Ken Thompson - Ken Thompson UNIX creators Ken Thompson (Left) and Dennis Ritchie (Right) Kenneth Thompson (born 1943) is an US computer scientist, notable for his influence on UNIX. He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. He received in Bachelor's degree and Master's degree, both in electrical engineering, from UC Berkeley. In 1969, while at Bell Labs, Thompson and Dennis Ritchie were the principal creators of the Unix operating system. Thompson also wrote the B programming language, a precursor to Dennis Ritchie's "C", one of the world's most commonly used programming languages. Later, while still at Bell Labs, he and Rob Pike were the principal creators of the Plan 9 operating system. He also wrote programs for generating the complete enumeration of chess endings, for all 4, 5,.

J.C.R. Licklider - the United States Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. He would then convince Ivan Sutherland, Bob Taylor, and Lawrence G. Roberts that this was a very important concept. In 1968, J.C.R. Licklider became director of Project MAC at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which he had provided the initial funding for while at DARPA. Project MAC produced both the first computer time-sharing system, CTSS, and one of the first online setups with the development of Multics in 1965. Just as important, Multics was the direct ancestor of the Unix operating system developed at Bell Labs by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie in 1970. So many of Licklider's visions are still with us today that the effect of his ideas can scarcely be quantified, especially with the explosion of the World.

Hacker - comparison between computer viruses and biological viruses, the obvious comparison here is to a bacterium. Vulnerability Scanner -- A tool used to quickly check computers on a network for known weaknesses. Hackers also use Port Scanners. These check to see which ports on a specified computer are "open" or available to acess the computer through. Exploit (computer science) -- A prepared application that takes advantage of a known weakness Social engineering -- Asking someone for the password or account (possibly over a beer.) Also includes looking over someone's shoulder while they enter their password, or posing as someone else in order to get sensitive information. Root kit -- A toolkit for hiding the fact that a computer's security has been compromised. Root kits may include replacements for system binaries so that.
Hayley Mills - Mills, who has a character in the soap opera Passions, and director Jonathan Mills. Mills was 13 when she was discovered by J. Lee Thompson, who was looking for a boy to play the lead role in Tiger Bay. She went on to take the lead in several other films, notably Whistle Down the Wind (1961). Walt Disney's wife loved her acting, and so she was contacted to participate in the Disney film The Parent Trap. She played a pair of twins who reunite their parents after a long time, and her acting earned her a special Oscar. Other Disney films in which she appeared included In Search of the Castaways, Summer Magic and That Darn Cat. She also acted in the film Kes, directed by Ken Loach (1969). In 1971,.

Fernando J. Corbató - System, an early version of which was demonstrated in 1961. The experience gained led to a second project, Multics, which was adopted by Honeywell. Multics, whilst not particularly commercially successful in itself, directly inspired Ken Thompson to develop Unix, the direct descendants of which are still in extremely wide use; it also served as a model for every other subsequent operating system design. Born in Oakland, California, Corbató received a bachelor's degree from the California Institute of Technology in 1950, and then a Ph.D in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1956. He joined MIT's Computation Center immediately upon graduation, became a professor in 1965, and stayed at MIT until he retired. Known as "Corby" to all of his associates, he is married to Emily.

Unix philosophy - Rule 3. Fancy algorithms are slow when n is small, and n is usually small. Fancy algorithms have big constants. Until you know that n is frequently going to be big, don't get fancy. (Even if n does get big, use Rule 2 first.) Rule 4. Fancy algorithms are buggier than simple ones, and they're much harder to implement. Use simple algorithms as well as simple data structures. Rule 5. Data dominates. If you've chosen the right data structures and organized things well, the algorithms will almost always be self-evident. Data structures, not algorithms, are central to programming. Rule 6. There is no Rule 6. Ken Thompson rephrased Pike's rule 4 as, "When in doubt, use brute force". Richard P. Gabriel suggests that a key advantage of Unix was that it.
Diane Abbott - was a civil servant and then between 1982-1987 a journalist. In the late 1980s she became the press officer of the Greater London Council (then led by Ken Livingstone). Diane Abbott was married to David Thompson until a divorce in the mid-90s, she has one son by that marriage. She attracted criticism from all political parties in late October 2003, after revealing her decision to send her son to the City of London School, one of the top private schools in the country, after having criticised Attorney General Harriet Harman for sending her son to a selective, although state, school in Orpington, Kent, and Tony Blair for sending his son to a similar school, the Brompton Oratory (which is also officially a state school).
Dennis Ritchie - Dennis Ritchie Ken Thompson & Dennis Ritchie (right) Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie (b. September 9, 1941) is a US computer scientist notable for his influence on ALTRAN, B, BCPL, C, Multics, and UNIX. Born in Bronxville, New York; Ritchie graduated from Harvard with degrees in physics and applied mathematics. In 1967, he began working at the Bell Labs' Computing Sciences Research Center; he is currently the head of Lucent Technologies' System Software Research Department. In 1983 he and Ken Thompson jointly received the Turing award "for their development of generic operating systems theory and specifically for the implementation of the UNIX operating system." Dennis Ritchie is often referred to as "DMR" in various Usenet newsgroups (such as comp.lang.c); he is the "R" of the K&R. Writings by Ritchie The.

Dassault Mirage III - more ambitious design that was 30% heavier than the Mirage I and was powered by the new 43.2 kN (4,400 kg / 9,700 lb) thrust SNECMA Atar afterburning turbojet. The Atar was an axial flow turbojet, derived from German World War II BMW designs. The new fighter design was named the "Mirage III". It incorporated the new "area ruling" concept, where a changes to the cross section of an aircraft were made as gradual as possible, resulting the famous "wasp waist" configuration of many supersonic fighters. Like the Mirage I, the Mirage III had provision for a SEPR rocket engine. The prototype Mirage III flew on 17 November 1956, and attained a speed of Mach 1.52 on its seventh flight. The prototype was then fitted with the SEPR rocket engine and.
