Video Cards
Number of words: 2882 - Number of pages: 11.... a result of high
resolution three dimensional graphics technology. This paper will discuss why
the video card nowadays can process high resolution three dimensional graphics,
but why the video card in the past could only process low resolution two
dimensional graphics. The explanation will be based on some recently developed
video cards such like Matrox Millenium. This paper will also discuss how the 3D
graphic displays on a 2D monitor. Lastly, the video card, Matrox Millennium,
will also be discussed.
Basic principles
In order to understand the recent development of the video card, .....

Digital Block For A Function Generator
Number of words: 2356 - Number of pages: 9.... block can be divided into 4 distinct blocks, each with its own functionality. These blocks are the control module, counter module, filter control module and 8-bit D/A. The D/A chosen is the DAC0801LCN. It’s specifications can be found in the appendix. The layout of this design is shown below.
The interconnections will be discussed later but the thickness of the lines indicates the number of bits in the bus lines.
As the name suggests the control module takes user inputs, processes them and sends them out to the respective modules. The functionality module generat .....

Computer Viruses
Number of words: 729 - Number of pages: 3.... infects with a virus and circulated publicly. There is a cure for
these viruses, though. These "cures" are called vaccines. A vaccine is a
program that watches for typical things viruses do, halts them, and warns the
computer operator.
"Put a kid with the chicken pox together with a bunch of healthy kids and not
all of them will get sick." But that is not the case with computer viruses.
You see when a computer virus passes on a virus it never fails unless the
computer is protected with a vaccine. A typical computer virus spreads faster
than the chicken pox too. Now as I said .....

Making Utilities For MS-DOS
Number of words: 4348 - Number of pages: 16.... for an operating system if the documentation for that
system is confidential and available only to the company that developed it?
Obviously, only the company that has developed that operating system will be
able to develop software for it. And this is a violation of the Antitrust Law.
And now I start having a suspicion that this is happening with Microsoft's
operating systems. It should be no secret to anyone that MS-DOS contains a lot
of undocumented system calls, data structures and other features. Numerous books
have been written on this subject (see bibliography). Many of them are vital .....

Can Computers Think? The Case For And Against Artificial Intelligence
Number of words: 1023 - Number of pages: 4.... the soul and a whole
slew of other unprovable ideas. Since neither reader nor writer is a scientist,
for all intents and purposes, we will say only that thought is what we (as homo
sapien) experience.
So what are we to consider intelligence? The most compelling argument
is that intelligence is the ability to adapt to an environment. Desktop
computers can, say, go to a specific WWW address. But, if the address were
changed, it wouldn't know how to go about finding the new one (or even that it
should). So intelligence is the ability to perform a task taking into
consideration the .....

Computer Fraud And Crimes
Number of words: 993 - Number of pages: 4.... is going on that
should not be. If a virus is found, system administrators can pinpoint the user
who put the virus into the network and investigate whether or not there was any
malice intended.
One computer application that is becoming more widely used and, therefore, more
widely abused, is the use of electronic mail or email. In the present day,
illegal hackers can read email going through a server fairly easily. Email
consists of not only personal transactions, but business and financial
transactions. There are not many encryption procedures out for email yet. As
Gates describes, .....

Production Planning
Number of words: 2089 - Number of pages: 8.... 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
system (MRP) is learning how workers to hire, fire, or lay idle. This is
because it we realize the a worker can only produce so many widgets a day, can
work so many hours a day, and so many days a year.
I will disagree with principle “c” in that the worker s .....

The History Of Computers
Number of words: 1650 - Number of pages: 6.... slide rule. This was invented in 1621 by William Oughtred who was an
English mathematician. This slid ruler was a mechanical device made of two rules,
one sliding inside the other, and marked with many number scales. This slide
ruler could do such calculations as division, multiplication, roots, and
logarithms.
Soon after came some more advanced computers. In 1642 came Blaise
Pascal's computer, the Pascaline. It was considered to be the first automatic
calculator. It consisted of gears and interlocking cogs. It was so that you
entered the numbers with dials. It was originally made for .....

MIRC The Solution
When my PC suffered a data crash, I lost all my data. I lost all my e-mail
address and most importantly my browser.The computer technician managed to
repair my PC but he gave me an old version of Netscape.I have trouble using it
in Win'95.So I downloaded the later version of Netscape.The downloading seize
when it reaches 52%. I had to reload if I were to use Netscape.Instead I used
MIRC to download the program because MIRC come with this neat feature that allow
me to resum .....

The Growing Popularity Of Computers
Number of words: 753 - Number of pages: 3.... only in large corporations. Yet people now take this for granted -- and want more. They want to do many of the things they can do on their PC regardless of where they are or what device they are using -- whether it's a palm-size computer, a Web-enabled cell phone, an Auto PC or a smart television like WebTV. A combination of sophisticated software, powerful microprocessors, wireless technology and high-bandwidth connectivity is starting to make that a reality.
For most people at home and at work, the PC will remain the primary computing tool; you'll still want a big screen and a keyboard to .....
