WS-I Basic Profile. The WS-I Basic Profile (official abbreviation is BP), a specification from the Web Services Interoperability industry consortium (WS-I), provides interoperability guidance for core Web Services specifications such as SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI. The profile uses Web Services Description Language (WSDL) to enable the description of services as sets of endpoints operating on messages.

To understand the importance of WSI-BP, note that it defines a much narrower set of valid services than the full WSDL or SOAP schema. Many common platforms (listed below) support WSI-BP but do not support services outside of it. Compare the WSDL 1.1 specification to the subset permitted in WSI-BP.  Also note that WSI-BP generally narrows the SOAP specification.  There is a notable exception where WSI expands on the SOAP standard, and that is in adding xml:lang attribute on fault elements.

Versions
Version 1.0 of this profile was released in early 2004.
Version 1.1 published in 2006 does not have the same scope as version 1.0. The part of version 1.0 dealing with serialization of envelopes and their representation in messages has been moved to a new profile called Simple Soap Binding Profile (SSBP)
Version 1.2 was finalized in November 2010. The main new features are the support for MTOM binary attachments and WS-Addressing
Version 2.0 was also published in November 2010. It uses SOAP 1.2, UDDI 3 and WS-Addressing

Web Services Interoperability. The Web Services Interoperability Organization (WS-I) was an industry consortium created in 2002 and chartered to promote interoperability amongst the stack of web services specifications. WS-I did not define standards for web services; rather, it created guidelines and tests for interoperability. 
In July 2010, WS-I joined the OASIS, standardization consortium as a member section. 
It operated until December 2017. 
The WS-I standards were then maintained by relevant technical committees within OASIS.

It was governed by a board of directors consisting of the founding members (IBM, Microsoft, BEA Systems, SAP, Oracle, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, and Intel) and two elected members (Sun Microsystems and webMethods). After it joined OASIS, other organizations have joined the WS-I technical committee including CA Technologies, JumpSoft and Booz Allen Hamilton. 

The organization's deliverables included profiles, sample applications that demonstrate the profiles' use, and test tools to help determine profile conformance.

WS-I Profiles 

According to WS-I, a profile is
A set of named web services specifications at specific revision levels, together with a set of implementation and interoperability guidelines recommending how the specifications may be used to develop interoperable web services.

 WS-I Basic Profile
 WS-I Basic Security Profile
 Simple Soap Binding Profile

WS-I Profile Compliance 

The WS-I is not a certifying authority; thus, every vendor can claim to be compliant to a profile. However the use of the test tool is required before a company can claim a product to be compliant. See WS-I Trademarks and Compliance claims requirements

HP Color recovery. Color recovery is a technique used in Hewlett-Packard's 1990s workstation graphics devices to produce a 'near 24-bit' color look from an 8-bit framebuffer.  Color recovery does rely on software support which is provided by libraries such as PHIGS, PEXLib, Starbase and Xlib (although Xlib does not enable it by default).

When using Color Recovery the data is sent to the driver as a 24-bit image.  The driver will then dither the data (in most cases this can be done by the graphics hardware for maximum performance) which is stored in the framebuffer as an 8-bit image. On displaying that 8-bit image data, HP's color recovery technology produces in real time an approximation of the original 24-bit image based on the hints provided by the dithered data.  The result is significantly better looking than dithering alone.  According to the article in HP's journal, the technique could achieve up to 23 bits of color accuracy.

Color Recovery was supported on framebuffers such as:

The integrated framebuffer in the HP 9000/712 workstation
HCRX framebuffer
Visualize EG

Visualize EG. The Visualize EG is a Hewlett-Packard 2D graphics card used in their Series 700 UNIX workstations.

The Visualize-EG (project name Graffiti) was the basic graphics card in the era of HP's older B, C and J class workstations (e.g., the B132). In those, EG was the integrated (on the motherboard) display device, although it was also available in GSC and later PCI card form. EG is a descendant of HP's CRX family of graphics devices.

Despite being entry level, and offering no hardware 3D features, EG had excellent 2D performance. Specifications (without optional memory upgrade) are:

 Resolutions up to 1280 × 1024 at 75 Hz.
 8 planes providing up to 256 simultaneously displayed colours chosen from a true-color palette.
 Two 256-entry hardware colour maps.
 HP Color recovery technology for simulated True Color using only 8 planes.

Optional memory can be used to provide one or the other of these benefits:

 Extra resolution – up to 1600 × 1200 or 1200 × 1600 @ 75 Hz.
 16 more planes, giving 24 in total: 
16 of these become image planes with the other 8 used as moveable "overlay" planes. Another 2 hardware colormaps become available, providing 2 for the image planes and 2 for the overlay planes.

The EG features an accelerated 2D graphics engine that is capable of:
 BitBLT featuring boolean and arithmetic raster operations at up to 241 million pixels per second.
 Filling – a very fast (up to 2.3 billion pixels per second) hardware fill allows filling of rectangular areas with solid color or stippled pattern. It is also possible to fill with bitmap patterns.
 Vectors – the hardware can produce over 7 million 10-pixel X Window System compliant vectors per second.
 Trapezoids – hardware support for trapezoids means filled polygons can be created at a rate of 106 million pixels per second.
 Window clip and offset – time-consuming clipping and relative co-ordinate translation are provided for in hardware.
 Hardware cursor – a 2-color 64 × 64 pixel 'sprite' is provided for presenting the cursor.

The programming interface of the EG (and other HP graphics devices) has been kept private to HP, although efforts to release them are underway. The documentation needs to be "scrubbed" to check and remove company confidential material.

Jerry Neil Schneider. Jerry Neil Schneider (born circa 1951) is a social engineer and security consultant. While still in high school in 1968, Schneider started a company called "Creative Systems Enterprises" (CSE) and began selling his own invented electronic communication devices. Schneider obtained parts by information diving from Pacific Telephone and Telegraph's dumpsters. During this scavenging, he built up a collection of PTT documents including invoices and training manuals. After a few years, he reportedly knew more about PTT's procedures than its own employees.

1970–1971: Schneider expanded his telephone wholesale business while majoring in Electrical Engineering in college.

June, 1971: Schneider started a plan to acquire new telephone equipment from PTT, market it as "refurbished," and sell it through CSE, his own company. The exact details of his scam are currently not available, but did have a van with Pacific Bell logo he kept in his mom's garage. He also acquired equipment from Western Electric Company in a similar manner. He sold equipment back to Pacific and to others.

January, 1972: A former employee of CSE (refused a raise from $11/hour to $13/hour) tips off law enforcement. Police raid  CSE's offices and warehouse. The District Attorney estimates the found equipment is worth $8,000. At this time, they learn that Schneider had made off with $125,000 worth of gear. Schneider later admits to nearly $900,000.

He was arrested on February 8, 1972. Contemporary sources rate his caper as one of the most famous computer crimes in history.

After plea bargaining, Schneider eventually pleaded guilty on May 15, 1972 to one count of grand theft of $5,000 worth of equipment. In July 1972, he was sentenced to two months in a minimum security facility. He only served forty days and paid a $500 fine.

1972: Schneider, at 21, formed a security consultancy that targeted companies wishing to protect themselves from computer criminals. 

November 26, 1974: Date of final judgement of civil suit from PTT. Suit stated that Schneider had stolen equipment valued at $214,649.63, and that equipment valued at $73,452.81 had been returned.

1977: Schneider left the security consulting firm.

Transport Layer Interface. In computer networking, the Transport Layer Interface (TLI) was the networking API provided by AT&T UNIX System V Release 3 (SVR3) in 1987 and continued into Release 4 (SVR4). TLI was the System V counterpart to the BSD sockets programming interface, which was also provided in UNIX System V Release 4 (SVR4). TLI was later standardized as XTI, the X/Open Transport Interface.

TLI and Sockets
It was originally expected that the OSI protocols would supersede TCP/IP, thus TLI is designed from an OSI model-oriented viewpoint, corresponding to the OSI transport layer.  Otherwise, TLI looks similar, API-wise, to sockets.

TLI and XTI were widely used (?) and, up to UNIX 98, may have been preferred over the POSIX Sockets API with respect to existing standards.  However, it was clear at least since the early 1990s that the Berkeley Socket interface would ultimately prevail. TLI and XTI are still supported in SVR4-derived operating systems and operating systems conforming to branded UNIX (UNIX 95, UNIX 98 and UNIX 03 Single UNIX Specifications) such as Solaris and AIX (as well as the classic Mac OS, in the form of Open Transport).  Under UNIX 95 (XPG4) and UNIX 98 (XPG5.2), XTI was the preferred and recommended supported API for new transport protocols.  As a result of deliberations by the Austin Group with the goal of bringing flavors of UNIX that do not provide STREAMS, such as BSD and Linux, under the Single UNIX Specification, the UNIX 03 Single UNIX Specification both declares STREAMS as optional, and declares POSIX Sockets as the preferred API for new transport protocols.

Smithsonite. Smithsonite, also known as zinc spar, is the mineral form of zinc carbonate (ZnCO3). Historically, smithsonite was identified with hemimorphite before it was realized that they were two different minerals. The two minerals are very similar in appearance and the term calamine has been used for both, leading to some confusion. The distinct mineral smithsonite was named in 1832 by François Sulpice Beudant in honor of English scientist James Smithson (c. 1765–1829), who first identified the mineral in 1802.

Smithsonite is a variably colored trigonal mineral which only rarely is found in well formed crystals. The typical habit is as earthy botryoidal masses. It has a Mohs hardness of 4.5 and a specific gravity of 4.4 to 4.5.

Smithsonite occurs as a secondary mineral in the weathering or oxidation zone of zinc-bearing ore deposits. It sometimes occurs as replacement bodies in carbonate rocks and as such may constitute zinc ore. It commonly occurs in association with hemimorphite, willemite, hydrozincite, cerussite, malachite, azurite, aurichalcite and anglesite. It forms two limited solid solution series, with substitution of manganese leading to rhodochrosite, and with iron, leading to siderite. A bright yellow variety is sometimes called "turkey fat ore". The cause of the yellow colour is due to the presence of greenockite inclusions within the smithsonite crystals.
