... has ability to reproduce and infect other programs. Is a computer virus similar to a human virus? Below is a chart that will show the similarities. Comparing Biological Viruses & Human Viruses Human Virus Effects Attack specific body cells' Modify the genetic information of a cell other than previous one. It performs tasks. New viruses grow in the infected cell itself. An infected program may not exhibit symptoms for a while. Not all cells with which the virus contact are infected. Viruses can mutate and thus cannot clearly be diagnosed. Infected cells aren't infected more than once by the same cell. Computer Virus Effects Attack specific programs (*.com ...

"Hackers" are computer aficionados who "break in" to corporate and government computer systems using their home computer and a telephone modem. The prevalence of the problem has been dramatized by the media and enforcement agents, and evidenced by the rise of specialized private security firms to confront ...
... .8 to Mach .9 and the maximum speed is Mach 1 at 36,000 ft. The range of the Nighthawk is unlimited with air refueling from another plane. The engines of the Nighthawk are two 12,500lb. General Electric F404-F1D2 non-afterburning turbofan engines with 10,600 lbs. of thrust. The Nighthawk’s armament is a non-fixed internal weapons carriage and the primary weapons on the Nighthawk are the paveway series GBU-10 and GBU-27 laser guided bombs. There is usually one person to fly the Nighthawk and the cost to build each Nighthawk is around 45 million dollars. The United States Air Force has produced 59 Nighthawks with the help of Lockheed’s "Skunkworks." ...
... Manufacturers have been trying to make a passenger side airbag disconnecting switch built into the dashboard. This mechanism can be used like an ignition switch: just insert a key and turn the key and the airbag will deactivate. Car owners have also had the airbag flat out removed from the car. Car buyers also just plain avoid buying cars with a passenger side airbag. Seatbelts, however, cannot be avoided. In the state of Pennsylvania it is illegal to ride in an automobile without wearing a seatbelt, yet we still do not wear them because they are uncomfortable. We don't think about what can and will happen if we don't wear them. Seatbelts should be ...

It is also impossible to ban all things that are prohibited in a country. For instant, some countries, such as Germany, have considered taking measures against the U.S. and other companies or individuals that have created or distributed offensive material on the Internet. If the United States government really wanted to censor the net, there is only one solution - shut down all network links of other countries. But of course that would mean no Internet access for the whole country and that is disgust by the w ...
... If you want to learn how to create files or advanced techniques to use files, you have to know more about the files' structure. The file extension is the most important thing you must know in order to download files and to use the files. There are many types of file extensions on the Internet. They represent different standards and formats to create the files. Different file extensions need different ways to transfer and to display or play. I have prepared a comprehensive but not exhausted List of File Extensions for you. You can always consult this list to find out what a file ex< "nsion mcans and how to use a file with a particular type of extension. Ascii and B ...
... The Industrial Revolution of the late nineteenth century brought the discoveries of the Bronze and Iron Ages to new heights, and the advent of the locomotive, automobiles, cargo ships and airplanes were the most evident by-products of such raw materials. Use of these by-products from the earth's raw materials dramatically changed the world of business and trade. With the subsequent invention of wire communications (i.e., tapping out Morse code and speaking over telephone lines), business and trade grew exponentially. Wireless communications via the inventions of radio, television, and motion pictures contributed greatly to the advances of the Industr ...
... The use in the headend of these devices has been important in reducing the cost of fiber systems by allowing a single laser to be shared among multiple receivers. The smallest, final span of cable, called the drop, is the portion of the network that runs between the last place where the signal is split to the home of the subscriber. at this time, the drop portion of the network is exclusively coaxial cable; however, cable operators and equipment vendors alike are exploring ways to make fiber an economic alternative to coax. Cable TV operators are evaluating a variety of new services, among the most promising are: alternative access, personal communi ...
... dollar gloves, MUDs require no such hardware. They are, however, a form of virtual reality, "because they construct enduring places, objects, and user identities. These objects have characteristics that define and constrain how users can interact with them," (Holmes & Dishman, 1994, p. 6). Having been created in their most rudimentary form nearly two decades ago, the technology that supports MUD interaction is well developed and has spawned a new variety of communicative environment, one that thousands if not millions of users have found fiercely compelling. Since MUDs are generally restricted to text-based interaction (some support ANSI codes, and the graphical ...
... different systems. On one wall, there were Nintendo's games, on another, were Sega's games, and on the last, were Sony's games. Surprisingly, Nintendo's new games didn't look much different than the other two companies'. On three corners of the room, there were television sets displaying the latest and greatest games for each popular console. While watching these new games, I was in awe. When I was younger, I remembered playing what those times considered, "high tech" video games. During those years, the games had little blocky characters who looked more like a blob than a human being. The music wasn't even music at all. It was more of a bunch of b ...
