- ... year. January 1, 2000 would be stored as 01/01/00. But the computer will interpret this as January 1, 1900- not 2000” (de Jager 1). The ‘19’ is “hard-coded” into computer hardware and software.

- 327: A Computerized World
- ... is one of them. A "hacker" steals and manipulates information from other databases. These crimes can be very harmful. In The USA, hackers have managed to break into NASA’s database. The computer-programmes, the software, are extremely high priced, sometimes they are even more expensive than the hardware. Therefore it is not unusual to make copies of these programmes. This is strictly illegal, but nobody seems to care, because it is difficult to control it. Software producers loose BILLIONS of dollars each year because of this. Many methods have been invented to prevent this, but since the "hackers" often are more intelligent than those who make the software, I doubt that there will ever be a successfull way to hinder this.

However, the algorithm can be changed using the 'software' that contains all the 'cipher' messages. Therefore, it is possible someone can copy the software unless the 'rights restricted' and it is dangerous when loosing the 'key' as well as the 'algorithm' (Beyda, 1996). 2.4.3 Historical and Statistical Logging All data passing between a server (host computers) ...
