- 761: The Price Of Objectivity (crit
- ... also rises only to hasten to the place where it arose, so do the events of the characters in the book, giving off the image that life is futile and nothing ever gets accomplished. (An effect that goes doubly for Jake who must watch dispassionately the futile efforts of others) This idea is even tied into the original cover art of the book.

And as Jake is the narrator of The Sun Also Rises, this creates a definite lack of caring in the reader for the events that effect those outside of Jake s circle. Just as when a tragedy is reported in a newspaper and the reader says that s a shame then turns the page, so too does this book deal with ...
- 762: Selfish Genes And Selfish Meme
- ... etc, it is logical to deduce that these stable things are in fact stable patterns of atoms. These stable patterns of atoms are formed because in certain conditions, certain configurations are more stable. This in effect is the cause for which many different elements have been formed by simply losing or gaining electrons and or protons, (the substances which atoms are made up of). Humans are made up of the same ... Memes according to Dawkins, are things that assist in the continuation of an individual for evermore in the same sense that genes do. They include such things as poems, ideas, thoughts, fashions etc which in effect when passed on give assistance in survival for the individual receiving them. Just as genes are passed on through eggs and sperm via the gene pool, memes are passed on via a meme pool in ...
- 763: An Investigation Into Electrical Resistance
- ... case of alloys, mixtures of two or more metal elements: these can change the resistance properties. Temperature Increasing the surrounding temperature means supplying more energy to the particles in the wires. This may have the effect of increasing the resistance as the particles, because of energy gains, reach a higher level of excitement and vibrate with more vigour. This would have the effect of more collisions between the electrons and nuclei and therefore higher resistance. Wheatstone Bridge, an Alternative Method There is another method of measuring the resistance of a wire, which involves using a circuit known as ...

- ... Internet). Gowning along with the increase of sales and production is the threat of software theft "with the average piracy rate in 16 countries estimated at seventy-eight percent in 1994" ("The Impact..." Internet). The effect of international piracy organizations is a major problem that everyone is aware of. Another element which is beginging to make its presence known is the small-time software pirates that distribute software on BBSs (Bulletin ... associated with illegally coping software." Site Licensing is a "popular" and "cost-effective" way of selling software to large organizations who need more then one copy of the software. Forced registration and support contracts only effect novice computer users because experts don't necessarily need technical support or manuals ("With the Growth..." Internet). Software piracy is a worldwide problem; one that is making an impact on the international economy and currently ...
- 766: El Nino
- ... winds drag the surface water westward, raising the thermocline nearly all the way up to the surface in the east and depressing in the west. The resulting changes in sea-surface temperature will have an effect on the winds. When the easterlies are blowing at full strength, the upwelling of cold water along the equatorial Pacific chills the air above it, making it too dense to rise high enough for water ... southern California and caused a lot of flooding across the southern United States, while northern regions of the USA received unusually mild winters and a lack of snow. Obviously, El Nino events have quite an effect on global weather patterns. Hopefully, as scientists develop better models, they will soon be better able to understand and make predictions about this curious event. Normally, the thermocline is quite high in the eastern Pacific ...
- 767: Computer Viruses
- ... is measured by the amount of time it takes to reverse the damage. Trivial damage happens when all you have to do is get rid of the virus. There may be some audio or visual effect; often there is no effect at all. Minor damage occurs when you have to replace some or all of your executable files from clean backups, or by re-installing. Remember to run FindVirus again afterwards. Moderate damage is done when ...
- 768: Cfcs Cause Deterioration of the Ozone Layer
- Cfcs Cause Deterioration of the Ozone Layer The deterioration of the ozone layer , caused by Cfcs, endangers the lives of humans'. Cfcs have a diminishing effect on the ozone layer.

- ... computers to stabilize at a more personal level, yet retain their position in mathematical and scientific research1 . They are now being used in almost every aspect of life, as we know it, today. The greatest effect of computers on life at this present time seems to be the InterNet. What we know now as the InterNet began in 1969 as a network then named ArpaNet. ArpaNet, under control by the pentagon ... addition of more machines, and the use of different types of machines very simple. As computer technology increased, interest in ArpaNet seemed only to expand. In 1977, a new method of transmission was put into effect, called TCP/IP. The transmission control protocol (TCP) would convert messages into smaller packets of information at their source, then reassemble them at their destination, while the InterNet protocol (IP) would control the addressing of ...
