.... of computers world-wide. It not only affects calculations for interest rates, inventories, or insurance policies, but every major aspect of our modern economic infrastructure. Government agencies, businesses, and financial institutions use software applications that contain date computation functions. The following types of organizations would be affected: utilities, transportation, manufacturing, banking, finance, defense, education, healthcare, and government agencies. Should the computer systems of these organizations fail, have you ever stopped to think of the economic effects this may have on our modern economies? The .....

.... bulb filament through a short bundle. However the unclad fibers transmitted the images poorly, and the rise of the Nazis forced Lamm, a Jew, to move to the USA and give up his dream of becoming a professor of medicine. A lot of things have changed since then. Fiber optics has come along way, and it is being used a lot more. is now made so that it transmits light waves through one destination to another, and we all know that the speed of light is the fastest speed of all. People can log into networks and communicate and send data faster than ever. It is also a lot more reliable than any other cables used for networks today. Th .....

.... peer-to-peer communications network that broadcasts information for all stations to receive. As a consequence, it does not inherently provide privacy. The LAN enables stations to communicate directly using a common physical medium on a point-to-point basis without any intermediate switching node being required. There is always need for an access sublayer in order to arbitrate to access to the shared medium. The network is generally owned, used, and operated by a single organization. This is in contrast to Wide Area Networks (WANs) that interconnect communication facilities in different parts of a country or are used as a publi .....

.... facilities, food & farming, defense, transportation, hospitals & emergency service, power, banking, law enforcement, communications, fuel, and government are all things in question. Experts have testified before banking subcommittees that any major firm that has not already completed its assessment can not hope to become Y2K compliant by January 1, 2000. None of the utilities that were surveyed were assured after making inquiries that their suppliers, venders, and servicers would be Y2K compliant. Utilities are highly dependent on servicers, suppliers, and other upstream activities to transmit, and distribute gas and electr .....

.... in the consumer video market since it's relapse only a year ago. DVD is DVD, which stands for Digital Video Disc, Digital Versatile Disc, or nothing, depending on whom you ask, is the next generation of optical disc storage technology. It's essentially a bigger, faster CD that can hold video as well as audio and computer data. DVD aims to encompass home entertainment, computers, and business information with a single digital format, eventually replacing audio CD, videotape, laserdisc, CD-ROM, and perhaps even video game cartridges. DVD has widespread support from all major electronics companies, all major computer hardware compani .....

.... causes the prices of software to increase, thus increasing the price the public must pay for the programs. Companies reason that if they have a program that can be copied onto a disc then they will lose a certain amount of their profit. People will copy it and give to friends or pass it around on the Internet. To compensate, they will raise the price of disc programs. CD Rom programs cost more to make but are about the same price as disc games. Companies don't loose money on them because it is difficult to copy a CD Rom and impossible to transmit over the Internet (Facts on File #28599 1). One company in particular, Ameri .....

.... and tries hard to figure out how they work. A Cracker has malicious intent, a hacker may or may not intend to commit an act of fraud. It is possible to be a hacker and a cracker at the same time. Crackers like to break into systems for the pure joy of destroying. Some hackers have decided to help system administrators either make their system more secure or catch a person who has committed a computer crime. This is where I fit in I anonymously help others find security leaks and help them seal them.I look for bugs in software that must be fixed, test different methods of cracking codes or just give pointers on how to keep the p .....

.... is a set of instructions to the C.P.U. from a source such as a floppy disk, a hard drive or a CD - ROM drive, in zillions of 1's and 0's. Each of these tiny little instructions makes up a bit. Then they assemble to form a byte. Bytes make up a program, which you run to use the computer's various applications. Now that you know more about computers than Einstein did, let me tell you something more about them, so that you will beat the President in the field of computing. In your computer, you require a good amount of RAM, which is there to randomly accesses memory. That is required to speed up your computer, so that it gives you m .....

.... the control module, counter module, filter control module and 8-bit D/A. The D/A chosen is the DAC0801LCN. It’s specifications can be found in the appendix. The layout of this design is shown below. The interconnections will be discussed later but the thickness of the lines indicates the number of bits in the bus lines. As the name suggests the control module takes user inputs, processes them and sends them out to the respective modules. The functionality module generates the count, varying between 0 to 255 in 256 steps or in 64 steps. The 8-bit D/A changes this count into a wave and the filter selector mod .....

.... This study focuses on academic research in neural network technology . This study was funded by the Banking Commission in its effort to deter fraud. Overview Recently, the thrust of studies into practical applications for artificial intelligence have focused on exploiting the expectations of both expert systems and neural network computers. In the artificial intelligence community, the proponents of expert systems have approached the challenge of simulating intelligence differently than their counterpart proponents of neural networks. Expert systems contain the coded knowledge of a human expert in a field; this knowledge .....
