The test applet is used to assess the state of java on a customer’s computer. The document is divided into three parts. Getting Started - This section provides a brief overview of the tool before moving into specific outputs. Cases - This section details the possible outputs you will get from the tool depending on the various states of Java on the client’s machine. Discussion – The discussion section outlines any behaviors that might fall outside of the normal cases. II. Getting Started The java test tool runs a very simple java applet which reports back the status of java on the customer’s computer. The link for the test applet is: http://test.callinfo.com Please have your customers type the address exactly as shown into their browser. A common mistake for some customers is to place the “www” before the link. It is highly encouraged that you run the test on your machine to familiarize yourself with the various outputs. Each test will have a green status bar that shows the progress of the test. At the conclusion of the test, the customer will receive feedback based upon their java version. The feedback will contain chairperson and participant compatibility information in the form of a green or red circle. A red circle signifies incompatibility and a green circle signifies compatibility.

  • Infrastructural Requirements for a Privacy Preserving Internet
    Infrastructural Requirements for a Privacy Preserving Internet Brad Rosen Fall 2003 Professor Feigenbaum Sensitive Information in the Wired World Abstract With much gusto, firms routinely sell “privacy enhancing technology” to enrich the web experience of typical consumers. Standards bodies have thrown in their hats, and even large organizations such as AT&T and IBM have gotten involved. Still, it seems no one has asked the question, “Are we trying to save a sinking ship?” “Are our ultimate goals actually achievable given the current framework?” This paper tries to examine the necessary infrastructure to support the goals of privacy enhancing technologies and the reasoning behind them.

  • Why Websites Can Change Without Warning
    Why Websites Can Change Without Warning WHY WOULD MY WEBSITE LOOK DIFFERENT WITHOUT NOTICE? HISTORY: Your website is a series of files & databases. Websites used to be “static” because ​ there were only a few ways to view them. Now we have a complex system, and telling your webmaster what device, operating system and browser is crucial, here’s why: TERMINOLOGY: You have a desktop or mobile “device”. Desktop computers and mobile ​ ​ ​ devices have “operating systems” which are software. To see your website, you’ll pull up a ​ ​ ​ ​ “browser” which is also software, to surf the Internet. Your website is a series of files that ​ ​ needs to be 100% compatible with all devices, operating systems and browsers. Your website is built on WordPress and gets a weekly check up (sometimes more often) to ​ ​ ​ see if any changes have occured. Your site could also be attacked with bad files, links, spam, comments and other annoying internet pests! Or other components will suddenly need updating which is nothing out of the ordinary. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE IF SOMETHING HAS CHANGED? Any update to the following can make your website look differently: There are 85 operating ​ systems (OS) that can update (without warning). And any of the most popular roughly 7 ​ ​ ​ browsers also update regularly which can affect your site visually and other ways. (Lists below) ​ Now, with an OS or browser update, your site’s 18 website components likely will need ​ ​ updating too. Once website updates are implemented, there are currently about 21 mobile ​ devices, and 141 desktop devices that need to be viewed for compatibility.
