.... not discussed here, it is uncommon to use a bridge between a wireless network and a fixed-en d network. Our profiles of specific networks further below explain what specific protocols are used. But the general pattern for the wireless link is as follows. Physical layer An RF carrier signal that is digitally modulated to create a bit stream. This bit stream incorporates forward error correction, interleaving and other techniques to mitigate the effects of interference and weak signals that can produce high-bit-error rates. Link layer Usually a specialized radio protocol that employs a form of medium access optimized for the radio environment. Most link protocols involv ....

Though it appears to have sprung up overnight, the inspiration of free-spirited hackers, it in fact was born in Defense Department Cold War projects of the 1950s.2 The United States Government owns the Internet and has the responsibility to determine who uses it and how it is used. The government must control what information is accessible from its agencies.

.... to producing tomorrow's weather reports, and their use has in itself opened up new areas of development. Database services and computer networks make available a great variety of information sources. The same new designs also make possible ideas of privacy and of restricted information sources, but computer crime has become a very important risk that society must face if it would enjoy the benefits of modern technology. Two main types of computers are in use today, analog and digital, although the term computer is often used to mean only the digital type. Everything that a digital computer does is based on one operation the ability to determine if a switch, or gate is o ....

.... he or she wants on the Internet (with or without permission), or is it the right of the general population to be safe from their trespasses? To tackle this question, people have to know what a hacker is. The connotation of the word 'hacker' is a person that does mischief to computer systems, like computer viruses and cybercrimes. "There is no single widely-used definition of computer-related crime, [so] computer network users and law enforcement officials must distinguish between illegal or deliberate network abuse versus behavior that is merely annoying. Legal systems everywhere are busily studying ways of dealing with crimes and criminals on the Internet" (Voss, ....

.... to society. Then with the heightened press, of the information super highway coined by their campaign, would only further catapult the development of the Internet. As this new technology momentum grew it made the world accessible to everyone and certain group's willingness to take advantage of the Internet. This would lead to need for regulation in what is acceptable content on the Internet, and how the first amendment has blocked many policy attempts trying to regulate the technology. We can point to the fact that emergence of any new technology is always the contribution of several intertwined social factors over a period of many years. The Internet as we know it ....

.... production management or operation management (OM) systems first came to prominence in the early half of the twentieth century. Frederick W. Taylor is considered the father of operations management and is credited in the development of the following principles. a. Scientific laws govern how much a worker can produce in a day. b. It is the function of management to discover and use these laws in operation of productive systems. c. It is the function of the worker to carry out management's wishes without question. Many of today's method's of operation management have elements of the above stated principles. For example, part of Material Requirement Planning ....
