- 121: Exploring The Career Of A Comp
- ... number of programming languages: COBOL, FORTRAN, and BASIC are among the older, more common languages. Today, 65 percent of corporate systems still run on COBOL. Programmers should gain familiarity with DB2 and other relational database software. Fourth-generation languages (4GLs) are less procedural and more like natural English, enabling their use for software development by managers and other users. Fifth generation languages (5GLs) include natural and intelligent languages, which are used for software development for artificial intelligence and expert systems. ( Eberts 12 ) There are over one thousand computer languages. It is essential that a programmer have a thorough knowledge of the language or languages in which programs ...
- 122: Making Utilities for MS-DOS
- ... when computers play an important role in virtually all aspects of our life, the issue of concern to many programmers is Microsoft's hiding of technical documentation. Microsoft is by far the most important system software developer. There can be no argument about that. Microsoft's MS-DOS operating system has become a de facto standard (IBM's PC-DOS is actually a licensed version of MS-DOS). And this should be so, because these systems are very well written. The people who designed them are perhaps the best software engineers in the world. But making a computer platform that is a de facto standard should imply a good deal of responsibility before the developers who make applications for that platform. In particular, proper documentation ... an operating system if the documentation for that system is confidential and available only to the company that developed it? Obviously, only the company that has developed that operating system will be able to develop software for it. And this is a violation of the Antitrust Law. And now I start having a suspicion that this is happening with Microsoft's operating systems. It should be no secret to anyone ...
- 123: A Discussion On Multimedia
- ... 1980s, as a result of advances that have been made in digital compression technology-- particularly the difficult area of image compression. Multimedia online services are obtainable through telephone/computer or television links, multimedia hardware and software exist for personal computers, networks, the internet, interactive kiosks and multimedia presentations are available on CD-ROMs and various other mediums. The use of multimedia in our society has it benefits and it's drawbacks ... computer. The prime cause of the Internet explosion, however, has been the development of the World Wide Web service: a collection of several thousand independently owned computers, called Web servers, that are scattered worldwide. Using software programs such as Mosaic and Netscape, individuals can enter the World Wide Web and "browse" or "surf" the Internet with increasing ease and rapidity through a system of hypertext links. This is perhaps the most ... hyped as the "Information Superhighway," the Internet will become increasingly more interactive and will play a much more significant role in the future. Since their introduction in schools in the early 1980s computers and computer software have been increasingly accessible to students and teachers--in classrooms, computer labs, school libraries, and outside of school. By the mid-1990s there were about 4.5 million computers in elementary and secondary schools ...
- 124: Information Management
- ... firm, conclusions are then drawn as to what measures should be taken in order to increase the effectiveness of Lanways information usage. The measures suggested are outlined in detail, with recommendations of both hardware and software. The report also establishes the need for information and for a company information strategy highlighting the importance of aligning such a strategy with the overall business plan. Background Lanway Corporate Business Systems began trading in ... regular customer base. The firm continued in this way, until 1991 where the introduction of the personal computer led to a change in product and business activity. With the introduction of both new hardware and software, Lanway was now in a position to manufacture and sell its own PCs. By moving into its own premises, the firm was now able to make substantial profit margins by building and pre-configuring ... 1994, at which point they were forced to expand both their existing premises and staff. They also began to diversify, moving into new areas such as networking technologies, the internet and more specialised hardware and software. Lanway currently has a turnover of approximately 5 million and over 40 staff, both of which are expected to continue in growth. They manufacture around 200 PCs per week, each different in model, ...

- ... builders who plan track layout, buy parts on the Internet, receive updated news, and chat with other enthusiast. The most notable difference that computers have brought to the world of Model Train building is in software programming. Now on the market there are numerous different packages of software that enable hobbyist in the challenge of real yard operations on a smaller scale. These programs allow the person to move loads between depots and keep track of your revenues. They allow simulations of operational ... they bring is allowing the person to design a layout using an electronic template and ensuring that all measurements in the layout will work before a single piece of track is laid. Many of these software programs even play off on the hype of using a computer for design in their name, with names of CyberTrack, The Right Track Software, and Design Your Own Railroad, who could not want to ...

- 128: Hollywood and Computer Animation
- ... control as dinosaurs must have been in their own time. Like dinosaurs, the hardware systems, or muscles, of early computer graphics were huge and ungainly. The machines often filled entire buildings. Also like dinosaurs, the software programs or brains of computer graphics were hopelessly underdeveloped. Fortunately for the visual arts, the evolution of both brains and brawn of computer graphics did not take eons to develop. It has, instead, taken only ... papers and hundreds of new discoveries, but in the end, it was far too early for such a complex undertaking. The computers of that time were simply too expensive and too under powered, and the software not nearly developed enough. In fact, the first full length computer generated feature film was not to be completed until recently in 1995. By 1978, Schure could no longer justify funding such an expensive effort ... making those objects come to life with movement, and rendering is about giving them their ultimate appearance and looks. Hardware is the brains and brawn of computer graphics, but it is powerless without the right software. It is the software that allows the modeler to build a computer graphic object, that helps the animator bring this object to life, and that, in the end, gives the image its final look. ...

- 130: Anti-government Censorship on the Internet
- ... be any censorship on the Internet then their would have to be global consent. I think even the politicians know that it would be impossible to have global consent on the idea of censorship. Blocking software opposed to government censorship os a better solution but still not the answer. There are many types of blocking software on the market such as Netnanny, Net Shepard, and safe search. This blocking software is known as family ?????? searches. Searches work as follows: A user submits a search request, such as "American Red Cross." That request is then directed to the Alta Vista search engine. The Alta Vista ...
