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.

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.

Degunking Microsoft Office takes Paraglyph's unique "degunking" approach and applies it to running and maintaining Microsoft Office. The key applications covered are Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint — the main culprits in creating gunk on your computer. Topics include: installing or upgrading MS Office, finding and eliminating unwanted or unneeded programs, app features that break and how to fix them, ways to enhance the Office suite, how to best use free third-party tools and utilities to save time, how to fix security issues and protect your files from viruses, how to create simple macros to improve efficiency, and much, much more. Readers will learn tips and tricks to easily maintain MS Office and prevent clutter from accumulating. Some of the important issues covered include what MS options can be changed and why; what buttons users can get rid of from the toolbars, and what commands can be removed from the menus; how to best degunk documents like Word files, presentations, and spreadsheets; and how to add useful commands and shortcuts to save valuable time. No matter how experienced you are with MS Office, this book is sure to teach you some new tips to make using Office easier.

The only comprehensive guide to every Internet topic-from ActiveX to XBRL
The definitive, three-volume Internet Encyclopedia covers every aspect of the Internet for professionals. This up-to-date compendium offers a broad perspective on the Internet as a business tool, an IT platform, and a medium for communications and commerce. It presents leading-edge theory and recent developments as described by global experts from such prestigious institutions as Stanford University and Harvard University, and such leading corporations as Microsoft and Sun Microsystems. Available in print or in subscription-based online format, it's the only resource that offers complete, up-to-the-moment coverage of fast-moving Internet technology.

Outsourcing is here to stay, whether you think that's a good thing or not. But there is one thing that's unquestionably bad for your business — doing outsourcing badly. A poorly planned initiative will not only fail to return expected economic benefits, but likely also cost your company in terms of its image with customers and employees. The simple fact is that today's businesses need to outsource to survive, but if they outsource poorly they might just die anyway.

Advanced Web-Based Training Strategies fills the gap in the literature available on this topic by offering a volume that includes meaningful, applicable, and proven strategies that can take the experienced instructional designer to the next level of web-based training.

"Progressing from the concrete to the abstract - and using numerous, substantial case studies and sample programs - this book explores structured problem solving, data abstraction, software engineering principles, and the comparative analysis of algorithms as fundamental tools of program design. Emphasizes principles of top-down refinement, program design, review, and testing. Uses the C programming language throughout. Offers internet access to the source code for all the programs and program extracts printed in the book.

In a surprisingly lively textbook-style treatment, Data Structures and Program Design in C++ delivers expertise and plenty of sample programs for the working C++ programmer or computer science student.

While some books on data structures stress theory and mathematical concepts over real-world sample code, this guide illustrates its tour of data structures - such as stacks, lists, queues, trees, and graphs - with clear, engaging samples. Throughout, the authors make use of built-in C++ features (such as the Standard Template Library [STL] and templates) where appropriate.

Early chapters use such interesting examples as Conway's Game of Life, chess and game programming, a simple calculator, and an airport simulation. Along the way, the reader will learn about lists, stacks, and queues.

In later chapters, covering thornier topics such as sorting algorithms, trees, and graphs, the authors do not skimp on the mathematical underpinnings for measuring efficiency. Instead, they take extreme care to introduce everything required to understand such conventions as the "Big O" notation and principles of logarithms."
