Standardization of electronic commerce

Posted by arlene

The automation and dematerialization of monetary exchanges are not objectives per se, but are solely means to improve the productivity of financial institutions. In this regard, an overabundance of standards, and sometimes their competition, may constitute a barrier to the establishment of electronic commerce. Even if some manufacturers think they can profit from this situation, […]

How Legal Wire tapping Works
CALEA requires that communications providers allow law enforcement officials to be able to listen in on phone conversations and get information about those phone calls, but only when the law enforcement agency has gotten approval for the tap.
The law enforcement agency goes before a judge and presents reasons a wiretap is […]

How Wiretapping and Lie Detectors Work

Posted by arlene

Throughout the history of the United States, one of the greatest political tensions has been that which balances personal privacy against the need for law enforcement to protect individuals and the country as a whole.
That tension has been with us from the very earliest days of the Republic. The Founding Fathers were extremely cognizant of […]

Building the SpyNet User Interface

Altering the Size of the Transaction Log Files

Posted by arlene

Shrinking a transaction log is a little different from shrinking a data file. The main difference is when the process occurs.
When a data file is shrunk, the task is performed almost immediately, whereas with a transaction log it is not. The log file is marked, so SQL Server 2000 knows that it needs to be […]

Using the Client Network Utility to Resolve Connection Problems

Posted by arlene

A client network utility tool allows us to change the way that a client machine talks to SQL Server 2000.
On our installation all that is really available to us is TCP/IP, but on a Windows NT/2000 machine, we see several other protocols. The most common, other than TCP/IP, is Named Pipes. See Appendix B, “Installing […]

Running Multiple Instances on One Machine

Posted by arlene

The introduction of SQL Server 2000 enables us to have multiple instances of SQL Server running on a single machine.

Creating Enhanced Indexes

Posted by arlene

Indexes, like triggers, have always been a part of SQL Server but now we have even more features that we can take advantage of when creating indexes.
One of the biggest changes is allowing us to have an index on a computed column. A computed column is the answer from a sum. For example, consider a […]

Improving Security

Posted by arlene

As you move into a multi-user environment, security, user, and resource management will become key to the performance and integrity of your application. Some of these security features are available on Windows 2000 only.
Understanding Kerberos and Security Delegation
Unfortunately, we cannot take advantage of these new enhancements. We are not running Windows 2000—maybe that’s a good […]

Setting Up Your PC as a Web

If you ask a typical consumer about wireless communications, you might hear about Wi-Fi or wireless Ethernet, but it’s just as likely that cell phones, smartphones, or PDAs with onboard wireless networking would also be part of the conversation. These devices offer web browsing, email, video and still image capture, and text messaging, and they […]
