A solution for locating unprotected access points is provided. Particularly, in an embodiment of the invention a wireless network access point (105) providing an access to a network (115) over a wireless connection maintains (602-630) a location structure (530) comprising an indication of a geographical position of each one of a set of unprotected access points (105u) in proximity of the access point, each unprotected access point providing the access to the network at least partially… Show more

A solution for locating unprotected access points is provided. Particularly, in an embodiment of the invention a wireless network access point (105) providing an access to a network (115) over a wireless connection maintains (602-630) a location structure (530) comprising an indication of a geographical position of each one of a set of unprotected access points (105u) in proximity of the access point, each unprotected access point providing the access to the network at least partially unconditionally. A mobile station (110) submits (636) a request to access the network (115) to the access point when the mobile station is within a transmission range thereof, receives (658-660) the indication of the geographical position of at least part of the unprotected access points (105u) in response to a denial of the access from the access point, and outputs (670-680) directions towards one of the unprotected access points according to the corresponding geographical position.

Provided are a computer program, method, and system for determining and assigning a default value to a current server response if the current server response is not received from the server within a time-limit. An indication of a submission of a request is transmitted to the server for receiving a current server response. A default value is assigned to the current server response if the current server response is not received from the server within a time-limit with respect to the current… Show more

Provided are a computer program, method, and system for determining and assigning a default value to a current server response if the current server response is not received from the server within a time-limit. An indication of a submission of a request is transmitted to the server for receiving a current server response. A default value is assigned to the current server response if the current server response is not received from the server within a time-limit with respect to the current submission of the request. A set of operations being performed from the assignment of the default value to the current server response is logged. An actual value of the current server response is received from the server and the logged operations are rolled-back and the current server response reset to the actual value if the actual value is different from the default value.

A method that includes, via a processor, receiving at least one user input within an electronic mail (email) client associating a first email with a logical thread. The first email can specify a task assigned to at least one recipient of the first email. The method further can include sending the first email to the at least one recipient, adding the first email to a logical thread list associated with the logical thread, and receiving a task response from the recipient. Within the logical… Show more

The different illustrative embodiments provide a method and apparatus for managing a set of colors in a document. A plurality of respective costs are identified. Each respective cost is associated with printing the document using a respective combination of a plurality of combinations of the set of colors. An amount of contrast for a first respective combination is identified using a contrast matrix. A determination is made as to whether the amount of contrast for the first respective… Show more

The different illustrative embodiments provide a method and apparatus for managing a set of colors in a document. A plurality of respective costs are identified. Each respective cost is associated with printing the document using a respective combination of a plurality of combinations of the set of colors. An amount of contrast for a first respective combination is identified using a contrast matrix. A determination is made as to whether the amount of contrast for the first respective combination and an associated respective cost meet a set of criteria. Responsive to a determination that the set of criteria is met, the document is printed using the first respective combination. Show less

It is proposed a solution for interacting with a distributed application on a client side of the distributed application. A corresponding method (400) includes the steps of receiving (412) a recent submission of a user request, transferring (415-427) a reference to the user request to a server side of the distributed application to an actual server response current on the to receive communication of the user request, of assigning (439-442) a default value to the current server response if the… Show more
