This chapter is mostly about searching for programs, folders, files, and messages that are inside, or directly connected to, user's computer. Understanding how searches work in Windows 10 is critical to performing quick, successful searches. Most searches are performed on an index. The index is like the index at the back of this or any other book. The quick and easy way to find a program, Windows 10 app, favorite website, file, contact, or e-mail message is to search right from the taskbar search field. User can do AND and OR searches from the Start menu. The chapter talks about these kinds of searches in more detail. When conducting searches in Windows 10, the searches do not look exclusively at file and folder names — they look at the contents of files, tags, and properties as well.

Electronic mail today is largely send unencrypted. With the increasing use of modern technology, the opportunity to gain information for negative purposes arises. While there are some methods that can be used to prevent attacks on electronic mail, these methods can take time to implement, and usually have deficiencies. Ssmail provides one way to solve one problem. By providing an experimental ... [Show full abstract] command that expands the ESMTP protocol used by Sendmail and other mailer programs, ssmail reduces the chance of passive attacks on electronic mail. The experimental command uses encryption technology, but does not prevent active attacks on electronic mail sent from machine to machine. Ssmail could also increase the awareness of encryption technology in the general community. 1. Introduction Every day, thousands of pieces of electronic mail, or email, are sent back and forth throughout networks. Frequently these messages are virtually open letters to be read as they are passed from computer to c...

The Design of a Squishy Mouse

October 1988 · Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting

Peter R. Nolan

Five research studies were conducted to specify the physical description of a novel mouse for an office computer. The mouse had side buttons that when pressed at the same time, moved or scrolled the contents of the active window. The studies examined accidental activation of both the side buttons and the top buttons, whether the mouse should be single button or have multiple buttons on its top ... [Show full abstract] surface, the back width dimension, volume and silhouette, top button position, and side button size and position. Each study provided data that was used in the next study, after it was reviewed by a design team. This case study shows that in design/development environments, quick, iterative studies serve the needs of design teams by providing successive approximations to the final design in a timely fashion. The utility of this method is compared to a multifactorial design.

Le degre de la variete des courbes de Poncelet

October 2007

Yann Sepulcre

We compute the degree of the projective variety of Poncelet curves of degree $n$. This variety is irreducible of dimension $2 n + 5$, and lies inside the projective space of degree $n$ plane curves. It is classically defined as the closure on this projective space of the locally closed subset of curves passing through the vertices of some nondegenerate $n$ sided polygone inscribed in some smooth ... [Show full abstract] conic (the polygone and the conic being variable). It is related to a specific class of semi-stable sheaves on the projective (dual) plane, named Poncelet sheaves. Using moduli spaces birational to the variety of Poncelet curves, we compute the requested degree. It involves quite cumbersome computations, and we obtain general formulas for $n \geq 4$. We do numerical applications for $n \leq 6$. For $n=4$ we find back the well known Donaldson number of the projective plane, 54, which is the degree of the hypersurface of Luroth quartics.

The Darknet and the Future of Content Distribution

December 2003

We investigate the darknet - a collection of networks and technologies used to share digital content. The darknet is not a separate physical network but an application and protocol layer riding on existing networks. Examples of darknets are peer-to-peer file sharing, CD and DVD copying, and key or password sharing on email and newsgroups. The last few years have seen vast increases in the ... [Show full abstract] darknet's aggregate bandwidth, reliability, usability, size of shared library, and availability of search engines. In this paper we categorize and analyze existing and future darknets, from both the technical and legal perspectives. We speculate that there will be short-term impediments to the effectiveness of the darknet as a distribution mechanism, but ultimately the darknet-genie will not be put back into the bottle. In view of this hypothesis, we examine the relevance of content protection and content distribution architectures.

How Do I Create Differently Styled Sections?

January 2009

David Powers

Way back in Chapter 1, I warned you that it’s easy to slip into the habit of overusing CSS classes. If you examine the style sheet used in this book’s main case study (you can find it in css/journey_20.css in the download files for this chapter), you’ll see that it uses classes very sparingly. Instead, I have relied on using type selectors to redefine the default look of HTML tags. I have also ... [Show full abstract] used the adjacent sibling selector-such as h1+p, which styles a paragraph only if it comes immediately after an 〈h1〉 heading—to target certain elements without the need to add class attributes to the HTML markup. Other selectors used so far include ID selectors, descendant selectors, and pseudo-classes.

RECEIVING CALLS: WORKING ON RECEPTION / SWITCHBOARD

June 2014

Adrian Wallwork

If you are on the switchboard and you receive a call: state the name of your company, say ‘good morning’, and ask how you can help. Before transferring a call, find out: name of caller, name of person caller wants to speak to, why caller is ringing. If person requested is not available, tell caller when the person will be available and / or how to contact the person via email or mobile. Choose ... [Show full abstract] the right level of formality. Choose the easiest phrases to say. Use will to say what you are going to do next, and the present perfect to say what you have done. Be proactive, helpful and friendly. If you are having difficulty understanding, ask the caller to send an email. Ask the caller to call back if you feel that you are unable to respond effectively.

An Implementation of Rational Functions in PCL

April 1995

Wolfgang Windsteiger

The main aim of our work with PCL, a kind of "object-oriented" expansion of COMMON-LISP, is to test whether it is suitable for the implementation of our Grobner bases package. Criteria for this are speed and the facility of generic programming. For this purpose we implemented the domain of Rational Functions . For arithmetic in this field it is necessary to compute the greatest common divisor ... [Show full abstract] (gcd) of two multivariate polynomials, which was the main effort of this work. 1 Introduction In this paper a generic implementation of Rational Functions is described. Arithmetic for the occurring polynomials is independent of the domain of coefficients. Special attention was focussed on the gcd of polynomials as simplification-algorithm for Rational Functions. The modular approach goes back to [Knuth 69], [Brown 71] and [Collins 72]. In our implementation we follow the description given in [Davenport 88] and [Winkler 88] for computing the gcd of polynomials. The gcd is computed modulo several ...
