connected to the field of software indicates that companies are abusing patents, which demonstrates an undermining of the integrity of patent law. Currently many powerful companies retain a great quantity of patents and this is leading to an unfair situation in the software world. One person can hold a patent and this prevents other from creating something even better if it is remotely seen as being similar to what is referred to in that original patent. There are software ideas that have…
I will never forget the first time I started programming. I started with the hopes of creating a “Triple A” game title or a physics engine for a game. Oh how naïve I was, I thought I would be able to program anything. With the sights of programming in my eyes one night I found myself alone in my room. The room was dark, the screen was bright and filled with white and a blinking cursor. I stared at it as it daunted me until the void in my mind finally expanded with the question “What do I do…
The service organization that I received training by was the Holiday Inn; I was hired to work at the front desk. I have worked in a couple different service jobs, but this particular one required training that I had never experienced before. After I got hired I had to complete various training exercises: video demonstrations, role plays, housekeeping duties, computer program test, tour of the building, and phone conversations. I had to pass each exercise in order to be on the schedule. There…
In today’s society, software companies are constantly pressured to deliver quality software projects at a strict deadline that must be met. As a result, companies must always renovate themselves and software developers must keep up with the latest technologies. However, software companies often resort to the premature release of software projects in order to meet deadlines. These projects are aesthetically complete and free of errors. Incomplete projects often fail their customers when they are…
EVALUATION Heuristic #1 The use of synchronous modes of CMC like text-chat and instant messaging are not requirements but merely suggestions made in Baker, et. al. 2002. All four RVCS do not offer these types of synchronous modes within their environments. Hence, synchronous CMC must be done out of band. However, all four RVCS do require the group member to provide comments as to what edits and changes were made and their rationale upon checking the artifact back into the repository following…
as computer laboratories are able to service high-volume traffic and provide relief to all users through multiple computers and allow for a number of tasks to be completed that normally can’t. Such tasks range from printing, to using specialized software such as NCLEX preparation or AutoCAD, to servicing individuals who may not have access to a computer or laptop at home. For me, I was once a student who utilized these services tremendously and was able to see how staff in a computer lab were…
Quantum Computing vs Conventional Computing Conventional computing methods are the ones we use normally in our day to day lives on our computers, cell phones, laptops etc. Methods employed to solve problems via conventional or classical computing are by far closest to the way a human brain performs them. In classical computing, information is stored in bits which are the discrete values of 1s and 0s. Performing operations on these discrete values on a classical machine is the same as performing…
Layer or Control Plane which is responsible for programming and managing the Forwarding Plane. Control Plane makes use of the information gathered by the Forwarding Plane in order to define the route and operation of the network. It is composed of software controllers that communicate with the forwarding network fundamentals through standard interfaces, referred also as the South Bound Interface. The last layer is called Application Layer which takes care of…
Underscoring virtually all of the conceptual difficulties of copyright protection for computer software is an uneasy match between a legal mechanism aimed at protecting the fruits of creative labor, which has evolved for centuries around artistic and literary concepts, and devices that control a machine. It is not surprising, therefore, that prior to the enactment of the Copyright Act of 1976 and the advent of mass-marketed computers for use in homes and small businesses, the interests of…
Extended deployments, however, necessary are not sustainable. Extended deployments vary in length and leaders must understand the ripple effect they have because it will impinge on every aspect of their operation. Personnel, maintenance, and overall readiness designate the key areas impacted. Therefore, this essay will examine the problems that extended deployments cause, discuss the significance, and offer recommendations to solve the matter. Problem While the Navy is no stranger to…
