Propaganda In The Online Free Speech Campaign
Number of words: 5040 - Number of pages: 19.... some fight for freedom of
speech based on the first amendment, and other groups favor the lowering of laws
involving the use of encrypted data on computers. All of these groups, however,
speak out for free speech on the Internet, and all of these groups have utilized
the Internet to spread propaganda to further this common cause of online free
speech and opposition to the CDA.
Context in which the propaganda occurs
Five years ago, most people had never heard of the Internet, but today the
Internet is a term familiar to most people even if they are not exactly sure
about what th .....

Airbags - Pop Em' Or Keep Em'
Number of words: 1314 - Number of pages: 5.... it? Children are not the only victims, though. Small women and the
elderly have also been killed as a result of airbags. The time has come to
ask ourselves, "Do airbags really work?"
First off, most people feel that airbags are a great safety device.
They let people walk away from an accident without a scratch, right? They
protect everybody, right? People don't need seatbelts if their car has an
airbag, right? Wrong. Airbags cause injuries, airbags kill, and airbags
don't work unless seatbelts are worn. In a rollover accident, people still
have a chance of being thrown from th .....

Internet Censorship And The Communications Decency Act
Number of words: 676 - Number of pages: 3.... They
give absolutely no definition of what should be considered "obscene" or
"harmful to minors." Definitions annexed on to them are extremely
broadsided and could not only ban pornography but also things like
information on AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, birth control,
breast cancer, certain forms of artwork, and many other things that should
never be considered "obscene." However Internet censorship laws could
potentially make it illegal to publish things like this on the Internet,
and in being so vague, there is plenty of room for abuse of laws like these.

Computer - Hacking
Number of words: 471 - Number of pages: 2.... I already mentioned, hackers are in most cases only interested in the so called “cracking” of passwords without wanting to destroy anything. There is definitely also a great competition under the top-hackers of the world. Hackers often gain entrance because of a lack of security. This brings me to my second point which deals with passwords.
Very often Passwords are written down on a sheet of paper and then, fixed to the computer’s screen, which is definitely not the best way to protect yourself from hacking. (A password should have a minimum of 5 characters and should definitely be a .....

Computer Aided Drafting And Design
Number of words: 780 - Number of pages: 3.... on a floppy
disk. When the power of computers increased, so did the possibilities of
CADD.
Images on CADD systems are drawn with the aid of a keyboard, mouse, or
tracking ball. One selects the starting point of a line, the ending point,
and the line is drawn. A scale at the bottom of the screen tells how long
the line will be. On some CADD systems, the computer itself can measure
how long the line will be while the operator inputs the length of the line.
Lines are the basis of all drawings. Straight lines are fairly simple and
quick to make, but what about curved or wavy lines? Th .....

Videoconferencing
Number of words: 1456 - Number of pages: 6.... Unless the organizations wanting to communicate are in the same building or are directly adjacent to one another, a communications network run through the telephone system is the most cost-effective approach. A T1 line (the equivalent of 24 standard voice-grade telephone circuits) or a portion of a T1 is required to run high-quality video and audio in two directions. The fiber optic cabling now being installed by telephone companies in many parts of the country has a very high capacity compared to more traditional copper wiring. Videoconferencing will eventually be as practical as plac .....
