INTRODUCTION The HTML is a simple mark up language used to create hypertext documents that are platform independent. Here, platform independent means HTML documents work in the same way on different platforms and browsers. Historically, HTML documents are SGML documents with generic semantics that are appropriate for representing information from a wide range of domains.
  • The NTFS File System

    The NTFS File System

    The NTFS File System OVERVIEW: This lab is part of a series of lab exercises intended to support courseware for Forensics training. The development of this document is funded by the Department of Labor (DOL) Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) Grant No. TC-22525-11-60-A-48. In this lab, students will enumerate hosts on the network using various tools. This lab includes the following tasks: 1 – Examining the NTFS File System 2 – Using a HEX Editor to explore an NTFS Partition 3 – Verifying and viewing the image details 4 – Analyzing an NTFS Partition With Autopsy Key TermDescription The acronym NTFS stands for New Technology File System. The NTFS File System was originally introduced with the Windows NT. NTFS is a journaling file system which means it keeps a log of changes being written to the disk. If a computer is shutdown improperly, it will have a better NTFS chance of recovery if it has a journaling file system. Files and folder access can be restricted with the security feature of NTFS. Starting with Windows 2000, Microsoft included the Encrypted File System, or EFS, as an NTFS feature. EFS allows users to encrypt files to protect against unauthorized access. A Feature of the NTFS File system that allows you to encrypt files and folders. The feature EFS became available on the NTFS File system starting with Windows 2000, and is still available today on Windows 10 and Server 2016. An Alternate Data Stream, or ADS, is a feature of the NTFS file system that allowed compatibility ADS with older versions of the Mac OS.

    Maelstrom Web Browser Free Download

    maelstrom web browser free download 11 Interesting Web Browsers (That Aren’t Chrome) Whether it’s to peruse GitHub, send the odd tweetstorm or catch-up on the latest Netflix hit — Chrome’s the one . But when was the last time you actually considered any alternative? It’s close to three decades since the first browser arrived; chances are it’s been several years since you even looked beyond Chrome. There’s never been more choice and variety in what you use to build sites and surf the web (the 90s are back, right?) . So, here’s a run-down of 11 browsers that may be worth a look, for a variety of reasons . Brave: Stopping the trackers. Brave is an open-source browser, co-founded by Brendan Eich of Mozilla and JavaScript fame. It’s hoping it can ‘save the web’ . Available for a variety of desktop and mobile operating systems, Brave touts itself as a ‘faster and safer’ web browser. It achieves this, somewhat controversially, by automatically blocking ads and trackers. “Brave is the only approach to the Web that puts users first in ownership and control of their browsing data by blocking trackers by default, with no exceptions.” — Brendan Eich. Brave’s goal is to provide an alternative to the current system publishers employ of providing free content to users supported by advertising revenue. Developers are encouraged to contribute to the project on GitHub, and publishers are invited to become a partner in order to work towards an alternative way to earn from their content.

  • The GNOME Desktop Environment

    The GNOME Desktop Environment

    The GNOME desktop environment Miguel de Icaza ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Elliot Lee ([email protected]) Federico Mena ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Tom Tromey ([email protected]) April 27, 1998 Abstract We present an overview of the free GNU Network Object Model Environment (GNOME). GNOME is a suite of X11 GUI applications that provides joy to users and hackers alike. It has been designed for extensibility and automation by using CORBA and scripting languages throughout the code. GNOME is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL and the GNU LGPL and has been developed on the Internet by a loosely-coupled team of programmers. 1 Motivation Free operating systems1 are excellent at providing server-class services, and so are often the ideal choice for a server machine. However, the lack of a consistent user interface and of consumer-targeted applications has prevented free operating systems from reaching the vast majority of users — the desktop users. As such, the benefits of free software have only been enjoyed by the technically savvy computer user community. Most users are still locked into proprietary solutions for their desktop environments. By using GNOME, free operating systems will have a complete, user-friendly desktop which will provide users with powerful and easy-to-use graphical applications. Many people have suggested that the cause for the lack of free user-oriented appli- cations is that these do not provide enough excitement to hackers, as opposed to system- level programming. Since most of the GNOME code had to be written by hackers, we kept them happy: the magic recipe here is to design GNOME around an adrenaline response by trying to use exciting models and ideas in the applications.

    Chapter 24 Comparing Means 401 Chapter 24 – Comparing Means 1. Dogs and calories. Yes, the 95% confidence interval would contain 0. The high P-value means that we lack µµ− evidence of a difference, so 0 is a possible value for Meat Beef . 2. Dogs and sodium. Yes, the 95% confidence interval would contain 0. The high P-value means that we lack µµ− evidence of a difference, so 0 is a possible value for Meat Beef . 3. Dogs and fat. µµ− a) Plausible values for Meat Beef are all negative, so the mean fat content is probably higher for beef hot dogs. b) The fact that the confidence interval does not contain 0 indicates that the difference is significant. c) The corresponding alpha level is 10%. 4. Washers. µµ− a) Plausible values for Top Front are all negative, so the mean cycle time is probably higher for front loading machines. b) The fact that the confidence interval does not contain 0 indicates that the difference is significant. c) The corresponding alpha level is 2%. 5. Dogs and fat, second helping. a) False. The confidence interval is about means, not about individual hot dogs. b) False. The confidence interval is about means, not about individual hot dogs. c) True. d) False. Confidence intervals based on other samples will also try to estimate the true difference in population means. There’s not reason to expect other samples to conform to this result. e) True. 6.

    Pietro Aaron on Musica Plana: a Translation and Commentary on Book I of the Libri Tres De Institutione Harmonica (1516)

    Pietro Aaron on musica plana: A Translation and Commentary on Book I of the Libri tres de institutione harmonica (1516) Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Joseph Bester, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Charles Atkinson Burdette Green Copyright by Matthew Joseph Bester 2013 Abstract Historians of music theory long have recognized the importance of the sixteenth- century Florentine theorist Pietro Aaron for his influential vernacular treatises on practical matters concerning polyphony, most notably his Toscanello in musica (Venice, 1523) and his Trattato della natura et cognitione de tutti gli tuoni di canto figurato (Venice, 1525). Less often discussed is Aaron’s treatment of plainsong, the most complete statement of which occurs in the opening book of his first published treatise, the Libri tres de institutione harmonica (Bologna, 1516). The present dissertation aims to assess and contextualize Aaron’s perspective on the subject with a translation and commentary on the first book of the De institutione harmonica. The extensive commentary endeavors to situate Aaron’s treatment of plainsong more concretely within the history of music theory, with particular focus on some of the most prominent treatises that were circulating in the decades prior to the publication of the De institutione harmonica. This includes works by such well-known theorists as Marchetto da Padova, Johannes Tinctoris, and Franchinus Gaffurius, but equally significant are certain lesser-known practical works on the topic of plainsong from around the turn of the century, some of which are in the vernacular Italian, including Bonaventura da Brescia’s Breviloquium musicale (1497), the anonymous Compendium musices (1499), and the anonymous Quaestiones et solutiones (c.1500).
