Software Piracy
... restrictions you
try to enforce , there will always be another way . No matter what kind of
encryption there will always be someone out there , wether it be me or the next
guy , whose intelligence is greater then those who make the software .
According to the federal government , that by the way has no real
control over america since they can't even control themselves , software is
protected from the moment of its creation . As soon as that software hits the
store it is protected by the United States Federal Government . Yet , thousands
of software titles have been put out there , and the government hasn't protected
a fucking thing from happening . What a joke , ...

Computers 2
... life.
Computers have had a major effect upon business. One area deals with the advertising industry. It has completely re-arranged the advertising business. Before computers companies used to advertise only on magazines, billboards, and T.V. The internet has spawned a new world for advertising. If anyone has ever been on the Internet; they know that it is a major contributor to this. Instead of companies paying around 1 million dollars to advertise for a 30 second commercial during the Super Bowl;
they could just pay a certain amount to be advertised forever on the net. People can also notice the changes of advertising on the T.V., also. Not until the las ...

A Tour Of The Pentium Pro Processor Microarchitecture
... enabled the first Pentium Pro processor silicon to exceed the
original performance goal.
Building from an already high platform
The Pentium processor set an impressive performance standard with its pipelined,
superscalar microarchitecture. The Pentium processor's pipelined implementation
uses five stages to extract high throughput from the silicon - the Pentium Pro
processor moves to a decoupled, 12-stage, superpipelined implementation, trading
less work per pipestage for more stages. The Pentium Pro processor reduced its
pipestage time by 33 percent, compared with a Pentium processor, which means the
Pentium Pro processor can have a 33% higher clock speed th ...

Computer Crime
... environment in which frauds are programmed and
executed; an example is the transfer of money balances in accounts to
perpetrators' accounts for withdrawal. Computers are instruments of crime when
used to plan or control such criminal acts as complex embezzlements that might
occur over long periods of time, or when a computer operator uses a computer to
steal valuable information from an employer.
Computers have been used for most kinds of crime, including fraud, theft,
larceny, embezzlement, burglary, sabotage, espionage, murder, and forgery, since
the first cases were reported in 1958. One study of 1,500 computer crimes
established that most of them were comm ...

Brief History Of Library Automation: 1930-1996
... determine if a book was in, out or overdue.
These and many more examples of early ingenuity in library systems exist,
however, this paper will focus on the more recent computer automation beginning
in the early twentieth century.
The Beginnings of Library Automation: 1930-1960
It could be said that library automation development began in the 1930's
when punch card equipment was implemented for use in library circulation and
acquisitions. During the 30's and early 40's progress on computer systems was
slow which is not surprising, given the Depression and World War II. In 1945,
Vannevar Bush envisioned an automated system that would store information,
including bo ...

Response To AOL Controversy
... erols and so on. Using these services are less expensive than
America Online. Per month for unlimited use they average at around $10 to $15
dollars as opposed to AOL's hefty $19.95 a month. AOLers are paying for the
appealing menus, graphics and services AOL uses to drive their customers to the
internet. These same features can be located anywhere else on the net with the
aid of any search device, such as infoseek, yahoo, microsoft network or web-
crawler. These sites are no harder to use and they provide lots of helpful
menus and information.
In Wood's article, he states that he lives in Chicago, and AOL has
several different access numbers to tr ...

Virtual Reality
... simulator. Simulators have come a long way since 1929,
when Ed Link first built what was soon to be known as the pilot maker, or more
affectionately, the blue box. Students often find themselves sitting at the end
of a runway waiting for takeoff clearance on a busy day, with the engine turning
and burning expensive gas. This is not a very effective way for students to
spend money. Most students do not have access to expensive flight simulators.
Most have to travel hundreds of miles to take advantage of these amazing
simulators. Flight simulators are much better than an airplane for the simple
reason that in a simulator the learning environment is much safer. ...

Microprocessors
... practically a microprocessor is multitudinous transistors squeezed onto as
small a piece of silicon as possible to do math problems as fast as possible.
Microprocessors are made of many smaller components which all work
together to make the chip work. A really good analogy for the way the inner
workings of a chip operate can be found in How Microprocessors Work. In their
book, Wyant and Hammerstrom describe a microprocessor as a factory and all of
the inner workings of the chip as the various parts of a factory (Wyant and
Hammerstrom, 71-103). Basically a microprocessor can be seen as a factory
because like a factory it is sent something and is told what to ...

Air Bags
... Airbags are an automatic crash protection system that deploys quicker than the blink of an eye. Crash sensors, located on the front of the vehicle or in the passenger compartment, measure deceleration, the rate at which a vehicle slows down. When these sensors detect decelerations indicative of a crash severity that exposes the occupants to a high risk of injury, they send an electronic device that monitors the operational readiness of the air bag system whenever the vehicle ignition is turned on. These are designed to inflate in moderate-to-severe frontal and near-frontal crashes. They inflate when the crash froces are about equivalent to striking a bric ...
