A system and method that allows multiple threads, or topics, to be managed and displayed within a single instant messaging session is provided. When an instant messaging session commences, an initial, or first, thread commences to which both parties to the instant messaging session can add comments. Two input areas are provided—one for inputting text to the first conversation thread and a second for inputting text that will commence a new (second) thread. When a second thread is started, three input areas appear for both parties of the instant messaging session: (1) the input area to add text to the first thread, (2) a new input area for adding text to the newly created second thread, and (3) the input area for adding text to a new (third) thread. In this manner, a virtually unlimited number of conversation threads can be included in a single instant messaging session.

A method and system for downloading software according to an identity of a user. Upon booting up a client computer, the user is automatically directed to a deployment server, which contains a listing of software to which the user is authorized to download and use. The directions to the deployment server are provided by a domain name server, or a domain controller. The software initially loaded onto the client computer is minimal, such that it is easily appended with additional features and programs.

A method for providing an image of software installed on a computer system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of deconstructing the image into at least one portion and creating at least one module from the at least one portion of the image. The deconstructing step can include the steps of scanning an image and identifying at least one portion of the image to be modularized. The creating step can include the steps of extracting the at least one portion of the image identified to be modularized and generating at least one module from the extracted portion of the image. The modules that are created in accordance with the present invention can be formatted for use in a new image or part of a new image to be used with a software program such as with a hardware-independent imaging tool. Furthermore, the modules can be used with hardware-independent technologies and can facilitate management of image inventory and facilitate deployment of images to new computer systems with different hardware configurations. Furthermore, the method is simple, cost effective and capable of being easily adapted to existing technology.

The present invention relates to a method and system for providing an option when sending an email which will require the recipient of the email to provide an extra level of authentication before displaying the email contents in order to prove that he or she is indeed the correct recipient of the email. Validation is required by the recipient every time he or she opens an email. This validation occurs in the form of authentication that the user is indeed the intended recipient of the email, and can be provided in various means, including biometric identification, password phrases, and so forth.

When data changes in LBAs of a disk storage, the IDs of changed LBAs are written to a cache, with the LBAs being hashed to render a hash result. The hash result and contents of the cache are written to a file on the disk, the cache flushed, and the hash result written back to the cache for hashing together with subsequent changed LBAs. The process repeats. In this way, the hash result in the most current file on the disk can be compared with the hash result in cache, and if the two match, it indicates that the files on the disk contain an accurate record of changed LBAs.

Various methods are disclosed for ensuring compliance with operating system license requirements in a server blade center environment in which a server blade may have plural images of an O.S., one for each of plural thin clients serviced by the blade.
摘要:
A method, computer program product and system for enabling a client device in a client device/data center environment to resume from sleep state more quickly. The resource in the server blade used for suspending the activity of the computing state of the client device in order to enter the client device in a sleep state is not reallocated for a period of time. If the client device indicates to the server blade to resume the client device from sleep state prior to the ending of that period of time, then the server blade reinitializes the computing state using the same resource as used in suspending the computing state of the client device. By using the same resource, steps traditionally implemented in resuming the client device from sleep state are avoided thereby reducing the time in resuming the client device from sleep state.
