The term was used as a more formal name for free software before the name open source was coined.Article about an FRS conference from the Linux Journal in 1996

The non-modifiable FRS generally comes in the form of executable binaries and is often used by proprietary software companies and authors to showcase their work or to encourage the user to buy full products from them (in the case of shareware, demo or trial versions). Freeware that is not restricted to be obtained from a specific distributor is also FRS.

SKIP

The SKIP method used by the Kodansha Learner’s Dictionary is an original system for indexing kanji, meant to be accessible to those who have no prior knowledge of kanji. Instead of organizing kanji based on radicals, they are organized based on pattern. Based on how a kanji can be divided into sections, they are grouped into four main categories: Left-Right (1), Up-Down (2), Enclosure (3), and Solid (4). Users then count the number of strokes in each segment, and then use this to determine the kanji’s SKIP number.

Determining SKIP numbers

1) Left-Right

Left-Right kanji are those which can be broken down into sections segmented vertically such as 明 (bright), which can be broken down into the left segment 日 (sun) and the right segment 月 (moon). Thus, 明 would be in the first main category (Left-Right), would have four strokes in its left segment and four in its right, giving it a SKIP number 1-4-4.

In the above example, the kanji can be broken down into two segments, both of which are actual radicals, but such does not need to be the case. The kanji 潮 (tide) can broken down into three segments 氵(water), 車 (wheel), and 月. In such cases, the leftmost discrete element is treated as the left segment, and the rest of the kanji as the right segment. Therefore, 潮 is split into the left segment of 氵and the right segment of 車 and 月, and the resulting SKIP number is 1-3-12.

2) Up-Down

Up-Down kanji are kanji that can be broken down into sections segmented horizontally such as 男 (male), which can be broken down into the up segment 田 (rice field) and the down segment 力 (power). Thus, 男 would be in the second main category (Up-Down), would have five strokes in its up section and two strokes in its down section, giving it a SKIP number of 2-5-2.

Again, the up and down sections do not necessarily need to be radicals, and can consist of more than two segments. The kanji 薬 (medicine) can be split into three segments. In such cases, the topmost discrete element is the up segment, while the remainder of the kanji is the down segment. Thus, 薬 has a SKIP number of 2-3-13.

3) Enclosure

Enclosure kanji are kanji where an element of the kanji borders or surrounds other elements of the kanji. Such elements can border other elements on two sides (近 and 症), three sides (風 and 区), or completely surround the other elements (囲). In SKIP numbers for enclosure kanji, the bordering element’s stroke count comes first, followed by the stroke count of the elements inside the enclosure. Thus, the SKIP number of 風 (wind) is 3-2-7.

4) Solid

Solid kanji are kanji that cannot be easily broken down into elements based on the patterns of the other categories. Often these kanji are formed from a single radical. Solid kanji are broken down into four sub-patterns:

1. Top line - Kanji which have a prominent horizontal stroke at the top, ie. 耳 (ear) and 子 (child).
2. Bottom line - Kanji which have a prominent horizontal stroke at the bottom, ie. 上 (up) and 丘 (hill).
3. Through line - Kanji which have a prominent vertical stroke through the middle, ie. 本 (book) and 中 (middle).
4. Others - Kanji which cannot be placed in the preceding sub-patterns, ie. 女 (woman) and 丸 (circle).

SKIP numbers for Solid kanji follow this pattern: 4 (the main category) - (the stroke count for the entire kanji) - (the number of the sub-pattern). Thus, the SKIP number of 子 is 4-3-1 and the SKIP number for 本 is 4-5-3.

Aids in searching

In its index for kanji, pages where a user might erroneously expect a kanji to be located (either because of incorrect classification or incorrect stroke count) are cross-referenced with their correct SKIP number.

The player flies the copter by rapidly pressing the fire button on the joystick. If the player stops pressing the button, or runs into some sort of obstacle, then the copter will fall into the sea. For a few of these falls, the player is saved by a whale who surfaces with the copter on its head and allows the player to continue the game. If the player runs out of “Fish,” (which can be stolen or recaptured from flying pelicans,) then a “Jaws”-inspired shark eats the player instead and the game is over.

The market dates back to the fourteenth century. It is open from 07:00-16:00 Monday to Friday, and sells fresh food; among the vendors there are cheesemongers, butchers and fishmongers.

The ornate roof structure, painted green, maroon and cream, and cobbled floors of the current building, designed in 1881 by Sir Horace Jones (who was also the architect of Billingsgate and Smithfield Markets), make the building a tourist attraction. It was used to represent the area of London near The Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley in the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. It is also popular among local city workers specifically from the nearby Lloyd’s of London building.

The term derives from the long-established role of consulting engineer in the field of e.g. Civil Engineering, which term denotes a person who represents the client’s interests with the architects, builders and other suppliers engaged on a construction project.

Consulting software engineers typically monitor the working practices of the construction team, as well as ensuring that the software under development most closely meets the needs of the customer.

Consulting software engineers generally get paid by the customer, thus encouraging them to represent the customers interests.

They serve private and public clients in ways ranging from brief consultations to complete design and coordination of a project. They are often the technical liaison between architects, process specialists, contractors, suppliers and the client.

A consulting software engineer’s speciality may include a broad spectrum of software engineering technologies and skills, including the fields of software process design and redesign; analysis; design; measurement; project and programme management; coding; testing; configuration management; etc.

A consulting software engineer can provide general consultation, feasibility reports, design reviews, cost estimates, rate studies, project monitoring and oversight, patent assistance and preparation of business impact statements.

Few customers engage consulting software engineers.

The opposite notion is the relative investment performance.

Absolute return strategies, better known by the name “hedge fund strategies”, are kinds of investment strategies which can produce a sustainable return under any kind of market condition.

Frequently used absolute return strategies include:

• Long/Short
• Market-neutral
• Event-driven
• Cyclical trading
• Long bias
• Short bias

However, there are also some “Long Only” or “Short Only” hedge funds which claims that they are using absolute return strategies.

An absolute return Strategy should have very low correlation with market performance, thus can effect the asset allocation, stock picking or market timing abilities of the fund manager.

Specialised products generally offer higher productivity to organisations than more generalised software such as basic spreadsheet or database packages.

Most large software companies, including Microsoft and IBM, have special programs for ISVs.

An ISV makes and sells software products that run on one or more computer hardware or operating system platforms. The companies that make the platforms, such as BEA Systems, Microsoft, IBM, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Apple, encourage and lend support to ISVs, often with special “business partner” programs.

In general, the more applications that run on a platform, the more value it offers to customers. Of course, platform manufacturers such as Microsoft and IBM make applications as well, but don’t have the resources and, in many cases, the special knowledge required, to make them all.

Some ISVs focus on a particular operating system, such as IBM’s small business AS/400, for which there are thousands of ISV applications. Other ISVs specialise in a particular application area, such as engineering, and develop software primarily for high-end Unix-based workstation platforms.

ISVs make and sell software that is added to platforms. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) use hardware platform components to build larger products. Value-added resellers (VARs) incorporate platform software into their own software product packages.

• The small business market generally consists of home accounting software, and office suites such as Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org.
• The medium size, or SME, has a broader range of software applications, ranging from accounting, groupware, customer relationship management, human resources software, loan origination software, shopping cart software, field service software, and other productivity enhancing applications.
• The last segment covers enterprise level software applications, such as those in the fields of enterprise resource planning, enterprise content management (ECM), business process management and product lifecycle management. These applications are extensive in scope, and often come with modules that either add native functions, or incorporate the functionality of third-party software programs.

Now, technologies that have previously only existed in peer-to-peer software applications, like Kazaa and Napster, are starting to feature within business applications. JXTA is an open source platform that enables the creation of machine and language neutral applications. Peer based applications will be especially useful for aggregating the information at the edge of the network that currently resides in the neurons of the users themselves.
