- 101: Which Computer Is The Fastest
- ... to flow well together. You'll have to jump quickly across from menu list to menu list, which can be difficult to do. The second example I site is the better integration of hardware and software. Because Apple makes both the hardware and the operating system, the two work together easily; when a change is made at the hardware level, the software automatically recognizes it and acts accordingly. In the PC world, Microsoft develops Windows 95 and many different manufacturers make the hardware systems. So, the software and hardware don't always work well together. Here are a few areas that the Macintosh is particularly strong in concerning compatability, floppy disks, memory management, monitor support, mouse support, adding peripherals, connecting to ...
- 102: Are "Good" Computer Viruses Still a Bad Idea?
- ... 1.1. Lack of Control Once released, the person who has released a computer virus has no control on how this virus will spread. It jumps from machine to machine, using the unpredictable patterns of software sharing among the users. Clearly, it can easily reach systems on which it is not wanted or on which it would be incompatible with the environment and would cause unintentional damage. It is not possible ... non-viral program ([Cohen89]). There is no reason to think that distinguishing between "good" and "bad" viruses will be much easier. While it might be possible to distinguish between them using virus-specific anti-virus software (e.g., scanners), we should not forget that many people are relying on generic anti-virus defenses, for instance based on integrity checking. Such systems are designed to detect modifications, not specific viruses, and therefore ... either prevent them from working in some environments, or even cause unintentional damage in those environments. Of course, any program can (and usually does) contain bugs. This is especially true for the large and complex software systems. However, a computer virus is not just a normal buggy program. It is a self-spreading buggy program, which is out of control. Even if the author of the virus discovers the bug ...

Network · Platform: Tang computers platform · System Units: 128mb memory, Intel Celeron 850mhz, · Input: Keyboard and mouse · Output: Printer, monitor 15 · Storage: 10gb hard drive, ram, flash memory, floppy, cd rom · Communications: Network card (internet, Intranet) Software: · Windows 2000 Professional · MS Office 2000, other programs Social Ethical Concerns: · Inoculate IT Virus Scanner · Server Backup, Fire wall · Power Protection for Server Code Of Conduct: No Disks unless virus scanned No Explicit Downloads Etc Recommendations For change: I have not done an absolutely new system as it would be costly and worthless. Most of the computers have good enough specs to run the software it needs to. Although here are some highly recommended changes. Optical Mice: This would greatly help as the ball mouses we have now get clogged up with dust and are need to be cleaned ... almost always are at the forefront of top processing speeds. Chances are if you buy a Pentium 4 there will be no problems. Generally 256mb of ram is needed to fulfill the requirements of all software currently out. There are two types of ram that are in date at present DDR Ram and RDRAM. DDR is generally preferred as it is cheaper and most motherboards accept it. RD RAM is ...
- 104: Networks
- ... copy of a program can be purchased and placed on one computer, and others connected may be able to access that program from their own computer. This reduces the number of copies needed. NOTE: many software licenses provide for the application to be used only by one person at a time, hence, several people could not use it simentinsouly. This type of setup improves the use ratio of certain applications which ... work on Win95 systems. Communication with other O/S's is possible with other network systems such as Windows NT or Netware 4.1. Since this option is part of the O/S, no additional software cost is involved. Lantastic (by Artisoft) allows networking between computers with different O/S's (DOS, Windows 3.1, and O/S 2), has the same basic hardware requirements for each computer (card, cables, etc ... does however piggyback off Win95 meaning that the network must first be up and running on the Win95 portion of the network before Lantastic is installed or hooked up to other O/S's. The software cost for Lantastic is approximately $75 per user. Personal Network (by NDC) is the closest to a canned network available. For the two user cost of about $300 you get cards, cables, and Novell' ...
- 105: Monopoly And Microsoft
- ... 1980s, Microsoft has held a virtual stronghold on the operating system market. Beginning with MS-DOS (disk operating system), and culminating with Windows 95/98, Microsoft has become an integral part of society. Its software not only includes the Windows operating systems, but spreadsheets, word-processing programs, databases, and reference works. Microsoft programs run on a great percentage of all the computers in the world. We rely upon them to ... dominion in the market began with quality and accessibility. The company produced a good product and provided the product and support to developers and PC manufactures. Because of the ease of accessibility and quality of software and support, developers were soon creating applications solely for use with Microsoft products. In essence, Microsoft set the standard for all PC (personal computer) based applications. This contributed to the position in the market Microsoft ... competitors from entering the market. Barriers fall into distinct categories. Control of all or most resources, legal barriers, and natural barriers form obstacles to competition in the market. Microsoft controls a major portion of the software market due to the standardization of its products across the PC market. Furthermore, because Microsoft controls the operating system of the PC, its competitors must render their applications and software compatible with the ...

Their system requires a fast IBM desktop computer. Other systems may require even more horsepower using exotic computers or workstations. Even more exotic is the software that is used. Since there are very few applications that are pre-written using AI, each company has to write it's own software for the solution to the problem. An easier way around this obstacle is to design an add-on. The company FuziWare makes several applications that act as an addition to a larger application. FuziCalc, ...

- CAD/CAM Systems In todays high tech computer age much is being said about what is bigger, better and faster, leading one to the question, is all this expense really worth it? The software and hardware companies, as well as the users involved, pay a high price to be in our manufacturing markets today. So, are CAD/CAM systems really paying off for us? Are they really worth all ... cost versus profit, lets take a look at CAD/CAM systems of the 21st century, and see what they are and what they do (Childs 176). In general, a CAD/CAM system is a software package loaded into a stand alone computer, workstation, that can either be driven by a personal computer, or a high end workstation. This software package is used to create CAD (Computer Aided Design) models (Fuori 588). There are basically three types of CAD models. The first type is wire frame models, just a wire of zero thickness displaying ...

In the late 1950s IBM distinguished itself with two innovations: the concept of a family of computers (its 360 family) in which the same software could be run across the entire family and a corporate policy dictating that no customer would be allowed to fail in implementing an IBM system. This policy spawned enormous loyalty to Big Blue, as IBM ... leading producer of office equipment, including typewriters and photocopiers. The company was also the largest manufacturer of integrated circuits, all of which were used in its own products. The sale of mainframe computers and related software and peripherals accounted for nearly half of IBM's business and about 70 to 80 percent of its profits. In the early 1990s, amid a recession in the U.S. economy, IBM reorganized itself ...
