Firewalls
... what Steve meant, yet Steve doesn't think he invented it.
What is a network firewall? A firewall is a system or group of systems that enforces an access control policy between two networks. The actual means by which this is accomplished varies widely, but in principle, the firewall can be thought of as a pair of mechanisms: one that exists to block traffic, and the other that exists to permit traffic. Some place a greater emphasis on blocking traffic, while others emphasize permitting traffic. Probably the most important thing to recognize about a firewall is that it implements an access control policy.
The Internet, like any other society, is plagued with the kin ...

Use Of Non-Lethal Weapons
... in everyday life. Another problem in our
society is violence such as riots and fights. These things can be
controlled with sticky foam, water cannons, or rubber bullets.
The main reason to choose tasers and new-age weapons over guns, is
the fact that they are non-lethal. Every year about 500 police officers are
killed by guns. This kind of death doesn't need to happen. In 1983, 10,895
people were killed by firearms. In 1973 over 100 innocent children were
killed by guns, and every year that number increases. So, if you would like
these numbers to drastically decrease, we must choose smarter, and non-
lethal weapons.
One other important reason to choose “new-a ...

Save The Internet
... censorship is the violation of the
first amendment and the suppression of freedom of speech but there is a point
where freedom of speech becomes corrupt; freedom of speech only creates an
excuse for the vile pornographers to poison our nation let alone our children.
Pornography is regarded as immoral and downright filthy by the people.
It denies human dignity and often stimulates the user to violent acts (Beahm
295). Therefore, pornography and violence are correlated. It trivializes the
human beauty and converts it into commercialized slime (Beahm 295). Moreover,
the consumption of pornography can lead to a detrimental addiction and the
consumer can become a slav ...

Computer Software Piracy And It's Impact On The International Economy
... The following research examines software piracy
in its various forms, its impact on the end user and the international industry
as a whole, and the progress that has been made in alleviating the problem.
Software piracy harms all software companies and ultimately, the end
user. Piracy results in higher prices for honest users, reduced levels of
support and delays in funding and development of new products, causing the
overall breadth and quality of software to suffer” ("What is...” Internet). Even
the users of unlawful copies suffer from their own illegal actions: they receive
no documentation, no customer support and no information about product updates

The Motor And How It Works
... because the current travels through solenoid 1 in an opposite direction of solenoid 4. The parts that make the motor spin are solenoids 2 and 3. When the current travels through the motor, it goes through the two metal pieces that send the current into whichever solenoid is touching it (solenoid 2 or 3). When part 5 spins, the direction of the current through 2 and 3 are reversed every time the motor spins half way around. The metal pieces touch the solenoids in just the right places to give solenoids 2 and 3 a magnetic field that attracts 1 and repels 4 and visa versa.
The end result is that as 2 or 3 approaches 1 or 4, it is given a magnetic field that is opp ...

The Arrival Of The Internet
... much worse than they really are. There are certain precautions one must take to avoid some of the dangers associated with the Internet. If these precautions are taken, the Internet should prove safe.
The Internet, simply put, is a bunch of computers that can communicate with one another via telephone lines, optical fibers, radio and satellite links. If one computer goes down the others are linked together to bypass the defective/destroyed computer and get the information to its destination. It's much like a spider web. You can cut many of the strands and it still hold together. This is how the phrase "World Wide Web" came into existence. The Internet has g ...

What Is A Computer
... fly jetliners. They mill steel, control rockets, advise farmers how and what crops to plant, bind books, and analyze population trends. Computers are even used to design and build faster and build faster computers.
Computers can be classified as analog or digital. Both types process data, but in different ways. Analog computers are best suited to solving problems in which several quantities vary continuously over a period of time, making exact answers difficult or impossible to obtain. Digital computers are capable of providing exact answers to problems.
The basic concept of a computer is very simple. A computer processes step by step, performing one operation at a ...

Electronic Monitoring Vs. Health Concerns
... the percentage (Privacy 445).
Unaware of this electronic monitoring, most employees often are not working at
their peak performance due to this type of scrutiny.
The majority of Americans believe that electronic monitoring should not
be allowed. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis states that of all of the
freedoms that Americans enjoy, privacy "is the right most valued by civilized
men (Privacy 441)." A poll taken by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman for Time, states
that ninety-five percent of Americans believe that electronic monitoring should
not be allowed (Privacy 444). Harriet Ternipsede, who is a travel agent, gave a
lengthy testimonial on how electronic ...

5 Modes Of Transportation
... runs. Different government agencies have
jurisdiction over the modes. These agencies focus on maintaining and improving
safety of each system. The individual states also have certain obligations to
the operation and regulation of the different modes of transportation.
Each mode is made up of primary subsystems. The subsystems of railroad
transportation include freight trains and passenger trains. Freight trains are
used to transport goods and materials between cities while passenger trains are
used to transport people. Although freight trains are still used all across the
nation, rail intercity freight has accounted for a decreasing share of the total
ton m ...

The Production, Characteristics And Use Of Aluminium And Its
... diverse range of properties (mechanical, physical etc.) exhibited by aluminium and its alloys:
„h A key property is low density. Aluminium is only one-third the weight of steel.
„h Aluminium and most of its alloys are highly resistant to most forms of corrosion. The metal's natural coating of aluminium oxide provides a highly effective barrier to the effects of air, temperature, moisture and chemical attack.
„h Aluminium is a superb conductor of electricity. This property allied with other intrinsic qualities has ensured the replacement of copper by aluminium in many situations.
„h Aluminium is non-magnetic and non-combustible, properties invaluable in advance ...
