Security experts and Microsoft say it's REALLY IMPORTANT to patch against the peril. All IIS users should download their patches from Microsoft.

In Alan Clement's noted student-friendly style, it covers core topics including Boolean algebra and logic design; number bases and binary arithmetic; the CPU; assembly language; memory systems; and input/output methods and devices. It then continues with a discussion of the related topics of computer peripherals, the hardware aspects of the operating system, and data communications. This accessible text covers both the 68000 and ARM architectures in a tutorial/lab-based style suitable for a variety of courses. All chapters in this third edition have been rigorously updated. Powerful new Windows-based simulation software allows students to visualize the design of digital circuits. The chapter on RISC has been completely rewritten to include the ARM computer, and the tutorial-based introduction to assembly language now includes many examples. http://www.digitalguru.com/dgstore/product.asp?sku=0198564546&dept%5Fid=287&ac%5Fid=68&accountnumber=&couponnumber= ====================================== SEARCHSOLARIS.COM WEB LINK OF THE DAY ====================================== "searchStorage Featured Topic: SAN planning guide" When it comes to enterprise storage planning, you'll hear the words "SAN" and "storage area network" a lot.

Some in the U.S. business world believe that if profit-minded types had been at the helm when the Internet was created 30 years ago, the medium would deliver business data with the high priority it deserves; everyone else would just have to wait.
