.... reduce mishap frequency. II. The History Of Human Factors in Cockpit Design The history of cockpit design can be traced as far back as the first balloon flights, where a barometer was used to measure altitude. The Wright brothers incorporated a string attached to the aircraft to indicate slips and skids (Hawkins, 241). However, the first real efforts towards human factors implementation in cockpit design began in the early 1930's. During this time, the United States Postal Service began flying aircraft in all-weather missions (Kane, 4:9). The greater reliance on inst .....

.... online newsgroups, etc. The question is this: What does privacy on the internet mean? Privacy And The Internet Introduction According to Bill Eager, "The Information Superhighway refers to the multitude of technologies and businesses that encompass the eletronic distribution of video, data and voice via communications networks. Currently, for individuals, the Information Superhighway refers primarily to the use of personal computers (PCs) and modems to access information and services and to distribute messages and files via the networks" (3). This new medium allows info .....

.... represent this kind of information overload appears in Ted Mooney\'s 1981 novel, Easy Travel to Other Planets. There, Mooney describes \"A Case of Information Sickness\" in the following terms: If information was once considered the solid ground, the \"factual\" basis, on which to make decisions and take actions, it no longer seems to be so. Indeed, information no longer seems to be solid at all. Not only does it not provide a grounding, a foundation, from which to see, know, or act, it comes to be seen as obscuring our vision, our attempts at knowledge, our ability t .....

.... information was transferred over long distances. However these periods are defined, their lengths have become increasingly shorter, with each new technological breakthrough now taking less than ten years to become accepted (recent examples include facsimile machines, video recorders and microwave ovens). One of the most recent, and hence most rapidly absorbed periods, has been that of the computer. The Age of Computing began with Charles Babbage in the late 19th century Babbage , grew in the calculating machines between the wars EarlyIBM , continued during the cryptanalysis .....

.... rod when the lobes are rotating. A push rod, which 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 .....

.... and businesses, from students and journalists, to consultants, programmers and corporate giants are all harnessing the power of the Internet. For many businesses the Internet is becoming integral to their operations. Imagine the ability to send and receive data: messages, notes, letters, documents, pictures, video, sound- just about any form of communication, as effortlessly as making a phone call. It is easy to understand why the Internet is rapidly becoming the corporate communications medium. Using the mouse on your computer, the familiar point-and-click functionalit .....

.... before the automotive industry does something about 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 roll .....

.... The danger in this is what you write as an opinion may be construed by that government regulator as a violation of some regulatory act. The flip side to this is if you did this through another medium such as the phone system nothing would ever come it. The bigger question here is how much government do people want in there lives? The Internet was brought into the picture for the public as the next great technology of this century. It is without a doubt as big if not bigger than any other public means of communication that has come before it. With that in mind I think the gove .....
