.... be left with a pretty good idea of your position. Better yet, take a cut from a third DME transmitter and draw a third circle on your chart. Now you'd have three intersecting circles and your position would be inside the little triangle formed by the intersection of the three circles. Got the picture? This is basically how GPS triangulates, except that instead of circles, we're dealing with intersecting spheres. TIMING IS EVERYTHING Think of GPS satellites as floating DME stations. They move along in orbit and that complicates things but forget about that for the moment. How can we measure distance? The satellites in the GPS are .....

.... Information Sickness\" in the following terms: If information was once considered the solid ground, the \"factual\" basis, on which to make decisions and take actions, it no longer seems to be so. Indeed, information no longer seems to be solid at all. Not only does it not provide a grounding, a foundation, from which to see, know, or act, it comes to be seen as obscuring our vision, our attempts at knowledge, our ability to control the forces of the world. Information, it might be argued, has become precisely what \"all that is solid\" melts into. Information flows; it spreads; it dissolves all boundaries, all attempts .....

.... in billions and billions of dollars each year. Intel has had many factors over the years that has allowed it to monopolize the computer industry thus resulting in small competition. First of all, Intel is almost 25 years ahead of it's competitors. Therefore, most companies are just starting out and have little or no effect on Intel's sales. Another reason is obviously Intel's reputation. They have built up such a standard of excellence that when someone hears the word Intel they think high- quality. Intel's popularity, reputation, and revenues are a direct result of their marketing strategies. Again, one of the most importa .....

.... ATTRIBUTES 1 TO 4. HOW DOES A VIRUS SPREAD: A computer virus can only be put into your system either by yourself or someone else. One way in which a virus can be put into your computer is via a Trojan Horse. -TROJAN HORSE IS USUALLY CONTAMINATED IN DISKS WHICH ARE PARTICULARY PIRATED COPIES OF SOFTWARE. IT IS SIMPLY A DAMAGING PROGRAM DISGUISED AS AN INNOCENT ONE. MANY VIRUSES MAYBE HIDDEN IN IT, BUT T.H. THEMSELVES DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO REPLICATE. Viruses also can be spread through a Wide Area network (WAN) or a Local Area Network (LAN) by te .....

.... by computer tapes. Putting in knowledge would take less time than reading books and memorizing something that would take almost no time using a computer in the futuristic world that Asimov describes. Humans might began to rely on computers and allow them to control themselves by letting computers educate people. Computers would start teaching humans what computers tell them without having any choice of creativity. Computers would start to control humans' lives and make humans become too dependent on the computers. Another point that is criticized by Asimov is the fact that people might take their knowledge for granted allo .....

.... 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 books, personal records and articles. Bush(1945) wrote about a hypothetical "memex" system which he described as a mechanical library that would allow a user to view stored information from several different access points and look at several items simultaneously. His ideas are well known as the basis for hypertext and mputers for their operations. The first appeare .....

.... or radio, the Internet consists of thousands of individual computers and networks, with thousands of speakers, information providers and information users, and no centralized distribution point (ACLU vs. Reno Brief 1). No guards watch to see who goes where and if that place is appropriate. The Internet has grown to be a global network. Just because one country deems something inappropriate does not mean that another will comply with the decision and follow the ruling. If posting pictures of bestiality was banned in China, for example, someone in Switzerland could post those pictures and the Chinese would have access to ever .....

.... Software companies have and do distort the truth about viruses. "Antivirus firms tend to count even the most insignificant variations of viruses for advertising purposes. When the Marijuana virus first appeared, for example, it contained the word "legalise," but a miscreant later modified it to read "legalize." Any program which detects the original virus can detect the version with one letter changed -- but antivirus companies often count them as "two" viruses. These obscure differentiations quickly add up." http://www.kumite.com/myths/myth005.htm Incidentally the Marijuana virus is also called the "Stoned" virus there by maki .....

.... analytical, design and leadership skills an asset. The salary of a project leader varies occasionally, but in this case it is an important position, earning $60 000 - 70 000 annually. Systems Administrator Systems Administrator is responsible for administering overall system needs in a business (in this case, the College). Some requirements include: - A degree in computer science or technical college diploma in a related discipline. - 2 years or more experience in database design. - Two years experience in a Novell / DOS environment. - Knowledge of overall PC hardware .....

.... called IP (Internet Protocol), which enabled traffic to be routed from one net to another as needed. All the networks connected by IP in the Internet speak IP, so they can all exchange messages." (Levine 12) Even though there were only two networks at that time, IP was made to allow thousands of networks. The IP is designed so that every computer on an IP network is compatible. That means any machine can communicate with any other machine. The Internet, also called the Net, is the world's largest computer network. The Internet is the "network of all networks." (Levine 7) The networks are connected to big companies like AT&T, .....
