Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Freeware (from "free" and "software") is computer software that is available for use at no cost or for an optional fee. Software referred to as freeware is almost always proprietary. Software that is commercial is occasionally referred to as payware. The term freeware was coined by Andrew Fluegelman when he wanted to sell a communications program named PC-Talk that he had created but for which he did not wish to use traditional methods of distribution because of their cost. Fluegelman actually distributed PC-Talk via a process now referred to as shareware. Current use of the term freeware does not necessarily match the original concept by Andrew Fluegelman. Software classified as freeware is normally fully functional for an unlimited time with no cost, monetary or otherwise. Freeware can be proprietary software available at zero price. The author usually restricts one or more rights to copy, distribute, and make derivative works of the software. The software license may impose restrictions on the type of use including personal use, individual use, non-profit use, non-commercial use, academic use, commercial use or any combination of these. For instance, the license may be "free for personal, non-commercial use". Accordingly, freeware may or may not be free and open source software and, in order to distinguish, the Free Software Foundation asks users to avoid calling "freeware" free software. The principal difference being that free software can be used, studied, and m...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Auszug: Command & Conquer: Alarmstufe Rot (Originaltitel: Red Alert) ist ein von den Westwood Studios entwickeltes Echtzeit-Strategiespiel und der zeitliche (in Hinsicht auf das Erscheinungsdatum), nicht aber handlungsbezogene Nachfolger von Command & Conquer: Der Tiberiumkonflikt. Zusammen mit Command & Conquer: Alarmstufe Rot 2 und 3 und deren Add-on bildet es das Alarmstufe Rot-Universum. Das Spiel ist mit dem Vorgänger vom Spielprinzip identisch. Jedoch setzt das - ursprünglich nur als Add-on geplante - Spiel nicht die Geschichte fort, sondern bildet ein eigenes Universum. Zwar gibt es im ersten Teil Anspielungen auf Der Tiberiumkonflikt, diese entfallen jedoch beim Nachfolger. Vom ursprünglichen Add-on-Charakter zeugen neben der identischen Engine und der Landschaftsgrafik sowie den gleich gebliebenen Sprites für Infanteristen auch einige nahezu unverändert übernommene Einheiten und Gebäude wie beispielsweise der „Mammut"-Panzer. Mit seinem Vorgänger ist das Spiel auch durch den Charakter „Kane" verknüpft. Grundsätzliche neue Features waren die Lauffähigk...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=1587245 ... Read more

Product Description
Ever need a fact or quotation on freeware? Designed for speechwriters, journalists, writers, researchers, students, professors, teachers, historians, academics, scrapbookers, trivia buffs and word lovers, this is the largest book ever created for this single word. It represents a compilation from a variety of sources with a linguistic emphasis on anything relating to the term "freeware," including non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. The entries cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in many unexpected examples for freeware, since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. Proceeds from this book are used to expand the content and coverage of Webster's Online Dictionary (www.websters-online-dictionary.org). ... Read more

What happens when a hippie writes (boring) cyberpunk
It's not that I don't like these books. I do, sort of. As another reviewer mentioned, there are a lot of interesting ideas. There's also a lot of time wasted on the stupid antics of characters who were in a position to do more and ended up smoking 'til their brains were fried, then getting lucky. And that sums up two of the major flaws in these books: the characters are annoying most of the time, and things happen to turn out well because they got lucky, not because they did much of anything on their own. So, not only do these books reek of stoner stupidity, they are also NOT character driven. And that is a HUGE flaw in a cyberpunk novel, which is usually written around broken, down-and-dirty characters who end up doing the right thing even when they don't believe they can (not falling on their butts and somehow still landing on their feet, as Rucker's characters do).

For me, these were throwbacks to the hoary old 'idea' novels and moldy, cardboard characters of the past (sorry, couldn't resist). Frankly, these stories were a drag to read. I normally finish a book of this length in 3-5 days. I've been reading this for nearly a month. And sadly, there IS some funny stuff, and there are some interesting ideas, but the whole thing just meanders in a very boring fashion.
Had this not been an omnibus edition, I doubt I would have read the 2nd and 3rd books. Look elsewhere, say Neal Stephenson, early William Gibson, maybe Elizabeth Bear (who writes like early Gibson), if you want good cyberpunk.

Exhilarating SF tour de force---brings "cyberpunk" from the neck down
This volume collects three of the four novels in Rudy Rucker's intellectually stimulating and thoroughly enjoyable *Ware series: Software, Wetware, and Freeware. The arc of these three novels carries the reader from the dawn of the 21st century, when humanity's lunar robots reprogrammed themselves for freedom and consciousness, to the middle of the century, the radical future of artificial life, and beyond. In Rucker's mostly optimistic vision of the near-future, robots (from the Czech word for "slave", remember) give way to self-directing boppers (and human-dominated asimovs), who in turn pave the way for the quasi-organic moldies, who themselves become the staging ground for something far more transcendent. Meanwhile, humanity tries as best it can to keep pace with its new neighbors while inadvertently catalyzing their evolution from time to time. An exhilarating intellectual romp!

Rucker's novels work on so many levels that it beggars description. His intellectual and philosophical speculations about the nature of conscious life itself provide the skeleton, his joycean linguistic inventiveness enrobes his fresh ideas in strange flesh, and his sheer joy at being embodied succeeds both in animating his creation and in bringing the genre of science fiction, which has long been decidedly cognitively top-heavy, from the neck down. This is science fiction for people who love the raw stickiness and smelliness of physical existence. Moldies and Meatbops, or, more properly, the novels collected therein, easily ranks as Rucker's SF masterpiece.

The Best ThatCyberPunkHasToOffer
Each Of these books are masterpieces of what good modern Cyber Punk should be. If your thinking of just getting one of these books, its inevitable that your going to want the others as well, so do your self a favor and just buy this colectioninstead.

Nice Collection of the 3 Books in the WareSeries.
This is acollection of all three 'Ware' are books, Wetware, Software, and Realware. All three of these books have recived very good reviews, and are alsoconsidered to be some of the best CyberPunk literature out there. Even if you have the three books in your collection, you should definitely get this.

Funky, out-there, just plain fun story!
It's a really odd world of the future, but very well constructed.With a very breezy, funky style, this is a new take on the robot/human conflict that runs all the way from Florida to the Moon where the Boppers grow human organs in "pink tanks" and the aging human population can look forward to uploading their consciousness for later life.Very mind-bending in a way, but fun reading, not so ponderous and dark as a lot of sci-fi tends to be. ...

Great resource for novice and experienced developers
I have only begun to read this book. It doesn't take long to realize the authors are sharing their experiences from many years of developing database applications. While focusing on Access there is also advice about if and when to upgrade to client server architecture.

While the subtitle of the book highlights "Database Models", the book is much much more. There is lots of extra content that had even greater value to me as a 25+ year database developer. I have already begun using some of their tools and tips in my projects.

I would recommend Microsoft Access Small Business Solutions to all levels of database developers. ... Read more

Product Description
Unix has always been known for its sometimes obscure online "man pages," those invaluable reference pages that offer precise documentation of hundreds of powerful--and confusing--utilities. While these "nuggets of wisdom" make no effort to provide any tutorial help, nothing beats the ease of lookup of an alphabetical listing for each program.This volume collects the man pages for the more than 275 user programs that make up the user portion of the 4.4BSD UNIX release--plus additional pages for games and miscellaneous information--and is helpful even ifyou don't use the BSD version of UNIX. Many of the commands are identical to those in other UNIX versions, as are many of the freeware programs. You may find yourself turning first to this book to look up options for programs like Perl, GNU emacs, compress, patch, g++,or kerberos. This volume is also useful for many related UNIXimplementations, including SunOS, BSDI, and Linux. ... Read more

Excellent starting pointfor someone wanting to use free security tools in the workplace
I think this book is the only one to cover such a broad variety of free security tools. It focuses in particular on the pros and cons of using them in a business setting, including details such as the availability of support, functionality, and ease of use.

There are some very useful grids or feature matrices when a specific product category offers multiple solutions. These are very useful as they allow you to tell at aglance which products have what features. From there you can quickly rule out the products which do not meet your needs.

Grab one at a book store and flip through it, the writing is easy to digest and "friendly" without sounding too clinical. ... Read more
