They desire half of the employees to be using desktop computers and the other half to be using laptops. They also desire a wire-less network that can be utilized by the laptops and wire-less printing and scanning capabilities for the whole office. The desktops will be hard-wired to the…

Does the internet have a positive effect on our happiness? Today, the Internet plays a big role in our society. People enjoy the fact that they can have so much information from a computer or a phone, and it is so easy and simple to access. According to research that the average adult spends twenty hours per week on the internet. It is a big part in our lives, without it we would not be able to do many things that we do today.

Rooting the Samsung galaxy S4 Mini will give your Android operating system administrator permission like you would have with Windows operating system. It means you can play with the OS without any restrictions. Not having the restrictions gives you greater control over what you can install and have on your device -- that's the main reason for people wanting the root access. With the root access, we can install custom ROMs and change the device from the stock ROM that's given to you. You can also…

Abstract : This paper presents a practical implementation for simulating the pitching and yawing motions of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and its consequent control using an ARM based SBC Friendly ARM mini2440. A rotary encoder and adxl303 triple axis accelerometer has been used to measure the position and acceleration respectively. The emphasis of this paper is given on the interfacing of the sensors with Friendly ARM mini2440 and the resultant control algorithm implemented on the…

In his iconic book, “The Cathedral and the Bazaar: Musings on Linux and Open Source by an Accidental Revolutionary” (Raymond , 1999), contrast Raymond between two different work (or software develop) methods: the Cathedral model and the Bazaar model. According to the Cathedral model, which is more common in the commercial software companies, the develop of software is done by an exclusive group of software developers and the end user is getting (or buying) a close package with readymade source…

operating system used by many personal computers and businesses and is familiar to most computer users. Linux is not often found on a store-bought PC and is mainly used as a server’s OS or to host online services. Both are marketed toward two very diverse groups of computer users, but can give their users a similar feeling of freedom and accessibility. Security, compatibility, and usability of Windows and Linux share various components from one another, but are unique between each operating…

The kernel is not a fast food venor in this case but the system in which the operating system of the computer (such as Mac, Windows, Linux etc…) communicates with the cpu. What this bug has caused is a massive breach in the way this communication is happening because it has halted the communication from being coded allowing hackers to come in and destroy peoples systems. There should be a full investigation on Intel and any of the other affected chip makers and to prevent this from happening…

Often I am asked why I use Linux and if I would I would recommend it to them. I wish the answer was an easy one. I cant speak for every Linux user however, most that I have met have something similar in mind, Freedom. It usually begins with friends or other acquaintances that somehow coerced me into helping them fix or repair their computer. I always bring a decently equipped USB drive with all sorts of Windows programs to help debug and repair but my most valuable tool is my ArchLinux laptop…
