.... playing field as myth. Net commerce still slants against the little guy, says the vice president of the Chicago-area-based Phillip's 1-800-FLORALS, and he faces a steeper incline all the time. "The Internet is like a huge mall in the middle of the Sahara desert," Phillip says. "Once you get there, which is the first hurdle, all the competitors are lined up together, one next to the other. So where do you go? You gravitate towards the brand names you already know -- the biggies." While Web site affordability has made it easier for companies like Phillip's to establish an Internet presence, the same is true for his competitors. Hence, a glut of small to medium-sized floris ....

.... fluent movement."1 But the process of creating this so- called illusion, is a pain staking process during which artists must spend tremendous hours of agony to produce only seconds of animated film. Before an animator goes about creating an animation he or she must have the knowledge of several rules of animation, which animators around the world follow. The first rule of animation is that an animator must hold the understanding of the techniques used to produce single cells of animation. Second rule, and one of the most important ones is that, the animator must have great patience, so that his or her piece of artwork is not rushed, to prevent the animation from looking cho ....

.... reinforce your roof to handle the extra load. Do not forget the small fortune it would take to buy one, anywhere from $1,000 to $2,500, just for the dish itself. That did not include all the connection fees and other equipment to make the system work. Then in the mid nineties, a company came out with an affordable smaller satellite dish that hit the market called Direct TV. It was only eighteen inches high by eighteen inches wide, weighed under 10 lb, and had the same capability as the larger models. Normally your local cable company (Jones Intercable) would set up your cable programming packages for you. You were able to choose from four packages. Your first choice is ....

.... is very easy and straightforward. In Basic when printing to the screen you simply type the word 'print', in turbo pascal you would type 'writeln'. These are very simple commands that the computer executes. To execute a line of code in a language such as C, or C++, you would have to type in much more sophisticated lines of code that are much more confusing than the previous two. The format and layout of the various languages are very diverse between some, and between others are somewhat similar. When programming in Basic the user has to type in line numbers before each new line of code. In an updated version of Basic called QBasic, numbers are optional. Turbo pasca ....

.... the TV displays. It was not yet designed to provide a surrounding environment. It was not until the mid '80's that virtual reality systems were becoming more defined. The AMES contract started in 1985, came up with the first glove in February 1986. The glove is made of thin Lycra and is fitted with 15 sensors that monitor finger flexion, extension, hand position and orientation. Connected to a computer through fiber optic cables. Sensor inputs enable the computer to generate an on screen image 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 obj ....

.... Now computers have changed many aspects of life. Computers have had a major effect upon business. One area deals with the advertising industry. It has completely re-arranged the advertising business. Before computers companies used to advertise only on magazines, billboards, and T.V. The internet has spawned a new world for advertising. If anyone has ever been on the Internet; they know that it is a major contributor to this. Instead of companies paying around 1 million dollars to advertise for a 30 second commercial during the Super Bowl; they could just pay a certain amount to be advertised forever on the net. People can also notice the changes of advertisi ....

.... as children used encryption. You'd encode your secret message, such as "Meet me by the swings," by replacing the letters of the alphabet with substitute letters from a certain number of places away. For example, let's say we decide to use the key "+4." That would mean we'd switch each letter in our message with the letter that comes four places later in the alphabet. D would become H; R would become V, and so on. You, or anyone else who knows the key can easily switch the H back to a D, the V back to an R, and figure out where to meet. Theses two examples are on opposite sides of the spectrum, but both have their similarities and their differences. The major difference ....

.... to download such software as WordPerfect, Microsoft DOS,Windows, Lotus, Borland C++, dBase IV, and IBM LAN which are all copyrighted by The Canadian Copyright Act. The RCMP acted in response to concern from the users who stated that they were not sure whether this software could be distributed electronically. Yves Roy, sergeant of RCMP stated that charges will be laid in early December under paragraph 42 of The Copyright Act. Conviction under this act carries a maximum punishment of a fine of $1 million dollars, and/or 5 years imprisonment. Because newspaper articles are very biased in one point-of- view, it is difficult to look at both sides of this situ ....
