History Of The Intel Corporation
.... in the early 70's. From
1969 to 1970 Intel's revenues went up by almost four-million dollars! Today,
Intel is one of the biggest companies pulling in billions and billions of
dollars each year.
Intel has had many factors over the years that has allowed it to
monopolize the computer industry thus resulting in small competition. First of
all, Intel is almost 25 years ahead of it's competitors. Therefore, most
companies are just starting out and have little or no effect on Intel's sales.

The History Of Computers
.... was quite a step to be taken
by a computer because until then, the only thing a computer could do was add.
The computer multiplied by successive adding and shifting (Guides 45).
Perhaps the first actual computer was made by Charles Babbage. He
explains himself rather well with the following quote:
"One evening I was sitting in the rooms of the Analytical Society at
Cambridge with a table full of logarithms lying open before me. Another member
coming into the room, and seeing me half asleep c .....

With a background of system design in real-time communications and text

internet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing. while
working at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory. He spent two years
with Plessey elecommunications Ltd a major UK Telecom equipment manufacturer,

Modernising the weapons used in war has been an issue since the beginning.
Nowadays, the military has spent billions of dollars perfecting stealth
technology to allow planes to slip past enemy lines undetected. The technology
involved in a complicated system such as these fighter planes is immense. The
older planes are packed with high tech gear such as micro processors, laser
guiding devices, electromagnetic jammer .....

nuclear war? The Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency, ARPA, had a
solution. They would create a non-centralized network that linked from city to
city, and base to base. The network was designed to function when parts of it
were destroyed. The network could not have a center because it would be a
primary target for enemies. In 1969, ARPANET was created, named after its
original Pentagon sponsor. There were four supercomputer stations, called nodes,
on this high speed netw .....

The History Of The Internet
.... a network of computers without one central
main authoritative unit (Sterling 1) The Rand Corporation working along side the
U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) devised a plan. The network
itself would be considered unreliable at all times; therefore it would never
become too dependable and powerful. Each computer on the network or node would
have its own authority to originate, pass, and receive messages. The name given
to this network was the ARPANET.
To fully understand the ARPANET, a .....

Foundation's idea such as the universities sending electronic mail (today, it is
understood as Email). The United States government then helped pushed the
evolution of the Internet, calling the project: Information Super Highway
(Groiler..).
In the early 1990's the trend then boomed. Businesses soon connected to
the Internet, and started using the Internet as a way of saving money through
advertising products and electronic mail .....

The Necessity Of Computer Security
.... applications of computers are vast. They are used to run ordinary
household appliances such as televisions and microwaves, to being tools in the
workplaces through word processing, spreadsheets, and graphics software, to
running monumental tasks such as being the heart and soul of the nations tax
processing department, and managing the project timetables of the Space Shuttle.
It is obvious that the computer is now and always will be inexorably linked to
our lives, and we have no choice but to accept th .....

be the company library, or a common area under a bright window. It could even be
the dining room or Student Union, which houses punching bags, televisions and a
pool table. Wherever he goes, a network forwards mail and phone pages to him and
a computer routes calls, faxes and E-mail messages to his assigned extension. He
simply logs onto the firm's computer system and accesses his se .....

could be executed quickly after the plans of a single master architect.
Roman concrete was a fluid mixture of lime and small stones poured into
the hollow centers of walls faced with brick or stone and over curved wooden
molds, or forms, to span spaces as vaults. The Mediterranean is an active
volcanic region, and a spongy, light, tightly adhering stone called pozzolana
was used to produce a concrete that was both light and extr .....

tip for people who play with the older AMI BIOSes with the XCMOS setup. It
allows changes directly to the chip registers with very little technical
explanation.
A Typical BIOS POST Sequence
Most BIOS POST sequences occur along four stages:
1. Display some basic information about the video card like its brand,
video BIOS version and video memory available.
2. Display the BIOS version and copyright notice in upper middle screen.
You will see a large sequence of numbers at t .....

The Telephone System
.... The sound waves hit the diaphragm causing the electrical resistance of
the carbon to vary. The electret transmitter is composed of a thin disk of
metal-coated plastic held above a thicker, hollow metal disk. This plastic disk
is electrically charged, and creates an electric field. The sound waves from
the caller's voice cause the plastic disk to vibrate, changing the distance
between the disks, thus changing the intensity of the electric field. These
variations are translated into an electric c .....

however, are the enormous cost of s descent system and software and the
technology that moves at lightning speed. The computer you buy tomorrow will
not be able to handle any of the new software two years from now. Owners must
not only keep up with the new trends but must also be well aware of what their
own system can sustain so that they do not overload it and cause it to crash.

Truth And Lies About The Computer Virus

potentially harmful is that the anti-virus companies could write viruses in

about viruses. "Antivirus firms tend to count even the most insignificant
variations of viruses for advertising purposes. When the Marijuana virus first
appeared, for example, it contained the word "legalise," but a miscreant later
modified it to read "legalize." Any program which detects the original .....
