Purchasing Used Cars in Maine

Buying Used From a Dealer
Go into the dealership knowing what you can afford to spend and with a firm price range in mind. Many salespeople will try to get you into a newer, more expensive car than you went in looking for. Two major differences when buying from a dealer as opposed to a private seller are the amount of information the dealer is required to provide and the warranties that may be available with the purchase.

Maine’s Used Car Information Act requires dealers to attach a window sticker called a Buyer’s Guide to the used cars they sell. The Buyer’s Guide must contain the following information:

  1. The car’s make, model, year, and identification number.
  2. What the car was used for by its previous owner (taxi, rental car,
    personal car).
  3. All mechanical defects known to the dealer.
  4. How the dealer acquired the car (auction, trade-in, repossession).

Software Security Engineering: A Guide for Project Managers

Software is ubiquitous. Many of the products, services, and processes organizations use and offer are highly dependent on software to handle the sensitive and high-value data on which people’s privacy, livelihoods, and very lives depend. National security—and by extension citizens’ personal safety—relies on increasingly complex, interconnected, software-intensive information systems—systems that in many cases use the Internet or Internet-exposed private networks as their means for communication and transporting data.

Dependence on information technology makes software security a key element of business continuity, disaster recovery, incident response, and national security. Software vulnerabilities can jeopardize intellectual property, consumer trust, business operations and services, and a broad spectrum of critical applications and infrastructures, including everything from process control systems to commercial application products.

Trust Management for the SemanticWeb

Abstract. Though research on the Semantic Web has progressed at a steady pace, its promise has yet to be realized. One major difficulty is that, by its very nature, the Semantic Web is a large, uncensored system to which anyone may contribute. This raises the question of how much credence to give each source. We cannot expect each user to know the trustworthiness of each source, nor would we want to assign top-down or global credibility values due to the subjective nature of trust. We tackle this problem by employing a web of trust, in which each user maintains trusts in a small number of other users. We then compose these trusts into trust values for all other users. The result of our computation is not an agglomerate “trustworthiness” of each user. Instead, each user receives a personalized set of trusts, which may vary widely from person to person. We define properties for combination functions which merge such trusts, and define a class of functions for which merging may be done locally while maintaining these properties. We give examples of specific functions and apply them to data from Epinions and our Bib-Serv bibliography server. Experiments confirm that the methods are robust to noise, and do not put unreasonable expectations on users. We hope that these methods will help move the Semantic Web closer to fulfilling its promise.
