Cloak Vs Spiders

In two sentences or less, explain how deceptive cloaking could be self-defeating for web
site designers and how double spidering could be self-defeating for search engine
companies.

Cloaking could be self-defeating for web site designers because sites that employ
deceptive cloaking are usually banned from the database of the search engine. Double
spidering could be self-defeating for search engine companies because it consumes the
computer resources of a web site and thus resulting in slow response time on the web.


Cloaking and spidering can be cast as a variant of the lunch bag game. In two sentences or
less, describe what is meant by cooperation and defection of the two players, web site
designers and search engine companies.

Both web designers and search engine company can cooperate by not doing deceptive
cloaking and double spidering, which will increase both ranking of their website and
efficiency and appeal of web searching. On the other hand, if both parties decided to
defect from each other, it will result in reducing performance of the search engine for
the search engine company and getting banned from the database of the search engine
for the web site designers.




Engineering Contigency

Aside from the issue of appropriate compensation for engineering work, why is there a need
to differ from the policy for lawyers? (maximum three sentences)

According to APEGBC code of ethics item 4, Engineers should not request, or propose a
contingent fee since it might compromise their judgment and might raise conflict of
interest. Also, it differs from lawyers because engineers shall act in such a manner as to
uphold and enhance the integrity of the profession. In addition, engineers should be
ethical and free of outside influence, such as monetary gain.


Can you think of any practical problems associated with implementation of a fee
arrangement based on successful performance of a product or process? (maximum two
sentences)

recommends Honda to purchase 50,000 gallons of oil for their maintenance service
from his sister company.

Odd Job Bob

What was the primary reason in this case for the courts decision that Moreau was an
independent contractor? (one sentence)

The primary reasons for the courts decision that Moreau was an independent
contractor were that Moreau had the option to turned down the job, and if he decided
to take the job, he can controlled the amount of time it took to complete the job and
hence he had the ability to negotiate the price for the job and to control the amount of
profit he earned.


The result of this case suggests that Odd Job Bob could be vicariously liable for Moreaus
mistakes such as the ones he made while working on the lockers.
F


The argument that Moreau was liable for defective workmanship was based on the fact that
an employee would not be liable to an employer for defective or incomplete work.
