Telecommunications policy profoundly affects the economy and our everyday lives. Yet accounts of important telecommunications issues tend to be either superficial (and inaccurate) or mired in jargon and technical esoterica. In Digital Crossroads, Jonathan Nuechterlein and Philip Weiser offer a clear, balanced, and accessible analysis of competition policy issues in the telecommunications industry. After giving a big picture overview of the field, they present sharply reasoned analyses of the major technological, economic, and legal developments confronting communications policymakers in the twenty-first century.

This original survey explores the ways in which non-historical texts as well as historical ones can be used to construct Greek historical accounts.
It examines the fifth century authors Demosthenes, Lysias and Thucydides, as well as Greek tragedy and comedy.

X-NetStat displays information on your current Internet and network connections, much like the console netstat.exe program, but in a graphical interface. These connections are established each time you visit a web page, send an instant message, check your email, or anytime you do network activity that requires you to connect to another computer. They also appear when outside computers attempt to connect to your machine, authorized or not. Each connection is displayed in the Connection Table, where you can see the address you are connected to, what ports (local and remote) are being used, the connection status, how long the connection has been active, the program behind the connection, and how much bandwidth is being used.

ThumbsPlus makes it easy to find and maintain graphics, clip art, fonts, and animation files. By displaying a thumbnail of each file, ThumbsPlus lets you browse, view, edit, and crop images quickly and easily. The program will also let you launch external editors, copy images to the Clipboard, drag and drop graphics files among directories, create a slide show from selected graphics, install BMP files as Windows wallpaper, and use DDE commands to control ThumbsPlus from other programs. ThumbsPlus supports a variety of file formats, including Microsoft Image Composer (MIC), PNG, Silicon Graphics (RGB), Seattle Filmworks (SFW), and Minolta RD-175 (MDC).

Finally, a comprehensive guide to the Linux VM!
VM's behavior affects every Linux kernel subsystem and dramatically impacts overall performance. But until now, there was only one way to understand VM: study the poorly documented source one line at a time. Now there's an easier, faster alternative. This book describes VM in unprecedented detail, presenting both theoretical foundations and a line-by-line source code commentary. It systematically covers everything from physical memory description to out-of-memory management.

Linux has grown in popularity and is increasingly being adopted by home users and others who laud this nearly un-crashable, free operating system. But setting up a Linux OS can be tricky and time consuming. And managing a Linux system can be even more difficult if you don't have the right knowledge. Degunking Linux expertly shows readers how to save time (and money) by performing a number of important degunking tasks. With Degunking Linux's easy 12-step program, users will learn what Linux gunk is, how to keep their Linux desktop clean and organized, how to better manage personal and system-related files, how to make applications ran their best, how to get gunky and incompatible drivers and hardware to run smoothly, how to protect their precious data from dangerous viruses and hackers, how to clean up and improve Linux's security features, and much more. Linux users will learn the causes of sluggish performance and how to apply smart solutions to improve overall system performance.
