.... conartists work the crowds. Ghosts.Anybody can fall victem to a ghost. Nobody is really truely safe because our personal information is distrubted like candy on halloween. We use our social security numbers as identification numbers Credit card numbers are printed on every receipt. And our liscense number is used on a daily basis. Despite this there are ways to prevent yourself from falling victem to identity theft. you see a criminal likes easy prey. They don't want to have to work for it. It's like locking your car at the mall, sure someone might break in anyway, but chance are if your doors are lock the will probably move on to another car. First off... Neve ....

.... Buckland and the Berlin Turnpike, for instance, shoppers can compare equipment and costs at Nobody Beats the Wiz, Lechmere, Circut City, Staples, and Office Max - all within minutes in one another. Yet, computer retailers insist that there has been a need for more stores - specifically their own - citing a nearly constant updating of equipment and a growing emphasis on service. They also believe revenue potential remains because computers are constanly changing and more people are becoming curious about the Internet. Still, many worry the market potential might be waning. Analysts believe the market is very close to being saturated, if not already there. t ....

.... they came up with the definition: "A reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools or specialized devices, through variable programmable motions, for the performance of a variety of tasks." The key wor ds in their definition are "reprogrammable" and "multifunctional." By "reprogrammable" they mean that if a robot gets a new assignment, it will need new instructions, but its basic structure will not change (except maybe a new mechanical hand). By "multifunctional" they mean a robot is the mechanical counter part of a computer that can handle various problems without any major hardware m ....

.... working for Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1969 and 1970, Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie began to develop their own single-user, multi-tasking small operating system and they chose the name UNIX. Their initial goal was simply to operate their DEC PDP machines more effectively. In 1971, UNIX became multi-user and multi-tasking, but it was still just being developed by a small group of programmers who were trying to take advantage of the machines they had at hand. (In other words, this operating system that they were developing did not run on any machine made by Bell!) In 1973, Dennis Ritchie rewrote the UNIX operating system in C (a language he had developed.) And in 1975, ....

.... writing and printing. In the past ten years, however, a powerful, general-purpose mind tool, , has become widely available. In almost any shopping mall we can now buy a machine that will not only do our arithmetic. In addition, this machine helps us think, write, draw, play music, learn, keep records and retrieve information. It is that we are using every day. The idea of an automatic computing machine can be traced back to the mid-nineteenth century. But it was only in the 1904s, when electronics was applied to the task of automatic computing, that fast, reliable computers became possible. Early computers were used mainly for scientific and technical calculations. In the ....

.... environment with scenarios drawn from the entire operational continuum to support Army, joint and coalition force training distributed across the globe. a. The WARSIM 2000 simulation system will use a computer-based simulation and associated hardware to support the training of unit commanders and their battle staffs from battalion through theater-level as well as to support training events in educational institutions. Designed and built using modern computer technology, modern software engineering techniques, and validated algorithms and databases, it will allow units world-wide to train using their organizational equipment. A key feature of the system will be its u ....

.... with personal information, city functions, and banking systems. For example you have a credit card that you just got and it expires 05/02, the bank will think 05/02 means 05/1902, It is way overdue to be terminated and bam! There goes your credit card. This bug also affects other things in the city. For example, if a train is running on a track and the power cuts out, then the gates wont go down and people will be in a lot of trouble. (Also, what happens if the power goes out in a hospital? (Also see “WHAT IS Y2K” later on) Food is one essential thing that is crucial to survival and many people think that we may need lots of canned and dry goods. As in any crisis ....

.... The history of telecommunication dates back as far as 490 BC. At this time there was no electricity, or any type of technology but there was a form of telecommunication. This for is called the Drum Telegraph. The drum telegraph was developed as a means of telecommunication. The natives of Africa introduced drum telegraphy. This roaring of drums is how messages were spread for far distances. In similar state, the old China used a sort of drum telegraph which was that of the "Tamtam". This was a big, free hanging, circular metal plate. The keystroking, as it is called, of this plate would create a far-reaching audible tone. This is the drum telegraph and the start o ....
