- 1061: Software
- Hardware is the physical aspect of computers, telecommunications, and other information technology devices. The term arose as a way to distinguish the "box" and the electronic circuitry and components of a computer from the program you put in it to make it do things. The program came to be known as the software. Hardware implies permanence and invariability. Software or programming can easily be varied. You can ... in the hardware and make it create an entirely new experience for the user. You can, however, change the modular configurations that most computers come with by adding new adapters or cards that extend the computer's capabilities. Like software, hardware is a collective term. Hardware includes not only the computer proper but also the cables, connectors, power supply units, and peripheral devices such as the keyboard, mouse, audio speakers, and printers. Hardware is sometimes used as a term collectively describing the physical aspects of ...
- 1062: "In Cold Blood" Review
- ... and at one point, had a gun pointed to his head. Also there appears to be tension between Smith and Hickock. They think differently at times, especially when it comes to the discussion of the crime. You can't help but feel sympathetic towards Smith, as it appears that he is forced into this by Hickock. All characters in the movie were played well by the actors in my opinion. They ... steal things and how to write phony checks. Smith seems more sane than Hickock, but all he has is his guitar and that is stolen in Mexico. This is reason that these two resort to crime to solve their problems. The film was very well structured in comparison to the book. Capote purposely didn't tell the detailed version of the deaths until the end of the book, and the same ... correct from the social lives of people to the music that was popular in that era. The US is in a period of transition, and this is shown by the way people react to the crime. After this crime, people become suspicious of even the closest of their friends, and they begin to lock their doors at night to prevent more crimes like this. Truman Capote became extremely successful as ...
- 1063: Socialization
- ... element of Hirschi's Control Theory. This basically states that involvement in conventional activities restricts the opportunity to be involved in deviance. The final element is belief, which refers to an individual's belief regarding crime. Agnew makes some interesting statements when discussing Hirschi's concept of belief. He states, "Control theory assumes the existence of a common value system in the United States, but argues that there is variation in ... some individuals being "under socialized". I would argue, though, that if an individual fails to internalize the "conventional beliefs", then they have probably internalized unconventional ones. Agnew also states, "Such individuals do not believe that crime is good; rather, they are amoral". Is he saying that all individuals either believe crime is bad, or they do not care? It would seem to me that there are definitely individuals in our society that believe that crime is beneficial, and who also believe that our laws are ...
- 1064: Capital Punishment: Why or Why Not?
- ... Punishment: Why or Why Not? Justice can not be served until the debate on capital punishment is resolved and all states have come to agree that the death penalty is the best way to stop crime completely. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Third Edition defines execution as the act or an instance of putting to death or being put to death as a lawful penalty. Many people who ... served by handing her the life sentence. But was it justice that she was not put to death for killing her two children? How could someone possibly let her off the hook of such a crime? "All grandeur, all power, all subordination to authority rests on the executioner: he is the horror and the bond of human association. Remove this incomprehensible agent from the world and at that very moment order ... fatally harm me would be put to death. But, in today's society when someone can kill someone, get sentence for life, then get paroled and then freed to go about and do the same crime again, frankly scares me. Another, thing that scares me is the fact that this country has softened up on criminals. It's hard to think that now a days everyone has a right, even ...

- ... to produce and progress knowledge into the future. Today, in 1999, nearing the new millenium, the number one technique of tying business into technology would be the use of the Internet. The Internet is a computer application that connects tens of thousands of interconnected computer networks that include over 2.0 million host computers around the world. The basis of connecting all these computers together is by the use of ordinary telephone wires. Users are then usually directly joined to other computer users at there own will for a small connection fee per month. The connection conveniently includes unlimited access to millions of web sites twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Since the ...

- 1067: Capital Punishment
- ... from abortion to gun control, but capital punishment has been one of the most hotly contested issues in recent years. Capital punishment is the legal infliction of the death penalty on persons convicted of a crime. It is not intended to inflict any physical pain or any torture; it is only another form of punishment. It is irreversible because it removes those punished from society permanently, instead of temporarily imprisoning them ... in one of five ways: firing squad, hanging, gas chamber, electrocution, and lethal injection. These methods of execution compared to those of the past are not meant for torture, but meant for punishment for the crime. For the past decades capital punishment has been one of the most hotly contested political issues in America. This debate is a complicated one. Capital punishment is a legal, practical, philosophical, social, political, and moral ... may his blood be shed." This classic argument in favor of the death penalty has usually been interpreted as a proper and moral reason for putting a murderer to death. "Let the punishment fit the crime" is its secondary counterpart (Cox). Both quotes imply that the murderer deserves to die and it was his own fault for putting himself on death row. Supporters of capital punishment say that society has ...

Hate crimes are so hard to count because it is not certain whether a crime is being committed out of hate. In 1989-1991, a study done by Southern Poverty Law Center in Birmingham, Alabama, recorded an increase of hate crimes in those three years. The number of murders went ... There are also laws against hate crimes and punishments that are questionable. The question is "Should hate Crimes penalties be stiffened?" The yes side of this argument says "enhancing a criminal sentence for any hate crime in no way creates a thought crime or penalizes anyone's conduct based upon a non-prescribable viewpoint or message that such conduct contains or expresses." (Tribe)17 "In it's present form HR ...
- 1069: A Cray SuperComputer Comes to the University of Toronto
- ... the University of Toronto The Cray X-MP/22 manufactured by Cray Research Incorporated (CRI) of Minneapolis, Minnesota was delivered and installed at the U of Toronto this September. The Cray is a well respected computer - mainly for its extremely fast rate of mathematical floating-pointcalculation. As the university states in its July/August computer magazine "ComputerNews", the Cray's "level of performance should enable researchers with large computational requirements at the university of Toronto and other Ontario universities to compete effectively against the best in the world in their ... 5.9Mb every second), ii) one of two standard 200ips 6250bpi tape drives, iii) a Solid State Storage Device (SSD) (which is much like a 128Mb RAM Disk!), or iv) through to a front- end computer (the U of T uses both the IBM4381 and a DEC VAX). These computers would be programmed (usually in FORTRAN) and the information passed onto the Cray. The results would then be transfered back ...
- 1070: Atm Network
- ... keeping the constant connection necessary for voice traffic. The invention of the transistor and the concept of pulse code modulation (PCM) allowed digital communications to be developed in the late 1960's. The interconnection of computer systems over telecommunication networks soon became a requirement. Modems were used at first to generate analogue signals compatible with the PSTNs from the digital computer data to allow such interconnections. The already wide spread use of the PSTNs was an advantage of this scheme, however it was soon recognized as not being an optimum solution for data transfer. The analogue ... individually across a network, where at the other end, the data is reconstructed by the receiver. Packets need only be sent when data is available which therefore provides a more optimum use of network resources. Computer technology advances created the ability for faster information processing and therefore the need for faster communication systems. Specific data networks were introduced such as packet switched data networks (PSDNs), to meet the new service ...
