...Program Description – I will be building a state of the art gaming computer. I will calculate the total prices based on the total input for each test case. After each test case has been formulated it will end in the total expected output of each test case. Analysis – The input of this program will consist of the base price ($500.00), the (OS $101.79), the (HD $79.99), and the (Processor $189.00. After all the choices have been selected, the program will determine the total cost of that option. The required output for the program will be the total cost of the state of the art gamming computer. The program will then determine the total cost of the state of the art gaming computer by using the following computation: TotalCost = BasePrice+OS+HD+Processor. Flow chart The main module executes and setups necessary variables. It then calls getInput function which asks user about details of computer parts. The output function displays the total along with the details.

...I. Introduction During the early days of computer industry, the software came integrated with hardware. The issue of intellectual property remained confined to hardware only. All this changed during the sixties when software was unbundled from hardware. This gave rise to independent software vendors (ISVs) and the production of standard and custom operating systems, as well as independent applications software’s. Rapid diffusion of low-cost desktop or personnel computer (PC) in late seventies and eighties opened up huge opportunities for ISVs. The software industry gradually increased in terms of overall trade, production and consumption. In 1990s, the widespread diffusion of the Internet created new channels for low-cost distribution and marketing of packaged software, reducing the barriers to entry into the packaged software industry. It also expanded the possibilities for rapid penetration of markets by packaged software products. This rapid increase in consumption of software and easy penetration of market through Internet resulted in increased software piracy, creating a big market in pirated software. According to estimates the global rate of piracy was 59.9% in the year 2010 that means out of the total software sold worldwide 59.9% was fake. Piracy causes huge losses of revenues to software companies every year. This has made the issue of intellectual property protection for software all the more important. The software is a complex product, which has given rise to a...

...8 Project Goals 8 Project Objectives 8 Conclusion 9 References 10 Introduction Kurzweil predicts that “in 2009, while schools are still not on the cutting edge, the profound importance of the computer as a knowledge tool is widely recognized. Computers play a central role in all facets of education, as they do in other spheres of life” (Kurzweil, 1999, p. 276). It is now 2006 and Kurzweil’s prediction of the computer being widely recognized as a knowledge tool is ahead of schedule. It is also true that schools are far from being on the cutting edge. Some schools are better than others, but the computer is sorely lacking in the classroom. The writer’s organization is a proprietary art college in Central Florida. The school is part of a large corporation that oversees more than sixty schools across the United States. Thirty one of the schools are art colleges. The art colleges are leaders in using the computer in the classroom. The corporation takes pride in putting high end technology in front of students to produce commercial art work in the form of graphic design, interactive design, digital video and animation. Often students choose the proprietary art college over community college or state university because of the high end computer labs and other technology that the private school has on campus. Potential students see the technology as an added value worth paying extra for. Technology Needs Assessment The writer’s organization is well equipped...

...this program will consist of the base price (BasePrice), the operating system choice (OSChoice), the monitor choice (MonitorChoice), and the case choice (CaseChoice). After the user has made all of the required choices, the program will determine the appropriate cost of that option: OSCost, MonitorCost, and CaseCost. Output: The required output for the program will be the total cost (TotalCost) of the state of the art gaming computer. The program will then determine the total cost of the state of the art gaming computer by using the following computation: TotalCost = BasePrice+OSCost+MonitorCost+CaseCost.

...CAPTCHA CAPTCHAs (completely automated public Test to tell computers and humans apart) are in common use today as a method for performing automated human verification online. The most popular type of CAPTCHA is the text recognition variety. However, many of the existing printed text CAPTCHAs have been broken by web-bots and are hence vulnerable to attack. We present an approach to use human-like handwriting for designing CAPTCHAs. A synthetic handwriting generation method is presented, where the generated textlines need to be as close as possible to human handwriting without being writer-specific. Such handwritten CAPTCHAs exploit the differential in handwriting reading proficiency between humans and machines. Test results show that when the generated textlines are further obfuscated with a set of deformations, machine recognition rates decrease considerably, compared to prior work, while human recognition rates remain the same. CAPTCHA is now almost a standard security technology. The most widely used CAPTCHAs rely on the sophisticated distortion of text images rendering them unrecognisableto the state of the art of pattern recognition techniques and these text-based schemes have found widespread applications in commercial websites. The state of the art of CAPTCHA design suggests that such text-based schemes should rely on segmentation resistance to provide security guarantee, as individual character recognition after segmentation can be solved with a high...
