It is a known fact that when local government is run efficiently more people can be put to work. The money ...
Integrated software application
Integrated software application Current copright and patent laws are inapropriate for computer software; their imposition slows down software development and reduces competition. From the first computer as we know them, the ENIAC, computer software has become more and more important. From thousands of bytes on miles of paper to millions of bytes on a thin piece of tin foilsandwitched between two pieces of plastic, software has played an important part in the world. Computers have most likely...
Internet and internet security
Internet and internet security The Internet is an awesome way of contact and a great source of information that is becoming a lot more popular for people who are interested in, and have the time to surf the �information superhighway�.

How a car motor works
How a car motor works Have you ever gotten smoked in a stoplight confrontation by a lesser car that you should have creamed? Does your buddy with his almost stock car pull away from you in a roll on a consistent basis? Tired of losing in front of the crowds at the local strip? Does the local "Guru" who works at your friendly neighborhood speed shop intimidate you with quasi-scientific B.S. when you try to buy something. Are you running out of hard-earned money? How do you know if the mail or...

High and low displacement engines
High and low displacement engines High & Low Displacement Engines People often think bigger is better, but that�s not always true. Cars that have bigger engines are said to be faster than those with small engine are, but an Acura Integra Type R can out accelerate a Ford Mustang GT easily. This may seem impossible until the differences in the design of the two cars are analyzed. A stock Integra coupe is relatively light compared to the Mustang. The Integra's four cylinder 1.8-liter...
History of the internet
History of the internet The year is 1957 and the USSR has just launched the first artificial earth satellite. In response America launches the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) within the Department of Defense (DOD) to create America�s lead in science and technology. The Internet had its humble beginnings here, within ARPA�s many projects. The Internet has become one of the key symbols of today�s pop culture: everything has a �dot com� address; people do not ...
Fast car physics
Fast car physics The average driver doesn�t think about what keeps their car moving or what keeps them on the road, but that�s because they don�t have to. The average driver doesn�t have to worry about having enough downforce to keep them on the road or if they will reach the adhesive limit of their car�s tires around a turn. These are the things are the car designers, professional drivers, racing pit crews, serious sports car owners, and physicist think about. Physics are an imp...

Firewalls
Firewalls The term firewall has seen limited use since the late 1980s to describe a device to block unwanted network traffic while allowing other traffic to pass. The first published description of a "modern" firewall including use of that name was in 'Practical Unix Security' written in 1990 and published in 1991. The first description of a firewall, although not by that name, was also in 1990, in a paper by Bill Cheswick. A few of the industry pioneers tried to track down the origin of the...

Green architecture
Green architecture Green Architecture Green architecture is an approach to building which has become more popular in the last 25 to 30 years. Also known as sustainable design, green architecture is a method of design that minimizes the impact of building on the environment. Once thought of as unconventional and nonstandard, both regulatory agencies and the public alike are quickly accepting green architecture as a socially responsible and logical means of construction. ...
Digital block for a function generator
Digital block for a function generator Digital Block Design Design introduction The Digital Block is the heart of this digitally controlled function generator. Symmetry and frequency variation is direct result of the design of this block. In this design the emphasis was on simplicity and some target specifications at the top of the frequency variation were compromised in order to achieve greater simplicity. This design achieves 28 frequencies in the range of 100Hz to 100kHz. Whilst the 1...
Dna identification system
Dna identification system The Australian society would not benefit by the introduction of a DNA signature identification system for all citizens over the age of 18. This is the same thing as the Australian Card, which was stopped being released in the mid 1960’s. There were a number of reasons for this, as some being the government would know everything about you but maybe the government know more about you then you think. But is it all really that bad? Maybe it would help us as we cou...

Ecommerce Business and the Internet The past several years have marked a time which is comparable to the coming of television and the radio. The Internet has grown from a simple way to send messages to and from two different computers with different operating systems, known as the beginning of E-Mail, to a way to sell and buy products just like in the tangible world. This article explains that the Internet or Web must be reckoned in dog years, because the pace of change is so fast that ...

Computers 2
Computers 2 COMPUTERS Could one imagine what the world would be like today without computers? For one, I would not be typing this paper right now. Computers were actually developed in early history. The first major use for a computer in the U.S. was during the 1890 census. Two men, Herman Hollerith and James Powers, developed a new punched-card system that could automatically read information on cards without human intervention (Chaney 52). This caused many other people to ...

For instance, “the use of computers in the classroom has freed up some of my time so I can give more individualized instruction to the needy,” say...
Cryptography
Cryptography Cryptography is the science of encoding a message into a form that is unreadable and making sure only the proper people are capable of decoding the message back into its original form. This is usually done by using an encryption algorithm and a decryption algorithm (these two are often the same) and very often a secret key. Some of the early cryptographic systems did not use a key but instead kept the algorithm itself secret. The message sender uses the encryption algorithm and ...
