By having these security standards on your browser, it allows the transaction information being sent back and forth from the reseller to be encrypted. Most computers already come with this browser pre-installed. If this is not the case, to obtain one of the most popular brands of browsers, you can download them from the Internet at no cost. The creation of Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) standard has involved the efforts of many people. All of the work done for SET has been done in an open sourced proce .....

.... car stereo businesses(Kelly, 58). Small shops along with big ones are popping up all over taking advantage of the publics new interest in car stereo. “Our biggest customers are the youth. They come in here, have what they want already picked out and then shell out 1000 to 2000 dollars without any questions,” stated Steve Frame, a local car stereo store manager(Frame,Interview). Along with the youth, adults are becoming more and more interested in quality sound. They have formed leagues and competitions to show off their stereos and cars. To be entered in one of these leagues, a person must know much about the technic .....

.... The Internet can help businesses in number of extraordinary ways. First, the Internet is an excellent way to make business information available to possible consumers. Say a person hears about a product that your business produces and would like to know more information about that product.

Included in the web site found, there could be many documents, pictures, small movie flicks, and unique question and answer sections available. All of this can be gathered in the convenience of a person's home, twen .....

.... capacity • small physical size • relative low cost The speed at which information can be moved through the fiber optic cable is also an important advantage. AT&T established an experimental fiber optic system that moves digital information at a speed of 8 gigabits (8 billion bits) per second over a 68-mile stretch of repeaterless fiber optic cable. One gigabit per second is fast enough to support 15,000 voice circuits. The growth of fiber optics has other features that make it valuable to future telecommunications. Since the light wave transmission is enclosed, it is not bothered by atmospheric conditions that affect wire .....

.... about whether to keep himself alive. "What is the point of prolonging a person's biological life if it is obtained at the cost of a serious assault on that person's liberty?" There is probably no simple answer for this question. Any patient's decision should be respected, not based on the fact of all available technologies. This medical technology has the potential for both good and bad results. However, it is very important in today's society. "Insurance in the Genes" is a piece of valuable material which explores another area in the technological field. Nowadays, genetic engineering essentially plays an important role. Genetic .....

.... privacy to beocme seriously jeopardized by new information technologies. Richard A. Spinello, has defined two distinct phases to the systematic erosion of information privacy. The first he calls the 'data base phase'. The emergence of sophisticatd data base technology in the early eighties made it possible to store and retrieve large amounts of information efficiently and economically. During this time, considerable amounts of personal data were transfered to computerized records, which have been stored on record. Another implicator in the invasion of privacy has been what is described as a 'network .....

.... of computers used to transmit all types of data between computers. Text, numbers, programs, illustrations, photographs, audio, animation, and video can all be transmitted over the Internet. Contrary to what some people may think, the Internet is not a single computer nor is it a single service. The Internet is not owned by or governed by anyone. It exists solely through the support of the companies and institutions that access it. Though the Internet seems relatively new, its roots actually start in the 1960s. In 1969, the Department of Defense started the “ARPANET” project. ARPANET was a decentralized computer network that .....

.... to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice moved quickly, with Anne K. Bingaman, head of the Antitrust Division of the DOJ, leading the way.(Check 1) The case was finally ended on July 15, 1994, with Microsoft signing a consent settlement.(Check 1) The settlement focused on Microsoft's selling practices with computer manufacturers. Up until now, Microsoft would sell MS-DOS and Microsoft's other operating systems to original equipment manufacturers (OEM's) at a 60% discount if that OEM agreed to pay a royalty to Microsoft for every single computer that they sold (Check 2) regardless if it had a Microsoft operating sy .....

.... from the first disk (or from floppy), and jumps to the code found there - usually some bootstrap loader.These small bootstrap programs found there typically have no own disk drivers and use BIOS services.This means that a Linux kernel can only be booted when it is entirely located within the first 1024 cylinders. This problem is very easily solved: make sure that the kernel (and perhaps other files used during bootup, such as LILO map files) are located on a partition that is entirely contained in the first 1024 cylinders of a disk that the BIOS can access - probably this means the first or second disk. Another point is th .....

.... for the precision cutting of hardwood, softwood, with the grain, against the grain, and even raked out the unwanted sawdust. These saws differed in the layout of the teeth. Instead of the jawbone patter the teeth were placed in a "left-right-angled" pattern, to rake the sawdust, and were placed at different distances depending on the substance being cut. As these handsaws progressed and continued to make the job of the wood worker less difficult logger began to take interest in the idea of a saw. This led to the invention of the large two-handled tree saw, which replaced the ax. This saw was made so that two men operated it, .....
