.... However, it all started with one network. In the early 1960's the Cold War was escalating and the United States Government was faced with a problem. How could the country communicate after a nuclear war? The Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency, ARPA, had a solution. They would create a non-centralized network that linked from city to city, and base to base. The network was designed to function when parts of it were destroyed. The network could not have a center because it would be a primary target for enemies. In 1969, ARPANET was created, named after its original Pentagon sponsor. There were four supercomputer station .....

.... systems often consider purchasing a computer network, and justify its purchase by applying it to routine administrative tasks, such as attendance records and grading. While these tasks are very important, they only show a small part of what technology can do for a school. Technology must go further than simply keeping attendance; it must focus on keeping students interested and productive. Since computers and the Internet have expanded in such a way in which education can be delivered to students, it is currently possible to engage in "distance education through the Internet. Distance education involves audio and video links between teachers and stu .....

.... my first computer, I have grasped the concepts quickly and with ease. But the computer as well as I will never stop growing. I have introduced myself to all topics of word processing to surfing the web. After reviewing a number of resources, I have noticed a relatively high demand for technologically integrated hardware and software positions available with companies that wish to compete with the demand for “networking�. (“Computer Scientists� 95) This leads me to believe that future employment prospects will be high and of high quality pay within the next eight to ten years. The past, present, and future have and will see the com .....

.... Telecommunication System (UMTS), the third generation of mobile networks, is presently being specified as part of the European RACE technology initiative. The aim of UMTS is to implement terminal mobility and personal mobility within its systems, providing a single world mobile standard. Outside Europe, UMTS is now known as International Mobile Telecommunications 2000 (IMT2000), which replaces its previous name of Future Public Land Mobile Telecommunication System (FPLMTS). [BUIT95] UMTS is envisaged as providing the infrastructure needed to support a wide range of multimedia digital services, or teleservices [CHEU94], requiring channel bit- rates .....

.... they had hoped it did not stop them from continuing on. Later on IBM teamed up with Microsoft to create an operating system to run their new computers, because their software division was not able to meet a deadline. They also teamed up with Intel to supply its chips for the first IBM personal computer. When the personal computer hit the market it was a major hit and IBM became a strong power in electronic computers. Phoenix Technologies went through published documentation to figure out the internal operating system (BIOS) in the IBM. In turn, they designed a BIOS of their own which could be used with IBM computers. It stood up in courts and no .....

.... as a novice Internet user, it is easy for you to understand the file formats by its extension. If you want to learn how to create files or advanced techniques to use files, you have to know more about the files' structure. The file extension is the most important thing you must know in order to download files and to use the files. There are many types of file extensions on the Internet. They represent different standards and formats to create the files. Different file extensions need different ways to transfer and to display or play. I have prepared a comprehensive but not exhausted List of File Extensions for you. You can always consult this li .....

.... some from the Macintosh interface and has improved on it. Some improvements are the ability to work with folder icons that represent directories and subdirectories in DOS. Windows 95, unlike the Mac, logically groups data and resources. A Taskbar menu lets you call up and switch between any software application at any time. Thus feature is better than the Mac's because its use is more obvious. It clearly shows what is running and allows you to switch programs with a single click of the mouse. Control panels have been added so you can configure your hardware. There is easy access to frequently used files. You can make very long file names on Windows .....

.... can only run on Intel Based PCs). Because of this Linux has the potential to be more attractive to a larger number of users and a larger variety of users. (Linux.com) Linux has a powerful security system. It is almost impossible to write a virus for Linux because it must be 30-40 MB. Also, it has firewall system to protect the network from hackers. This minimizes the number of viruses capable of affecting a Linux system. If we think about it, there are many viruses for Windows that can harm your system. Linux is a stable Operating System. You can kill an individual process that is not replying with kill command vs. shutting down your syste .....

.... in the case, Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in the March of 1997. In a 7-2 decision handed down on June 26, 1997, the Court upheld the lower court's ruling and struck down the decency act. The Supreme Court stated that the act was not only vague but that it unconstitutionally restricted the free speech rights of adults. An estimated of 40% of Internet material originates from foreign countries, where the US's Decency Act would not apply. Governments should not have the power to determine what sort of material is fit or unfit for individuals and their children to access on the Internet. Such power could become an oppressiv .....

.... easily copied. Copied software does not make money for its creators, and thus they charge more for whats not copied, and the whole industry inflates. There are two categories of intellectual property. The first one is composed of writing, music, and films,which are covered by copyright. Inventions and innovations are covered by patent. These two categories have covered for years many kinds of work with little or no conflict. Unfortunately, it is not that easy when dealing with such a complex matter as computer software. When something is typed on a computer, it is considered writting, as it is all written words and numbers. However, when executed by t .....
