...family's chauffeur, Thomas. She has been in love with David Larrabee all her life. David is an oft-married, idle playboy, crazy about women, who has never noticed Sabrina, much to her dismay. According to his brother, Linus, he is in and out of many relationships and has attempted several different career paths but never completes anything. Sabrina is sent to Paris for a two-year fashion internship at Vogue by her father, in hopes that she will get over her infatuation for David. Sabrina returns to Long Island as an attractive, sophisticated woman. David, after initially not recognizing her, is quickly drawn to her despite being newly engaged to Elizabeth Tyson, a doctor. David's workaholic older brother Linus fears that David's impending wedding to the highly suitable Elizabeth might be endangered. If the wedding were to be canceled, so would a lucrative merger with the bride's family business, Tyson Electronics, run by her father Patrick. This could cost the Larrabee corporation, run by Linus and his mother Maude, in the neighborhood of a billion dollars. So Linus comes up with a plan and tries to redirect Sabrina's affections to himself, and it works. Sabrina falls in love with him. In the process, Linus falls in love with her. Unwilling to admit his feelings, Linus confesses his scheme to Sabrina at the last minute and sends her back to Paris. However, he is induced to pursue her there after a scolding from his mother and a newly aware David, who steps into his shoes at the...

...One man who was anything but skeptical of Avery’s research was James Watson, a young American student and former child prodigy. Watson was born in 1928 in Chicago, Illinois, and he attended the University of Chicago for college, where he earned a bachelor's degree in 1947. In 1950, he received a PhD in ornithology from the University of Indiana, and, after reading What is Life? By Erwin Schrodinger, decided to pursue genetic research. The problem was, Watson had almost no experience whatsoever in chemistry. In 1950, Watson began his studies with a microbiologist, where he was assigned to write a thesis paper on phages, a simple type of virus. These studies proved difficult due to Watson’s lack of chemical knowledge, and his supervisor realized that more information about phages, proteins, and genes would become apparent if they understood the structure. In attempt to acquire some basic chemical experience, Watson began a short internship at a lab where he nearly caused a catastrophic explosion. Following this unfortunate incident, Watson’s knowledge of chemistry remained unimpressive, as shortly thereafter, the...

...OceansCharlie Schwab Economics October 20,2013 Ocean’s Eleven Ocean’s Eleven is the classic casino heist movie on which all other robbery movies are put up against. It stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and many other well-known actors. At the beginning of the movie Danny Ocean (George Clooney) is released from prison and starts to plan the big job. With the help of Rusty (Brad Pitt), he and Danny assemble a team of nine more people making the famous eleven. They spend most of the movie preparing for the robbery and coming across small problems leading up to the night of the heist. You find out that Danny is robbing the man who is now dating his ex-wife, Tess (Julia Roberts). During the robbery they use multiple different cons to make there way to the vault. They pull a final trick on the security and prerecord the vault robbery and play it so they can escape safely. Finally, Danny gets Tess back to fulfill the Hollywood version of the movie. I chose this movie because is magnifies many of the economic terms that we have been talking about like opportunity cost and unemployment. It is also one of my favorite because it is the original heist movie, while Ocean’s twelve and thirteen aren’t up to par as the first it is still an amazing trilogy. This movie also has one of my favorite actors, Brad Pitt. I mainly liked him Troy but he still did a great. This is also one of the first movies Matt Damon was in, Matt didn’t have one of the major roles of the film but...

...Project 2 – Technological Innovations Nathan Brenner Westwood College 2014/05/09 SOCS-299 Abstract The open source software Linux, was introduced in 1991, by Linus Torvalds. He developed the UNIX based operating system because, the education oriented operating system he was working with was not meeting his needs. Linux has grown to be an innovative powerhouse, because Linux is so versatile it can be used in hundreds of applications and shows no signs of age or being outmoded. Technological Innovations The financial burden put on college students is staggering. However, there is one corner that can be cut when deciding what kind of operating system for your computer to purchase. Most people are mundane and choose whatever is pre-installed on the computer they are purchasing, but did you know there is an alternative? When you think of a computer operating system, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Windows? Apple? Did you know there was a third alternative? I am talking about the open source software known as Linux. What is Linux? The actual definition is “a freely-distributable open source operating system that runs on a number of hardware platforms” (webopedia, 2014). The technological advantage that the open source software Linux has given to the world is immense. This open source software has come a long way since its inception in the early 1990’s, and has grown to be the most versatile open source operating system to date. Along with its versatility...

... Linux is subversive. Who would have thought even five years ago (1991) that a world-class operating system could coalesce as if by magic out of part-time hacking by several thousand developers scattered all over the planet, connected only by the tenuous strands of the Internet? Certainly not I. By the time Linux swam onto my radar screen in early 1993, I had already been involved in Unix and open-source development for ten years. I was one of the first gnu contributors in the mid-1980s. I had released a good deal of open-source so=ware onto the net, developing or co-developing several programs (nethack, Emacs’s vc and gud modes, xlife, and others) that are still in wide use today. I thought I knew how it was done. Linux overturned much of what I thought I knew. I had been preaching the Unix gospel of small tools, rapid prototyping and evo1 2 2 THE MAIL MUST GET THROUGH lutionary programming for years. But I also believed there was a certain...

...Understanding Open Source Software Development Process Abstract: As the assignment requirement, we selected eclipse, Linux kernel and commercial software from the corporation of one member. It is the regret that we had not enough time to collect all statistics by ourselves, and instead of that, papers and blogs are the main resources for open source part in this document. The open source software is introduced before the commercial one. Keywords: development process, code ownership, defect density, bug lifetime Background: Linux Kernel In April 1991, Linus Torvalds, a 21-year-old student at the University of Helsinki, Finland started working on some simple ideas for an operating system. He started with a task switcher in Intel 80386 assembly language and a terminal driver. On 26 August 1991, Torvalds posted the following to comp.os.minix, a newsgroup on Usenet: I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since April, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things). After that, many people contributed code to the project. Early on, the MINIX community contributed code and ideas to the Linux kernel. At the time, the GNU Project had created many of the components required for a free operating system, but its own kernel...

...Evolution of UNIX Evolution of UNIX Bill Stewart December 01, 2011 Marshall University CIS155: UNIX Operating System In the late 1960's computers worked entirely different than the ones that we do our work on every day. They did not talk to each other and programs written for use on one computer did not work on another. Today’s basic cell phone has more processing power and memory capabilities as computers from the 1960's. The few operating systems available at that time performed very limited tasks and were exclusive to the computer it was written on. In other words when one upgraded to a newer computer, the operating system and all data that you wanted transferred from the old computer had to be rewritten on the newer model. In 1965 a joint effort of Bell Labs, MIT and GE began to develop a general computer operating system that was named the MULTICS (Multiplexed Information and Computing Service) mainframe timesharing system. The MULTICS project was being funded by the Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The goal of the MULTICS group was to develop a feature-packed information utility that would allow timesharing of mainframe computers by large communities of users. It was also designed to be able to support multilevels of security with the military in mind. When Bell Labs joined the project their goal was to obtain a timesharing system for use by members of the technical staff at Bell Labs. When the planned time had passed and...

...Introduction to UNIX and Linux UNIX was developed at Bell Laboratories by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie in 1969 and it was created on a minicomputer called the PDP-7. (Muse) Computer aided design, manufacturing control systems, laboratory simulations, even the Internet its self, all began life with and because of UNIX systems. (unix.org) The reason for building UNIX was to create a simple interactive operating system, called “Multics” (Multiplexed Information and Computing System). (Kioskea.net) UNIX went through growing pains through the years, but in 1991, Linus Torvalds, commenced Linux development and the distro Solaris 1.0 debuts. (unix.org) Torvalds writes “Sadly, a kernel” (which is what Linux is and has always been) “by itself gets you nowhere. To get a working system you need a shell, compliers, a library, etc.” (Moody, pg 44) “Linus Torvalds had a kernel but no programs of his own, Richard Stallman and GNU had programs but no working kernel.” (linux.org) GNU is a recursive acronym that means GNU is Not Unix. UNIX/Linux can literally be used anywhere. While completing my AAS, my final project was to build a Samba server, which I needed a Linux distro to make happen, and I went with Ubuntu. Samba is the standard Windows interoperability suite of programs for Linux and UNIX. (Samba.org) Basically, Samba makes file transfer between a Linux/Unix server, and a Windows server, seamless. To Windows, Samba looks just like another Windows server so it allowes easy file...
