- ... has. And the rate of infection is rising monthly. This has caused a wide spread interest in viruses and what can be done to protect the data now entrusted to the computer systems throughout the world. A virus can gain access to a computer system via any one of four vectors: 1. Disk usage: in this case, infected files contained on a diskette (including, on occasion, diskettes supplied by software manufacturers ... and telephone lines. This is the vector most feared by computer users, with infected files being rapidly passed along the emerging information super-highway, then downloaded from public services and then used, thus infecting the new system. 4. Spontaneous Generation: this last vector is at the same time the least thought of and the least likely. However, because virus programs tend to be small, the possibility exists that the code necessary ... operation of any computer system. Even disregarding the fourth infection vector, it can be seen that the only way to completely protect a computer system is to isolate it from all contact with the outside world.

- 4146: Immigration
- December 11, 2000 Immigration In the decades following the Civil War, the United States emerged as an industrial giant. Old industries expanded and many new ones, including petroleum refining, steel manufacturing, and electrical power, emerged. Railroads expanded significantly, bringing even remote parts of the country into a national market economy. America was the ideal place. In the late 1800s, people in many parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing crop failure, a shortage in land, and employment, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as ... the United States through several ports. Those from Europe generally came through East Coast facilities, while those from Asia generally entered through West Coast centers.

To gain real affection, I am willing to struggle, both against external ... guide my conduct, I “naturally” become “passionate self-willed” as an attempt to win at least respect, if not love, from those who bullies me (Gillespie and Nadan 61). Ultimately by looking forward to each new location with a mixture of pleasure and dread, I try to discover what changes may mean to me.

- 4148: Ku Klux Klan - The History
- The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is one of America's oldest and most feared groups. Driven by the dream of a world with only one master race, the KKK often uses violence and moves above the law to promote their cause. They didn't start of violent, or to promote white supremacy. They have been in the ... left. After the turn of the century, it started again. This time the goal was much larger, freeing America of all non white, Christian Americans. This is the Ku Klux Klan we know today. The new breed of Klan differed from the old version in many ways. The old Klan wanted to set things back to the old ways.

There are those people in our society that do as they please when it comes to the unwritten rules of the world.

Perhaps they do not wear ... live by, however, I do not agree that types of unique behavior or outlandish ideas need to be stifled. Without those members of society who choose to do things differently, without conforming, where would our world be? These non-conformists give way to new ideas and ways of thinking.
