The Nevada Test Site (NTS) has served a crucial role in protecting the nation's security over the last 50 years. Changing national budgets and fiscal priorities have signaled dramatic adjustments for the NTS. Following the 1992 nuclear testing moratorium, the U.S. government has begun to make parts of the NTS available for private-sector use in an effort to generate money, utilize the Test Site's unique resources and capabilities, and provide economic development to southern Nevada. The initiative to attract private industry to the NTS is similar to activities taking place at other nuclear facilities across the nation. With a change …

The Open Source Revolution: Transforming The Software Industry With Help From The Government, Mitchell L. Stoltz
Pomona Senior Theses
A new method for making software is stealthily gaining ground in the computer industry, offering a promise of better, cheaper software and the empowerment of the user. The open source movement could revolutionize the software industry...if it succeeds. Open source means software that you are allowed to copy, modify, and give to friends. Source code , the lists of instructions which tell computers how to run, is readily available, allowing you to look inside the workings of a program and change it to suit your needs. A group of programmers, companies, users, and activists have gathered in support of this …

Wenn man es merkt, ist es zu spät: Die Daten sind futsch. Da hilft nur sachgerechte Aufbewahrung und regelmäßiges Umkopieren – aber wie oft?

For the acceptance of future network-based media services the technical advancement of the man-machine interface is of great importance. The Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and In- novation Research (ISI) in Karlsruhe has conducted an expert survey on different acceptance factors, on the future development of media usage behavior, on network infrastructure and terminal devices as well as on the expected market development. Drawing on the results we point out perspectives in the light of today’s user needs and the technical possibilities.

This article reviews the shaping forces in the last 30 years of Internet develop- ment. A case in point is the convergence of media, computers and telecom, of which the Internet has always been an important aspect. This historical process, which is widely recognized as at once technical, industrial and political, has been and will continue to be fiercely multi-party and multi-faceted. There are a variety of technical alternatives being fought over. Different interests represent different meanings of communications technologies as well, including ideals of private profit and universal access. It is still not clear whether the future of the …
