The need for SSL certificates has moved well beyond the “Buy” page to core functions of the enterprise. SSL certificates are used to protect remote employee and partner communications via webmail, chat and IM. Browser-to-server communications for cloud-based services require SSL certificates when used to display customer account information, business partner transactions and for employee pr…
It is now 7 years since I wrote the second edition of An Introduction to Network Programming with Java and so, when approached to produce a third edition, I felt that it was an appropriate time to agree to do so (possibly rather later than it should have been). One of the very first things that I did after being approached was examined the literature to find out what texts had been produced in…

To illustrate the statistical functions and techniques within Excel we have used examples drawn for the world of research. We chose to do this because we believe this will clearly demonstrate some of the facilities within this spreadsheet. However, the statistical power of Excel will allow readers to use this software in a variety of ways, far beyond that of research.

You have a thought. You want to write it down. You’re thinking your computer might be pretty good for that, but, surprise — it’s not. You need two things when you want to write. You need the words to say what you are thinking, and you need a place to put them. Before wikis, computer writing was all about the words. The computer could help you type them, spell them, hyphenate them, size…
Web 2.0 generally refers to a set of social, architectural, and design patterns resulting in the mass migration of business to the Internet as a platform. These patterns focus on the interaction models between communities, people, computers, and software. Human interactions are an important aspect of software architecture and, even more specifically, of the set of websites and web-based applica…
You can easily fi nd an application’s Start screen tile if you only have a small num- ber of tiles on the screen. But the more apps you install, the wider your Start screen becomes, which forces you to move around the screen to fi nd the apps you need. Windows 8 tablet users can quickly navigate the Start screen by swiping their fi ngers left and right. But traditional PC users can also mo…
In order to remain competitive in today’s global marketplace, organizations must constantly improve customer service, reduce IT overhead, and increase efficiency—frequently with fewer resources than ever before. This may seem like an impossible feat, but the advent of UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) has enabled many IT departments to be viewed as business drivers rather than cos…

Such lines were traced through their „wellnesses,‟ their crises, their creative and …

Kant is the most important figure in this book, as one would expect in a work that deals with late-eighteenth-century German philosophy. He is not, however, the only or even its main object of interest. As a matter of fact, Fichte will end up occupying just as much space as Kant. The main object of interest lies, however, in neither of these two philosophers but at the intersection of two theme…
This is a book about ethics, about right and wrong, and about good and bad in human life. But can we really tell moral right from wrong? Morality, many people think, is not like sci- ence, which deals in facts, but a matter of values, about which we can only have personal opinions. According to this point of view, there aren’t any moral facts, and this explains why people disagree so much ove…
As discussed above, there are many types, sub-types, variants, and sub-variants reported in the literature about security attacks in MANETs. The efforts carried out by the research community to understand and solve the different attacks are remarkable. However, the absence of valid classifications from a practical perspective can be seen in the in existence of studies that try to extract commo…
With these words, John Finnis, while still in his late 30s, began his masterwork, Natural Law and Natural Rights—the book that would not only revive scholarly interest in the venerable, but deeply misunderstood, idea of natural law and natural rights, but also powerfully challenge dominant ways of thinking among philosophers of law and moral and political philosophers in the analytic traditio…
