.... together all the different kinds of information available on the Internet.
Berners-Lee called the software pack the World Wide Web.
For the World Wide Web to work, each page has it’s own address that the web recognizes using a system called HTTP (Hypertext Transport Protocol). Each page has to be written with a special language called HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). This language tells the computer how to display a page.
Now with the invention of the web, Businesses can use pictures to help sell their merchandise online, And now that the Internet is everywhere- in schools, libraries, and even cafes – anyone can order ju .....

The Growing Popularity Of Computers
.... of where they are or what device they are using -- whether it's a palm-size computer, a Web-enabled cell phone, an Auto PC or a smart television like WebTV. A combination of sophisticated software, powerful microprocessors, wireless technology and high-bandwidth connectivity is starting to make that a reality.
For most people at home and at work, the PC will remain the primary computing tool; you'll still want a big screen and a keyboard to balance your investment portfolio, write a letter to Aunt Agnes, view complex Web pages, and you'll need plenty of local processing power for graphics, games and so on. But the PC will .....

All About Disk Geometry And The 1024 Cylinder Limit For Disks.
.... 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 that the boot loader and the BIOS must agree .....

Maglev Consequences
.... flights. With the maglev vehicles the shorter trips excluding access
time can be cut a lot. With a study of 16 major corridors of travel, less than
300 miles in length, they studied how well the maglev vehicles could help, and
in 10 out of the 16 the time could be cut at least slightly. Also the cost of
a maglev trip will be less so that even with the longer trips where the maglev
vehicles don't have the time advantage they will have the cost advantage.
Because land is costly and scarce, adding more highway lanes and
building new airports in or near our larger cities is becoming increasingly
difficult. For exa .....

Satellites

machines whose sunward side may be 300 degress hotter than the shaded part.
Once a satellite achieves orbit--that delicate condition in which the pull of
earth's gravity is matched by the outward fling of the crafts speed--subtle
pressures make it go astray. Solar flares make the satellite go out of orbit.
Wisps of outer atmosphere drag its speed. Like strands of spiderweb, gravity
feilds of the earth, moon, and sun tug at the orbiting spacefarer. Even the
sunshine's soft caress exerts a gentle nudge.
Should a satellite begin to wander, ground crews .....

Internet Access: Flat Fee Vs. Pay-Per-Use
.... things we weren't looking for. (Indeed,
Thomas Kuhn makes the claim that, even in the hard sciences, real breakthroughs
and interesting discoveries only come from following these unconventional routes
[Kuhn, Thomas, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Chicago: University of
Chicago Press, 1962]).
And people who have to pay each time they use a piece of information are
likely to increasingly rely upon specialists and experts. For example, in a
situation where the reader will have to pay to read each paragraph of background
on Bosnia, s/he is more likely to rely upon State Department summaries instead
of paying to become mo .....

Before repairs, Shark provides you with the ability to prove existing
damage. This information is good to the vehicle owner and insurance company
because it not only explains the cost of repair, but eliminates unnecessary work
and surprises.
During the straightening procedure, Shark will monitor selected
underbody and upperbody reference points. Shark then calculates deviations from
the manufactures specifications. You can view the whole pulling process, as it
happens, live on the colored monitor. When the job is complete, you may command
Shark to store or print a report in a variety of for .....

The Anti-Trust Case Against Microsoft

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 system installed on it or not. After the settlement .....

Technological Development And The Third World

humans, plants and animals inhabit, but also the physical, emotional and
psychological attitudes that are encompassed by these in their daily existence.
Development, by my definition, will consequently refer to the technological
advancement of a community as well as the improved status of humans and other
species. This is my definition, and one that others employ frequently now.
However, the model I will be examining first is the development theory based on
the economic - political system. "A typical western (read: economic) definition
of development would be ' an ambiguous term for a multidimensional pro .....
