When executives at Google went looking for Wall Street investment bankers to underwrite the company’s massive initial public offering, they laid down strict terms of engagement: bring us new ideas on how to sell the deal to investors and save the usual political gamesmanship. But with such a huge payday at stake--an estimated $100 million in fees for handling the offering--would you expect all the big firms to play by the Google rules Of course not. Just ask Goldman Sachs.
To win a chunk of the Google business, Goldman, the nation’s premier investment bank, set free its CEO, Hank Paulson, to pull some strings. Paulson is one of Wall Street’s best "call men", who can wave a Palm PDA full of connections when it’s crunch time to bring home a deal. But News week has learned that Paulson tried to sidestep Google’s orders by reaching out to one of Google’s largest investors, Kleiner Perkins, the powerful venture-capital firm that was an early Google backer. The move helped doom Goldman’s efforts to win the lead underwriting spot, which went instead to Credit Suisse First Boston and Morgan Stanley.
Paulson thought his best shot was John Doerr, one of Kleiner’s top partners. Bad move. When word of Paulson’s misstep got back to Google’s top executives, Goldman was quickly bumped from the top of the short list. "The people at Google were such enthusiasts about the rules," said one executive who works at a rival Wall Street firm. "When they heard about this, they went ape." None of the parties involved--Google, Goldman Sachs or Doerr--would comment.
The two winners, CSFB and Morgan Stanley, managed to keep a low profile. John Mack, CSFB’s famously well-connected chief executive, purposely stayed out of the bidding process for fear that he might tip the scales to another player, people with knowledge of the matter say. Meanwhile, new rules for Wall Street research analysts appear to have prevented Mary Meeker, Morgan Stanley’s top Internet analyst, from playing a direct role, even though she and Doerr have done business together for years.
Goldman, meanwhile, can’t blame its loss just on Paulson. People close to the deal say bankers for the firm bragged to Google about the Goldman name, and didn’t generate enough ideas about how to sell shares to investors through an auction. "Their lack of marketing wit may have hurt them more than Paulson," said the executive from a rival firm. Sometimes, it really does pay to play by the rules.

A:they should not unleashed its CEO to pull some strings. B:they should always play by the rules. C:Paulson is not the right person to lead the bank. D:it's vital to have good perception in marketing.

As mentioned above, C imposes relatively few built - in ways of doing things on the program- mer. Some common tasks, such as manipulating （1） ,  （2）, and doing （3）  (I/O), are performed by calling on library functions. Other tasks which you might want to do, such as creating or listing directories, or interacting with a mouse, or displaying windows or other  （4） elements, or doing color graphics, are not defined by the C language at all. You can do these things from a C program, of course, but you will be calling on services which are peculiar to your programming environment （5）, processor, and operating system) and which are not defined by the C standard. Since this course is about portable C programming, it will also be steering clear of facilities not provided in all C environments.

The presentation layer is concerned with the（1） and semantics of the information exchanged between two systems. The processes in two systems are usually exchanginginformation in the form of character（2）numbers, and so on. The information should bechanged to bit （3） before being transmitted. Because different encoding systems, thepresentation layer is responsible for （4）between these different encoding methods. Thepresentation layer at the sender changes the information from its sender-dependent format into acommon format. The presentation layer at the receiving machine changes the common format intoits （5） dependent format.

One ofthe main resposibilities of ICMP is to report(1).Although technology has produced increasingly relaible transmission media, errors still exist and must be handled. IP is an (2) protocol. This means that error checking and error control are not a concern of IP. ICMP was designed, in part, to compensate for this shortcoming. Howerver, ICMP does not (3) errors, it simply report them. Error correction is left to the higher-level potocols. Error messages are always sent to the original (4) because the only information available in the datagram about the route is the source and destination IP addresses. ICMP use the source IP address to sent the error massage to the source of the (5).
