The ability to construct reliable network software is a vital skill for many of today's programmers and at the same time, Java's comprehensive libraries of readily-accessible network programming features ensure that Java remains at the forefront of network software development. The 1st edition of this book provided a streamlined work that could serve as the core text on an undergraduate module and as the quick, clear, no-nonsense guide required by an IT professional. Notable amongst its features were its many code examples, screenshots and exercises. This 2nd edition retains these features and in addition includes: language changes throughout the examples, largely reflecting the significant changes introduced by J2SE 5.0; comprehensive update of support software, particularly that used for Web applications; new material, such as non-blocking servers and the use of the DataSource interface and Data Access Objects (DAOs) for connecting to remote database;

Computer Networks , Tanenbaum, 4th Edition

Author: Andrew S. Tanenbaum

Format: pdf

From the Publisher:
The world's leading introduction to networking—fully updated for tomorrow's key technologies.

Computer Networks, Fourth Edition is the ideal introduction to today's networks—and tomorrow's. This classic best seller has been thoroughly updated to reflect the newest and most important networking technologies with a special emphasis on wireless networking, including 802.11, Bluetooth, broadband wireless, ad hoc networks, i-mode, and WAP. But fixed networks have not been ignored either with coverage of ADSL, gigabit Ethernet, peer-to-peer networks, NAT, and MPLS. And there is lots of new material on applications, including over 60 pages on the Web, plus Internet radio, voice over IP, and video on demand.Finally, the coverage of network security has been revised and expanded to fill an entire chapter.

Author, educator, and researcher Andrew S. Tanenbaum, winner of the ACM Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award, carefully explains how networks work on the inside, from underlying hardware at the physical layer up through the top-level application layer. Tanenbaum covers all this and more:

Physical layer (e.g., copper, fiber, wireless, satellites, and Internet over cable)
Data link layer (e.g., protocol principles, protocol verification, HDLC, and PPP)
MAC Sublayer (e.g., gigabit Ethernet, 802.11, broadband wireless, and switching)
Network layer (e.g., routing algorithms, congestion control, QoS, IPv4, and IPv6)
Transport layer (e.g., socket programming, UDP, TCP, RTP, and network performance)
Application layer (e.g., e-mail, the Web, PHP, wireless Web, MP3, and streamingaudio)
Network security (e.g., AES, RSA, quantum cryptography, IPsec, and Web security)
The book gives detailed descriptions of the principles associated with each layer and presents many examples drawn from the Internet and wireless networks.

Building the Perfect PC, Second Edition

Book Description
This popular Build-It-Yourself (BIY) PC book covers everything you want to know about building your own system: Planning and picking out the right components, step-by-step instructions for assembling your perfect PC, and an insightful discussion of why you'd want to do it in the first place. Most big brand computers from HP, Dell and others use lower-quality components so they can meet their aggressive pricing targets. But component manufacturers also make high-quality parts that you can either purchase directly, or obtain through distributors and resellers. Consumers and corporations alike are opting to build rather than buy PCs to ensure high quality and compatibility.

The new edition of Building the Perfect PC shows you how to construct a variety of top-flight systems with the latest technology, including AMD Socket AM-2 and Intel Core 2 processors, that are Vista- and Linux-ready. The book includes several new options, including:

* A Budget PC you can build for approximately $350 that offers performance and reliability similar to that of mainstream systems
* A full-blown media-center system that runs Linux and MythTV or Windows MCE with multiple tuners and HDTV support
* A fire-breathing high-performance gaming system
* A fast, low-power, low-heat, low-noise, Small Form Factor system (the size of a shoe box)
* A low-cost SOHO (small office, home office) server system with a 2 terabyte (2,000 GB) disk subsystem that's suitable for a residential environment rather than a server closet

Regardless of your technical experience, Building the Perfect PC will guide you through the entire process of building or upgrading your own computer. You'll use the latest top-quality components, including Intel's Core 2 Duo and AMD's Athlon X2 CPUs. And you'll know exactly what's under the hood and how to fix or upgrade your PC, should that become necessary. Not only is the process fun, but the result is often less expensive and always better quality and far more satisfying than anything you could buy off the shelf.

Beyond Logos: New Definitions of Corporate Identity

Corporate identity, the design and marketing buzzphrase of the 80s and 90s, has undergone a revolution in the last five years. Now the talk is of branding. With the growth of globalisation and the increasing realisation among corporations large and small that this is their only way of distinguishing themselves, large sections of the design industry have adapted to offer new services and meet the new branding challenges.

Arranged in thematic chapters with an introduction, this book identifies and deconstructs the kind of corporate move that turns a footwear store into a ‘cathedral’ and a cigarette brand into a smoker’s retreat. It tracks the rise of the brand and pinpoints the role played by design companies in creating the experience economy - a world in which corporations do not have identities but brands, visions, big ideas. Beyond Logos shows how, as we enter the 21st century, we are being taken beyond logos.

Clare Dowdy is the former features editor of UK design industry journal DesignWeek and now news editor of wallpaper* magazine. She writes on design and branding for the Financial Times, Blueprint and Graphics International.

Hundreds of species of plants contain the chemical substances we call hallucinogens, and have been altering the thoughts, moods, and perceptions of animals and people all over the world for thousands of years.
A hallucinogen user may “see” a song, “hear” purple, or hold seemingly coherent conversations with family pets or house plants. A minute can feel like hours, and hours can feel like seconds. A user might become intrigued by a piece of furniture that appears to walk about the dining room, a wall that seems to breathe, or a rainbow of colors that appears streaming from his or her outstretched hand.

Twilight Zone comics Free E-Books Download

I collected several 1000's comicbooks in the last years and i am planning to put them on a reguraly basis on this forum.
I only collected them and made them less big in bites with advanced jpeg compressing so the quality is still good and they take lesser space on the disk and are easier ro download, in stead of 1 by 1 the most downloads consist of 10 or more issues in one.
So the credits goes to the scanners and original uploaders.

This is Twilight Zone

Twilight Zone literature is an umbrella term for the many books and comic books which concern or adapt The Twilight Zone television series.

The Twilight Zone was a pioneer in this area, preceding the more popular literary movements which would follow Star Trek or Star Wars and which is now a staple of all successful movies, television series and video games.

Gold Key Comics published a long-running Twilight Zone comic that featured the likeness of Serling introducing both original stories and occasional adaptations of episodes. The comic outlived the television series by nearly 20 years and Serling by nearly a decade. A later revival of Twilight Zone comics was published by Now Comics, spinning off of the 1980s revival of the show.

Tree-Kangaroos: Of Australia and New-Guinea

---

Product Description
To many people, the suggestion that a kangaroo could live up a tree is fantasy. Yet, in the rainforests of far north Queensland and New Guinea, there are extraordinary kangaroos that do just that. Many aspects of their anatomy and biology (particularly their bipedal hopping ability) suggest a terrestrial kangaroo ancestor. Yet no one has, so far, come forward with a convincing explanation of how, why and when an animal that was so superbly adapted for life on the ground should end up back in the trees. This book reviews the natural history and biology of tree-kangaroos from the time of their first discovery by Europeans in the jungles of West Papua in 1846 right up to present day, covering the latest research being conducted in Australia and New Guinea. Combining information from a number of disparate disciplines, the author sets forth the first explanation of this apparent evolutionary conundrum.

About the Author
Roger Martin has had an enduring interest in the natural history, conservation and management of Australias forest mammals for more than 30 years. Described by Tim Flannery as one of the most experienced field zoologists that I know, he has published numerous scientific papers, written popular articles and lectured in wildlife courses to tertiary students. Since the late 1980s, he has studied Australias rarest tree-kangaroo, Bennetts Tree-kangaroo, in the monsoon forests of Far North Queensland.

Learn Irish: MP3 Audio Format

---

Pimsleur Irish lessons make advanced language training accessible to any adult learner. Based on Dr. Paul Pimsleur's years of research,
the Pimsleur Irish language courses combine scientific techniques of memory recall with spoken instruction from native speakers.

You can learn Irish more quickly and effectively than you've ever thought possible with Pimsleur. The difference?
Other language programs try to drill in vocabulary with boring repetition and rote memorization, which only makes you sleepy.
Using proven research from one of the first language labs in the country, Dr. Pimsleur discovered exactly how students learn languages,
and realized that there was a pattern to retaining new vocabulary and knowledge.

After reporting his findings to journals and university lectures, Pimsleur developed coursework and released his approach to learning as the Pimsleur series we know today.
Over thirty years ago, Dr. Pimsleur and his partner Charles Heinle (who founded Pimsleur Direct) created the Pimsleur Irish tapes to help people learn Irish fast.
Sold exclusively to university language programs for years, the Pimsleur method is now accessible to everyone.

This set of compact discs contains the complete 4 hours of Pimsleur's Quick & Simple Irish foreign language training.
The set of four compact discs has 8 lesson sets designed to enable listeners to speak basic Irish with native-like pronunciation, enabling basic survival skills, travel and courtesy.
