The Goddess Shines on America

To say that Gates is not a person who loves to show off, Alice, who is a past person, will not believe it if he is killed, so as expected, the 30-year-old handsome uncle immediately entered a state of excitement.

"I have already bought a piece of land in Seattle, it is on the east bank of Lake Washington, a piece of more than 66,000 acres, and it only sold for two million!"

"Oh, that's really great." Alice calmly sipped the orange juice, at least 40% of her attention was on the construction site of the building outside the window: "So what about the building materials? Since the birds do not **** when they run by the lake You would not choose reinforced concrete to build a house in a new place, would you?"

"Of course, how can I use that kind of material." Gates, who was in a state of excitement, didn't care about eating. God knows how much inspiration he added to his future residence. In fact, he couldn't wait to show off to Alice. Something.

"I plan to adopt an all-wood structure. Of course, ordinary wood is not acceptable." After all, it is also a land that was only bought. Many combinations will be available after completion. Gates has to think about it for a long time. I am more optimistic about Douglas fir for long timber, and it is at least two hundred years old. What do you think?"

"Oh, don't ask me about this." Alice said, "I am a pure modern technology enjoyr. If I cover it, I must use carbon fiber to make the floor. You and I don't feel it."

"Carbon, carbon fiber?" Gates was a little bit dumbed by an unclear vocabulary. However, this time is after all his opening special: "Well, whatever the fiber is, I have decided anyway. All Douglas fir trees over two hundred years old will be used for the floor!"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh."

"Of course, Alice, this kind of hedonism of yours is also common to me." It's rare to be chatting with colleagues, rather than discussing advanced topics with the silly people like the aunt next door. Gates is really current. Conceived his new house.

"You see, I was a software engineer, and your Cisco is the leader in network construction. If it is to make our new home... I mean, how about the special futurization of my home renovation?"

Futuristic, the word should be considered modern to Alice, well, of course it's boring to pick the word, as long as the meaning is the same.

"In this regard, I can give you an idea directly."

It's too simple and troublesome, Alice said: "I just came up with a new term called smart home. Hum, it should be my original, have you heard it from other colleagues?"

"Intelligent...no," it sounds funny. New concepts such as the Internet of Things are often proposed by Silicon Valley bigwigs. But at this time, Gates, as one of the "proposable people", was turned by Alice. Bluffed: "Don't let me guess, just explain it directly!"

"Well, the so-called smart home must first be built on a lofty goal, that is, to allow all kinds of electrical appliances in the home to be equipped with computer chips and have a microcomputer power supply."

This sentence is enough to make Gates think deeply and nod his head constantly. In the past few years, the efforts of IBM and Hewlett-Packard have been seen by their peers. Computer miniaturization is the general trend. According to the law proposed by the current chairman of Intel, the major premise put forward by Alice's mouth can indeed be realized quickly. .

"Then it will probably take around 2000," he muttered: "It seems that I have to spend some time to build my house slowly?"

Alice chuckled softly: "I said, buddy, don't just think about the house. Didn't you see that I was proposing an emerging market?"

They are all geniuses with a high IQ, and misalignment is just a moment’s effort. Thinking about it, Gates immediately followed Alice’s rhythm: "Oh, yes, this is indeed an emerging market. You are interested in Develop it here?"

The girl leaned back in the chair with a smile, sipping juice happily: "The computerization of household appliances, and then use network equipment to connect them, and then let users control them with the operating system. Bill, what areas do you think of?"

"Intel’s chip research and development, Cisco’s network hardware development, Microsoft’s NT project is taking shape...Ah~" Gates followed the ideas provided by Alice and came to the conclusion that made himself suddenly: "No wonder you can come up with this The idea of ​​smart home, isn't it just the field you are engaged in!"

"If you count the time, I should go back to Eaton in September." But Alice suddenly changed the subject, but it seems that the basic content is still revolving around her and Gates: "So the last eight In May, I have to visit Silicon Valley all over, and of course I will go to Redmond again. Anyway, I have got the title of technical consultant in so many share-holding companies, and I should do my best in the end~"

This is as if someone is about to return to heaven.

"From Lockheed, have you come to you recently?"

Gates suddenly asked such a question. Alice shrugged and said, "No, at least there is nothing to let me go to Maryland again. At most, it's just a bunch of emails that are endless. Is there any problem?"

"Some time ago, Lockheed Jr. came to me." Gates said: "After all, the programming of military aircraft and missiles is a big project. They want to reach a preliminary partnership with Microsoft to provide support for some procedural matters."

This is by no means a trivial matter. Alice immediately put down the cup and said, "When did it happen? Who knows?"

"That is, the email they sent me five days ago. I haven't announced this to the company. Alice, you have something to do with Lockheed. They didn't notify you directly?"

"Oh, this is normal, you are the CEO of Microsoft." Alice waved her hand indifferently: "What I am concerned about is, is it clear from the Ministry of Defense?"

"As a veteran arms dealer, Lockheed's connections in the military and political circles are really insignificant." Gates analyzed: "The things in Washington are things in another world for us. Who knows how those politicians deal with these chaos It might be that Lockheed asked their congressmen to lobby in the Department of Defense, and then attracted others to actively propose that Lockheed and our Microsoft cooperate?"

It is indeed too difficult for a purely technical otaku to understand the political circle. After all, Gates is only in his early thirties at this time. It is precisely when four-fifths of the seven days a week are spent typing on the keyboard, how can you have the time to study those?

"After all, our scale of development is not enough, especially in terms of history. In the final analysis, less than half of the Silicon Valley people are actually upstarts." Alice shrugged empathetically: "Although the IT industry is indeed high in value, when it comes to In terms of establishing contacts in the political circle, those traditional industries are hundreds of years ahead of us, and they are incomparable~"

This is enough gossip. The chairman of Microsoft left his work and went all the way to California to meet with Alice. Of course, he could not just be greetings and chattering. After eating, I went back to the room again—no conspiracy, no sex—they still had serious work to do.

"NT project here, oh my goodness..."

In the room, handing the materials to Alice, Gates stretched his waist first: "It's almost done, at least half of your credit is here!"

Seeing Alice picking up the information, he suddenly felt the urge to never want to move.

Because this big project is really tossing people.

Alice hasn't visited Redmond for a long time, but that doesn't mean that Microsoft's expansion is stagnating, although almost all of the big single achievements so far have been created by it. If Cisco was established for three years, and now as a listed company, it has recruited a thousand employees, occupying no less than two buildings. Of course, the scale of Microsoft is not small.

Two hundred people, this is the company's current third largest shareholder, and Paul Allen recruited for the NT project team. This group of young men really needs a lot of office space. From the very beginning of this project, everyone in the company knew that this must be an extremely time-consuming project.

After all, there is a big difference between a server-oriented Internet operating system and a system purely for PCs, that is, the former DOS and the current win1.0~3.0.

First, employees need to develop a new type of file system. According to the name of the email sent by Alice, it is called NTFS, or Windows-eology-File-System, which provides secure access control and fault tolerance. On large-capacity disks, its efficiency is much higher than the old FAT. .

Then, the programmer has to set up a sharing system and set certain permissions for network resources. Furthermore, they also need the concept of creating user accounts. After all, for a server-type computer, not everyone has the right to use all resources.

Then there is the domain, which is the basic unit of data security and centralized management, that is, countless servers loaded with NT systems are integrated into one, and a group of computers share the same account and security database ~www.readwn.com~With a domain, Of course, there is also the concept of work groups. In this network structure where resources and system management are dispersed, each computer has a peer-to-peer relationship, and each computer can be a server or a workstation.

There is also the issue of rights, which allows the administrator to authorize a user to perform certain operations on the system to protect the system as a whole. The logical laws of mathematics are fully demonstrated here, and if there is a right, there is a concept of authority, which stipulates the users who can use an object and what method to use.

Furthermore, various security audit projects are even more complicated and almost crazy. You know, Microsoft itself was a direct victim of the original "exchange gate". Although IBM has been very honest recently, which employee does not take this item as the top priority?

Therefore, Alice also directly turned the report information to the most important one: "The security agreement is here..."

Gates raised his eyebrows: "How?"

how about it?

How much can Alice expect for the code compiled by a group of ordinary programmers?

"Too redundant eh~" (To be continued.)
