Value Chain Analysis Of Perforce Helix
While Git is easily most popular choice for many developers in a range from small or large companies around the world, there is an alternative
enterprise–orientation version control that offers much better capabilities and that is called Perforce Helix. Because Helix is entirely flexible, it offers
its own native distribution version control features, security restrictions based on the file level of user access, lock digital assets (or files) that cannot

Public Libraries Should Not Block Internet Pornography
Since the internet has been available in schools and libraries in this country, there has been a debate about what should be accessible to users,
especially minors. The amount of information disseminated on the world wide web is vast, with some sources valuable for scholarly and personal
research and entertainment, and some sources that contain material that is objectionable to some (ie. pornography, gambling, hate groups sites, violent
materials). Some information potentially accessible on the internet such as child pornography and obscenity is strictly illegal and is not protected under
the First Amendment. Some information available on the internet that may be valuable to some is at the same time perceived to be worthless or ... Show

Plaintiffs claimed that constitutionally protected materials were wrongly blocked and that the Loudoun Policy violated their First Amendment rights.
The court agreed and found the Loudoun Policy of filtering for all patrons unconstitutional. The court held that there were less restrictive means
available to achieve the privacy level demanded by the Loudoun County community than interfering with free speech. Less restrictive, in the court's
opinion, were privacy screens for computer monitors and a certain degree of physical monitoring by library staff.
Congress made an attempt to place content–based restrictions on school and public library internet use in the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA)

form of E–rate discounts or Library Services and Technology Act grants). Should a library refuse to comply with CIPA guidelines, that library would
have to maintain its technological services without the government discount or LSTA grants. Holding to the CIPA guidelines, both the E

– Detective Constable Brian Stevens, 41 – an officer on the Holly and Jessica double murder case – has been charged with indecently assaulting three

The questions that are rising in light of this multi–national cyber crime are: Can there be effective legislation to regulate pornographic and offensive
websites when the country of origin may lack the will or means to enforce it? Which jurisdictional domain do such cases fall into? That of the

Computer Security and Data Encryption
DRM is a technology that protects digital content via encryption and the access control mechanisms that allow a user to view the digital content. In
general, to control what we can and can't do with the media and hardware we've purchased. 1.Historical perspective of DRM The practices of
copyright protection and DRM have been around since decades ago. In fact, when the Altair BASIC was first introduced in 1975, the Homebrew
Computer Club (a computer hobbyists club) member made unauthorized copies of Altair basic software and distributed them at the club meeting. At
that time, MITS Company licensed the software from "Micro–soft" (now Microsoft). Although MITS has been selling thousand computers a month,
Micro–Soft wasn't getting much royalty fees since basic copies have been distributed illegally. This led to the famous open letter "open letter to
hobbyists" by Bill Gates which he expressed his frustrations towards the hobbyists. In the letter, he said "As the majority of hobbyists must be
aware, most of you steal your software. Hardware must be paid for, but software is something to share. Who cares if the people who worked on it
get paid? Is this fair?" But the first implementation of DRM only came about in 1983 by Japanese Engineer Ryoichi Mori and it was implemented in
Software Service System (SSS) which is later redefined as Superdistribution. The main focus of SSS was to protect the unauthorized copying by

(Hentoff 12) The largest controversy that surrounds censoring the Internet is what information should be considered "offensive". The Internet can be
viewed in many different ways. It can be considered a carrier of common data, similar to a phone company, which must ignore what is broadcast for
privacy reasons. Or, it can be considered a distributor and broadcaster of information, much like a television or radio station, which is responsible for
what it broadcasts and has to conform to federal standards and regulations. This argument is the main concern of the censorship matter. "The Internet
is a carrier of information, and not a broadcaster, since it only provides the basic structure for information transfer and sharing. ("Cyberchaos") But
this angers lawmakers. The current laws existing today do not apply well to the Internet. The Internet cannot be viewed as one type of transfer
medium under current broadcast definitions ("Muzzling the Internet"). One large difference that sets the Internet apart from a broadcasting media is
the fact that one can't stumble across a vulgar or obscene site without first entering an address or following a link from another page. There are
exceptions, of course, but for the most part, if one wants to find "dirty" material on the Internet, they have to go out and look for it. "The Internet is

There are many different groups that choose to implement internet filtering software on computers that they own. Among these groups are libraries,
schools, employers, and parents. In December of 2000, the United States Congress passed the Children's Internet Protection Act (CHIPA), which is
legislation that forced public and private libraries as well as schools that are federally funded through certain federal programs to install internet content
blocking software for both child and adult users alike. If libraries and schools that chose to implement the internet blocking technology on their
computers were compensated or benefited monetarily through additional government subsidy would have been fine, but when the government is
federally mandating censorship it is a direct violation of individuals' rights to free speech and expression guaranteed by the first amendment of the Bill
of Rights to the Constitution of the United States of America. In an educational organizations' letter to legislation, a strong opposition was expressed
regarding the mandated "censorware" in schools and libraries across the nation. Several points were made in opposition to the internet content filters.

ISP–level filter for all houses based on the Australian Communication and Media Authority (ACMA) "blacklist" of Refused Classification (RC)
websites. Another one is a series of grants to encourage ISPs to offer a filter for additional content, such as X–rated pornography and gambling sites
(Levin J, 2010). The RC material being caught in the filter may contain the information on topics which adults and even children may simply want to
engage in some debate such as euthanasia, safe injecting procedures, abortion or even graffiti. These are grey areas in what may be considered banned

This was the entire concept behind the Napster model.
This approach worked great and made fantastic use of the Internet's architecture. By spreading the load for file downloading across millions of
machines, Napster accomplished what would have been impossible any other way. The central database for song titles was Napster's Achilles' heel.
When the court ordered Napster to stop the music, the absence of a central database killed the entire Napster network. With Napster gone, what you
had at that point was something like 100 million people around the world hungry to share more and more files. It was only a matter of time before
another system came along to fill the gap.[ii]
Napster made downloading music over the Internet common practice. Since the Federal Government closed Napster, several new alternatives for file
sharing have been creates. Kazaa, Morpheus, Gnutella all rely on peer–to peer networking rather than a central server. Copyrighted materials continue
to be distributed through peer–to–peer file sharing, but these systems are more difficult to shut down due to their decentralized control. Unlike
Napster, which relied on central file servers, most new systems use a decentralized approach that relies on the local networks and computer resources
of individual users. The peer–to–peer approach to file sharing requires cooperation among users and depends on the central processing unit (CPU),

If the update contains changes that would conflict with the local changes, local copy goes into conflict state. The changes on the local copy needs to
be reviewed and should be marked as resolved after complying with the changes of the repository.
The changes may be stored in the repository using various models. The simplest model is snapshots, where a complete copy of the data set is stored
for each version. For certain data types, this method is still employed – such as in the version control of images, binary media where determination of
atomic data unit is not necessarily well defined. For data sets that have a well defined atomic data unit, the most common method is changesets
(deltas), where only the modified atomic data units are stored with each version. This, in most cases, provides significant saving in repository storage
space.
The changeset method, however, comes with the need of data set construction in order to get to a certain version of it. For example, in order to check
out the latest version of the data set, a build process is required starting from the initial version of the data set (version 1), incorporating each delta, all
the way to the last version, traversing the complete version tree. A typical software project repository is composed of thousands of versions. Assuming

Though the laws that Congress are proposing to regulate the Internet are well intentioned, I strongly believe that the Internet should not be censored
because any law encroaching on the people's right to free speech is a obvious breach of First Amendment rights and because laws limiting Internet
speech are too broad and unenforceable on this global medium.
To understand why legislators are attempting to censor the Internet despite the fact that it is absurd and Unconstitutional, one must first understand
how the Internet came to be and how it conceptually works. According to Internet historian Dave Kristula, the first inklings of the Internet began in
the United States in 1969 as a network of four servers called the APRANET. ARPA (the Advanced Research Projects Agency), a division of the
Department of Defense, created the ARPANET for military research so that the information on the network would be decentralized and could survive
a nuclear strike. The network continued to grow in size and speed as technology increased over the next two decades. Standards began to set in such
as the TCP/IP protocol for network transmission of data. By 1990 the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) had been created to standardize the way in
which Internet documents are sent and received (Kristula).
By 1994, the APRANET was disbanded, and the Internet became a public network connecting more than 3,000,000 computers together worldwide.

The CDA was restrained by a lower court until the supreme court could have a hearing on the matter.
The Supreme Court heard argument from both the senators who originally proposed the bill and from people concerned with the broadness of the act.
The supreme court eventually determined that the CDA was indeed unconstitutional, violating not only the first amendment, but also the fifth due to
the vague wording used. In the opinion statement Justice Stevens said:
The vagueness of the CDA is a matter of special concern for two reasons. First, the CDA is a content based regulation of speech. The vagueness of
such a regulation raises special First Amendment concerns because of its obvious chilling effect on free speech. Second, the CDA is a criminal statute.
In addition to the opprobrium and stigma of a criminal conviction, the CDA threatens violators with penalties including up to two years in prison for
each act of violation. The severity of criminal sanctions may well cause speakers to remain silent rather than communicate even arguably unlawful
words, ideas, and images.ii
The Supreme Court has always based their decisions on free speech on one base concept, the idea that certain speech can be punished, but cannot be

The dilemma is to support the American Library Associations Bill of Rights and the First Amendment Right of Free Speech or tolimit access to the
Internet by censoring or blocking out undesirable information, and thus going against the right of free speech. On July 2, 1997 the American Library
Association (ALA) adopted a resolution affirming that "the use of filtering software by libraries to block access to constitutionally protected speech

Computer Programming And Software Design Essay
INTRODUCTION
An important, underrated and often overlooked tool for Computer Supported Collaborative Work, henceforth abbreviated CSCW, is the revision
control system or version control system, henceforth abbreviated as RCS, or VCS, respectively. There are a plethora of RCS and VCS available from
which to choose. Within the field of computer programming and software design, the use of RCS or VCS is a vital best practice, especially in
development environments with many programmers, developers, engineers, administrators, and managers. However, RCS or VCS can and should be
used wherever there are larger groups of CSCW regardless of the domain. Henceforth, RCS and VCS shall be referred to as any generic revision or
version control system, abbreviated as RVCS. The significance of evaluating various RVCS becomes apparent by demonstrating and illustrating their
importance. Such evaluation is then used to produce or derive guidelines that streamline the selection of the RVCS for a particular CSCW group.
WHAT EXACTLY IS RVCS?
One way to begin operationally defining RVCS is with the simple concept of artifacts and deliverables produced, created, developed or engineered by
the CSCW group. The sharing of such artifacts is essential in the operations of the CSCW group (Schmidt, et. al., 2015). Typically, such modern day
artifacts or deliverables consist of documents, spreadsheets, diagrams, charts, tables, graphs, reports, presentations, and other multimedia. In the domain

Libraries Should Use Software Filters for Internet Access
Libraries Should Use Software Filters for Internet Access
Public libraries provide us with a large amount of information. Residents can borrow books from libraries. Libraries also provide Internet access for
everyone, including children. Since parents cannot control what then children are seeing on the Internet in libraries, children can access pornographic
or violent sites easily. So, public libraries should restrict Internet access by utilizing filtering software to prevent children from seeing those
inappropriate sites. The American Libraries Association (ALA) insists that it is improper for public libraries to use filtering software since libraries
have to provide broad materials for patrons. Their claim that filtering software ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Finally, the ALA says that filtering software is made for the parental control in homes. It is not suitable, they assert, for public libraries to use the
software. Libraries should provide broad, uncensored for their patrons. So information in libraries may be limited by filtering control. The ALA
also claims that public institutions are supported primarily by local public tax monies, so libraries are obligated to meet the information needs of
the entire community or school population, while upholding the basic principles of the First Amendment ("American Library" 1). People tend to
think that a lot of adult sited exist on the web pages because accessing rates of those sites are very high. So people also think that restriction limits a
large amount of information and sites on the Internet. In fact, the adult sites account for a small percentage of all. Estimates of the prevalence of
adult sites range from one to three percent of all the Internet web sites (Burt 2). The numbers of those sites look big, but it is just because there are
many visitors to those pages. Since the adult sites account for a small percentage of all sites, the web sites that are restricted by filtering software
must be a small portion as well. A library's mission is to provide proper observation to patrons in communities, since it is free for everyone to get

America Needs Internet Censorship Essay
Tears begin to fall down a child's face. Her body goes into shock out of fear. Her mother warned her about watching inappropriate content, and there it
was, right on her computer screen. This could not have happened though. All she was doing was casually browsing the internet before a pop–up

As a matter of fact, those individuals with damaging thoughts are the ones that watch and produce pornography. Additionally, "exposure to obscene
material correlates with increased rapes, prostitution, child molestation, violent crime, the abuse of women, and sex addiction in men" (Hacker 5).
Many of these correlations are a result of ideas that pornography planted in minds. Pornography alone does not cause people to commit a sexual crime,
but it affects minds enough to influence people to act in an unethical way.
Censoring the internet would also protect the minds of citizens from corrupt propaganda. Propaganda that is placed by the government is generally
misleading and discourages deep thinking. An example is Obama's campaign in 2008. "People loved [Obama's campaign], but many did not
understand what type of change he was talking about. Such propaganda stirred passions and made people feel good, but it did not allow people to
think critically about the issues. Rather, Obama smartly played off anti–incumbent sentiment that was sweeping the nation" (Snowball 71). Other
times, the government will place propaganda on the internet to influence citizens to take a certain action. According to John Turner, "voters are being
misled by the propaganda of think tanks and the Coalition." Propaganda serves as part of government coercion. The propaganda seems to be an

Parental Control is an Essential Measure in Raising 21st Century Kids
In the modern–day and age, we are constantly consuming a variety of information. A number of sources such as the Internet, television, and the phone
allow everyone to access the data they consume to watch sites such as extreme violence and pornography, especially for young adults and children
because it is extremely difficult to get rid of this addiction once a person has started viewing pornography. While grown–ups can recognize between
what is right and wrong and safely control their developed minds, children are much more perceptive towards its unsafe content and thus kids are more
likely to be addicted to watching pornography, causing problems for them in their later lives. Therefore, parents passing on vital information regarding

Depending on the license, copies or derivatives of intellectual property is forbidden without given permission. There's no plausible work around for
completely stealing the work of another, especially if you were aware and intentionally aiming to traffic or out profit the source. However, it's an
entirely different conclusion when it comes to the structure of content; take software for example. Supported by court cases such as Sega Enterprises,
Ltd. v. Accolade, Inc. and Atari Games v. Nintendo, reverse engineering software such as BIOSs are debatably respecting the articles mentioned above
since they're not taking the other's intellectual property but instead the set instructions to execute something. My personal suggestion to BIOS creators
is to encrypt their microchip's software to prevent reversals. It's still not patentable but engineers would find it nearly impossible to understand.
Breaking down the basic structures of items to understand them better falls under the fair use category if it's for research or to aid the public (a vague
condition so to speak). Sure, it's done without permission, but one doesn't need permission to use content under fair use; everything falls on the ethical

Essay about The Fight Against Child Pornography
In recent years, pornography has established itself as perhaps the most controversial topic arising out of the use of the Internet. The easy availability of
this type of sexually explicit material has caused a panic among government officials, family groups, religious groups and law enforcement bodies and
this panic has been perpetuated in the media.
One of the unique challenges to regulating or settling on the appropriate way to regulate is that there is no concrete definition of pornography. While
law enforcement bodies such as the police, prosecutors and judges, are accustomed to dealing with issues that are exclusive to the United States, the
Internet is a worldwide community with servers and members coming ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The second real issue is finding a way to regulate and enforce the removal of material that is agreed upon as being inappropriate for anyone to have
on the Internet. I am specifically touching on the issue of child pornography. While it is illegal in the United States, as it is in many countries,
government and law enforcement officials are having a difficult time catching offenders who post this type of material. So with this type of problem
concerning pornography this issue is not deciding on appropriate means of regulation, but rather how to enforce the regulation already in place.
It is obvious that for years, the government has been trying to regulate this type of content but has seen very limited success. Part of the reason for this
is because certain regulatory actions intended to protect only a small group, such as children, should not require the prohibition of material that adults
have access to in other arenas. It is for example, legal for people to rent pornographic movies or buy nude magazines, so distribution of this type of
material on the Internet should not be completely limited. People shouting out for protection of their 1st Amendment rights have made a good point
when arguing against complete censorship. What seems more feasible is a sort of multi–layered approach to regulate illegal and harmful content on the
Net. This would make it possible to form some sort of insulation for children

Alas for society, the Communications Decency Act was transcended by an "admittedly internet–illiterate congress" (Quittner). One of the problems
caused by censorship is one with sites deemed as pornographic. Parents reasonably do not want their children to view this content. As a preventative
measure, censors believe that such sites should not be viewed by anyone on the internet. Instead of banning every website that contains content to be
even slightly offensive, society must research better preventative measures to halt the viewing of such content by specific audiences. This will allow
for the viewing of these sites for appropriate audiences. "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press" (First
Amendment of the United States Constitution). Democracy is a system that only when its inhabitants are free to express their ideas openly can they be
governed effectively (Bender). Congress directly violates the First Amendment by embargoing websites with questionable content. This violation
occurs during the overturning of the Communications Decency Act (CDA). Stewart Dalzell, a judge who was a member of the panel called to review

When people think about things being censored they think about TV and Radio stations; they don't think about computers. For example when you

too restrictive on what can and cannot be searched. As students we will have to learn how to evaluate the accuracy of the website with all the filters

Physical Security Management (Mohamed)
Although online businesses conduct majority of their dealings through on an online platform they still require the need to maintain physical security of
all the technologies that are responsible for keeping the online platform up and running. Companies such as Google have recognized that passwords
and simple bearer tokens such as cookies are not enough to keep information safe, which is why they have suggested technologies such as
smartcard–embedded finger rings to authorize permissions of computers usage (International Business, 2012).
Ultimately, online businesses should prioritize the regular maintenance of their servers and hardware just as much, if not more than, traditional
businesses because in essence the assets and day to day operations are performed solely through the servers and technologies that are given that task.
The sheer amount of information being transmitted and processed for an online business should cause the head of the business to ensure the physical
security of the servers by placing them in various locations, redundancy is crucial in the case of a disaster, and by only allowing authorized personnel

Censorship is not limited to repressive regimes or network television. Weather we know it or not censorship is happening all the time throughout the
day. We censor ourselves, we listen to censored music and as students we see the internet being heavily censored in school. The Children's Internet
Protection Act (CIPA) was signed into law in 2000; the law requires any public schools or library to filter any inappropriate content from the
computers being used by minors. Since the law has been put in place, schools across America have installed programs that use keywords to designate
certain types of websites off–limits to students while using the schools internet server. The problem with these filtering programs is that they block
many sites that are not pornographic or obscene in nature, Instead they tend to block sites dealing with controversial but not inappropriate content.
Although the CIPA was created to protect, it has been used as a soft form ofcensorship in schools.
The CIPA states that a library orschool cannot receive the discounts offered by the e–rate program unless they have an internet safety policy that has
technology protection measures. The filter program must be able to filter pictures and content that are obscene, pornographic or harmful to minors
from computers that are being accessed by minors (Reitman). The CIPA has multiple major flaws in its plan. It does not protect enough where it needs

  • 3. Public Libraries Should Not Block Internet Pornography Since the internet has been available in schools and libraries in this country, there has been a debate about what should be accessible to users, especially minors. The amount of information disseminated on the world wide web is vast, with some sources valuable for scholarly and personal research and entertainment, and some sources that contain material that is objectionable to some (ie. pornography, gambling, hate groups sites, violent materials). Some information potentially accessible on the internet such as child pornography and obscenity is strictly illegal and is not protected under the First Amendment.

Plaintiffs claimed that constitutionally protected materials were wrongly blocked and that the Loudoun Policy violated their First Amendment rights. The court agreed and found the Loudoun Policy of filtering for all patrons unconstitutional. The court held that there were less restrictive means available to achieve the privacy level demanded by the Loudoun County community than interfering with free speech. Less restrictive, in the court's opinion, were privacy screens for computer monitors and a certain degree of physical monitoring by library staff. Congress made an attempt to place content–based restrictions on school and public library internet use in the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) of 2000. This act requires the use of some type of internet filtering software for all public libraries that attain funds from the Federal government (in the form of E–rate discounts or Library Services and Technology Act grants). Should a library refuse to comply with CIPA guidelines, that library would have to maintain its technological services without the government discount or LSTA grants. Holding to the CIPA guidelines, both the E –rate and LSTA stipulate that filters may be disabled or 'legitimate' sites unblocked by adults who request it, but it is unclear "whether libraries 'must' provide for such disabling" (Anten 79). After CIPA was passed, it was immediately challenged by the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The charges are not related to the double murder in Soham. – Police say many child porn sites are run from Eastern Europe. Britain's high–tech crime unit has been working with police in countries such as Romania to shut them down. The questions that are rising in light of this multi–national cyber crime are: Can there be effective legislation to regulate pornographic and offensive websites when the country of origin may lack the will or means to enforce it? Which jurisdictional domain do such cases fall into? That of the point–of–origin, or the point–of–access? These and other dilemmas are created by the non–physical, non–geographical reality of the cyberspace.

  • 6. Computer Security and Data Encryption DRM is a technology that protects digital content via encryption and the access control mechanisms that allow a user to view the digital content. In general, to control what we can and can't do with the media and hardware we've purchased. 1.Historical perspective of DRM The practices of copyright protection and DRM have been around since decades ago. In fact, when the Altair BASIC was first introduced in 1975, the Homebrew Computer Club (a computer hobbyists club) member made unauthorized copies of Altair basic software and distributed them at the club meeting. At that time, MITS Company licensed the software from "Micro–soft" (now Microsoft). Although MITS has been selling thousand computers a month, Micro–Soft wasn't getting much royalty fees since basic copies have been distributed illegally. This led to the famous open letter "open letter to hobbyists" by Bill Gates which he expressed his frustrations towards the hobbyists. In the letter, he said "As the majority of hobbyists must be aware, most of you steal your software. Hardware must be paid for, but software is something to share. Who cares if the people who worked on it get paid? Is this fair?" But the first implementation of DRM only came about in 1983 by Japanese Engineer Ryoichi Mori and it was implemented in Software Service System (SSS) which is later redefined as Superdistribution. The main focus of SSS was to protect the unauthorized copying by encryption. The SSS would include a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. The Controversy Of Censoring The Internet Everyone has heard of the Internet and how it is going to help set the world free. The Internet is the fastest growing form of communication and is becoming more and more common in the home. Companies these days do big business over the Internet, and online shopping has grown tremendously in the last few years. For instance, the online auction site eBay sells millions of items every year online. Many companies are making even more plans to expand their business to the Internet. Unfortunately, there have been numerous attempts lately to censor the Internet. If the Internet is controlled, regulated, restricted, or censored it will have harsh effects on its capabilities. In recent years, America's economy has become increasingly dependent on ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... (Hentoff 12) The largest controversy that surrounds censoring the Internet is what information should be considered "offensive". The Internet can be viewed in many different ways. It can be considered a carrier of common data, similar to a phone company, which must ignore what is broadcast for privacy reasons. Or, it can be considered a distributor and broadcaster of information, much like a television or radio station, which is responsible for what it broadcasts and has to conform to federal standards and regulations. This argument is the main concern of the censorship matter. "The Internet is a carrier of information, and not a broadcaster, since it only provides the basic structure for information transfer and sharing. ("Cyberchaos") But this angers lawmakers. The current laws existing today do not apply well to the Internet. The Internet cannot be viewed as one type of transfer medium under current broadcast definitions ("Muzzling the Internet"). One large difference that sets the Internet apart from a broadcasting media is the fact that one can't stumble across a vulgar or obscene site without first entering an address or following a link from another page. There are exceptions, of course, but for the most part, if one wants to find "dirty" material on the Internet, they have to go out and look for it.

  • 8. Free Speech Essay Free Speech "Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech." These words were spoken by Benjamin Franklin, one of our nation's founding fathers, when the United States was still a newly independent country. Free speech, which is defined as the right to express any opinion in public without censorship or restraint by the government, is a subject that is still present in the minds of many people today. At one extreme of the spectrum is a group of folks that do not care the slightest bit about free speech issues and at another end is a group of people who will vehemently fight to protect their right to free speech. In a middle ground, like most peoples' stance, lay a large group of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... All aspects of internet filters will be discussed including who chooses to use filtering software, why these groups use filters, how an internet content filter works, and the pro's and con's of implementing the use of filtering software. There are many different groups that choose to implement internet filtering software on computers that they own. Among these groups are libraries, schools, employers, and parents. In December of 2000, the United States Congress passed the Children's Internet Protection Act (CHIPA), which is legislation that forced public and private libraries as well as schools that are federally funded through certain federal programs to install internet content blocking software for both child and adult users alike. If libraries and schools that chose to implement the internet blocking technology on their computers were compensated or benefited monetarily through additional government subsidy would have been fine, but when the government is federally mandating censorship it is a direct violation of individuals' rights to free speech and expression guaranteed by the first amendment of the Bill of Rights to the Constitution of the United States of America. In an educational organizations' letter to legislation, a strong opposition was expressed regarding the mandated "censorware" in schools and libraries across the nation. Several points were made in opposition to the internet content filters. The organization states that the new mandatory ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

There have been hundreds of thousands of essays written about whether or not censorship on the Internet is right or wrong, but so far, no precise conclusion has surfaced. I've researched into the topic, but I haven't completely sided with one or the other. There are just good reasons against censorship. This essay briefly discusses some reasons why the Internet should be censored, but will then mainly focus on reasons why the Internet should not be censored. The most prominent issue dealing with censorship is the fact that there is child pornography readily available. Besides the fact that children as well as adults shouldn't be able to ...

She believes that "if we are using taxpayers dollars to pay for Internet access, then those institutions also have an obligation to act to restrict this type of material." Buechner knows that there is illegal material on the Internet, and it should be treated as such, but she understands that libraries are obligated to meet the information needs of the entire community while upholding the First Amendment. On the other hand, there are many reasons against the idea of censoring the Internet. An article from NBC.COM discusses that the Internet "is not broadcast television or radio, but a constellation of printing presses and bookstores." Therefore, it "can't and must not be regulated any differently from them.

It brings people together and has potential sources of information as well as entertainment. Besides, it has a lot of dangers and harms for the users (especially for children). In Australia, the idea of 'internet censorship' began since 2003 by the Australia's prominent think tank when researched about online habit of Australian teenagers and the dangers related to internet.

If the internet censorship plan is applied, the authorities can prevent the online crime as well as protect children out of troubles. Besides, the Australian government's internet censorship plan has disadvantages. First one, internet filter plan degrades the free speech for all Australian internet users. In 2007 Australian government have the third version of 'plan for cyber–safety' that includes a mandatory ISP–level filter (Internet Service Provider). The government has committed $125.8 million in four years for two tired filter systems. The first compulsory system is an ISP–level filter for all houses based on the Australian Communication and Media Authority (ACMA) "blacklist" of Refused Classification (RC) websites. Another one is a series of grants to encourage ISPs to offer a filter for additional content, such as X–rated pornography and gambling sites (Levin J, 2010). The RC material being caught in the filter may contain the information on topics which adults and even children may simply want to engage in some debate such as euthanasia, safe injecting procedures, abortion or even graffiti. These are grey areas in what may be considered banned material. Many opponents considered doing this would attack on free speech in the Australian society (Levin J, 2010). Another disadvantage is the cost of applying the internet filter plan is too high, this will affect to the internet users have to pay higher price. ISPs will have ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 11. The Ethics of File Sharing Software Essay The Ethics of File Sharing Software Introduction The purpose of this paper is to discuss the ethical problem that file sharing software creates when used to transfer copy written material. It is contested that the very existence of this software promotes piracy. The paper will focus on the creators of the file sharing software, knowing that the user employs their product illegally. The software creators (Kazaa, Grokster, Morpheus, etc) are claiming that they cannot control what the end user does with its product. In fact, this point has been upheld by a recent court ruling. As music and movies are now available almost exclusively in digital formats (CD and DVDs), the ease of copying them to computers is easy. And... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This was the entire concept behind the Napster model. This approach worked great and made fantastic use of the Internet's architecture. By spreading the load for file downloading across millions of machines, Napster accomplished what would have been impossible any other way. The central database for song titles was Napster's Achilles' heel. When the court ordered Napster to stop the music, the absence of a central database killed the entire Napster network. With Napster gone, what you had at that point was something like 100 million people around the world hungry to share more and more files. It was only a matter of time before another system came along to fill the gap.[ii] Napster made downloading music over the Internet common practice. Since the Federal Government closed Napster, several new alternatives for file sharing have been creates. Kazaa, Morpheus, Gnutella all rely on peer–to peer networking rather than a central server. Copyrighted materials continue to be distributed through peer–to–peer file sharing, but these systems are more difficult to shut down due to their decentralized control. Unlike Napster, which relied on central file servers, most new systems use a decentralized approach that relies on the local networks and computer resources of individual users. The peer–to–peer approach to file sharing requires cooperation among users and depends on the central processing unit (CPU), memory, and network ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 12. What are Version Control Systems? Essay The data, its versions, and all the information associated with each version are stored in a location called repository. There are four repository models commonly employed in Version Control systems. The earlier version of Version Control systems kept repository local– the person making the changes and the repository would be on the same machine . There are also examples of repository located on a shared folder which allows users from within a local area network to collaborate (4). Later on, client/server models became popular where the central repository is located on a server and all clients are able to read and submit changes. In the recent years, distributed repository systems are getting increasing interest as... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... If the update contains changes that would conflict with the local changes, local copy goes into conflict state. The changes on the local copy needs to be reviewed and should be marked as resolved after complying with the changes of the repository. The changes may be stored in the repository using various models. The simplest model is snapshots, where a complete copy of the data set is stored for each version. For certain data types, this method is still employed – such as in the version control of images, binary media where determination of atomic data unit is not necessarily well defined. For data sets that have a well defined atomic data unit, the most common method is changesets (deltas), where only the modified atomic data units are stored with each version. This, in most cases, provides significant saving in repository storage space. The changeset method, however, comes with the need of data set construction in order to get to a certain version of it. For example, in order to check out the latest version of the data set, a build process is required starting from the initial version of the data set (version 1), incorporating each delta, all the way to the last version, traversing the complete version tree.

Treating the Internet like broadcast media is a grave mistake because the Internet is unlike any information medium that has been created.

To understand why legislators are attempting to censor the Internet despite the fact that it is absurd and Unconstitutional, one must first understand how the Internet came to be and how it conceptually works. According to Internet historian Dave Kristula, the first inklings of the Internet began in the United States in 1969 as a network of four servers called the APRANET. ARPA (the Advanced Research Projects Agency), a division of the Department of Defense, created the ARPANET for military research so that the information on the network would be decentralized and could survive a nuclear strike. The network continued to grow in size and speed as technology increased over the next two decades. Standards began to set in such as the TCP/IP protocol for network transmission of data. By 1990 the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) had been created to standardize the way in which Internet documents are sent and received (Kristula). By 1994, the APRANET was disbanded, and the Internet became a public network connecting more than 3,000,000 computers together worldwide. Commercial ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The supreme court eventually determined that the CDA was indeed unconstitutional, violating not only the first amendment, but also the fifth due to the vague wording used. In the opinion statement Justice Stevens said: The vagueness of the CDA is a matter of special concern for two reasons. First, the CDA is a content based regulation of speech. The vagueness of such a regulation raises special First Amendment concerns because of its obvious chilling effect on free speech. Second, the CDA is a criminal statute. In addition to the opprobrium and stigma of a criminal conviction, the CDA threatens violators with penalties including up to two years in prison for each act of violation. The severity of criminal sanctions may well cause speakers to remain silent rather than communicate even arguably unlawful words, ideas, and images.ii The Supreme Court has always based their decisions on free speech on one base concept, the idea that certain speech can be punished, but cannot be banned ahead of time.

There are a plethora of RCS and VCS available from which to choose. Within the field of computer programming and software design, the use of RCS or VCS is a vital best practice, especially in development environments with many programmers, developers, engineers, administrators, and managers. However, RCS or VCS can and should be used wherever there are larger groups of CSCW regardless of the domain. Henceforth, RCS and VCS shall be referred to as any generic revision or version control system, abbreviated as RVCS. The significance of evaluating various RVCS becomes apparent by demonstrating and illustrating their importance. Such evaluation is then used to produce or derive guidelines that streamline the selection of the RVCS for a particular CSCW group. WHAT EXACTLY IS RVCS? One way to begin operationally defining RVCS is with the simple concept of artifacts and deliverables produced, created, developed or engineered by the CSCW group. The sharing of such artifacts is essential in the operations of the CSCW group (Schmidt, et. al., 2015).

As a matter of fact, those individuals with damaging thoughts are the ones that watch and produce pornography. Additionally, "exposure to obscene material correlates with increased rapes, prostitution, child molestation, violent crime, the abuse of women, and sex addiction in men" (Hacker 5). Many of these correlations are a result of ideas that pornography planted in minds. Pornography alone does not cause people to commit a sexual crime, but it affects minds enough to influence people to act in an unethical way. Censoring the internet would also protect the minds of citizens from corrupt propaganda. Propaganda that is placed by the government is generally misleading and discourages deep thinking. An example is Obama's campaign in 2008. "People loved [Obama's campaign], but many did not understand what type of change he was talking about. Such propaganda stirred passions and made people feel good, but it did not allow people to think critically about the issues. Rather, Obama smartly played off anti–incumbent sentiment that was sweeping the nation" (Snowball 71).

The second real issue is finding a way to regulate and enforce the removal of material that is agreed upon as being inappropriate for anyone to have on the Internet. I am specifically touching on the issue of child pornography. While it is illegal in the United States, as it is in many countries, government and law enforcement officials are having a difficult time catching offenders who post this type of material. So with this type of problem concerning pornography this issue is not deciding on appropriate means of regulation, but rather how to enforce the regulation already in place. It is obvious that for years, the government has been trying to regulate this type of content but has seen very limited success. Part of the reason for this is because certain regulatory actions intended to protect only a small group, such as children, should not require the prohibition of material that adults have access to in other arenas. It is for example, legal for people to rent pornographic movies or buy nude magazines, so distribution of this type of material on the Internet should not be completely limited. People shouting out for protection of their 1st Amendment rights have made a good point when arguing against complete censorship.

Search queries easily trick the filters, causing filters to block those sites, although the sites do not have any signs of inappropriate content or malicious content, but the search queries from the sites have such content. Internet filters have the possibility of blocking malicious and inappropriate content, but they are still containing many ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 35. What Are Websites Appropriate Filters In Schools? When people think about things being censored they think about TV and Radio stations; they don't think about computers. For example when you have an educational video to look up and it happens to be on youtube that sucks because it's one of the major websites blocked. School websites are too restrictive on what can and cannot be searched. As students we will have to learn how to evaluate the accuracy of the website with all the filters we have. The filters tell us which websites we can and cannot use. According to Michael Gonchar from The New York Times "Overly restrictive filtering of educational websites reaching far beyond the requirements of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). Students, teachers, and school librarians in many schools are frustrated daily when they discover legitimate educational websites blocked by filtering software installed by their school." I completely understand blocking things for students such as Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat but blocking educational sites such as Youtube for example, yes it has some inappropriate content but can't the school pay for a better program that leaves the programs that are going to benefit us but also block out the bad stuff on that website. Some of the most popular web filters bought by schools are lightspeed, web content filtering, Umbrella and many more.

  • 38. Physical Security Management ( Mohamed ) Physical Security Management (Mohamed) Although online businesses conduct majority of their dealings through on an online platform they still require the need to maintain physical security of all the technologies that are responsible for keeping the online platform up and running. Companies such as Google have recognized that passwords and simple bearer tokens such as cookies are not enough to keep information safe, which is why they have suggested technologies such as smartcard–embedded finger rings to authorize permissions of computers usage (International Business, 2012). Ultimately, online businesses should prioritize the regular maintenance of their servers and hardware just as much, if not more than, traditional businesses because in essence the assets and day to day operations are performed solely through the servers and technologies that are given that task. The sheer amount of information being transmitted and processed for an online business should cause the head of the business to ensure the physical security of the servers by placing them in various locations, redundancy is crucial in the case of a disaster, and by only allowing authorized personnel to access the server rooms to prevent any misconfigurations. When addressing Physical security it is important to address the four layers of security which are: area surrounding the building, area that is in close proximity of the building, area which houses the infrastructure within the building, and then addressing ...

It would be beneficial to censor the Internet in schools if the censoring program actually worked; sadly none of the programs are good enough and actually do more harm than good. If there is a student who wants to find porn on the Internet, he will because the censoring programs suck. Not only will he find the porn, but also he will not get into trouble for it because since it is censored only good sites that are approved are available. When I was in high school, I did an Ecology paper and the censoring program actually blocked out informational internet pages about black bears and bullfrogs, simply because it contained information about mating habits, which is ridiculous. Many highly respectable organizations are completely against Internet censorship. One such organization is the American Library Association or ALA. The ALA is against any type of censoring software or programs in any of their affiliations across the nation. In Fact, a line in the ALA code of ethics specifically states, "We uphold the principles of intellectual Freedom and resist all efforts to censor library resources."(Weckert 44) There is no mistaking that the ALA is against censorship.

  • 41. Censorship Is Not Limited Repressive Regimes Or Network... Censorship is not limited to repressive regimes or network television. Weather we know it or not censorship is happening all the time throughout the day. We censor ourselves, we listen to censored music and as students we see the internet being heavily censored in school. The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was signed into law in 2000; the law requires any public schools or library to filter any inappropriate content from the computers being used by minors. Since the law has been put in place, schools across America have installed programs that use keywords to designate certain types of websites off–limits to students while using the schools internet server. The problem with these filtering programs is that they block many sites that are not pornographic or obscene in nature, Instead they tend to block sites dealing with controversial but not inappropriate content. Although the CIPA was created to protect, it has been used as a soft form ofcensorship in schools. The CIPA states that a library orschool cannot receive the discounts offered by the e–rate program unless they have an internet safety policy that has technology protection measures. The filter program must be able to filter pictures and content that are obscene, pornographic or harmful to minors from computers that are being accessed by minors (Reitman). The CIPA has multiple major flaws in its plan. It does not protect enough where it needs to but it over filters in other areas. The filters are there to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
