It And Retailing
.... location is no longer of importance; in fact a business can be set up in someone’s home (if space for storage allows!). Also when considering mail order companies there is no longer the need to endure the costs of designing, printing and sending out catalogues. These factors contribute to e-commerce companies being able to offer products at greatly reduced prices as overheads have been minimised.
A company now has the ability to provide customers with a catalogue that has a far more extensive range .....

Linux Operating System
.... Windows requires at least 16Mb of ram (32Mb is recommended). Users that have limited systems can use Linux, whereas they could not use Windows. Linux has all the features that you should expect from an operating system. (Linux.org) (Using Linux)
The Internet features of Linux make it more popular. Linux was developed on the Internet so it has a wide support for Internet tools and protocols. Free e-mail software called Pine comes with Linux. It was developed at University of Washington and it has .....

Local Area Networks
.... of data networks in that they are optimized for a moderate size geographic area such as a single office building, warehouse, or a campus. The IEEE 802 LAN is a shared medium peer-to-peer communications network that broadcasts information for all stations to receive. As a consequence, it does not inherently provide privacy. The LAN enables stations to communicate directly using a common physical medium on a point-to-point basis without any intermediate switching node being required. There is always need .....

Media Influence
.... maybe they left their mother and father there. In my opinion, the problem is only one person. MILOSEVIC. The problem is him, not the others. He is the leader, he controls the country's media and its security forces, which lets him ignore or quell any apposition. It is ridiculous that the world still listening to him, and NATO try to finish the work. For me, NATO's attacked was on time and necessary , Muslim Albanians have right to live happy and comfortable in their home-land.

Multimedia
.... telecoms and computer companies, almost all of which have entered the fray. The reasons are simple: greed and fear: greed for new sources of revenue; fear that profits from current businesses may fall as a result of reregulation or cut-throat competition. Multimedia has already had a profound affect on how these businesses interact with one another. Mergers such as Time Warner, Turner Broadcasting, and Paramount have set the stage. These companies continue the race to be the first to lay solid infrastr .....

Napster Vs Riaa
.... with murder if a man he sold a gun to decides to shoot another man in cold blood? Of course not, if the shop owner followed all of the laws that govern him. Should the car dealership be charged with vehicular felonies every time one of their vehicles is involved in a crime? Certainly not. So why should software’s originator be responsible for what their software is used for? They shouldn’t, but the only reason the RIAA is jumping all over the Napster community is that they can’t just go out and arrest ev .....

Network Security And Firewalls
.... place of physical barriers. Passwords and firewalls are the two most common ways to secure a computer system.
Passwords are the most common forms of computer and network security. They are the most common because of three main reasons. First of all, passwords are cheap to implement. Virtually all computers have a password system built into it already. Every home computer can have a password to lock out certain programs from users other than yourself. Even networked computers and systems can have .....

Noise Reduction In Hearing Aids
.... The Phonak MicroZoom uses an electronic approach. Each MicroZoom contains two omnidirectional microphones. According to the flyer, “One picks up sound in front of you while a second picks up sound from the sides and rear. A tiny computer chip inside the aid analyzes both sounds. It then enhances the sound from the front, and reduces background sounds from the sides and rear.” (Phonak 1997) In reality, the “tiny computer” is analyzing the time it takes for a sound to reach each micr .....

Osi Model
.... in excess of 5. It makes transmission protocol knowledge and management. The physical layer (Layer 1), this layer moves the bit stream through the network at the electrical and mechanical level. It provides the hardware means of sending and receiving data on a carrier. This is basically what the OSI Model is and the descriptions of it’s layers. Without the OSI model today, large corporations would still rely on the paper and pen method of conveying information, and most importantly, there wouldn’t be a .....

Power Generation In The Future What We Should Do In Australi

Wind
Wind “farms” should be used in conjunction with Solar plants as more power will be generated with the wind and sun combined. It is an environmentally friendly power source however it is very costly to set up therefore it should only produce 10% of the power needed. Depending on the farm’s location it can be quite reliable. It they are placed in the South Western corner .....

Privacy And Anonymity And Information Network Technologies
.... age has been a period that has allowed rights to privacy
to beocme seriously jeopardized by new information technologies.
Richard A. Spinello, has defined two distinct phases to the systematic
erosion of information privacy. The first he calls the 'data base
phase'. The emergence of sophisticatd data base technology in the early
eighties made it possible to store and retrieve large amounts of
information efficiently and economically. During this time,

Radar Detector

The Phazer starts to scramble the signals from three miles away from the speed trap. It is effective to almost one hundred feet away from the police car. At that point you should already see the police car and reduce your speed.
The Phazer is designed to avoid the speed traps not to keep up with the excessive speeding. For that reason, the manufactur .....

Radio - Making Waves In America
.... adjusted to carry ÒencodedÓ information. The receiver, tuned to read the frequency the transmitter is sending on, then takes the encoded information (carried within the wave modulations), and translates it back into the sensory input originally transmitted. Many of the men who pioneered radio had designs for it. Marconi saw it as the best communication system and envisioned instant world-wide communication through the air. David Sarnoff ( later the head of RCA and NBC) had a vision of Òa radio receiver .....
