Software Piracy: A Big Crime With Big Consequences
.... 'free of charge.' Mr. LaMacchia was caught by the authorities and was
acquitted of this piracy due to the lack of legal standards for this crime.
Another example is off local bulletin board systems. Many are run out of the
offenders homes with just a phone line, a computer and a modem. Here members of
this service can send and receive pirated software (otherwise known as 'warez')
as their own pace and leisure. There are not just one or two of these bulletin
boards around there are in fact many. Most reside in large cities and the
offenders are in most cases minors. As the computer gains a more stable hold on
our society .....

Software Piracy And It's Effects
.... and they have the right to protect their
properties.
Understanding of the IT background of the Issue
Software is contained on disc or on a CD-ROM. Pirates copy can easily be made of
Software on disc by copying from one disc to another disc. For CD-ROM one needs
a CD-ROM burner or one copies the content onto a large hard disc and then on to
a floppy disc. There are some underground bulletin boards ( BBS ) that contain
pirate software. A user who logs on to one of these BBS can download Full
version of Pirate Software provided one too can give something in return. On
the Internet there are binary Newsgroup such as alt.binarie .....

Solving Problem Creatively Over The Net
.... data crash, I lost all my data. I lost all my e-mail
address and most importantly my browser.The computer technician managed to
repair my PC but he gave me an old version of Netscape.I have trouble using it
in Win'95.So I downloaded the later version of Netscape.The downloading seize
when it reaches 52%. I had to reload if I were to use Netscape.Instead I used
MIRC to download the program because MIRC come with this neat feature that allow
me to resume downloading where I left out. As a result, I get to continue my
downloading at 17564 byte from a friend.

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 testing can predict a person's biological use-by .....

How Technology Effects Modern America
.... I wonder if these trends are
good or bad for society. "The danger of the information age is that while in
the short run it may be cheaper to replace workers with technology, in the long
run it is potentially self-destructive because there will not be enough
purchasing power to grow the economy," M. B. Zuckerman. My feeling is that the
trend from unskilled labor to highly technical, skilled labor is a good one!
But, political action must be taken to ensure that this societal evolution is
beneficial to all of us. "Back in 1970, a high school diploma could still be a
ticket to the middle income bracket, a nice car in the driv .....

The only prblem I find with sytems like the SEGA, NINTENDO, and 3DO is the lack
of variety. When PC's became sensible in the home there was really no
comparison exept in the price. 2,000$ for a PC or 300$ for a 3DO the difference
is quite clear. I hope that this essay has been informative.

Telecommuting
.... job lend itself well to telecommuting? Some
jobs, obviously, can't be accomplished using a telecommuting format. Does the
employee have a good track record for working unsupervised? This relates back
to readiness levels. An employee who isn't performing at a high readiness level
should not even be considered as a candidate for telecommuting. All of these
questions and many more must be answered on a case by case basis.
This particular venture into creative scheduling has its ups and downs as
well from an employee's point of view. It can be quite a bed of roses for both
employee and employer. A lot of nice smells an .....

Telecommunications
.... or a
communications-satellite linkage, or some combination of any of these various
systems.
Hardware and Software
Each telecommunications device uses hardware, which connects a device to the
transmission line; and software, which makes it possible for a device to
transmit information through the line.
Hardware
Hardware usually consists of a transmitter and a cable interface, or, if the
telephone is used as a transmission line, a modulator/demodulator, or modem. A
transmitter prepares information for transmission by converting it from a form
that the device uses (such as a clustered or parallel arrangement of electronic

Telecommunication
.... two states, on or off. This
limitation was eliminated by the fact that it was the duration of the connection
that determined the dot and dash from each other being short and long
respectively. From these combinations of dots and dashes the Morse code was
formed. The code included all the letters of the English alphabet, all the
numbers and several punctuation marks. A variation to the telegraph was a
receiving module that Morse had invented. The module consisted of a
mechanically operated pencil and a roll of paper. When a message was received
the pencil would draw the corresponding dashes and dots on the paper to be

The Telephone
.... The
handset is usually made out of plastic and inside it are two main components:
the transmitter and the receiver.
THE TRANSMITTER
It is the job of the transmitter to turn the air pressure created by
your sound waves to electrical signals so they can be sent to the other
telephone. The waves hit a thin skin called the diaphragm that is physically
connected to a reservoir of carbon granules. When the pressure hits the
diaphragm, it shakes up the carbon granules. Then the carbon expands and
contracts, depending on what force is exerted. At two points on the outer shell
of the reservoir of the carbon are two outlets of electricit .....
