- 441: The Utilities Confront Y2K
- ... For example, a generation plant could go out in Maine, affecting power in Florida. "The electric industry faces many of the same Y2K challenges as every other industry".(?????) Y2K could lead to malfunction of the software programs on mainframe computers, servers, and communication systems. The corrupted data could be passed from one application to another causing erroneous results or shutdowns means computer programs used for accounting , administration, billing, and other important ... manage operations of transmission facilities and dispatch generating units. Ten to twenty percent of the generating units may be on automatic control for purpose of following load and regulating interconnection frequency. The system has various software to run various power monitoring, dispatch and control functions. Some even depend on global positioning satellites (GPS). The third risk is the substation control systems. These systems control equipment such as circuit breakers, disconnect switches ...
- 442: Internet Access
- ... This also allows you to communicate with any other computer on the network. If you access by a host, it is usually done through a LAN or with telephone lines and modems combined with Internet software on a personal computer. Terminal access is usually done by a telephone line and a modem and it is used with terminal- emulation software on a personal computer. This also allows you to interact with another computer that is an Internet host (explained later). Gateway access is similar to terminal access, but it is provided through on-line or ...

- ... for high school dropouts, by a sixth for high school graduates, and by about 7% for those with some college education. Only the wages of college graduates are up. Of the fastest growing technical jobs, software engineering tops the list. Carnegie Mellon University reports, recruitment of it's software engineering students is up this year by over 20%. All engineering jobs are paying well, proving that highly skilled labor is what employers want! There is clear evidence that the supply of workers in the ...
- 444: A Technical Analysis of Ergonomics and Human Factors in Modern Flight Deck Design
- ... characteristics are covered in step three, basic system design (Sanders & McCormick, 728-9). The basic system design phase determines a number of variables, one of which is the allocation of functions to Liveware, Hardware, and Software. A sample allocation model considers five methods: mandatory, balance of value, utilitarian, affective and cognitive support, and dynamic. Mandatory allocation is the distribution of tasks based on limitations. There are some tasks which Liveware is ... involved in this phase is conducting Liveware performance studies to determine the capabilities and limitations of that component in the suggested design. The fifth step in the design stage is facilitator design. Facilitators are basically Software designs that enhance the Liveware-Hardware, such as operating manuals, placards, and graphs. Finally, the last design step is to conduct testing of the proposed design and evaluate the human factors input and interfaces between ...

- 446: Hackers and Security. What Are the Effects of Data Encryption and Firewalls?
- ... Ethics, a true Hacker is one who shares: 1 The belief that information-sharing is a powerful positive good, and that it is an ethical duty of hackers to share their expertise by writing free software and facilitating access to information and to computing resources wherever possible. 2 The belief that system cracking for fun and exploration is ethically OK as long as the cracker commits no theft, vandalism, or breach ... one carefully watched connection. This connection specifically monitors; threats against the server, callbacks made, and possible hacking attempts (Hackers Handbook). Basically, a firewall is something that protects critical information from outside users without the proper software and/or login and password devices. For Hackers, a firewall is one of the tougher devices to crack. Since Firewalls are always different, there are no standards for breaking down and exploiting the system. Through ...
- 447: The Internet
- ... faster to "Surf the Net". I would recommend a 28.8 kbs modem manufactured by U.S Robotics. The Internet can give you access to both legal & illegal sites on the net. There is pirated software e.g. full version of games that you can access without actually paying for them. The internet can only be accessed with a browser. There are a few web browsers but two main ones are ... e.g. pornographic material and racist material which are all available to anyone who wishes to view them. However, there is a way of protecting children who should not be viewing such material. There is software like the Internet Nanny , Adult lock & Firewall which once installed will protect children from viewing. One of the disadvantages is that while downloading files from the internet there is a possibility of downloading a virus ...
- 448: Windows 95 or NT
- ... ninety-five dollars in stores. Which makes it an expensive system worth the money. On the other hand Windows NT 3.51 carries a price tag of three-hundred and forty nine dollars. Making this software very expensive but also worth every penny. Windows 95 is much easier to use then Windows NT. It was designed to make the PC user have more of an easier time navigating through its complex ... so when it comes down to deciding which level of computing to accomplish. One has to decide what kind of computing one will be doing, how much money does one want to invest in their software and would one be ready to take the leap into the future and upgrade
- 449: Windows 95 the O/S of the Future
- ... Future The way of the computing world is changing at a neck breaking pace. People are looking for computers to be easy to use, and to make life easier for them.

Macintosh was one of the first GUI computers to hit the market, but it was not IBM ...
- 450: An Insight Into Virtual Reality
- ... of the hand that follows the operator's hand movements. The glove also has miniature vibrators in the finger tips to provide feedback to the operator from grasped virtual objects. Therefore, driven by the proper software, the system allows the operator to interact by grabbing and moving a virtual object within a simulated room, while experiencing the "feel" of the object. The virtual reality line includes the Datasuit and the Eyephone ... eye. The display can be a computer generated scene or a real environment sent by remote video cameras. Sound effects delivered to the headset increase the realism. It was intended to use the glove and software for such ideas as a surgical simulation, or "3D virtual surgery" for medical students.
