Dealing with system problems from user login failures to server
crashes--is a critical part of a system administrator's job. A down
system can cost a business thousands of dollars per minute. But
there is little or no information available on how to troubleshoot
and correct system problems; in most cases, these skills are
learned in an ad-hoc manner, usually in the pressure-cooker
environment of a crisis. This is the first book to address this
lack of information.
The authors (both experienced Tru64 UNIX support engineer for
Compaq) systematically present the techniques and tools needed to
find and fix system problems. The first part of the book presents
the general principles and techniques needed in system
troubleshooting. These principles and techniques are useful not
only for UNIX system administrators, but for anyone who needs to
find and fix system problems. After this foundation, the authors
describe troubleshooting tools used in the UNIX environment. The
remainder of the book covers specific areas of the Tru64 UNIX
operating system in detail: listing common problems, their causes,
how to detect them, and how to correct them. Each chapter includes
a "Before You Call Support" section that details the most important
things to check and correct before it's necessary to call Compaq
technical support. The authors also include decision trees to help
the reader systematically isolate particular problem types.

New edition of Cheek's best-selling Digital UNIX System
Administrator's Guide
Covers Version 5.1
Authored by a team of specialists
Across the globe, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft
have accumulated power in ways that existing regulatory and
intellectual frameworks struggle to comprehend. A consensus is
emerging that the power of these new digital monopolies is
unprecedented, and that it has important implications for
journalism, politics, and society. It is increasingly clear that
democratic societies require new legal and conceptual tools if they
are to adequately understand, and if necessary check the economic
might of these companies. Equally, that we need to better
comprehend the ability of such firms to control personal data and
to shape the flow of news, information, and public opinion. In this
volume, Martin Moore and Damian Tambini draw together the world's
leading researchers to examine the digital dominance of
technologies platforms and look at the evidence behind the rising
tide of criticism of the tech giants. In fifteen chapters, the
authors examine the economic, political, and social impacts of
Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft, in order to
understand the different facets of their power and how it is
manifested. Digital Dominance is the first interdisciplinary volume
on this topic, contributing to a conversation which is critical to
maintaining the health of democracies across the world.
In the space of one election cycle, authoritarian governments,
moneyed elites and fringe hackers figured out how to game
elections, bypass democratic processes, and turn social networks
into battlefields. Facebook, Google and Twitter - where our
politics now takes place - have lost control and are struggling to
claw it back. Prepare for a new strain of democracy. A world of
datafied citizens, real-time surveillance, enforced wellness and
pre-crime. Where switching your mobile platform will have more
impact on your life than switching your government. Where freedom
and privacy are seen as incompatible with social wellbeing and
compulsory transparency. As our lives migrate online, we have
become increasingly vulnerable to digital platforms founded on
selling your attention to the highest bidder. Our laws don't cover
what is happening and our politicians don't understand it. But if
we don't change the system now, we may not get another chance.
Selected chapters from this book are published open access and free
to read or download from Oxford Scholarship Online,
https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/. Since Digital
Dominance was published in 2018, a global consensus has emerged
that technology platforms should be regulated. Governments from the
United States to Australia have sought to reduce the power of these
platforms and curtail the dominance of a few, yet regulatory
responses remain fragmented, with some focused solely on
competition while others seek to address issues around harm,
privacy, and freedom of expression. Regulating Big Tech condenses
the vibrant tech policy debate into a toolkit for the policy maker,
legal expert, and academic seeking to address one of the key issues
facing democracies today: platform dominance and its impact on
society. Contributors explore elements of the toolkit through
comprehensive coverage of existing and future policy on data,
antitrust, competition, freedom of expression, jurisdiction, fake
news, elections, liability, and accountability, while also
identifying potential policy impacts on global communication, user
rights, public welfare, and economic activity. With original
chapters from leading academics and policy experts, Regulating Big
Tech sets out a policy framework that can address interlocking
challenges of contemporary tech regulation and offer actionable
solutions for our technological future.
Technology has fractured democracy, and now there’s no going back.
All around the world, the fringes have stormed the palace of the elites and unleashed data miners, dark ads and bots on an unwitting public. After years of soundbites about connecting people, the social media giants are only just beginning to admit to the scale of the problem.
We stand on the precipice of an era where switching your mobile platform will have more impact on your life than switching your government. Where freedom and privacy are seen as incompatible with social well-being and transparency. Where your attention is sold to the highest bidder.
Our laws don’t cover what is happening and our politicians don’t understand it. But if we don’t fight to change the system now, we may not get another chance.

Without Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803), we simply would not
understand Shakespeare in the way we do. In fact, much literature
and art besides Shakespeare would neither look the same nor be the
same without the influence of Herder's "Shakespeare" (1773). One of
the most important and original works in the history of literary
criticism, this passionate essay pioneered a new, historicist
approach to cultural artifacts by arguing that they should be
judged not by their conformity to a set of conventions imported
from another time and place, but by the effectiveness of their
response to their own historical and cultural context. Rejecting
the authority of a dominant and stifling French neoclassicism that
judged eighteenth-century plays by the criteria of Aristotle,
Herder's "Shakespeare" signaled a break with the Enlightenment, the
approach of Romanticism, and the arrival of a distinctly modern
form of aesthetic appreciation. With a vivid new translation and a
fascinating introduction by Gregory Moore, this edition of Herder's
classic will speak to today's readers with undiminished power and
persuasiveness.
Bleed to Love Her Patrick Nichols, a former journalist and now
author, rents an old house while he writes a book about the former
owner, Arthur LaSalle. This was a man with a wild and controversial
life and a violent death; a man whose story can revitalise the
mentally scarred Patrick. Then in the night, gliding from the
shadows she approaches; taking his dreams and his senses, stealing
his heart. The Black Lace Lady comes and comes again, whispering
and pleading as he sleeps. 'The truth, tell the truth'.
