A Scientist's and Engineer's Guide to Workstations and Supercomputers: Coping with Unix, RISC, Vectors, and Programming
A Scientist's and Engineer's Guide to Workstations and Supercomputers: Coping with Unix, RISC, Vectors, and Programming
A scientist’s and engineer’s guide to Workstations and Supercomputers Crack the Unix code and put its power to work for you. If you’re seeking such clear-cut guidance, your search will end with the first Unix survival manual designed specifically for practicing scientists and engineers like you. Avoiding the narrower concerns and complicated jargon of computer science, this guide shows you how to master the complexities of accomplishing computer projects—from start to finish—predominantly under a Unix operating system. With the help of clarifying examples and tutorials, you’ll learn how to write and organize files and programs as well as run, debug, and visualize the results of scientific programs on workstations and supercomputers. At the same time, you’ll discover how to complete these projects while working on other systems and on other versions of Unix. This user-friendly guide offers you the basics on Unix commands and on setting up and using workstations, and goes on to simplify the once-daunting tasks of transferring files between workstations and adjusting X Windows. You’ll also gain a solid grasp of more advanced Unix tools, such as its sophisticated editing, filing, and debugging capabilities, and of programming computers with differing architectures. Complete with accompanying computer disk packed with practice programs and data files, this book will increase your creativity, productivity, and effectiveness on the job by demonstrating how you can quickly learn to wield one of your most formidable tools—the Unix system. Covers all major versions of Unix and systems from major hardware vendors, including: System V, BSD, IBM’s AIX, SUNOS, HP-UX, Unicos.

PC Magazine Wireless Solutions
PC Magazine Wireless Solutions
Wireless is freedom. Wireless is now. And who better than PC Magazine to help you break free? Wireless is more than cell phones. It's Web surfing from your deck, or tuning up your Xbox? to take on opponents on the opposite coast. But whatever wireless is, it isn't simple--or it wasn't, until these two guys made it so. Here's the straight scoop on setup, security, trouble-shooting, wireless capabilities, and a whole lot more. Plenty of books will tell you how to build a wireless network, but only this one offers proven solutions from PC Magazine. No strings attached! Here's how to * Share printers, files, Internet connections and more--all without wires * Wirelessly connect your video, audio, and game consoles * Connect and control wireless "smart home" devices * Guard your Wi-Fi network against intruders withWEP and WPA encryption * Surf from anywhere in your home or office * Untether your employees for greater creativity and productivity * Take your wireless world on the road * Understand wireless standards and protocols * Learn how to choose the right wireless equipment A Taste of Honey A honeypot litters the airwaves with simulated access points, inviting intruders to take advantage of the network but. . . offering them no-where to go. Instead of trying to hide your real AP. . . you put it out with fake APs, hiding (it) by giving the intruder too much to do. -- From Chapter 8

Collect the whole series and make the most of your Apple digital lifestyle. From the Book: Just Say "No" to Blurry iPhone Photos On your Verizon iPhone 4, the main camera on the back of the phone is 5 megapixels, and it also includes a built-in LED flash for photographing low-light or dark scenes. By contrast, the previous generation iPhone—the 3GS—comes with a single 3-megapixel camera and no LED flash. So the iPhone camera hardware is gradually getting better, and the iPhone generally takes pretty good shots. However, probably the biggest problem most people have with iPhone photos is blurry images, which are caused by not holding the phone steady while taking the shot. Here are six things you can do to minimize or hopefully eliminate blurred shots: 1. Widen your stance to stabilize your body. 2. Lean your shoulder (at least) or your entire side (at best) against any nearby object, such as a wall, doorframe, or car. 3. Place your free arm across your torso with your forearm parallel to the ground, then rest the elbow of your "shooting" arm (that is, the one holding the iPhone) on the free arm, which should help steady your shooting arm. 4. Hold your breath... [Read More]
