (TEaaS) Desktop virtualization API as a service (APIaaS) Backend as a service (BaaS) In the business model using software as a service, users are provided access to application software and databases. The cloud providers manage the infrastructure and platforms on which the applications run. SaaS is sometimes referred to as “on-demand software” and is usually priced on a pay-per-use basis. Saas providers generally price applications using a subscription fee. Proponents claim that the SaaS allows a business the potential to reduce IT operational costs by outsourcing hardware and software maintenance and support to the cloud provider. This will enable a business to reallocate IT operations to focus on other IT goals. In addition, the application is hosted centrally, so updates can be released without users having to reinstall...

...Table of Content: Page Number Answer 3 Appendix 6 Refences 7 Career theory has begun since the early 20th century. As the changing nature of world, career theory experiences major transition from time to time to achieve an applicable theory. This essay will discuss and analyse the literature about career theory in the early 21st Century. Sonnenfeld (1982) has described career theory as theory which attempts to explain occupational variables such as type of job and income or psychological variables such as job satisfaction and job-related stress. Career development began from Frank Parsons’ work where he predicts a person’s career choices from the his characteristics, including self-knowledge, career planning and “true reasoning”(Patton et al, 2006). Later, several aptitude tests were used in the assessment of unemployed workers which led to the development of trait-factor approaches. Fitzgerald (1992) suggested that the trait-factor approach can be attributed to the combination of Parsons matching models with the concepts and technology of individual differences. As consequences, trait-factor theory implies on the match or fit between individual’s characteristics and work environment , emphasizing on the relationship between knowledge about self and knowledge about environment (Betz, 1989). Collin (1986) has argued that the major thrust in career theory has centred on individual rather than on contextual factors. However, Holland’s...

...ABSTRACT: Cloud computing involves storing, managing and processing data on remote servers owned by various users on the network instead of making use of a local server or a personal computer. The prime service models include the Platform-as-a-service model(PaaS), Software- as- a- service model (SaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service model (IaaS). IaaS is a third party service model which makes use of hardware, software, servers, storage and other infrastructure modules on behalf of the users on the network. IaaS provides the connected users with a web-based service to create, obliviate and administer storage and systems. Security remains a big issue of concern especially because the other service models run on top of the infrastructure layer. PaaS provides hardware and software equipments required for the development of applications to it’s users over the worldwide web. PaaS provides access to Application Program Interfaces( APIs) and other equipments necessary or developing applications without having to install the developing environment. SaaS gives the connected users access to software/ services available on the cloud. SaaS requires the Web Browser to to access the applications hosted by the cloud. Although this concept provides ease in terms of cost- cutting and low management requirement of systems, the data remains vulnerable to unauthorized interference and misuse. This poses a threat to data security which becomes a great concern on multiple levels and dimensions...
