Instead, the committee decided to make a common reference model for which others could make detailed interfaces, that could become standards ... OSI is that the process of communication between two end users in a network can be divided into layers, with each layer adding its own set of special, related functions. Each user is at a computer equipped with these seven layers of function. So, in a given message between users, there will be a flow of data through each layer at one end down through the layers in that computer and, at the other end, when the message arrives, another flow of data up through the layers in the receiving computer. The actual programming and hardware that makes these seven layers of function is ...

- 723: Are Liberty and Order at Odds?
- ... unfortunately they have the liberty to hate. One of the hallmarks of a totalitarian society is the imprisonment of individuals for their ideas. (Huxtable, 1998) In a free and just society, if you commit a crime, you are punished for that act, not for the idea which motivated the act. Hate Crime legislation is possibly one of the most contradictory of ideas to the liberties of the citizens. Under hate crime laws criminals are assessed enhanced sentences for their ideas, such as a racist or bad idea.

- ... be used on Power Macintoshes. I would personally go for a PC with Windows 95. I choose it because of the many programs that can be used on PC's. Whenever I walk into a computer store, such as Electronics Boutique, half of the store is taken up by programs that can be used on an IBM compatible PC. There is only one little shelf for things that run on Macs ... decide to make it for a Mac. Plus since of the many people with IBM PC's at home, people can bring their work to and from school. If everyone had the same kind of computer on a network, students could go into the computers at schools all over the world to use programs there. So since now that the quality of computers are equal it is very hard to make your decision. For those that are not computer literate, the best thing to do is to go for the Mac because of the easiness involved in using one. This means you get less choice of programs in a store, and if you ...
- 725: Capital Punishment: Against
- ... passages from the Bible which are often quoted out of context corrupt the compassionate attitude of Judaism and Christianity, which clearly focuses on redemption and forgiveness, and urges humane and effective ways of dealing with crime and violence. Those who use the Bible to support the death penalty are by themselves since almost all religious groups in the United States regard executions as immoral. They include, American Baptist Churches USA, American ... whether something is moral or immoral (Palmer 271). The motives behind the death penalty, which revolve around revenge and the "frustration and rage of people who see that the government is not coping with violent crime," are not of good will, thereby making capital punishment immoral according to ethical philosophy (Bruck 329). The question of whether executions are a "cruel" form of punishment may no longer be an argument against capital ... believed that the death penalty was intrinsically cruel and unusual but because, as Justice Stewart put it, the "death penalty as actually applied was unconstitutionally arbitrary" (Berger 353). Local politics, money, race, and where the crime is committed can often play a more decisive role in sentencing someone to death than the actual facts of the crime. According to Amnesty International, the "death penalty is a lethal lottery: just one ...

- 728: Capital Punishment
- Capital Punishment Introduction Capital punishment is punishment by death for committing a crime. Since the early 1800's most executions have resulted from convictions for murder. The death penalty has also been imposed for such serious crimes as armed robbery, kidnapping, rape, and treason. There is a lot of conflict between people about whether or not capital punishment is effective in discouraging crime. In the early 1990's, 36 states of the United States had laws that permitted the death penalty. These laws were greatly influenced by a 1972 decision of the Supreme Court of the United States ... only 70 per year.

The number of capital crimes varied ...
- 729: Abortion: Who Really Cares
- ... much less save it." As an opponent to abortion, I will readily agree, as will all those who are against abortion, that pregnancy resulting from rape or incest is a tragedy. Rape is a detestable crime, but no sane reasoning can place the slightest blame on the unborn child it might produce. Incest is, if that is possible, even worse, but for centuries, traditional Jewish law has clearly stated, that if a father sins against his daughter (incest) that does not justify a second crime - the abortion of the product of that sin. The act of rape or incest is the major emotional physical trauma to the young girl or women. Should we compound the psychic scar already inflicted on the mother by her having the guilt of destroying a living being which was at least half her own? Throughout history, pregnant women who for one crime or another were sentenced to death, were given a stay of execution until after the delivery of the child: it being the contention of courts that one could not punish the innocent child fo ...
- 730: Capital Punishment
- ... mentality still exists, even today, but in a lesser form because the law has now outlined a person's rights and developed punishments that conform to those rights, yet allow for the retribution for their crime. However, some feel that those laws and punishments are too lax and criminals of today take advantage of them, i.e. organized crime. Knowing very well that the punishments for their crime, whether it is murder, theft, or any other number of criminal activities, will be so negligible that it may be well worth their risk. Although in the past, the number of crimes that were ...
