.... the light around the home with the pipes. In 1888, Medical team, Roth and Reuss of Vienna used bent glass rods to illuminate the bodies' cavities. In 1895, french engineer Henry Saint-Rene designed a system of bent glass rods for guiding light images in an attempt at early television. In 1898, American David Smith applied for a patent on a bent glass rod device to be used as a surgical lamp. In the 1920's, Englishmen John Logie Baird and American Clarence W. Hansell patented the idea of using arrays of transparent rods to transmit images for television and facsimiles respectively. In 1930, German medical student, Heinrich Lamm was the first p .....

.... new field, and the legal establishment has yet to reach broad agreement on may key issues. Advances in computer security law have been impeded by the reluctance on the part of lawyers and judges to grapple with the technical side of computer security issues[1]. This problem could be mitigated by involving technical computer security professional in the development of computer security law and public policy. This paper is meant to help bridge to gap between technical and legal computer security communities. II. THE TECHNOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE A. The Objectives of Computer Security The principal objective of computer security is to protect and .....

.... the Altair really served no real purpose. This left computer-lovers still yearning for the ³perfect² PC...actually, it didn¹t have to be perfect, most ³nerds² just wanted their computer to do SOMETHING. The burning need for a PC was met in 1977, when Apple, a company formed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, released it¹s Apple II. Now the nerds were satisfied, but that wasn¹t enough. In order to catapult the PC in to a big-time product, Apple needed to make it marketable to the average Joe. This was made possible by Visical, the home spread sheet. The Apple II was now a true-blue product. In order to compete with Apple¹s success, .....

.... on the other end of the lime was incorrect. To Prevent this from happening, a parity check system was developed. Each character is represented by a byte consisting of a combination of intelligence bits (seven bits in ASCII and eight bits in EBCDIC) and an additional bit called a check or parity bit. Even parity codes place a check bit with each byte that contains an uneven number of 1 bits. (Remember that a bit is either 1 or o). Because the check bit is transmitted only with characters composed of an uneven number of 1 bits,all characters transmitted will have n even number of 1 bits. The check bit is transmitted to and from the computer .....

.... extremely competitive business environment businesses are searching for ways to improve profitability and to maintain their position in the marketplace. As competition becomes more intense the formula for success becomes more difficult. Two particular things have greatly aided companies in their quests to accomplish these goals. They are the innovative software products of CAD/CAM and, last but not least, the World Wide Web. An important program has aided companies all over the world. Computer- aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) is the integration of two technologies. It has often been called the new industrial revoluti .....

.... through interlocking computer networks, and a person several thousand miles away from home can obtain quick cash from a machine at any hour of the day or night. A person with a degree in computer engineering has many options for a career. Many colleges offer electrical engineering curricula and computer engineering may be an offshoot. The University of Delaware describes a person with a degree in electrical engineering as a "generalist," with computer engineers as "specialists" who spend their time focusing on computer architecture and compiler design (University of Delaware / which_degree.html). Massachusetts Institute of Technology, considered .....

.... become a bad influence. You should have a heavy persuasion on the content. Letting your child watch television for more than two hours without any breaks, can also be harmful. Pick shows that exercise their brain and keep them awake and interested; the more involvement, the more they learn and remember. If your child watches a certain show daily, sit down once a week and watch the show with them. Your interest in the show will also be a supporting guide for their growing minds, influencing them for the future. AT&T has categorized television programs in a way that enables you to view children rated programs all together. A kid pushes a button o .....

.... chip. This attitude of 'father knows best' fostered by Intel created an uproar among users and owners of the defective chips. Six weeks after Mr. Nicely went public, IBM, a major purchaser of Pentium chips, stopped all shipments of computers containing the defective Pentium chips. Intel's stock dropped 5% following this bold move by IBM. IBM's main contention was that it puts its customers first, and Intel was failing to do this. Intel's handling of this defective chip situation gives rise to many questions. During the course of this paper I will address several of them. The first of which is how did a company with such a stellar reputa .....

.... satellites' part of the Global Positioning system (GPS), Reconnaissance Satellites, and finally Telecommunications Satellites. The Global Positioning System provides users with accurate information about their latitude, longitude, velocity and altitude, as well as the time, anywhere in the world and works in all weather conditions. The GPS was initiated in 1973 by Navstar in the United States and then followed by the Soviet Union with their own GPS. Both GPS systems are free to use by anyone around the world and offers great benefits to the military, commercial companies and civilian residents. On the military side, the U.S. Air Force uses the GPS .....

.... bled over for the past 200 years. Almost three years ago, Congress approved the Communications Decency Act, (CDA) which "was designed to protect children by prohibiting "indecent" speech or images from being sent through cyberspace."(Quittner) This law seems somewhat harmless at a first glance until you begin to read some of its clauses. One of the biggest groups that combated this issue was the CIEC, or Citizens Internet Empowerment Coalition. The CIEC soon began to find problems with this bill as the so maticulously stated on their web site "It is also important to note that the CDA is not about child pornography, obscenity, or using the Intern .....
