- 781: Satire Essay Mayor Rudolph Giu
- ... in the heart of every New York citizen. By putting police cars at each street corner of the street and having them assembled with three different sets of sirens, lights, and guns. Giuliani institutes a "Big Brother-esque" rule over New York. In the second example - responding to an incident where a stupidly insane homeless person threw a brick at a random pedestrian, Giuliani has decided to wipe the streets of ... implant some handy dandy chips in our heads so that he can keep tabs on all of us and make us feel even safer in his tiptop orderly shaped society. Lets hear it for our Big Brother - Hooray for Giuliani!
- 782: Response To AOL Controversy
- ... especially if my job depended on using the internet. With all of the other options available, wasted time and inevitable frustration using AOL could be eliminated. I live in Richmond, Va., which is a fairly big city and have not once been logged off or gotten a busy signal using sprintlink. And I only have one access line available with my provider as opposed to AOL's multiple lines. I agree ... internet service. I do not understand why the unsatisfied AOL customers have not already taken their business elsewhere. Well, I can't make decisions for other people, but this should have not been such a big deal. Throughout my life, I have found that if something is not working out for you, it is better to evaluate your other options and find something more advantageous to you than to complain to ...
- 783: Quality Issues In System Development
- ... technolgy was readily available and ever improving, what was inhibiting the industry was in the methods of implementing large systems. Consequently, all kinds of limited approaches materialized that avoided the costs and risks inherent in big-systems developments.

- 784: Organic Molecules Challenge
- ... A few years ago, for example, engineers at IBM made history last year when they built a memory chip with enough transistors to store a million bytes if information, the megabyte. It came as no big surprise. Nor did it when they came out with a 16-megabyte chip. Chip designers have been cramming more transistors into less space since Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments and Robert Noyce at Fairchild Semiconductor ... it will stabilize the two states at room temperature," he said. "Based in outstanding work, we don't think this will be a problem." Faster, higher-density disk storage is a laudable goal, but the big stakes are in improving on semiconductor components. Birge, for example, is developing a random access chip using the bacteriorhodopsin system. Instead of having millions of transistors wired together on a slab of silicon, there would ...
- 785: Lewis Carroll
- ... obsession of Carrolls was wearing gloves all the time when being in the outdoors. No matter what the temperature was, he would wear gloves (Pudney 13). Reverend Charles Dodgson, Carrolls father, had a big impact on his life. When Carroll was 36 years old, his father passed away and he called this the "saddest blow he has known".

She is quoted as saying "Our big victory at Brussels was that we pressured them enough so that Al Gore in his keynote address make a big point of stressing the importance of free speech on the Internet." Many other organizations have fought against laws and have succeeded. A good example of this is the fight that various groups put on against ...
- 787: Massacre Of Wounded Knee
- ... Bull. When a shot rang out, other people also opened fire. Along with eight other villagers, the mighty chief had been killed. About one hundred of Sitting Bull's followers joined the camp of Chief Big Foot. On route to a neighboring tribe, they were spotted by a unit of the Seventh Cavalry. Big Foot, sick from pneumonia and coughing up blood, surrendered to the soldiers. The Indians were ordered to set up their tattered lodgings on Wounded Knee Creek. After a few days, on the morning of December ...
- 788: Knowledge is Power: How To Buy A Computer
- ... buying a 75MHz Pentium system with 16MB of RAM than a 133 MHz system with 8MB. Even if buying the top machine did double a machine's performance, however, it still might not make as big a difference as a person might think. If his software performs any given task in under a second, doubling its speed saves the consumer less than half a second. No products change as quickly as ... drive, floppy drive, and memory modules as the original machine. The result was a unit identical to the previous one, only ten times as fast. Unfortunately, upgrading is not always so easy. Many systems from "big-name" manufacturers such as Compaq, IBM, and Packard Bell, use proprietary motherboards and slim-line cases. The small size of these units makes them fit easily on a desktop, but does not leave much room ...
- 789: How Magnets Affect Computer Disks
- ... 2833 After the testing, I discovered that even the smallest of the Magnets could cause bad sectors and damage both, the disk and the data on the disk. Even thought the damage wasn't very big, it was big enough to corrupt any program on the disk, becuase every part of the present file would be necessary for its correct use and any bad sectors would almost destroy the file and make it worthless ...
