		These capabilities are a partitioning of the all powerful root privilege into a set of distinct privileges (but look at securelevel emulation to find out that this isn't necessary the whole truth).
		The inheritable capabilities are the capabilities of the current process that should be inherited by a program executed by the current process.
		Emulating the parts of 2.0 securelevel that restricts things that are normally not restricted means that the capabilites in the kernel has to have a set of capabilities that are usually _on_ for a normal process (note that this breaks the explanation that capabilities are a partitioning of the root privileges).

	Journal of Business Logistics: Strategic logistics capabilities for competitive advantage and firm success (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Capabilities or distinctive competencies have been defined in the literature as those attributes, abilities, organizational processes, knowledge, and skills that allow a firm to achieve superior performance and sustained competitive advantage over competitors.3 These two terms of "capabilities" and "distinctive competencies" are often used interchangeably in the literature.
		As recommended by previous capability literature, multiple measures of profitability and growth are utilized for greater depth of understanding and increased confidence in any results.15 Also, both company performance and performance relative to competitors are employed.
		Data were collected on the perceived importance of strategic logistics capabilities for firm success, the actual implementation of such logistics capabilities, and measures of both firm performance and firm performance relative to competitors.

	UK Resilience \| The Capabilities Programme (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The aim of the Capabilities Programme is to ensure that a robust infrastructure of response is in place to deal rapidly, effectively and flexibly with the consequences of civil devastation and widespread disaster inflicted as a result of conventional or non-conventional disruptive activity.
		The newly established regional resilience teams in each of the Government Offices for the Regions are responsible for co-ordinating activity at the local (local authority or police force) area, and for communications between workstream leaders at the national level on the one hand and local authorities and first responders on the other.
		The Capabilities Programme is intended to cover the whole of the United Kingdom, including Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (the devolved administrations).

	What is a Capability, Anyway?
		Capabilities have a formal, mathematically sound model that can be (and has been) used to prove their security.
		In both capability and ACL systems, the second problem can be solved by creating a new login for the same user and selectively copying into the new account those personal documents that the user should retain access to.
		In capability systems, another solution is possible: build a software-enforced special compartment that prevents the documents from being copied out of the compartment, and only let the user access those documents inside the compartment.

	From Objects to Capabilities
		In a pure capability operating system, such as KeyKOS [Hardy85] or EROS [Shapiro99], a process's only source of authority is the capabilities that it holds.
		A capability is normally thought of as a pairing of a designated process with a set of services that the process provides.
		The capability model is, in a sense, the object model taken to its logical extreme.

	Linux Kernel Wish List
		Capabilities provide operating system security in ways that traditional Unix security mechanisms do not.
		In short, a capability is a pair consisting of a permission, and a file or other resource.
		A very different example of a capability is the coupling of high-priority execution rights to an interrupt.

	EROS FAQ: Basic Questions
		A capability system is an operating system or hardware system in which protection is enforced by capabilities.
		Capabilities (which contain the descriptors) can be passed directly from one program to another; the open step is unnecessary.
		In a capability design, it is not possible for a capability-protected program to open up your electronic check processing file and post a new check made out to the program author unless you permit it by granting access to the object holding the check records.

	About Client Capabilities (Internet Explorer - DHTML) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Every time new client capability information is sent in a cookie as part of the client's request, the server spends precious cycles generating content for that client request.
		Among the types of information client capabilities provides are screen resolution, screen dimensions, available bandwidth, cookies or Java support, color depth, language, as well as components currently installed on the client.
		Once the Browser Capabilities component is created, all client capability information retrieved from the preceding client-side script is accessible as properties of the component.

	Capabilities for Major Regional Conflicts
		Capabilities of forces and weapons (not only the nominal effectiveness of the various divisions, wings, and battle groups, down to the level of particular weapons, but also their real-world in-war capabilities, which might prove quite different)
		South Korea should be capable of defending itself against a North Korean attack, although an attack with weapons of mass destruction might cause a great deal of chaos and trouble, and Seoul is extremely exposed.
		Nonetheless, leveraging the capabilities of allies is often a sensible and cost-effective approach.

		Herewith, then, is an Introduction to Capability Based Security, the simple yet powerful paradigm upon which the KeyKOS operating system was based.
		Capability security is today being resurrected in several places in several ways, notably in the form of the E programming language and the EROS operating system.
		In either case, each time an executable program in your email executed, each time it needed a capability, you the user would be asked whether to grant that capability or not.

		If the problem is combinations of caapbilities, such as a G.711 and H.261, then H.323 allows you specify groups of legal combinations.
		Ih short, when initiating a call, the problem is avoided by only offering capabilities that you are prepared to accept.
		We don't normally recommend using the phrases "simple" and "changing capabilities" in the same sentence :) In short, there is no simple way to do it - it is usually only done when an endpoint wants to shutdown and restart a media channel.

	Defense Horizons No. 26
		The Department would merge under one roof the capability to identify and assess current and future threats to the homeland, map those threats against our current vulnerabilities, issue timely warnings and immediately take or effect appropriate preventive and protective action.
		Deepwater is critical to ensuring the Coast Guard has the capabilities it needs to stop threats to our homeland before they arrive and the effective response capability to deal with maritime security needs.
		Joint capabilities can clearly emerge from this, and without common buses, the U.S. goal of having a global sensor system to detect various ballistic and cruise missile worldwide would be even more complicated.

	Assessing Your Organization's Innovation Capabilities -- Clayton M. Christensen full-text article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The organizations just didn't have the capability to react to what their employees and leaders saw, in a way that enabled them to keep pace with required changes.
		The reasons why innovation often seems to be so difficult for established firms is that they employ highly capable people and then set them to work within processes and values that weren't designed to facilitate success with the task at hand.
		Ensuring that capable people are ensconced in capable organizations is a major management responsibility in an age such as ours, when the ability to cope with accelerating change has become so critical..

		The first step in determining the capabilities of the browser making a request to your Web site is to find out what kind of browser it is. Inside the payload sent in the HTTP Headers is the User Agent string, which describes the browser making the request.
		The browser capabilities object examines %windir%\System32\inetsrv\browscap.ini to match the User Agent string to a specific section in the.ini file, which describes the well-known capabilities of that browser.
		Determining the mobile capabilities of a device is a mere type cast away from the normal device capabilities.

	W3C Workshop on Constraints and Capabilities for Web Services
		Many such aspects are typically associated with a number of orthogonal problem domains; for example, it may be desirable to describe constraints and capabilities (also, "policy") regarding security, reliable messaging and message serialization for a particular endpoint.
		This Workshop is being held to discuss the establishment of a framework for the expression of such constraints and capabilities and their association with Web services, in order to promote their interoperability and scalability.
		Such constraints and capabilities might be associated with the Web service via a SOAP header or a WSDL file.

	IMM Reports No. 7
		These capabilities -- which I will lump together under the heading of reflexive capabilities -- are an essential part of a complete technological base for molecular manufacturing.
		Reflexive capabilities are, if anything, more important to this goal than the ability, by itself, to manipulate matter at the molecular scale.
		So as the processing capabilities increase, the robot factories would tend to become more productive, not only in terms of their end output but also in terms of building more factories.

	Capabilities for elf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This can not hurt: lowering capabilities is not priviledged operation, and executable could do it itself at beggining of main.
		Doing it in exec() time has certain advantages, through: you can easily look and what capabilities are in use by what program and you can set capabilities for existing executables without need to recompile.
		With elfcap, ping still will be setuid0, but most of its capabilities (and its euid) will be dropped at exec() time, so breaking into ping will allow attacker to generate arbitrary packets to network, but nothing more.

	Yolanda Gil and Jim Blythe: How can a structured representation of capabilities help in planning? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In order to support a wide range of planning-related activities, we argue that plan and action representations must move to a more expressive language for goals and capabilities than is found in most current systems.
		A structured representation for capabilities can make explicit a hierarchy of capabilities based on subsumption, which results in benefits for reasoning, representing, and acquiring operators and plans.
		We present a structured representation of capabilities and a subsumption-based matcher for it.

	JEP-0115: Entity Capabilities
		The application MUST NOT append a capabilities annotation to later messages unless its capabilities have changed (e.g., the value of the 'ext' has changed as described above) and MUST NOT send the annotation to entities from which it has received presence.
		Also, an application MUST NOT send the capabilities annotation to entities which are in a user's roster (or equivalent entity store, as in a gateway) with subscription='both' or subscription='to' (since presence would have been received from these entities if they were online).
		If capabilities information has not been received from another entity, an application MUST assume that the other entity does not support capabilities.
