Hacker Prevention Techniques
I remember when the term “hacker” referred to a computer geek who could transform a mundane electronic device, with a few modifications, into something completely different from what the manufacturer and designer had envisioned for it. In some cases, these were cool improvements and more than one of these hackers made a fortune selling the rights to them.

Source code: Raytracing.zip 104 KB
I just saw the Japanese Animation movie Spirited Away and couldn’t help admiring the combination of cool moving graphics, computer generated backgrounds, and integration of sound. This inspired me to revisit the world of 3-D computer graphics. One of the coolest techniques in generating 3-D objects is known as ray tracing. This technique utilizes how the behavior of a particle of light (a photon) with a solid or refractive object. We are only interested in the rays that reflect into the camera or view area near the eye. This “view” area forms the image from the different colors and intensities bouncing back from the solid object.

Pay Attention To Your Customers! : How Being a Good “People Watcher” Can Improve Sales.
A lot has been written about what makes a good salesperson. Education, experience, training, and even a certain inborn “killer instinct” have all been mentioned as necessary qualities to be good at sales.

Permission E-Mail Marketing
We all hate e-mail spam, right? I even have the coolest software program that will help you combat spam and actually bounces the spam e-mail straight back to the user. (http://www.mailwasher.net)
However, one thing that we often fail to admit (except in private) is the importance of permission e-mail marketing, where the members of your mailing list have given you permission to contact them, or where they’re past customers of yours. Obviously, these e-mail lists are always opt-out, so if someone chooses not to continue receiving information from you, they can easily get removed from the list.
How To Edit Your Articles As You Write
Increase your ezine subscribers by submitting articles once or twice a week to the opt-in ezines. Read by thousands, even hundreds of thousands, you get 15 new subscribers for each submission. Your articles also bring people to your Web site to buy your products.
Knowing these benefits, you want to create and submit as many excellent articles as you can. At times, you have the articles complete, but don’t have anyone handy to edit them. While it’s best to get at least two other edits from business associates, you can edit your articles yourself with a little help.
How to Obtain and Use Customer Testimonials
Before you rent or go to a movie, what do you do? You find out what others have said, whether those others be professional critics or average people who have seen the movie. Before you spend that seven dollars, you want to know what other people like you thought of the experience. Essentially, these movie criticisms and endorsements are testimonials.
It’s natural for people to buy on a recommendation from another customer, rather than rely on a sales pitch to help them make their decision. That is why it’s so important for you to obtain and use customer testimonials.
