Extractions: "This discussion specifically excludes the four-function calculators of Odhner design which were particularly well suited to general calculation purposes but not very efficient for the high volume business "totaling" application." The adding machine was (and still is) most usually an "adder/lister" meaning that it added to its total register and printed each item after being "set" into the keyboard and a handle or bar operated. Both were originally limited to addition and complementary subtraction. Direct subtraction, multiplication and division would have to wait another 20 to 30 years and never appear on key-driven calculators, only key-set machines. The second difference involves how the machine accepted keyed entries. With adding machines, a two step process was required. Values had first to be "set" into the keyboard and then a crank operated to add it to the running total and print it to the listing device. The key-driven calculator, on the other hand, having no listing mechanism to deal with, added each keyed digit as it was entered to the running total with no second operation required. The difficulties involved in combining a key-driven design with a printing mechanism proved such a challenge that the machine had virtually no impact on the market for adding machines.

The robot performs its task admirablynot necessarily a foregone conclusion in the Caltech machine shop, where dysfunctional robots have been known to come into creation. Van Deusen, ever the diplomat, passes by without commenting one way or the other. "In ME 72 we bite our tongues a lot," Van Deusen says later. The robot the two undergrads have built is pretty much a set of felt-lined caterpillar treads linked by a single aluminum bar. Controlled by radio and powered by small electric motors, the device exists for the purpose of racing up an ever-steepening wall, retrieving as many hockey pucks resting on the wall as possible, and, ideally, winning the coveted first-place award in the famed Mechanical Engineering 72 contest. Van Deusen's purpose, on the other hand, is to show the students how to use the machines, give them advice on how best to achieve what they are trying to achieve, and makes sure they use the high-powered equipment of the machine shop safely. Van Deusen is the guy who consults with the students as they build their machines for the ME 72 competition each Decembera public contest that attracts virtually the entire Caltech campus and usually a fair number of Los Angeles and national media outlets. As manager of the Caltech machine shop, he provides instruction on how to do the fixing and making that will be very much a part of every student's life, to one degree or another. After all, mechanical engineering is the process of creating a new thing to solve an often poorly defined and open-ended problembe it exploration of a new world or mechanical delivery of a new drug.

Extractions: E-MAIL IS THE Internet's killer app. Yet the future of e-mail is in serious jeopardy by the ever-increasing torrent of unwanted e-mail that fills our inboxes and clogs our mail servers. The statistics are frightening. According to Brightmail, an antispam company, 40 percent of all e-mail is now spam, and nearly 15 percent of all spam is pornographic, up from 5 percent last year. Pornographic spam is an affront to many Internet users, creating a hostile workplace and opening employers to the threat of litigation. Brightmail operates a "probe network" built from old e-mail addresses at some of the world's largest (and smallest) ISPs. Whenever lots of mailboxes receive messages that are similar, the messages are sent to Brightmail's operations center, where human beings look at the messages and determine if they are spam. In November 2002, Brightmail's experts uncovered 5.5 million spam "attacks," each consisting of between several thousand and several million messages. Many ISPs have strict policies against spamming. If spam is sent out from your computer, your Internet connection can be terminated without notice or other warnings. Imagine my astonishment in late November when I discovered that more than 100,000 spam messages had been sent to Hotmail from the network connection in my own basement. Here's what happened.

Extractions: World Machine is a terrain heightfield generator that takes a slightly different approach than the norm. Most available terrain creation software uses the "masterpiece" approach: you dabble a bit here and there until all is perfected and if something goes wrong at any step, or you decide after 30 minutes that you want to use a different basic terrain shape, all is lost. World Machine takes a different approach. The heightfield generation process is viewed in an object-oriented fashion; components that perform different actions are wired together like an electric circuit, allowing you to change anything, at any time in the heightfield pipeline. This control over every step of the terrain process is what makes World Machine unique among (freeware) terrain synthesis tools.

Using Srvtabs In Stanford's Kerberos Environment It can be used by a machine or an application to prove its identity withina Kerberos realm (eg, Stanford's Kerberos v4 realm, IR.STANFORD.EDU). http://lelandsystems.stanford.edu/services/kerberos/sysadmin/help/srvtabs.html
Extractions: Using Srvtabs in Stanford's Kerberos Environment A srvtab is a Kerberos identity for something other than a user. It can be used by a machine or an application to prove its identity within a Kerberos realm (e.g., Stanford's Kerberos v4 realm, IR.STANFORD.EDU). This is important because there are many applications that run independent of any particular user, yet still do things that require authentication, such as use AFS or communicate with other kerberized services (such as the harvester). Also, Kerberos principals that belong to machines (rcmd.*) are used by Kerberos to ensure that a user is logging in to the machine he is intending to log in to. There are four major types of srvtabs used in Stanford's Kerberos realm, rcmd.*, ident.*, pop.*, and service.*. The most common of these is rcmd.*, which are srvtabs that are associated with machines. The primary use of these is verifying the identity of a computer when a user tries to log in using Kerberos. One of the features of Kerberos is that all authentication is two way, both the entity requesting service and the entity providing service have to prove their identity. Here is documentation on requesting an rcmd.* srvtab for your machine.

Extractions: In june of 1752, in Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin performed what may be the most famous scientific experiment of all time by flying a kite in a thunderstorm. In so doing, he verified his theory that lightning is a form of electricity. The experimental apparatus consisted of an ordinary kite with a footlong metal spike attached to its end to attract lightning. At the bottom of the kite string was a key, which absorbed the electricity from the lightning. To keep himself from being electrocuted, Franklin put a length of silk thread between the key and his hand. He stood inside a shed and flew the kite through a window to keep the silk dry and thus non-conducting. When lightning struck, the spike, the kite, the string (which was wet, allowing it to conduct electricity easily), and the key all became electrified. A finger placed near the string attracted its fibers; a knuckle next to the key brought forth sparks. The electricity that was captured in the key could be used to perform all the same experiments and demonstrations as ordinary electricity. One practical benefit that came out of the experiments was the protective lightning rod. Franklin gave instructions for building such a device in his 1753 edition of

Forum File FA0001000092531 For the reasons explained below, the panel has reached the unanimous conclusion that the domain name should not be transferred to the Complainant. THE DOMAIN NAME This dispute concerns the domain name craftwork.com . The registrar for this domain name is Network Solutions, Inc. THE PARTIES The Complainant is General Machine Products Company, Inc., 3111 Old Lincoln Highway, Trevose, PA 19053 ("General Machine" or Complainant). According to the Complaint, General Machine operates a varied business and has been using the CRAFTWORK trademark to identify a wide range of products used in the utility construction field since 1989. Respondent Prime Domains ("Prime Domains"), P.O. Box 9911, Washington, DC 20016, registered the craftwork.com domain name with Network Solutions on November 4, 1998. Prime Domains alleges that it is in the business of identifying domain names comprised of generic or descriptive terms, registering those domain names, selling them to interested parties, and developing Web sites using those domain names for clients.

Extractions: As I reviewed this month's CrossTalk theme articles on programming languages, I found it interesting to look back at the evolution of programming during the last 30 years. You can probably guess my age when I admit that the first programs I wrote in college were in machine code. Lt. Col. Thomas M. Schorsch and Dr. David A. Cook begin this issue with their article Evolutionary Trends of Programming Languages . The authors discuss the typical generations of programming languages defining first, second, and third generations, then admit that there is probably no general agreement on what constitutes fourth, fifth, and future generations of languages. (Of course, I actually related to writing programs in a first-generation or machine-code language. One assignment I remember required us to actually write a fully functional program with a limitation of 100 bytes of storage.) Schorsch and Cook go on to describe several general evolutionary trends that have influenced programming languages, as well as some specific recent advances. After discussing many different languages and how they came about, the authors conclude that throughout this total evolution the basic role of a programming languages does not change. This role is to allow the developer to easily express abstract ideas in a language that a machine can execute.

Events YARDLEY, PA, December 4, 2002 - In another example of how Trading Partner Connect, Prophet 21's Internet trading network, is streamlining the supply chain, AutoCrib, a leader in inventory management solutions, and Machine Tools Supply, a distributor of machine tools, have formed a trading relationship and are now conducting business electronically -improving customer service and reducing operational costs. "The trading partnership between AutoCrib and Machine Tools Supply is a perfect example of how Trading Partner Connect streamlines the commerce process for distributors and the companies they do business with," says Chuck Boyle, president and CEO of Prophet 21. "Both Auto Crib and Machine Tool Supply were early adopters of Trading Partner Connect and are today reaping the benefits offered by the Internet trading network." Trading Partner Connect has enabled AutoCrib to download restocking orders directly from their vending machines on shop room floors and automatically place purchase orders with its distributors. Bruce Weaver, vice president of AutoCrib, notes a drastic reduction in re-keying errors often associated with these types of transactions because with Trading Partner Connect all information flows from one software system to the next. "We have also eliminated the need to send tag files back to our AutoCrib clients, saving us time and money," Weaver adds. "Trading Partner Connect sends back an advanced ship notice that takes the place of the old AutoCrib tag system."

Extractions: London, UK Pages ISBN It no longer seems strange to me to write book reviews on a computer small enough to balance on my knee. Every once in a while, though, when I mention to students that I did my first programming with punched cards, and see the disbelief in their eyes, I am reminded how fast and how far computing has come. "The Dream Machine" a new documentary series jointly produced by the BBC and WGBH-TV in Boston, tells the story of that journey. From the mechanical calculators built during the Enlightenment by Pascal and Liebniz, to the Victorian Gothic of Babbage's Analytic Engine and the fragile complexity of Colossus, the code-breaking machine constructed at Bletchley Park during the Second World War, the development of computers rarely touched everyday life. But by the 1950s, electronic computers were sufficiently cheap and reliable to be adopted by business and industry. Twenty years later, the invention of integrated circuits brought them into the home; today, children are as comfortable with drawing packages and Nintendo games as children of my generation were with television. This story has been told so often that one must wonder what is to be gained from another re-telling, either on television or in this "book of the series". One answer is that any story well told is worth telling, and the authors of this book tell their story well. Their tone is informal, but not inexact; the introduce the technical terms they need where and as they need them, and use them un-self-consciously thereafter.
The Children's Machine By Seymour Papert One educator's positive review of Papert's book 'His philosophy of learning contrasts sharply with Category Computers History Pioneers Papert, Seymour Whether or not Papert's Knowledge machine or his little schools become a Relinquishingcontrol may prove challenging given that change in education at the turn http://www.stemnet.nf.ca/~elmurphy/emurphy/papert.html
Extractions: Basic Books, New York Children, computers, and learning: these are the themes Papert weaves together in The Children's Machine . According to Papert, we are entering the "age of learning" during which time the "competitive ability is the ability to learn". It is the revolution in technology that has simultaneously brought about the need for improvements in learning as well as providing the opportunity to improve "learning environments". New technologies will enhance learning particularly for children through "the creation of personal media capable of supporting a wide range of intellectual styles". Papert's philosophy of learning contrasts sharply with his depiction of schools' epistemology. According to Papert, schools should favour a more "partial", "qualitative", "interconnected" "personal", "concrete", "intuitive" "nonformalized" way of knowing. He draws on the field of Cybernetics with its epistemology of "managed vagueness" that considers "ways to make the best use of limited knowledge". "Bricolage" or tinkering is the idea he evokes to describe an image of "improvisational" learning with "self-directed activities" that ressemble play and that simulate "the way children learn in non-school settings".
