Bøger i 2020 serien

Returret indtil 28/2 2021Københavns Universitets Skriv- og rejse kalender år 2021 Lige siden oprettelsen i 1479 har det været pålagt Københavns Universitet at udgive en almanak - og det har universitetet levet op til lige siden. Med sine godt 500 år på bagen regnes Almanakken for at være den ældste publikation i Danmark, der stadig udgives hvert år. Igen i år indeholder denne ”Schweizer kniv” på bogform et væld af faste oplysninger om bl.a.: Astronomi, farvandsafmærkninger og højvandstabel, stjernekort, mål og vægt, jagttabel plus et væld af andre nyttige standard oplysninger. Og så indeholder Almanakken naturligvis Danmarks nok mest detaljerede kalender med bl.a. dagens navn. solen og planeternes op- og nedgangstider samt deklination, månedens middeltemperatur og månens faser. Udover det faste stof indeholder årets udgivelse også en række artikler, der hver især beskriver forskningsprojekter fra forskellige af universitetets forskningsområder.

Here are the symptoms: You find unauthorized charges on your credit card bill. A bank account has been drained to zero or your balance is unexplainably low. You cannot access your files or your computer in general because all your files are encrypted, and someone is demanding a ransom payment. You receive letters from your bank because your checks are being returned as Insufficient Funds. Yes, you're bouncing checks. You apply for a loan and learn someone in another city used your credit to purchase a big-ticket item, such as a car, while leveraging your credit score. You receive notice from your insurer that someone has redeemed your benefits. Not you. You receive an annual notice from the Social Security Administration advising you of your entitlements. They are lower than last year. You still work. In How Hacks Happen and how to protect yourself, Mark Anthony Germanos and Brad Cracker show you how hackers think, work, and exploit. They present fake web pages and show you how to vet them. Germanos and Cracker share where your passwords spread and how to reclaim them. They explain how social media sites monetize your personal information and how to reduce the information you share. How Hacks Happen is for anybody who uses the Cloud and feels technology is "too much to handle." Let somebody else become the victim. You read How Hacks Happen and you are safe.
