.... on the last, were Sony's games. Surprisingly, Nintendo's new games didn't look much different than the other two companies'. On three corners of the room, there were television sets displaying the latest and greatest games for each popular console. While watching these new games, I was in awe. When I was younger, I remembered playing what those times considered, "high tech" video games. During those years, the games had little blocky characters who looked more like a blob than a human being. The music wasn't even music at all. It was more of a bunch of beeping at .....

.... it is estimated that by the year 2011 most every American home will have a PC with instant access to the Internet. With an increase in users everyday and new businesses taking advantage of perks of an alternate electronic world, this information dimension will only get bigger, more elaborate, provide more services, and we will find society as a whole more and more dependent on it. However, even in an artificial environment such as the cyberspace, it appears mankind cannot escape from its somewhat overwhelming natural attraction to wrongful behavior or criminal tendencies. .....

.... they are optimized for a moderate size geographic area such as a single office building, warehouse, or a campus. The IEEE 802 LAN is a shared medium peer-to-peer communications network that broadcasts information for all stations to receive. As a consequence, it does not inherently provide privacy. The LAN enables stations to communicate directly using a common physical medium on a point-to-point basis without any intermediate switching node being required. There is always need for an access sublayer in order to arbitrate to access to the shared medium. The network is gener .....

.... there must be pleasure; thus resulting in computer games. In the beginning there were games like "Pong", single pixel tennis. On each end of the screen there were two bars and the object was to hit a square pixel back and forth in an attempt to score. These types of games were good, but as technology advanced , graphics and sound were in demand. From the ATARI came NINTENDO ( I am skipping a few minute advances in technology like the ODDESY) Then Nintendo, which dominated the market at the time, soon had competition with SEGA. Both of these systems were 16 bit. Theses mac .....

.... especially with regards to the issue of who owns and controls this information. The information age has been a period that has allowed rights to privacy to beocme seriously jeopardized by new information technologies. Richard A. Spinello, has defined two distinct phases to the systematic erosion of information privacy. The first he calls the 'data base phase'. The emergence of sophisticatd data base technology in the early eighties made it possible to store and retrieve large amounts of information efficiently and economically. During this time, .....

.... are only 2 physical spaces for the year in this date format, after '99', the only logical choice is to reset the number to '00'. The year 2000 problem is unlike any other problem in modern history for several reasons. William Adams points out some of the most important ones. "Time is running out- the Year 2000 is inevitable! The problem will occur simultaneously worldwide, time zones withstanding. It affects all languages and platforms, hardware & software. The demand for solutions will exceed the supply. Survivors will survive big, losers will lose big. There is no .....

.... mixture of air and fuel; in the latter, high compression raises the temperature of the air in the chamber and ignites the injected fuel without a spark. The diesel engine is a compression-ignition engine. This article emphasizes the spark-ignition engine. The invention and early development of internal-combustion engines are usually credited to three Germans. Nikolaus Otto patented and built (1876) the first such engine; Karl Benz built the first automobile to be powered by such an engine (1885); and Gottlieb Daimler designed the first high-speed internal- combustion engi .....
