  • The Behringer PODCAST & RECORDING
    PODCAST & RECORDING QUICK-START GUIDE Welcome to the Behringer PODCAST & RECORDING quick-start guide Thank you for choosing one of our podcast-capable recording products. This top-notch hardware bundle lets you creatively produce professional-sounding podcasts, voice-over sessions, narration, and music projects for online distribution. If you’re a vlogger, you’ll have a superb pack of equipment to dramatically enhance the audio quality of your videos compared to the built-in camera microphone, giving your broadcasts a more professional appeal. Move up to the next step in the evolution of broadcasting and free yourself from the limitations of conventional communication. Podcasting Basics Before you get started, it is important to understand some of the terminology and uses surrounding the emerging field of podcasting. Podcasting is a term derived from the combination of the words “iPod” and “broadcasting,” and is defined as the distribution of audio or video files, such as radio programs or music clips, over the Internet. This is accomplished by using one of two syndication techniques that allow users to access media on such portable media devices as smart phones, tablets, MP3 players, and laptop computers. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and Atom are Web content syndication formats written in XML that provide either podcast content or summaries that link to content and additional file information. Podcast is a feed of audio or video files placed on the Internet for public access. Anyone can subscribe to the feed and download the media files. This allows you to collect programs from a wide range of sources for listening or viewing media content, either online or offline with your computer or an appropriate portable device.

    Prepared exclusively for Alison Tyler Download at Boykma.Com What readers are saying about Ubuntu Kung Fu Ubuntu Kung Fu is excellent. The tips are fun and the hope of discov- ering hidden gems makes it a worthwhile task. John Southern Former editor of Linux Magazine I enjoyed Ubuntu Kung Fu and learned some new things. I would rec- ommend this book—nice tips and a lot of fun to be had. Carthik Sharma Creator of the Ubuntu Blog (http://ubuntu.wordpress.com) Wow! There are some great tips here! I have used Ubuntu since April 2005, starting with version 5.04. I found much in this book to inspire me and to teach me, and it answered lingering questions I didn’t know I had. The book is a good resource that I will gladly recommend to both newcomers and veteran users.

  • Formal Aspects of Mobile Code Security
    FORMAL ASPECTS OF MOBILE CODE SECURITY RICHARD DREWS DEAN ADISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE FACULTY OF PRINCETON UNIVERSITY IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY RECOMMENDED FOR ACCEPTANCE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE JANUARY 1999 c Copyright by Richard Drews Dean, 1998. All Rights Reserved Abstract We believe that formal methods of all kinds are critical to mobile code security, as one route to gaining the assurance level necessary for running potentially hos- tile code on a routine basis. We begin by examining Java, and understanding the weaknesses in its architecture, on both design and implementation levels. Iden- tifying dynamic linking as a key problem, we produce a formal model of linking, and prove desirable properties about our model. This investigation leads to a deep understanding of the underlying problem. Finally, we turn our attention to crypto- graphic hash functions, and their analysis with binary decision diagrams (BDDs). We show that three commonly used hash functions (MD4, MD5, and SHA-1) do not offer ideal strength against second preimages. The ability of a cryptographic hash function to resist the finding of second preimages is critical for its use in digi- tal signature schemes: a second preimage enables the forgery of digital signatures, which would undermine confidence in digitally signed mobile code. Our results show that modern theorem provers and BDD-based reasoning tools are effective for reasoning about some of the key problems facing mobile code security today. iii Acknowledgments My advisor, Andrew Appel, offered sure guidance through what turned out to be an exceptionally smooth journey through graduate school.

This acquisition was not community has different attitudes towards GitHub is the idea without controversy, as it is well-known that the free software communities includes not only the ability to use software freely, of ‘forking’ so far, as it it is considered as a danger to FLOSS but also the libre nature in Open Source Software. In this study, development [10]. our aim is to explore these perceptions in FLOSS developers.

Declaration These doctoral studies were conducted under the supervision of Professor Chris Mitchell. The work presented in this thesis is the result of original research carried out by myself, in collaboration with others, whilst enrolled in the Department of Mathe- matics as a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. This work has not been submitted for any other degree or award in any other university or educational establishment. Waleed A. Alrodhan November 2010 3 Acknowledgements I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my academic supervisor, and my role model, Professor Chris J. Mitchell, for his invaluable support, interest, patience and guidance throughout my studies at Royal Holloway. Without his insightful ideas, superb comments and helpful feedback on my work, this thesis would never come into existence. Special thanks to Professor David W. Chadwick and Professor Keith Martin for their most valuable comments and support. By finishing this thesis, I am approaching the end of a very important part of my life, my wife's and my daughter's. I am deeply grateful to my beloved wife Enas, for her help, sacrifices, continuing support and encouragement; I would not have finished this thesis without her by my side.
