... Millennium bug. The Y2K problem has to deal with how computers keep track of the date. In almost every system before 1995 the date that the computer kept was abbreviated. An example would be that 1951 would be abbreviated as 51. So, as a result, computers will read 00 and think it's 1900 and not 2000. This seemingly small problem will result in a loss of most records and information kept in computers causing a major headache for government agencies and major businesses, not to mention all home owners and other people. Gina Smith writes in a August 1998 issue of Popular Science about the fixing of the problem "You are probably wondering why the problem is so hart to ...

... to improve our lives. Fatal diseases like AIDS or cancer could possibly be eliminated and deformities and problems such as sickle cell anemia and Down Syndrome may become obsolete. The trickiest part of is trying to regulate it. Writing restrictions proves difficult. For example, if the law states that may only be used for ethical and positive purposes what may be ethical and positive to one may not be to another. So, specific restrictions must be made on the uses; such as, it must only be used on a life threatening disease or life altering problem. However, even these restrictions could be used to ones discretion, obstacles such as these are problematic a ...

... you must give an ending tag. The only difference between the beginning tag and the ending tag is that a slash must be used with the ending tag. All tags must be surrounded by angle blankets. With the knowledge of the tags and proper combination of the tags, you can create a web page, as you desire. Now let's start creating a web page. The very first thing you need to put into your HTML document is a tag, it identifies the entire document as an HTML document. The next thing you will do is to create a header. An HTML document can be roughly divided into two sections: header and body. Header is where you display information about your web page, like its tit ...

... use throughout the several professions revolutionized numerous aspects of Western European Society. The first important use of came in 1776. was used to show the Cornish miners how successful it could be in removing the water from the mineshafts. This proved to be of great importance to the Cornish, because one of their biggest problems was the flooding of the mining shafts. (The Penetration of the Industry by Steam Power) The mine owners “worried…that the mines would have to be shut down unless water could be pumped out of the shafts.” “The engine successfully raised water from the bottom of deep mines.” (Siegel, 17) This saved the shutting d ...

... of operation which would be greatly improved. The first of the improvements would be the elimination of paper communication. The need to transfer large drawings using mylars would cease to be, thus helping provide a paper less environment. Another improvement as a result of CAD would be that of achieving much tighter tolerances in building new products. Using a CAD system, part designs could be received in an electronic format such as a math model. These models are currently in use by customers such as GM, BMW and Mercedes. The effect of having math models of all new products would enable a quicker turnaround in both quoting and production of products. CA ...

... 2000 years ago. It is simply a wooden rack holding parallel wires on which beads are strung. When these beads are moved along the wire according to "programming" rules that the user must memorize, all ordinary arithmetic operations can be performed (Soma, 14). The next innovation in computers took place in 1694 when Blaise Pascal invented the first "digital calculating machine". It could only add numbers and they had to be entered by turning dials. It was designed to help Pascal's father who was a tax collector (Soma, 32). In the early 1800's, a mathematics professor named Charles Babbage designed an automatic calculation machine. It was steam powered and could s ...

... from the resourceful use of materials, to careful consideration of function, climate, and location. The concepts about can generally be organized into several areas of application. These areas include sustainability, materials, energy efficiency, land use, and waste reduction. Green buildings are not only designed for present use, but consideration is also been given to future uses as well. An adaptable structure can be "recycled" many times over the course of its useful life. If specific technical issues prevent use of the building for a new function, then the materials used in its construction are designed to facilitate ease of recycling and reprocessing ...

... to dream up incredible uses for this technology including using it as a sort of drug. This became evident when, among other people, Timothy Leary became interested in VR. This has also worried some of the researchers who are trying to create very real applications for medical, space, physical, chemical, and entertainment uses among other things. In order to create this alternate reality, however, you need to find ways to create the illusion of reality with a piece of machinery known as the computer. This is done with several computer-user interfaces used to simulate the senses. Among these, are stereoscopic glasses to make t ...

... was developed in September 1983 as the first Office family application. The biggest invention in was Windows, a more user-friendly and more powerful operating system than MS-DOS. formed their headquarter in Redmond, Washington, In the same year, its stock went public and started at $21 per share. The updated version of Windows operating system went on sale in 1990 and five years later the complete makeover version named Windows 95 was launched. And now the much debated and controversial program called Windows 98 was launched last June. (Martin, et al., 1995) Why did the Windows 98 program become so controversial? Due to the fact that Windows program has b ...

... in a position of trust: few would do anything to harm another human, and most do not consider their crime to be truly dishonest. Most are males: women have tended to be accomplices, though of late they are becoming more aggressive. Computer Criminals tend to usually be "between the ages of 14-30, they are usually bright, eager, highly motivated, adventuresome, and willing to accept technical challenges."(Shannon, 16:2) "It is tempting to liken computer criminals to other criminals, ascribing characteristics somehow different from 'normal' individuals, but that is not the case."(Sharp, 18:3) It is believed that the computer criminal "often marches to the same dru ...
