Torvald Helmer Torvald Helmer is the only character that has not changed throughout the entire play. Torvald, in the beginning of the play, is a controlling narcissistic middle aged man who plays and controls with his wife, Nora, and his three children to conform to the ideals of him and the society. As Nora is pleading to Torvald for Krogstad to keep his job at the bank, Torvald tells Nora, “And just by pleading for him you make it impossible for me to keep him on. It’s already known at the bank

shows up in various forms. You could be proud of your accomplishments, how much money you make, or simply how well you're doing your job. Pride is everywhere and can be hard to spot at times. One character who shows a tremendous amount of pride is Torvald Helmer in the play A Doll House. His pride is sometimes very noticeable and subtle at other times. He suffers from the pride of status, the pride of money, and pride of his family. Each of these versions of pride is strongly linked to being proud of

Unix provided the kernel, while Linux provided the interface that people used in place of another operating system like windows or apples own software.

technology on warfare. The method was a creation for the report, for the U.S. Army Air Corps on the future technological capacities that might be used by the military. The Delphi method was developed by project RAND during the 1950-1960s by Olaf Helmer, Norman Dalkey, and Nicholas Rescher. It has been used ever since, with many modifications and reformulation, such as the Imen-Delphi procedure. There are steps one must use in the Delphi Technique; Step 1 – Is choosing a Facilitator,

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

system. In 1986, Linus Torvalds began to learn, quite extensively, hardware programming to help him with his Sinclair computer. He developed a floppy controller driver as well as a programming tool to help him with his efforts to better understand and improve the performance of his machine. In 1991, Torvalds got his first 386-Intel based PC, which ran a version of UNIX called Minix. Minix was developed as a learning system and was very popular in the universities. Torvalds found out very quickly

The Cathedral and the Bazaar Eric Steven Raymond cf text and copyright at: www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings Abstract I anatomize a successful open-source project, fetchmail, that was run as a deliberate test of some surprising theories about so=ware engineering suggested by the history of Linux. I discuss these theories in terms of two fundamentally di:erent development styles, the “cathedral” model of most of the commercial world versus the “bazaar” model of the Linux world. I show that these models

4. The GNU is the name of the compatible software system which Richard Stallman wrote so he could he could give it away free of any charge to anyone who could use it. Linux is a code that was created by Linus Torvalds to counter act the short comings in Minix. The GNU provided the kernel and the system programs. Linux provided the free source code. Many people through the internet have helped to develop Linux as it is today.

the Linux operating system did each provide? Who else has helped build and refine this operating system? GNU, which stands for Gnu’s Not UNIX, is the name for the com- plete UNIX-compatible software system, created by Richard Stallman. Linus Torvalds created Linux to counteract the shortcomings in MINIX. 1. Briefly, what does the process of installing an operating system such as Fedora/RHEL involve? Installing Fedora/RHEL is the process of copying operating system files from a CD, DVD
