The C/DAS security system ($329.95) for laptop computers is compact enough to take on the road. From Rokan (Roswell, GA), the system uses a patented sensor device that you connect to your computer via a special adhesive pad that leaves no residue after it is removed. Once attached, the sensor is connected to a control module via a 3-foot cable. You then enter your personal four-digit code to activate the system, which emits a 110-dB alarm if anybody tampers with it or attempts to disconnect the AC power. To deactivate the alarm, you reenter your four-digit code and disconnect the cables.

Flexible C++

My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
