Software Piracy
Number of words: 2448 - Number of pages: 9.... of 99%.
Why do People Use Pirated Software?
A major reason for the use of pirated software is the prices of the
REAL thing. Just walk into a CompUSA, Electronics Boutique, Computer City,

“Sin In The Global Village”: Privacy In Cyberspace
Number of words: 970 - Number of pages: 4.... visions about a totally anonymous Internet are false because of the electronic trail that is left for others to find.
Linda Tripp, who taped her conversations with the former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, exposed President Clinton’s recent oral sex scandal by means of surveillance. Wright is suggesting that this could happen to anyone. Computer surveillance isn’t all that uncommon these days so people should look out for what they write and where they go on the Internet because someday it might be used against them.
Disintegration of privacy complicates life. Wright lists so .....

on two high profile ethical aspects concerning the Internet and its usage.
These subjects are Internet privacy and Internet censorship.
At the moment, the Internet is epitome of our first amendment, free
speech. It is a place where a person can speak their mind without being
reprimanded for what they say or how they choose to say it. But also contained
on the Internet, are a huge collection of obscene graphics, Anarchists'
cookbooks, and countless other things that offend many people. There are over

The Internet: It Was To Be The Great Equalizer
Number of words: 1033 - Number of pages: 4.... 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 florists camp out on
the Internet and fight to draw consumer attention to themselves and away
from deep-pocketed and more recognizable competitors such as FTD and 800
Flowers.
"There are now so many [floral] sites that the worthwhile ones often become
lost," says Lloyd .....

household appliances such as televisions and microwaves, to being tools in the

our lives, and we have no choice but to accept this technology and learn how to
harness its total potential.
With any progressing technology, an unauthorized application can almost be

The Four-Stroke Cycle Of An Engine
Number of words: 797 - Number of pages: 3.... is connected to a
rocker arm, then "rocks" down on a spring that in turn pushes open a valve.
This all happens due to the rotation of the camshaft which is geared to the
crankshaft (which is connected to the pistons) which is all part of the
four stroke cycle.
The four-stroke cycle starts with the intake stroke. On the intake
stroke, the piston moves down from its top dead center or the farthest "up"
position creating a partial vacuum which draws in the fresh air-fuel
mixture from the open intake valve. Think of the vacuum like a syringe
with no needle. "If you put your finger over the .....

Being Digital
Number of words: 484 - Number of pages: 2.... and always provoc
ative. In the first part he talks about the communication medium, and how
information content is so much more important than bandwidth.
If we would only transmit better-labelled bits, we could do so much more with
the bandwidth we have today. More elaborately, on 'Bits are Bits' here, he
reflects on the difference between bits and atoms: how the shift to an economy
based on the transfer o
f bits is affecting the structure of the information industry; how the
transmission of bits is regulated; and how the major players- the
telecommunications industry, .....

Ecodisc
Number of words: 394 - Number of pages: 2.... view the
reserve in the middle of winter and see what it looks like in summer.
Ecodisc is one of the first interactive programmes, and there are hopes of some
day there being interactive broadcast television. This is a breakthrough in
visual entertainment, because while television lets you see a place, interactive
video will let you explore it. Interactive video is where the viewer decides the
plot and characters of a movie, or show. The viewer will basically be able to
write their own scripts and produce the movie at the same time.
Ecodisc would be very good for showing students (or a .....

Radar Detector

The Phazer also protects your vehicle from Lidar guns which use distance over time to detect the speed of the vehicle. The Phazer sends an invisible infared signals to the Lidar gun, this way the measurement of the speed is blocked.
Many devices like that were outlawed because they transmit scrambling radar beams to the police car. The Phazer reflects only part of the signal and also mixes it with an FM signal. It is perfectly legal for people living in a .....
