MetaMatrix is an U.S.-based technology company that created the first true Enterprise Information Integration (EII) software product to deliver data services for service-oriented architectures. Founded in 1998 as Quadrian and later renamed, MetaMatrix has development offices in St. Louis and Boston, and business offices in NY, Baltimore, Washington, DC, Boston, and London.

JBoss is a division of Red Hat, Inc.. It specializes in open-source middleware software. The company profits from a service-based business model. JBoss employ a Professional Open Source business model[1] where the core developers of projects make a living and offer their services. The project, as an Open Source project, is developed and supported by a network of programmers.

C2Net was an Internet cryptography company founded by Sameer Parekh, which was sold to Red Hat in 2000. It was best known for its Stronghold secure webserver software. C2Net started out as Community ConneXion, an Internet Privacy Provider (sort of like an Internet Service Provider) providing customers with anonymous Internet services, from dialup access to email accounts. Community ConneXion implemented the first double-blind anonymous mail forwarding service (aka nym server), as well as was the company that commercialized the Anonymizer before selling it to Lance Cottrell's Anonymizer, Inc..

Dogtail is an open source GUI testing tool and automation framework written in Python. It is Linux-based and is packaged with well known GNU/Linux distributions such as Fedora. It uses accessibility technologies (like AT-SPI) to communicate with desktop applications. It makes use of accessibility-related metadata to create an in-memory model of the application's GUI elements.

How the 4004 Came About "In 1971, Busicom, a Japanese company, wanted a chip for a new calculator. With incredible o verkill, Intel built the world's first general-purpose microprocessor. Then it bought back the rights for $60,000. The 4-bit 4004 ran at 108 kHz and contained 2300 transistors. Its speed is estimated at 0.06 MIPS. By comparison, Intel's P6 , runs at 133 MHz, contains 5.5 million transistors, and executes 300 MIPS."

The history of the processor is an interesting one, full of fierce competition and advanced technology, yet short in the terms of years. At the point where I will begin addressing this history, we are beginning with a 5 MHz 8086 processor, and today we are routinely seeing 1.8 GHz to up over 2 GHz. What a difference 20-some years can make. Let us start.

The genesis of ALDS In the earliest days of software development at Tandy, the Z80 assembly language development for the TRS-80 and Tandy brands of personal computers work was done using a few different packages, including EDTASM, and one or more Z80 cross-assemblers (probably commercial products) that ran on a Tandem mainframe.

SGML, in its present form, is the result of the efforts of many people, channelled into four major activities that occurred over the past twenty years: generic coding, the GML and SGML languages, the SGML standard, and major SGML applications.

SuperMemo isn't just a piece of software for managing repetitions of the learned material. Over years it acquired a great deal of additional functionality that made it the indisputably best self-learning tool in the world. New solutions have constantly been added, improved or removed until the program has assumed the current shape as available in SuperMemo 2000 for Windows
