.... more than one million dollars worth of software 'free of charge.' Mr. LaMacchia was caught by the authorities and was acquitted of this piracy due to the lack of legal standards for this crime. Another example is off local bulletin board systems. Many are run out of the offenders homes with just a phone line, a computer and a modem. Here members of this service can send and receive pirated software (otherwise known as 'warez') as their own pace and leisure. There are not just one or two of these bulletin boards around there are in fact many. Most reside in large cities and the offenders are in most cases minors. As the compu .....

.... 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 store up to 1000 50-digit numbers. Built in to his machine were operations that included everything a modern general-purpose computer would need. It was programmed by--and stored data on--cards with holes punched in them, appropriately called “punchcards”. His inventions were failures for the most part because of the lack of precision machin .....

.... point is that she was not exposed to a computer as everyday life. Now she is really behind so to speak in the computing world. Computers back then were huge, they were usually stored in wharehouses. The earlier ones used paper with holes in them to give it instructions. Later the pre-PC's used tape cartridges to store data on. Then came along in 1979 the first real personal computer. Apple came out on the market with the Apple PC. Two years later IBM came out with their version of the personal computer. When IBM came out with their computer they were now in the PC market. Apple's biggest mistake was not to make MS-DOS their operati .....

.... criterion one must use in evaluating the effectiveness of a website, is sometimes debatable. The author of a website can be anyone. It can be ones next door neighbour, someone whom was met last week at a bar or a world renowned open heart surgeon who was on television just three days ago. Before beginning to delve into a site, make sure that authorship meets one of two sub-criterion: if reviewing a site in ones own general area of expertise, be certain that the author is a trusted and well recognized name in the field; or, if visiting a site by an author one is unfamiliar with, make sure that there is either bibliographic inf .....

.... school. Women also started working, they were very obedient and men started giving them more respect. Along with positive, were also negative. Most people worked twelve to fourteen hours a day, six days a week, they had to pay constant attention to the machines and risked losing limbs in the machines. Child labor was another problem, they usually worked from 6 am to 7 p.m., getting paid only 10 percent wages of men to children. They would be severely beaten, and usually was deformed from machines. Many working-class children were not able to attend schools, because they couldn't afford clothes. Women usually spent long .....

The Constitution of the United Stat es of America declares that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redr ess of grievances" 12 Therefore it would be unconstitutional for any sort of censorship to occur on the Internet and affiliated services. Despite the illegality, restrictions on Internet access and content are increasing worldwide under all .....

.... fail without affecting any other node on the network. Its weakness, however, is that failure of the central computer results in a shutdown of the entire network. And because each node is individually wired to the hub, cabling costs can be high.Ring networkRing Network, in computer science, a local area network in which devices (nodes) are connected in a closed loop, or ring. Messages in a ring network pass in one direction, from node to node. As a message travels around the ring, each node examines the destination address attached to the message. If the address is the same as the address assigned to the node, the node accepts the .....

.... them out of malice, but far more people are just meeting a challenge in software design. The people who make anti-virus software have much more to benefit from the creation of new virii. This is not a slam, just an observation. A common type of virus would be a Trojan Horse, or a destructive program disguised as a game, a utility, or an application. When run, a Trojan Horse does something devious to the computer system while appearing to do something useful (Microsoft Encarta, 1996). A Worm is also a popular type of virus. A worm is a program that spreads itself across computers, usually by spawning copies of itself in each com .....

.... that could add and multiply. In 1812, computer developments had risen in Cambridge, England. Charles Babbage wanted to develop a machine that would operate the long computations to be able to operate automatically. He then devised an automatic calculating machine, which he named a "difference engine". By 1822, he had constructed a small working model for demonstrations. In 1823, he started construction of a full-scale "difference engine". It was designed to be steam powered, fully automatic and was to be comanded by a fixed instruction programer. Babbaged worked on the "full-scale difference engine" for 10 years, but in 1833, he .....
