Why do you think it is difficult to get management to allocate money to pay
for patching?
Many company senior managers, including company owners and Chief Executive
Officers (CEOs) see patches to applications and operating systems as part
of the minimum level of service any software company should provide as part
of their purchase price. This is especially true in the area of larger,
enterprise-class applications where companies pay a percentage of the cost
of their applications every year for service and support. Yet companies
like Oracle continue to charge for patches and updates to their database
and many other applications. The logic is that if a software operating
system or application is not fully functional when first purchases, a
customer should not have to pay for a patch to make it work. Many
companies are moving to open source software as a result of this cost.
Why do you think most national governments have not moved to outlaw spam?
For European governments they are slow to move to outlaw SPAM because of
the fear they will somehow limit a person's civil liberties. For other
nations, SPAM is not seen as part of a legal offense; this is specifically
the case in several nations throughout Africa for example. There are also
those nations so hungry for economic growth that they embrace any type of
commerce activity, and this has been the case in China for example, which
does not police against spamming. The U.S. government on the other hand
has been aggressive about prosecuting spammers and sending them to prison.
You are a fairly small company:
a) Should you use a firewall?
Yes, most definitely, as any hacker could get to your company's record,
even spoof your e-mail addresses and send SPAM or other e-mails using your
company's identity.
b) Should you use antivirus systems?
Yes, as any small business will have spent a large percentage of their
total budgets on PCs and laptops, and a virus could make these assets
inoperable fast. Anti-virus will save e-mail systems, the company network,
and ultimately hundreds of hours of lost time.
c) Should you use and intrusion-detection system?
Yes and many firewalls now include this feature specifically to track and
block anyone who tries unsuccessfully to break into a company network via a
website, FTP link, or any other approach to gaining access to a company's
systems.
thinking is multi-faceted. As president and founder of Compass, a real estate company in Italy, my approach needed to be multi-demensional in nature. For one, Italy has high debt burdens which are often financed through governments and large corporations. Starting a real estate company therefore was challenging as I had to analyze the potential market in a manner that was unconventional. In many areas, particularly in the United States,
Leadership Any degree of comprehensive analysis of Nannerl Keohane's non-fiction book, Thinking About Leadership, reveals that the author had a number of eminent reasons for writing this manuscript. The overarching theme which this work of literature is based upon, however, is what sort of qualities, traits, and tendencies are necessary to produce the most efficacious form of leadership possible. To that end, the author rarely strays from this task while utilizing
Maps to increase comprehension for ESL's English as a Second Language Learner The academic achievement gap between linguistic minority groups and other students is a persistent problem for the American public school system (Thernstrom and Thernstrom, 2003). The pattern of underachievement and a high school dropout rate for Hispanic/Latino students among immigrant groups is particularly pronounced (Wong Fillmore & Meyer, 1992) Of the school-aged English Language Learner (ELL) population, 73% come
Challenges Faced in Preparing for the Debate Four challenges I faced in preparing for the debate were: 1) understanding the logic of my own argument—i.e., identifying the premise, assuring myself of its validity, and constructing my argument so that it logically followed from the premise to the conclusion; 2) identifying the counter-argument; 3) understanding the counter-argument’s logical fallacies and/or invalid premise; and 4) rebutting the counter-argument. The first challenge for me—understanding my

Thinking Critically About Visuals: Lady Gaga According to the text, knowledge is generated through the use of existing concepts derived from past experiences. As we assimilate new information, we generate new concepts. But quite often, the new information which seems most salient to us is that which resonates with our preexisting ideas. The question then arises how innovative artists can create new ideas and cause people to question their preconceived notions.
