... of porn after the Internet came about. They did not charge people to down load picture and to interact with others. In result, Internet porn grew (Rosen 16). Things have changed drastically since then with over a million different sites available to access porn. Now it is not just for adults. 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 compu ...
... flight. At the same time, the Germans were designing there own jet engine and aircraft which would be one of the factors that kept Germany alive in World War II. With technological advances by the allies a prototype turbojet known as the "Heinkel He 178" came into a few operational squadrons in the German, British, and the American air forces towards the end of World War II. These jets finally helped the allies to win the war against the axis powers(Smith 23-27). A later development in the jet industry was the overcoming of the sound barrier and establishing normal operations up to and beyond twice the speed of sound. Also air force bombers and trans ...
... one-third the weight of steel. „h Aluminium and most of its alloys are highly resistant to most forms of corrosion. The metal's natural coating of aluminium oxide provides a highly effective barrier to the effects of air, temperature, moisture and chemical attack. „h Aluminium is a superb conductor of electricity. This property allied with other intrinsic qualities has ensured the replacement of copper by aluminium in many situations. „h Aluminium is non-magnetic and non-combustible, properties invaluable in advanced industries such as electronics or in offshore structures. „h Aluminium is non-toxic and impervious, qualities that have established its u ...
... of the Internet is its protection of free speech, not only in America, but in other countries where free speech is not protected by a constitution. To be found on the Internet is a huge collection of obscene graphics, Anarchists' cookbooks and countless other things that offend some people. With over 30 million Internet users in the U.S. alone (only 3 million of which surf the net from home), everything is bound to offend someone. The newest wave of laws floating through law making bodies around the world threatens to stifle this area of spontaneity. Recently, Congress has been considering passing laws that will make it a crime punishable by jail to s ...
... to accept technical challenges."(Shannon, 16:2) "It is tempting to liken computer criminals to other criminals, ascribing characteristics somehow different from 'normal' individuals, but that is not the case."(Sharp, 18:3) It is believed that the computer criminal "often marches to the same drum as the potential victim but follows and unanticipated path."(Blumenthal, 1:2) There is no actual profile of a computer criminal because they range from young teens to elders, from black to white, from short to tall. Definitions of computer crime has changed over the years as the users and misusers of computers have expanded into new areas. "When computers wer ...
... ballon dirigible, it could be steered and could also be flown against the wind. TYPES OF AIRSHIP Two basic types of airship have been developed: the rigid airship, the shape of which is fixed by its internal structure; and the nonrigid blimp, which depends on the pressure created by a series of air diaphragms inside its gas space to maintain the shape of its fabric hull. Inventors sought to combine the best features of these models in a semirigid type, but it met with only limited success. Today only the nonrigid airship is used. Rigid Airship The rigid airship's structure resembled a cage that enclosed a series of balloons called gas cells. These cells we ...
... possible. Microprocessors are made of many smaller components which all work together to make the chip work. A really good analogy for the way the inner workings of a chip operate can be found in How Microprocessors Work. In their book, Wyant and Hammerstrom describe a microprocessor as a factory and all of the inner workings of the chip as the various parts of a factory (Wyant and Hammerstrom, 71-103). Basically a microprocessor can be seen as a factory because like a factory it is sent something and is told what to do with it. The microprocessor factory processes information. This most basic unit of this information is the bit. A bit is simply on or off. It is ei ...
... as fast as a 50MHz 486. Entertainment has always been an important aspect of human society. From the time when Romans would watch warriors battle in a coliseum, to the creation of the coliseum movie theatre on Macleod Trail, entertainment has been an integral part of human existence. With the development of the computer, the creation of a vast number of entertaining opportunities has materialized. Games, for example, serve as a powerful mind entrancing form of entertainment. Civilization, Leisure Suit Larry, Warcraft, Quake, Doom95 and Command & Conquer are just a few games that bring hours of entertainment to the magician. With use of a sound blaste ...
... Internet is like a huge mall in the middle of the Sahara desert," Phillip says. "Once you get there, which is the first hurdle, all the competitors are lined up together, one next to the other. So where do you go? You gravitate towards the brand names you already know -- the biggies." While Web site affordability has made it easier for companies like Phillip's to establish an Internet presence, the same is true for his competitors. Hence, a glut of small to medium-sized florists camp out on the Internet and fight to draw consumer attention to themselves and away from deep-pocketed and more recognizable competitors such as FTD and 800 Flowers. "There are now so m ...
... and its many wonderful game titles. Also, we plan to conclusively prove that the Dreamcast makes it 33 percent less likely you'll ever walk for six hours with a piece of broccoli stuck in your teeth, or toilet paper on your shoe. But you knew that already. While screen shots from PlayStation2 titles filter in from Japan, we are all, of course, duly impressed. No one will doubt the power of Sony's newest behemoth, or the sheer beauty of its games. Titles such as Ridge Racer V, Tekken Tag Tournament,Dead or Alive 2, Dark Cloud, Gran Turismo 2000 and Onimusha are graphical masterpieces -- but then, so are games on the DC. Thes PlayStation2 titles are, by no mean ...
