- 212: Knowledge is Power: How To Buy A Computer
- ... of the uses there are for a computer until they own one. This problem is not as tough as it seems, however. The consumer should go to his local computer store, and look at the software that's available. Most programs explain their minimum hardware requirements right on the box. After looking at a few packages, it should be pretty clear to the consumer that any mid-range system will run 99% of the available software. A person should only need a top-of-the-line system for professional applications such as graphic design, video production, or engineering. Software tends to lag behind hardware, because it's written to reach the widest possible audience. A program that only works on the fastest Pentium Pro system has very limited sales potential, so most programs ...
- 213: Computer - Hacking
- ... combinations of numbers. Change your password periodically. Choose your password in a way that it is easy to remember and difficult for others to guess. Thirdly, it is very important to use a good virus software if you are connected to the internet. It is not adequate to purchase anti-virus software with a new computer, install the anti-virus software, and forget about that software. The virus definition file for the anti-virus software should be updated periodically, because new viruses are discovered every day. For important companies or organisations it is recommended to ...
- 214: Computers That Mimic The Human Mind
- ... mental will someday be explained in terms of the physical world. One way that people try to prove Eliminative Materialism to be true is through technology. Certainly if we are able to create computers and software that mimic the human mind, then Eliminative Materialism is a sound solution to the mind-body problem. In order to examine if computers actually do mimic the human mind then we must first look at the capabilities of the human mind. If one looks closely at the capabilities of the human mind and compares them to the most recent technological advances, then it would be obvious that computers and software are beginning to mimic even the most advanced mental states. In the future, computers will be able to do anything the human mind is capable of thus proving Eliminative Materialism to be a sound solution ... a touch pad or screen, and it is even possible for computers to analyze scent and chemicals. Humans also gain information through books, other people, and even computers, all of which computers can access through software, interfacing, and modems. For the past year speech recognition software products have become mainstream(Lyons,176). All of the ways that humans gain information are mimicked by computers. Humans then proceed to analyze and ...
- 215: Improving Cyberspace
- ... Though governments cannot physically regulate the Internet, cyberspace needs regulations to prevent illegal activity, the destruction of morals, and child access to pornography. First, censoring the online community would ease the tension on the computer software industry. Since the creation of the first computer networks, people have been exchanging data back and forth, but eventually people stopped transferring text, and started sending binaries, otherwise known as computer programs. Users like the idea; why would someone buy two software packages when they could buy one and trade for a copy of another with a friend? This philosophy has cost the computer industry millions, and companies like Microsoft have simply given up. Laws exist against exchanging computer software; violators face up to a $200,000 fine and/or five years imprisonment, but these laws are simply unenforced. Most businesses are violators as well. Software companies require that every computer that uses one ...

- ... and development expenditure whilst the domestic producers of robotics and microelectronic based equipment increase output and employment. He sees the greatest problem simply in the need for occupational restructure of employment, as the need for software experts, computer programmers, technicians and engineers are likely to sharply rise. Rifkin (1995) like Jones believes that the old economic models are inappropriate in the Third Industrial Revolution' and describes views similar to Jenkin's ... retail food outlets continue to collapse, with the growth of supermarkets and food chains organised around computer technology, and on- line shopping from home. Designers of all types are being superseded by CAD computer design software. Even completely automated home computerised services such as a hardware and software package called "Jeeves" is now available. Business management and company directors are finding voice activated lap top computer secretaries far more reliable and efficient than the human form. The New Zealand Minister for Information ...
- 218: Windows NT vs Unix As An Operating System
- ... Version 7. Over a number of years this was improved and upgraded to System V. Meanwhile the University of California at Berkeley modified the original Version 6 substantially. They called their version 1BSD (First Berkeley Software Distribution). This was modified over time to 4BSD and improvements were made such as the use of paging, file names longer than 14 characters and a new networking protocol, TCP/IP. Some computer vendors like ... the POSIX committee had any real success, and this was limited. During the 1980s, most computing environments became much more heterogeneous, and customers began to ask for greater application portability and interoperability from systems and software vendors. Many customers turned to UNIX to help address those concerns and systems vendors gradually began to offer commercial UNIX-based systems. UNIX was a portable operating system whose source could easily be licensed, and ... terminals and other devices. On the next layer is the UNIX operating system itself. The function of the operating system is to allow access to and control the hardware and provide an interface that other software can use to access the hardware resources within the machine, without having to have complete knowledge of what the machine contains. These system calls allow user programs to create and manage processes, files and ...

- ... conversion bureau, have roots in microfilm and stand a considerable edge with established clients. However, only a few offer open-ended solutions. The vast majority of service bureaus also are valued-added re-sellers for software. These software solutions are often closed architecture systems, meaning the information stored cannot be integrated with another system. This allows a conversion bureau affiliated with an open architecture software package to pursue all market possibilities. Including those organizations currently utilizing a system to easily outsource the conversion portion. In the Houston market there are few dominant players, for example primary research in engineering ...
- 220: The Year 2000 Bug
- ... computer systems. Many programs that are date sensitive will react to this bug in a negative way. A good example of a problem that could occur due to the bug would be that of banking software. In that case one of the software s functions would be to bill all of its customers with outstanding loans. This program works by sending the bill progressively every month until the loan is paid off. If the computer were to think that it was the year 1900 then none of these loans would have even been made yet and the computer would become unstable or cease to function. Much of this software can be repaired or replaced with new versions, however, some of it is not as easily replaced. A great deal of the code that is causing worry at the moment is actually imbedded in ...
