Distributed Operating Systems Fallacies of Distributed Operating Systems

There are many fallacies to distributed operating systems, with the majority created due to incomplete, inaccurate and often wrong assumptions about how operating systems is designed. The concept of tenancy and topology being dependent on each other, where the topology determines the functionality of the operating systems is completely wrong. The latest development in Web Services, where ubiquity through software-based service that tracks the state or status of any application connected to it, makes topology irrelevant (Malatras, Asgari, Bauge, Irons, 2008). There are many examples of technology-based innovations further underscoring the fallacies of distributed operating systems.

Analysis of the Major Fallacies of Distributed Network Operating Systems

The main fallacies of distributed operating...

...

The fallacy of network latency being zero or nearly in real-time is also false as many factors go into the latency calculations for any transaction or query online. Distributed operating systems also initially assumed that due to their topology they would be inherently secure (Mullender, 1996). The many security breaches of networks including those on distributed operating systems have shown that the exact opposite is true. Windows for Workgroups (WFW) was one of the most porous and easily hacked shared distributed operating systems there was. As can be seen from the list of fallacies so far, they were created based on vendor mis-information and a lack of focus on the actual performance and attributes of these network operating systems. Vendor…

LEGALIZING PROSTITUTION IN THE U.S.A. The topic I have chosen to discuss is the legalization of prostitution in the United States of America. By prostitution, I refer to an act where money is exchanged for rendering sexual services. Presently, 49 states out of 50 in the United States have banned prostitution withonly some forms of it allowed in a few areas of Nevada. This is not the case in all developed

Water Privatization How Privatization of Water is Bad for the World Water is a scarce resource, a fact that is becoming more evident as time goes on and pollution becomes more evident. There are many instances where privatization has been beneficial; bureaucratic red tape often makes policy making a headache for consumers, and some eagerly advocate for privatization of certain resources. Privatization often has advantages, but in many instances it also realizes

Pervasive Video Games as Art The form and function of art has evolved and changed quite a bit over the years, decades and millennia. Paintings and sculpture have been artistic mainstays for much to most of the world of the civilized human race. However, with the technological revolution that has roared up over the last fifty years or so, new forms of art have bubbled to the proverbial surface. Digital technology

Good researchers tend to pull methods out of a tool kit as they are needed" (2006, p. 54). Notwithstanding these criticisms and constraints, though, most social researchers seem to agree that classification by some type of research paradigm is a useful approach based on the need to determine which approach is best suited for a given research enterprise. In this regard, Corby concludes that, "The contested nature of research

Some Chinese researchers assert that Chinese flutes may have evolved from of Indian provenance. In fact, the kind of side-blown, or transverse, flutes musicians play in Southeast Asia have also been discovered in Africa, India, Saudi Arabia, and Central Asia, as well as throughout the Europe of the Roman Empire. This suggests that rather than originating in China or even in India, the transverse flute might have been adopted through the

Existing evidence indicates that past confidence in the
