Countdown Y2K by Peter de Jager,Richard Bergeon Pdf

"For a book written about computers, and the management of technology, and the management of the people who have to manage the technology, Countdown displays unusual clarity and logic. Not only is the array of checklists and 'ask yourself' questions effective, they are also efficient." -Bruce Chapman, President, Discovery Institute Countdown Y2K Written by the experts who first sounded the international Y2K wake-up call, this complete update of the bestseller Managing 00 gives you the need-to-know facts about the most far-reaching computer glitch of all time. You'll find easy-to-follow explanations of the entire scope of the problem from the desktop to embedded systems, from the corporate backoffice to corporate liability, and from revenue loss to infrastructure failure.

Peter de Jager and Richard Bergeon also provide an updated picture of Y2K government activities and Y2K remediation progress worldwide. An extensive case study provides a snapshot of a hypothetical business in the process of evaluating Year 2000 risks. This and other valuable tools will help you formulate your own end-to-end Y2K survival plan.

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE BIGGEST CRISIS EVER TO THREATEN MODERN CIVILIZATION? The Y2K computer crisis, the inability of computers to recognize the two-digit year "00", is about to affect every aspect of our lives. This may well be how the new millennium starts: -- There's no electricity, water, or telephone service -- You can't refill your prescription -- your pharmacy is unable to access your health plan's records -- You won't receive a Social Security or VA check for months -- the government is in complete chaos -- All ATMs are down -- no bank transactions are possible and there's a shortage of currency -- Airplanes can't fly, traffic lights don't work, and cars with computer systems can't be operated -- Your balances at your bank or investment company, your credit card records, your insurance policy, and any contracts you hold are in dire jeopardy ...and that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Internet Programming with OmniMark by Mark Baker Pdf

"I have been using OmniMark for a decade to solve many different kinds of information management problems. When OmniMark Technologies Corporation added features to their excellent language that allowed server functionality and database access, OmniMark became an even better, more powerful platform for data processing. When they made it free, it made me wonder why anyone is still using Perl. I have used OmniMark as a very stable middle-tier programming language that is lightning fast, scaleable, and really fun to use. The language has a certain elegance that, once you learn how to `think OmniMark', you never want to even consider the alternatives. The native hierarchical architecture of the language, plus its luxuriously rich pattern matching syntax and support for structured information using XML and SGML parsing, make OmniMark a real joy. "This book covers the core language, plus practical examples for common Internet programming applications. OmniMark is such a powerful program that I can't think of any Internet programming problem that can't be solved with OmniMark. This book makes that clear in real, understandable terms." -Brian Travis, is the author of OmniMark At Work Volume 1: Getting Started and XML and SOAP Programming for Biz-Talk® Servers "OmniMark has been the secret weapon of markup language programmers since the earliest days of SGML. Its new XML support should bring it to a far wider audience." -Charles F. Goldfarb, is the inventor of SGML and author of The XML Handbook.

A Christian's Journey of Thoughts by Jeanisha Wan Pdf

Many books have been written in the past about journeys. There are stories written about journey to the center of the earth, journey to the depths of the sea, journey to the outer space and even journeying through time. Our Christian life is a journey too, that we began the moment we came to accept Christ as our Lord and Savior. It is a journey with a destination; eternal life with Christ in heaven. And as with most journeys, it is not without its challenges and trials. This book is a compilation of articles that I have written in my Christian journey, that details my reflections and thoughts as I journey with Christ. While some of them may be personal experiences, others are my reflections over contemporary issues in life. Our journey and the road we take will determine whether we will reach our destination.

Spooked by Daniel Baldino Pdf

Terrorist acts, most notably 9/11 and the Bali bombings, transformed our attitudes to the secretive world of intelligence, surveillance and security. In this book a prominent group of writers including Michael Mori, Ben Saul, Anne Aly and Peter Leahy lay bare the facts about spying and security in post-9/11 Australia. Their compelling book cuts through panic and fear-mongering to ask hard questions: Is ASIO unaccountable? Is the money we spend on security worth it? Is cyber-terrorism an urgent threat? Are our spies up to the job, and how do we know anyway as we only hear about their failures? Is WikiLeaks good for human rights? Are we trading our privacy for a false sense of security? Spooked untangles the half-truths, conspiracy theories and controversies about the ‘war on terror’, and is a welcome antidote to misinformation and alarm.

Epic Fails by Salvador Jiménez Murguía Pdf

Many of the most successful innovations—from the light bulb to the Internet—have often resulted from ingenuity, ambition, and dedication. Such achievements have changed lives for the better. Yet for every new development that the public embraces, there is a dark side of progress: cultural byproducts that litter the road to obscurity. Just because something is a failure, however, doesn’t necessarily mean that it shouldn’t matter. In Epic Fails: The Edsel, the Mullet, and Other Icons of Unpopular Culture, Salvador Jiménez Murguía examines some of the most iconic missteps of the past several decades. In order to shed light on the inherent, often comic strain in American life between fame and infamy, the author surveys some of the best—or rather, worst—of what man has to offer. From fashion flops like the mullet and Zubaz pants to marketing mistakes like Bud Dry, New Coke, and Crystal Pepsi, this text captures the unintentionally entertaining milieu of failure. Placing these gaffes in cultural context, Murguía considers how each of these products crashed and burned, while trying to arrive at an answer to the ultimate question: “What were they thinking?” Whether these attempts were doomed from the start, failed because of consumer indifference, or were simply the victims of poor timing, this book returns them, however briefly, to the spotlight. A fascinating look at man-made disasters, Epic Fails isan entertaining treatise about the forgotten—and infamous—endeavors of American creativity, or lack thereof.
