The Paperless(?) Office
.... news?
2. Are certain types of information more readily amenable to digital
processing in a paperless office than others? If so, why; if not, why not?
It would seem that some types of information are better in paperless
form, while some are not. Implementing an e-mail system can do wonders for
companies. The e-mail sessions allow managers to get more information across to
the employees and vice versa. This is a way to make sure everyone will access
to the same information. A paperless office is a good way to send and receive
reports.
Another area that is conducive to a paperless office is such companies
that put large v .....

Past, Present, And Future Of Computers
.... equation. Soon, a
silk weaver wanted to make very intricate designs. The designs were stored on
punch-cards which could be fed into the loom in order to produce the designs
requested. This is an odd beginning for the most powerful invention in the
world.
In the 1930's, a man named Konrad Zuse started to make his own type of
computer. Out of his works, he made several good advances in the world of
computing. First, he developed the binary coding system. This was a base two
system which allowed computers to read information with either a 1 or a 0. This
is the same as an on or and off. The on or off functions could be .....

A Tour Of The Pentium Pro Processor Microarchitecture
.... work per pipestage for more stages. The Pentium Pro processor reduced its
pipestage time by 33 percent, compared with a Pentium processor, which means the
Pentium Pro processor can have a 33% higher clock speed than a Pentium processor
and still be equally easy to produce from a semiconductor manufacturing process
(i.e., transistor speed) perspective.
The Pentium processor's superscalar microarchitecture, with its ability to
execute two instructions per clock, would be difficult to exceed without a new
approach. The new approach used by the Pentium Pro processor removes the
constraint of linear instruction sequencing b .....

Piracy

They can study and learn from the advancements with in the programming.
So what does all this activity tell us? This tells us the people are
willing to go to great lengths to get software at a lower cost, or possibly in
exchange for other software and that they are succeeding in their efforts.
Although more than 50% of their software income is from other companies which do
not pirate, this poses a problem for the software industries. By fining a
single bulletin board out of the thousands in North .....

Polymorphic & Cloning Computer Viruses
.... it stores data. Because of the severity of the damage that these viruses may
cause, it is important to understand how anti-virus programs go about detecting
them and how the virus itself adapts to meet the ever changing conditions of a
computer. In much the same way as animals, computer viruses live in complex
environments. In this case, the computer acts as a form of ecosystem in which
the virus functions. In order for someone to adequately understand how and why
the virus adapts itself, it must first be shown how the environment is
constantly changing and how the virus can interact and deal with these changes.
There are many fo .....

Internet Pornography: Freedom Of Press Or Dangerous Influence?
.... and researcher, gives many statistics showing
that presence of pornography on the Internet is not necessarily a bad thing. He
gives one example that shows that "47% of the 11,000" most popular searches on
the Internet are targeted to pornography. This fact shows that pornography has
given the Internet approximately half of its clientele (2). Without this, the
Internet would hardly be the global market that it is today. Most on the
Internet are not merely the for pornography either. It is just a part-time
activity while not attending to serious matters.
At another point in his paper, Burton cites reasons why the Internet is

2. BASICS
In our paper you will find the following technical terms:
¥ terrestrial broadcasting: this is the basic technology used to broadcast radio
and TV. It«s the use of radio-frequencies that can be received by a simple
antenna. The problem by using terrestrial broadcasting is, that you only have a
few (up to max. 7) possible frequencies and that you need to have expensive
transmitters every 100-150 kms to cover an area.
Programms which are broadcasted terrestrical are e.g.: .....

Procedures, Parameters & Sub-Programs
.... to modify. When repeated actions are replaced by one
procedure call, it becomes much easier to modify the code at a later stage, and
also correct any errors. By building up the program in a modular fashion via
procedures it becomes much easier to update and replace sections of the program
at a later date, if all the code for the specific section is in a particular
module.
Programs take less time to compile. Replacing a sequence of statements with
once simple procedure call usually reduces the compilation time of the program,
so long as the program contains more than one reference to the procedure!
Object programs require l .....

Propaganda In The Online Free Speech Campaign

speak out for free speech on the Internet, and all of these groups have utilized
the Internet to spread propaganda to further this common cause of online free
speech and opposition to the CDA.
Context in which the propaganda occurs
Five years ago, most people had never heard of the Internet, but today the
Internet is a term familiar to most people even if they are not exactly sure
about what the Internet is. Along with the concept of the Internet, it is
widely known that pornography and other adult related materials seem to be
readily available on the Internet .....

Protecting A Computer

customer's account to his own account. Nonetheless, the most dangerous thief
are not those who work with computer every day, but youthful amateurs who
experiment at night --- the hackers.
The term "hacker "may have originated at M.I.T. as students' jargon for
classmates who labored nights in the computer lab. In the beginning, hackers are
not so dangerous at all. They just stole computer time from the university.
However, in the early 1980s, hackers became a group of criminals who steal
information from other peoples' computer.
For preventing the hackers and other cri .....

Quality Issues In System Development
.... streamlined business
processes. Unfortunately, not every system that information workers develop are
well implemented; this means that the computer system which was originally
intended to make a company more efficient, productive and cost-effective, is in
the end doing the exact opposite - namely, wasting time, money and valuable
manpower. So even with all the lessons learned from the 70's and 80's, our
vastly superior methodologies and knowledge of the 90's is still proving to be
fallible, as suggested in the following examples.
System Development Failures
In Britain, 1993, an incident occurred which forced the London
