.... and the CU themselves, they all have a different understanding or levels of comprehention, this paper attempts to show the differences between the views as well as attempt to correct misunderstandings that may have been propagated by misinformed sources. The differences between the parties of the CU such as, "hackers," "crackers," "phreaks," "pirates," and virus writers have rarely been recognized and some deny that there are differences thus this paper attempts to give a somewhat clearer view and define exactly what each party is and does as well as how they relate to one another. Every individual in the CU has a differe .....

.... put the virus into the network and investigate whether or not there was any malice intended. One computer application that is becoming more widely used and, therefore, more widely abused, is the use of electronic mail or email. In the present day, illegal hackers can read email going through a server fairly easily. Email consists of not only personal transactions, but business and financial transactions. There are not many encryption procedures out for email yet. As Gates describes, soon email encryption will become a regular addition to email just as a hard disk drive has become a regular addition to a computer (Gates .....

.... have also had the airbag flat out removed from the car. Car buyers also just plain avoid buying cars with a passenger side airbag. Seatbelts, however, cannot be avoided. In the state of Pennsylvania it is illegal to ride in an automobile without wearing a seatbelt, yet we still do not wear them because they are uncomfortable. We don't think about what can and will happen if we don't wear them. Seatbelts should be worn at all times. On school buses that seat more than 24, however, seatbelts are not present. They should be!!! Even though the seats are high and they look like they will stop someone from flying forward, the p .....

.... accomplished through the use or knowledge of computer technology. Computers are objects of crime when they or their contents are damaged, as when terrorists attack computer centres with explosives or gasoline, or when a "computer virus" a program capable of altering or erasing computer memory is introduced into a computer system. Personal Computer A personal computer is a computer that is based on a microprocessor, a small semiconductor chip that performs the operations of a c.p.u. Personal computers are single-user machines, whereas larger computers generally have multiple users. Personal computers have many uses such .....

.... operating system and they chose the name UNIX. Their initial goal was simply to operate their DEC PDP machines more effectively. In 1971, UNIX became multi-user and multi-tasking, but it was still just being developed by a small group of programmers who were trying to take advantage of the machines they had at hand. (In other words, this operating system that they were developing did not run on any machine made by Bell!) In 1973, Dennis Ritchie rewrote the UNIX operating system in C (a language he had developed.) And in 1975, the portability of the C programming language was used to "port" UNIX to a wide variety of hardware platf .....

.... Imagine the ability to send and receive data: messages, notes, letters, documents, pictures, video, sound- just about any form of communication, as effortlessly as making a phone call. It is easy to understand why the Internet is rapidly becoming the corporate communications medium. Using the mouse on your computer, the familiar point-and-click functionality gives you access to electronic mail for sending and receiving data, and file transfer for copying files from one computer to another. Telnet services allow you to establish connections with systems on the other side of the world as if they were just next door. This flood .....

.... raw materials. Use of these by-products from the earth's raw materials dramatically changed the world of business and trade. With the subsequent invention of wire communications (i.e., tapping out Morse code and speaking over telephone lines), business and trade grew exponentially. Wireless communications via the inventions of radio, television, and motion pictures contributed greatly to the advances of the Industrial Revolution. The need to find better ways of doing business to keep the marketplace fresh and innovative has driven the human race toward the brink of a new eraCthe Information Age. Unlike more tangible qualitie .....

.... paper to hit the newsstands’(Bergeen 3). The television was invented on the heels of radio. ‘In 1920 the first primitive TV’s were born, however the media did not become persuasive until the 1950’s when they became more affordable’(Strate 2). They soon replaced the radio as the media form of choice. The newest and currently most controversial form of mass media and communication is the Internet. ‘The Internet has linked sources of information around the world and with the progress made in telecommunications and personal computing, these information sites have become accessible to the common man’(Bergreen 10). We live .....

.... to a brand I thought that this is true for so many different things such as cars skiies and just about any thing eles. After the first observation the reat were very clear to how it was going to be and then I did a interview. This is how it went. Finding Out More What brand of snowmachine do you ride and why this brand? I ride a skidoo summit 670 the reason is that I got a very good deal on this machine and so far it has been very good. Why do you snowmachine? The reasone that I snowmachine is that I work in the summer and do not have much time to do anything and in the winter I have all the time that I need. Another reas .....

.... one of the Rand thinkers on the project, conceived the idea for a new kind of communications network that wasn't organized point-to-point, but instead was set up more like a fishnet. He believed this structure could allow information to find its own path through the network even if a section had been destroyed. His eleven-volume report for the Pentagon was eventually shelved, but younger engineers realized that he had hit on an essential idea. Although Baran's ideas were overlooked at that time, it later influenced the design used to create a small, decentralized network connecting computers at four university campuses around th .....
