- 4392: Trudeau: The Politics of My Way
- ... constriction crisis was a "my way" all the way. Trudeau, the self-proclaimed socialist prophet of his people, waxed ever so eloquently against the sins of conscription, and yet Trudeau seemingly could not see in War measures that potential greater evil of a Canadian fascism that surly meant permanent conscription and enslavement of all. Equally puzzling is the referral of Trudeau's nationalist compatriots and colleagues in the years since to ... behalf of the anti-conscription, quasi-separatist candidacy of Jean Drapeau; not so puzzling in the refusal of Angelo Saxon patriots to give Trudeau any credit at all for joining a reserve regiment before the war. There was both a typical Trudeau "a plague on both your houses" in all this, and even more of the gunslinger spraying bullets on both side of the saloon bar. The style of the lone ... frankphone would be supreme. INTRO Canada, and its record of careful middle-of-the-road politics has produced leaders who were careful and middle-of-the-road as well, until 1968 when Canada and the world was introduced to Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau.

The Internet originated in the United States Defense Department's ARPAnet (Advanced Research Project Agency, produced by the Pentagon) Project in 1969 (Krol). Military planners sought to design a computer networking system that could withstand an attack such as a nuclear war. In the 1980's, the National Science Foundation built five Superconductor Computer Centers to give several universities academic access to high powered computers formerly available to only the United State's military (Krol). The National ... Prodigy, America Online, and CompuServe. These services are connected to the Internet and provide user-friendly access to the Internet for a reasonable monthly fee.

- 4394: Virtual Reality
- ... and the topic of cyber-sex was raised. Perhaps it wasn't just that it came up but more like how it came up. The idea of a man and woman being in a virtual world and a man fondling the womans breasts was probably, although very much possible, not a great first impression. It gave Orenstein the opportunity to explore the evils that virtual reality makes possible. After a while ... have to accept it's risks as well. In the government's perspective use of virtual reality it is easy to see how this technology proves useful.

- 4396: Wire Pirates
- ... error that designers seem to repeat is adoption of the "security through obscurity" strategy. Time and again, attempts to keep a system safe by keeping its vulnerabilities secret have failed. Consider, for example, the running war between AT&T and the phone phreaks. When hostilities began in the 1960s, phreaks could manipulate with relative ease the long-distance network in order to make unpaid telephone calls by playing certain tones into ... As long as such an idyllic little pocket of cyberspace remains isolated, carefree security systems may be defensible. System administrators can even set up their network file system to export widely used file directories to "world" - allowing everyone to read them - because after all, the world ends at their corporate boundaries. It does not take much imagination to see what can happen when such a trusting environment opens its digital doors to Internet. Suddenly, "world" really means the entire globe, ...
