Riassunto

Shoebox sized and smaller, small form factor PCs can pack as much computing muscle as anything from a PDA to a full-sized desktop computer. They consume less power, have few or no moving parts, and are very quiet. Whether you plan to use one as a standalone PC or want to embed it in your next hacking project, a small form factor PC may be the next thing you build.

Small Form Factor PCs is the only book available that shows you how to build small form factor PCs -- from kits and from scratch -- that are more interesting and more personalized than what a full-sized PC can give you. Included in the book are projects for building personal video recorders, versatile wireless access points, digital audio jukeboxes, portable firewalls, and much more. This book shows you how to build eight different systems, from the shoebox-sized Shuttle system down to the stick-of-gum sized gumstix.

With thorough illustrations and step-by-step instructions, Small Form Factor PCs makes it easy for anyone who wants to get started building these tiny systems. Small form factor computing is taking off, and this guide is an absolute must for anyone who wants to get in on the launch.

L'autore:

Duane Wessels became interested in web caching in 1994 as a topic for his master's thesis in telecommunications at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He worked with members of the Harvest research project to develop web caching software. After the departure of other members to industry jobs, he continued the software development under the name Squid. Another significant part of Duane's research with the National Laboratory for Applied Network Research has been the operation of 6 to 8 large caches throughout the U.S. These caches receive requests from hundreds of other caches, all connected in a "global cache mesh."

Matthew Weaver has 10 years of experience in software development and system administration. He's given many tutorials to technical audiences, and currently works with Nedernet Inc, a wireless ISP in the Rocky Mountains. He helped Nedernet see the value in using small form factor PCs for an array of devices, including remote outdoor access points and solar-powered servers.

Product Description:

Una raccolta di saggi di studiosi di spicco che indagano la filosofia della pratica educativa. "Gli autori affrontano molti degli argomenti e nozioni che sono di primo piano nelle discussioni educative TODAY- empowerment, la democrazia, l'autonomia, il pensiero critico, il sesso, il curriculum nascosto, il relativismo, e creativity- e il dibattito è intenso e veemente. Questi saggi fanno un importante contributo a tale dibattito, sfidando quello che passa come verità evidente, concentrandosi ciò che tende ad essere offuscata, ricordando dove la memoria ha cominciato a fallire. non ci si aspetterebbe un consenso su particolari punti sostanziali della filosofia, ma i contributori ..... condividere una preoccupazione per avere i loro argomenti filosofici portano in materia di pratica educativa. questa collezione è testimonianza del fatto che questo obiettivo può essere perseguito senza sacrificare gli standard di interesse filosofico e adeguatezza ". Dalla Introduzione di William Hare, professore di educazione e Filosofia, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada.
