backup

In the field of information technology, backup refers to the copying of data so that these additional copies may be restored after a data loss event. Backups are useful primarily for two purposes: to restore a computer to an operational state following a disaster (called disaster recovery) and to restore small numbers of files after they have been accidentally deleted or corrupted. Backups differ from archives in the sense that archives are the primary copy of data and backups are a secondary copy of data. Backup systems differ from fault-tolerant systems in the sense that backup systems assume that a fault will cause a data loss event and fault-tolerant systems assume a fault will not. Backups are typically that last line of defense against data loss, and consequently the least granular and the least convenient to use.

content management system

A content management system (CMS) is a computer software system used to assist its users in the process of content management. A CMS facilitates the organization, control, and publication of a large body of documents and other content, such as images and multimedia resources. A CMS often facilitates the collaborative creation of documents. A web content management system is a content management system with additional features to ease the tasks required to publish web content to Web sites.

Web Content management systems are often used for storing, controlling, versioning, and publishing industry-specific documentation such as news articles, operators' manuals, technical manuals, sales guides, and marketing brochures.

crime on the internet !

Computers are the hottest crime tool today. People that know how to use them can unlock doors few of us even know exist. By its very nature, the Internet is analogous to the Wild West (Biegel 2003) where the law is mostly unwritten and power falls into the hands of those with the best technology. Traditional concepts of privacy are now being transformed before out eyes, and if you haven't already, I strongly suggest you read the above highlighted lecture on Privacy and Cyberspace Law. You won't understand cybercrime without understanding cyberspace law, and maybe privacy law behind that. Cybercrime has many definitions (see Wall 2001 for a typical, academic essay over definitional issues), but most experts believe it is the wave of the future, and it's here to stay, not just a passing fad. With over one trillion dollars moved electronically every week, the Internet is where the money is. The rates of cybercrime are skyrocketing. The annual "take" by theft-oriented cybercriminals is estimated as high as $100 billion, and 97% of offenses go undetected (Bennett & Hess 2001). Then, there are those who just abuse the Internet and computer systems -- hackers or hooligans, whatever you want to call them -- but cybercriminals nonetheless (at least in 48 states). Their shenanigans are often detected, resulting in an average cost of $104,000 per incident in damage, labor, and lost productivity (Brown et al. 2001). In addition, there's corporate espionage, which some experts say is the real problem, with annual losses of proprietary information in the $60 million range. Toss in organized crime, terrorism, infowar, embezzlement, extortion, and a variety of other ways to offend or harm with computers, and it's anybody's guess what the real cost is.

SHTTP

S-HTTP was designed by E. Rescorla and A. Schiffman of EIT to secure HTTP connections. S-HTTP provides a wide variety of mechanisms to provide for confidentiality, authentication, and integrity. Separation of policy from mechanism was an explicit goal. The system is not tied to any particular cryptographic system, key infrastructure, or cryptographic format. The internet draft is fairly clear in its presentation of the protocol, although implementation details are sketchy.

S-HTTP is a superset of HTTP, which allows messages to be encapsulated in various ways. Encapsulations can include encryption, signing, or MAC based authentication. This encapsulation can be recursive, and a message can have several security transformations applied to it. S-HTTP also includes header definitions to provide key transfer, certificate transfer, and similar administrative functions. S-HTTP appears to be extremely flexible in what it will allow the programmer to do. S- HTTP also offers the potential for substantial user involvement in, and oversight of, the authentication & encryption activities.

S-HTTP does not rely on a particular key certification scheme. It includes support for RSA, in-band, out-of-band and kerberos key exchange. Key certifications can be provided in a message, or obtained elsewhere. Like SSL, client public keys are not required.

I'll be discussing the message format, the negotiation of options, and the formatting of messages, as well as retry behavior, interaction with older servers, and implementation details. All of this is well covered in draft-rescorla-shttp-*, available wherever fine Internet drafts are stored.

Really Simple Syndication

Want more traffic? An easy way to distribute your news? Then you need an RSS news feed. To start all you need is content you want broadcast, and one RSS text file.

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a lightweight XML format designed for sharing headlines and other Web content. Think of it as a distributable "What's New" for your site. Originated by UserLand in 1997 and subsequently used by Netscape to fill channels for Netcenter, RSS has evolved into a popular means of sharing content between sites (including the BBC, CNET, CNN, Disney, Forbes, Motley Fool, Wired, Red Herring, Salon, Slashdot, ZDNet, and more). RSS solves myriad problems webmasters commonly face, such as increasing traffic, and gathering and distributing news. RSS can also be the basis for additional content distribution services.

Youtube history

YouTube was founded by three former PayPal employees, who, witnessing the boom of online grassroots video, realized the need for a decent service that made the process of uploading, watching and sharing videos hassle-free. They registered the domain YouTube.com on February 15th, 2005 and developed the site over the following months from a garage in Menlo Park. In May 2005 they launched in a public beta, and in November, YouTube made its debut with an $3.5 million of funding from Sequoia Capital.

To get a decent start and attract the initial crowd they were looking for — teenagers, college students, hobbyists, film-makers — they came out with a contest that promised to give out one iPod Nano to a random member each day, which ran for two months. This contest worked on a point-based system, for example one point was rewarded for signing up, one for inviting others, another one for posting a video, etc. The more the points you gained, the higher the chance of winning you had. This was a significant action that got YouTube noticed by the masses and gave it a headstart as per the signups. After all, if you knew you had a chance to winning a $250 iPod Nano just by signing up and posting that Uncle Bob's funny biking incident clip you've had on your hard-drive for the past few years, wouldn't you?

Now, after being the host (and former-host) of countless SNL segments, Superbowl ads, TV goof-ups, Anime mashups, Nobody's Watching episodes, Sporting segments, Shakira music videos, and most recently the Lonelygirl15 installments — which have managed to receive more than 90 million views in total — the result? World's fastest growing website at present, YouTube.

Now thanks to google there are rich people !!!

Protect yourself !

Identity theft occurs when a criminal uses another person's personal information to take on that person's identity. Identity theft is much more than misuse of a Social Security number-it can also include credit card and mail fraud. If you think you may be a victim of identity theft, contact the Federal Trade Commission
The Federal government and numerous states have passed laws prohibiting identity theft. Anyone who intentionally uses the Social Security number of another person to establish a new identity or defraud the government is breaking the law.

We're making sure that Social Security numbers are less accessible by strengthening our processes for issuing new Social Security numbers and replacement Social Security cards. Additionally, we are working with other federal agencies to find ways to detect and prevent identity theft.

To be English or not to be

The Internet offers many ways to learn English. You can read some grammar, learn pages and pages of vocabulary, but to me the best way to learn a good English and to learn it fast remains towards videos.
Because not only this option makes you more aware of the accent you should have but it is also the best way to stick the information into your memory.
Why ?
Just because it makes you use both the visual and earing memory.
One of the very good website on the Internet offering to learn English is wordchamp
because it detains a data base with thousands of hundred different videos. So you can choose the one you want to learn with regarding the topic treated.

Quality not Quantity

The world of the internet is full of qualities such as : Generosity, Insight, Comprehension, Discipline, Patience and Perseverance.
There are just examples of what the Internet can bring to its users therfore we can consider that these qualities are just samples of the real potential of this media.

The generosity on the Internet is for instance represented by the fact that you can find websites for the students who wish to learn some more about a subject.
Let's take the example of learnthenet a website that provides a full and complete description of the way to use your mailbox on the internet.
One could say that it is not generosity considering that it is just a way for the webdesigners to make money.
But that is not true given that most of the learning websites are completely free.

For the patience skill, an example could be the fact that a growing number of wensites now use Flash
It means that for the ones who don't have a very quick internet conection, you just have to be patient until the page of your dreams is finally loaded.
Just wait wait wait...

Social networks

Social networks are linkages among defined sets of persons, such as kin, friends, neighbors, or co-workers. To Calhoun, 2003 "Looking at informal, transient forms of association, such as the flow of gossip, the mobilization of social movements and political campaigns, and the maintenance of patron-client relations. Such networks are groups of persons who do not necessarily know each other or share anything outside the organizing criteria of the network."
I personnaly use msn messenger as a social network, it allows me to keep in touch with my own friends around the world and my friends' friends.
In the future, we can think about some kind of video and audio concept where we can talk and see people across the entire world. The idea is that we no longer need to pay for phone connection, but to have Internet, just like skype today.

Spread of DRM

DRM - "Digital Rights Management", is a system of solutions created or designed as a means to control the unauthorized duplication and illegal distribution of copyrighted digital media. Once the Internet started becoming popular and widely used, it was extremely easy for pirates to copy and illegally sell a variety of marketed digital media and products. Therefore, DRM technology was created for the publishers of these works as a means to stop the illegal reproduction and distribution of their products.
What is a problem with DRM is that even if it makes it very difficult for a pirate to crack an audio or video file, it affects the legitimate purchasers since that they can't upload the files on their own ipod.

Web Neutrality

The phrase Network Neutrality describes networks that don't favor some destinations over others, or classes of application (for example the World Wide Web) over others (such as online gaming or Voice over IP).
One interpretation claims that the Internet is not neutral "as among all applications" since the implementation of best effort generally favors file transfer and other non-time sensitive traffic over real-time communications.
Since then, large American internet content providers have claimed that network neutrality also concerns the question of network providers favoring or disfavoring certain websites or certain brands of Voice Over IP over others.
To me the issue is really an important one nowadays since that it raises the question of practicing censor against certain kind of informations, or certain kind of people.

Revolution on the Internet

I think that several changes in e-communication appeared during these six last months. Yet, the most important of them is undoubtedly the ADSL.
Indeed, this revolutionary process enables to better the feed for a current use.
ADSL is often asscociated to "High Feed Internet Access", still it allows an access to another networks, to anothers services...
Besides, ADSL enables nowadays to administrate the audios and videos feeds, such as television on the Internet via ADSL.
There are currently several internet access providers such as : Alice, Free, Neuf tel...

answer the question

Podcasting is the way of broadcating audio and video files online. The user has to register on a feed and also one can acquire automatically news files.

A podcast is a multimedia file distributed over the Internet.

The term podcast, such as 'radio' can mean both the content and the method of delivery. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster.

Though podcasters' websites may also offer direct download or streaming of their content.
The advantages of podcast system lie given that you can see it on your MP3.
