If a better alternative does turn up, it could be made available within a few months of introduction, either as a standard keyboard or as an option. Although the keyboard layout is nearly final, it has not frozen since it is not yet on the critical path. One remaining potential variation is the possible removal of the cursor cluster from the layout. 2. Engineering is concerned that the current cost objectives may not be feasible. 3. Although there is no requirement to have the Problem Analysis Guide (PAG) stowed within LISA, Engineering will continue to pursue methods by which the PAG may be attached to the main unit.

However, there are states that have adopted broad-based merit aid programs outside of the Southeast. Guided by multiple theoretical frameworks, including innovation diffusion theory (e.g., Gray, 1973, 1994; Rogers, 2003), Roberts and King’s (1991) typology of public entrepreneurs, and Anderson’s (2003) stages of the policymaking process, this qualitative study sought to answer the following questions.

  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

  • Keystroke Recorder Attack on a Client/Server Infrastructure
    Keystroke Recorder Attack on a Client/Server Infrastructure Randy Marchany, Tom Wilson VA Tech Computing Center Blacksburg, VA 24060 8/2/96 Abstract This paper describes and analyzes a simple attack on a client/server infrastructure. We had no knowledge of the software being used by the client/server systems but did have moderate knowledge of the Macintosh computer. We built a trojan program that installs keystroke recorder software on target client systems without the owner’s knowledge. The recorder software captured all characters entered by the client software users. The recorder log was then transferred back to a Mac system for analysis. This attack can be Internet or Intranet based. This is a demonstration of the ability of a novice attacker to use sophisticated tools with success on a typcial client/server infrastructure. “No true hacker would ever admit to his peers that he could break into a Mac. What skill is there in that?” -Internet Truism 1.0 Introduction In general, standard PC and Mac operating systems do not employ adequate access controls to prevent anyone from installing unwanted software on the system. This poses one of the greatest threats to a company’s client/server structure. PC’s and Mac’s are vulnerable to a wide range of virus, trojan horse, and socially engineered software attacks. There has been considerable discussion on the security features of the client/server projects. IS staffs have anticipated that network sniffer software would be employed to intercept traffic between the client and server systems. A number of interlocking defenses such as data encryption and subnet isolation are being employed or considered by the IS staffs.
