.... the internet. ISP's now more than ever are becoming the backbone of the internet. The average netcitizen uses their computer to call and ISP, and the netcitizens computer temporarily becomes a part of the internet. The user is free to browse or transfer information with others. Most ISP's even allow their users to set up permanent homepages on the ISP's computer for the whole internet community to view. This is where many ethical and moral questions arise regarding the internet. Not every user wants his homepage to deal with the spin rates of atoms or the airspeed of South African swallows. Some users wish to display "objectionable" material on their homepages. This may hav ....

.... Windows 95 has over its competitors is the user interface feature that comes built in with the operating system. User interface is a program within Windows 95 that allows customization of certain interface settings based on personal preference. About a year ago Microsoft released a small program called TweakUI that actually adds more flexibility and functionality to the already current user-friendly interface. TweakUI is actually a rewrite (bug fix) program that edits certain data files from the Windows 95 registry. With TweakUI running on your machine you can disable the following options which in turn will speed up your access time: windows animation, reboot start u ....

.... in my mind, when I see the location that I am connected to, it feel as though a part of me is there. The best part is that I can switch from scenario to scenario without having to travel any ground. I do not feel a sense of distance or location, except when it takes a prolonged amount of time to connect to a host. When I travel from place to place (site to site), I do not cover any known physical distances, but instead I cover visual distance. Just as many people do, I refer to the places that I visit as virtual worlds. I like calling them this because I never actually get to see the reality of the "world". I only get to see it electronically and digitally. The feeling t ....

.... 10-5 and 107 ohms. Semiconductors can be crystalline or amorphous. Elemental semiconductors are simple-element semiconductor materials such as silicon or germanium. Silicon is the most common semiconductor material used today. It is used for diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, memories, infrared detection and lenses, light-emitting diodes (LED), photosensors, strain gages, solar cells, charge transfer devices, radiation detectors and a variety of other devices. Silicon belongs to the group IV in the periodic table. It is a grey brittle material with a diamond cubic structure. Silicon is conventionally doped with Phosphorus, Arsenic and Antimony and Boron ....

.... as at work. The future has never been closer.” Gates has also stated that our homes are where we will see the most radical changes in technology and Microsoft has created a model for what they believe this “PC-Plus” house will be like. An article on the Microsoft website listed a few highlights of Gates’ presentation, stating that the house will include the following: · A high-speed wireless home network that enables users to play music and videos, or display family photographs anywhere they want on any intelligent device. · Windows Media™ Audio Player, which downloads twice as fast as MP3 and has double the music storage, plus powerful anti-privacy protecti ....

.... objectionably. However, all of these ways of communicating on the Internet make up a large and vast system. For inspectors to monitor every e-mail, every article in every Newsgroup, every webpage, every IRC channel, every Gopher site, and every FTP site would be near impossible. Besides taking as extraordinary amount of time and money, attempts to violate freedom of speech, a right that is included in democratic constitutions and international laws (Silencing the Net…). It would be a breach of the First Amendment. The Constitution of the united States of America Declares that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free ex ....

.... Computer criminals tend to be relatively honest and in a position of trust: few would do anything to harm another human, and most do not consider their crime to be truly dishonest. Most are males: women have tended to be accomplices, though of late they are becoming more aggressive. Computer Criminals tend to usually be "between the ages of 14-30, they are usually bright, eager, highly motivated, adventuresome, and willing to accept technical challenges."(Shannon, 16:2) "It is tempting to liken computer criminals to other criminals, ascribing characteristics somehow different from 'normal' individuals, but that is not the case."(Sharp, 18:3) It is believed that the computer ....

.... the book is not a mere anthology. Fortunately for us, when compiling these columns, Negroponte deemed it impo rtant to re-examine and -as he says-'repurpose' many of his original ideas in light of what has changed in the short time since he originally wrote many of the Wired pieces. The result is a read that is often insightful, often madenning, and always provoc ative. In the first part he talks about the communication medium, and how information content is so much more important than bandwidth. If we would only transmit better-labelled bits, we could do so much more with the bandwidth we have today. More elaborately, on 'Bits are Bits' here, he reflect ....
