Digital Cameras
.... on the spot, you save money buy getting rid of those unwanted pictures before they are processed.
For example: you could take a picture from 5 different angles, select the best one, and delete the rest.
Digital cameras all come with built-in memory that stores the photos you take until you can download the photos to your computer. When you buy one of the Digital’s you must make sure that the camera you are interested in has enough internal storage for your needs. For example: if you are going on vacation, you have to ensure your camera has enough capacity to last the entire trip. This may mean augmenting the st .....

Accounting Information Systems In A Changing Environment
.... to make an informed decision about whether to move to a computerised accounting system. We shall discuss the changing business environment and it’s impact on accounting information systems; computerised accounting systems and their cost; and the advantages of a computerised system.
2. The Changing Business Environment
THE ONLY CERTAINTY IN TODAY’S WORLD IS CHANGE
The world is growing smaller. Most markets are becoming unified across the world and this has created increased uncertainty. Along with these changes is a demographic explosion and dramatic changes in technology. According to Schutzer (1991: xiii) technology ac .....

Netscape’s Gecko: The Next-Generation Layout Engine
.... both HTML and XML documents. Gecko has been developed entirely under the Open source model at Mozilla.org. Developers are free advantage of the Gecko source code. The Open Source approach is used to encourage developers and anyone else for that matter to contribute their own strategies. The Article incorporates the idea that Gecko would be enjoyed by not only web browsers, but by application developers, web content developers and consumer electronic device manufacturers.
The engineering side of Gecko is quite complicated. The strategy in the development of Gecko was to make it as incremental as possible, seeing as though inc .....

The History And Development Of Computers
.... by creating a machine that could also multiply. Leibniz's mechanical multiplier worked by a system of gears and dials. By studying Pascal's original notes and drawings, Leibniz was able to refine his machine. It wasn't until 1820 that mechanical calculators gained widespread use. Charles Xavier Thomas de Colmar, a Frenchman, invented a machine that could perform the four basic arithmetic functions. Colmar's mechanical calculator, the arithometer, presented a more practical approach to computing because it could add, subtract, multiply and divide. Although later inventors refined Colmar's calculator, he helped define the .....

Why Y2K?
.... happen, someone is going to make some "wonder program" that will fix all the bugs" Well let me tell you something...There are over 500 programming languages, many in foreign languages. Other programs like BASIC and Cobol, are still being used, and those that know it are either Retired, Senile, or dead! In Some cases, the source code no longer exists, which means the language that some computers still use, cannot be gotten into, and repaired. Lets not forget that there are Millions of lines of Code, that the programmers have to go into, find each mistake, correct it, then test it to make sure it dont crash. According to programmers, .....

Censorship On The Internet
.... Children are accessing the obscene materials. This brings rise to issues of how to protect them from problems that can arise. The materials they view, could influence children. They could also be subjected to cybersex in a chat room full of people that could be three times their age. Worst of all pedophilias could influence children to meet with them outside of the computer. The government and the United States citizens must now figure out how to protect our children from the effects of cyberporn, and yet at the same time protect the adults from loosing their constitutional rights.
In response to the need to protect chi .....

The Evolution Of The Computer
.... dials. It was designed to help Pascal's father who was a tax collector (Soma, 32).
In the early 1800's, a mathematics professor named Charles Babbage designed an automatic calculation machine. It was steam powered and could store up to 1000 50-digit numbers. Built in to his machine were operations that included everything a modern general-purpose computer would need. It was programmed by--and stored data on--cards with holes punched in them, appropriately called "punch cards". His inventions were failures for the most part because of the lack of precision machining techniques used at the time and the lack of demand for such a .....

What Is A GDSS?
.... costs.
To provide a better view of what each of the three architectures of GDSS's can provide, a brief description of each follows:
The single-computer, software only system is the simplest and cheapest form of a GDSS. The system consists of a single computer running specialized GDSS software. The group involved in the decision making process can view all that is displayed on the screen and then assign weights to criteria or register comments regarding possible courses of action. In this type of system, the achievement of anonymous input is not realized but the other two functions of the GDSS can be well satisfied.

Censorship And The Internet

The Constitution of the United Stat es of America declares that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redr ess of grievances" 12
Therefore it would be unconstitutional for any sort of censorship to occur on the Internet and affiliated services. Despite the illegality, restrictions on Internet access and content are increasing worldwide under all forms of government. In France, a co untry w .....

The Future Of Fiber Optics On The Internet
.... optics into our daily lives, it will greatly improve the quality and speed of the information we receive.
With the growth of television and telephone traffic, bandwidth has become a large issue that is seemingly solved with the advent of fiber. Fiber Optics has enormous bandwidth and distance coverage as compared to copper wire. Commercial phone systems carry more conversations on fiber optics than copper could on thousand wires. As demand for more bandwidth increases, so does the demand for more fiber optics. As 90% of all long distance is fiber optic, only 50% of local communication, which will definitely change as soon as mo .....

GPS: The Future Of Navigation And Technology
.... Since prehistoric times, people have been trying to figure out a reliable way to tell where they are, to help guide them to where they are going, and to get them back home again. Cavemen probably used stones and twigs to mark a trail when they set out hunting for food. The earliest mariners followed the coast closely to keep from getting lost. When navigators first sailed into the open ocean, they discovered they could chart their course by following the stars. The ancient Phoenicians used the North Star to journey from Egypt and Crete. According to Homer, the goddess Athena told Odysseus to "keep the Great Bear on his le .....

Complete Car Stereo
.... shops along with big ones are popping up all over taking advantage of the publics new interest in car stereo. “Our biggest customers are the youth. They come in here, have what they want already picked out and then shell out 1000 to 2000 dollars without any questions,” stated Steve Frame, a local car stereo store manager(Frame,Interview). Along with the youth, adults are becoming more and more interested in quality sound. They have formed leagues and competitions to show off their stereos and cars.
To be entered in one of these leagues, a person must know much about the technical aspects of car stereo. An important fact .....
