Why Y2K?
Number of words: 1386 - Number of pages: 6.... in garbage the computer cant use, and can may even screw up compliant computers as well.
I know what your thinking: "Its not going to happen, someone is going to make some "wonder program" that will fix all the bugs" Well let me tell you something...There are over 500 programming languages, many in foreign languages. Other programs like BASIC and Cobol, are still being used, and those that know it are either Retired, Senile, or dead! In Some cases, the source code no longer exists, which means the language that some computers still use, cannot be gotten into, and repaired. Lets not forg .....

Optical Storage Mediums
Number of words: 997 - Number of pages: 4.... a hairÕs width. This allows one to store an immense amount of data on
one disk. The light does not touch the disk surface, thereby not creating
friction, which leads to wear, so the life of an average optical disk is far
longer than that of a magnetic medium. Also, it is impossible to ÒcrashÓ an
optical disk (in the same sense as crashing a hard drive), since there is a
protective layer covering the data areas, and that the ÒheadÓ of the drive can
be quite far away from the disk surface (a few millimeters compared to
micrometers for a hard drive). If this medium is so superior, the .....

Fiber Optics
Number of words: 864 - Number of pages: 4.... among multiple receivers.
The smallest, final span of cable, called the drop, is the portion of the network that runs between the last place where the signal is split to the home of the subscriber. at this time, the drop portion of the network is exclusively coaxial cable; however, cable operators and equipment vendors alike are exploring ways to make fiber an economic alternative to coax.
Cable TV operators are evaluating a variety of new services, among the most promising are: alternative access, personal communications networks, video on demand, interactive services, digital compressio .....

How To Make A Webpage
Number of words: 478 - Number of pages: 2.... You can get a book
at your local library that contains how to use html, java, and cgi. You now need
to select one of the many programs that allow you to make a web page, using html,
java, and cgi. Once you find this program, you may now start to enter your html,
java, and cgi coordinates. After long hours of work you may now test your web
page, depending on the program you are using, there is usually a button that you
may press that enables you to look at the web page you have made. After revising
and checking your web page, it is time to place it on the internet. To do this,
you may have to .....

Data Storage Devices
Number of words: 791 - Number of pages: 3.... tape from audiocassette to
videocassette recorders. One of the first computer storage devices was the
magnetic tape drive. Magnetic tape is a sequential data storage medium. To
read data, a tape drive must wind through the spool of tape to the exact
location of the desired information. To write, the tape drive encodes data
sequentially on the tape. Because tape drives cannot randomly access or
write data like disk drives, and are thus much slower, they have been
replaced as the primary storage device with the hard drive. The hard drive
is composed of thin layers of rigid magnetic platters .....

The Impact Of AI On Warfare.
Number of words: 757 - Number of pages: 3.... but the one with the best machines will.
Modernising the weapons used in war has been an issue since the beginning.
Nowadays, the military has spent billions of dollars perfecting stealth
technology to allow planes to slip past enemy lines undetected. The technology
involved in a complicated system such as these fighter planes is immense. The
older planes are packed with high tech gear such as micro processors, laser
guiding devices, electromagnetic jammers and infrared sensors. With newer planes,
the airforce is experimenting with a virtual reality helmet that projects a
cartoon like image o .....

A Tour Of The Pentium Pro Processor Microarchitecture
Number of words: 2646 - Number of pages: 10.... five stages to extract high throughput from the silicon - the Pentium Pro
processor moves to a decoupled, 12-stage, superpipelined implementation, trading
less work per pipestage for more stages. The Pentium Pro processor reduced its
pipestage time by 33 percent, compared with a Pentium processor, which means the
Pentium Pro processor can have a 33% higher clock speed than a Pentium processor
and still be equally easy to produce from a semiconductor manufacturing process
(i.e., transistor speed) perspective.
The Pentium processor's superscalar microarchitecture, with its ability to
execute .....

Digital Cameras
Number of words: 441 - Number of pages: 2.... cost anything to take a photograph picture with a digital camera, and most models let you view and erase pictures on the spot, you save money buy getting rid of those unwanted pictures before they are processed.
For example: you could take a picture from 5 different angles, select the best one, and delete the rest.
all come with built-in memory that stores the photos you take until you can download the photos to your computer. When you buy one of the Digital’s you must make sure that the camera you are interested in has enough internal storage for your needs. For example: if .....

A Computerized World
Number of words: 573 - Number of pages: 3.... this so-called
reality you have to wear special electronic glasses and an electronic suit.
Fastened to the suit are sensors, which send information to the main
computer. This computer works with the data and displays them on the
electronic spectacles. This is a technique which use three-dimentional
views, therefore the scenery seems incredibly realistic. If you want to be
a boxer, simply change the scenery on the main computer, and you are in the
ring.
Today, many kids have got video games. You could say these games are the
present’s answer to ludo and monopoly. In a way, it is a great adv .....

provide desktop publishing features to create brochures, advertisements, and
newsletters.
An electronic spreadsheet enables a user to organize data in a fashion
similar to a paper spreadsheet. The difference is the user does not have to
perform calculations manually; electronic spreadsheets can be instructed to
perform any computation desired. The contents of an electronic spreadsheet can
be easily modified by the user. Once the data is modified, all calculations in
the spreadsheet are recomputed automatically .....
