... Virus Effects
Attack specific body cells' Modify the genetic information of a
cell other than previous one. It performs tasks. New viruses grow in the
infected cell itself. An infected program may not exhibit symptoms for a
while. Not all cells with which the virus contact are infected. Viruses can
mutate and thus cannot clearly be diagnosed. Infected cells aren't infected more

... be connected and how many guest computers you expect to be connected at one time.
The second mathematical problem that occurs is best solved using an algebraic equation. Let x=the amount of desktop computers that will always be connected, y=the amount of guest computers that you expect to be connected at one time. So, the equation is: x+y+1. The one added on the end of the equation is another guest file just to make sure you don't fall short. So, this tells you how many files you need to create. The guest files will all be generically named so that all guests have the same access privileges, and all t ...

Morality And Ethics And Computers
Number of Words: 1652 / Number of Pages: 7
... ethical problems dealing with the use of
computers in the medical field. In one particular case, a technician trusted
what he thought a computer was telling him, and administered a deadly dose of
radiation to a hospital patient.2 In cases like these, it is difficult to decide
who's fault it is. It could have been the computer programmer's fault, but
Goodman asks, "How much responsibility can you place on a machine?"3
Many problems also occur when computers are used in education. Should
computers replace actual teachers in the classroom? In some schools, computers
and computer manuals have ...

Modern Designing In Today's Automobile
Number of Words: 1040 / Number of Pages: 4
... a car and typically each engineer has a specific job, such as the
car's frame. These engineers work independently on their assigned tasks,
but they all are aware of what the other engineers are working on. This is
because all of the work each engineer produces must work in unison with the
work their colleagues are doing so that all the work produced functions as
one; as an automobile.
Another important factor in the production of an automobile is
safety. There are many different safety devices on cars today which save
thousands of lives each year. The engineering that produces these safety ...

Virtual Reality: What It Is And How It Works
Number of Words: 3163 / Number of Pages: 12
... among other things.
In order to create this alternate reality, however, you need to find
ways to create the illusion of reality with a piece of machinery known as
the computer. This is done with several computer-user interfaces used
to simulate the senses. Among these, are stereoscopic glasses to make
the simulated world look real, a 3D auditory display to give depth to
sound, sensor lined gloves to simulate tactile feedback, and head-
trackers to follow the orientation of the head. Since the technology
is fairly young, these interfaces have not been perfected, ma ...

Othello: Game Strategy
Number of Words: 695 / Number of Pages: 3
... Always play within your set "square". If you had on the bottom row 3
white, and on the second row 2 blacks, you would only play within that
designated square, which is 3 x 3 stones. (see diagram.) This ensures
that the computer can only play one stone past the square at any time,
which will help you in predicting where the computer will move and a basic
strategy.
Always try to keep yourself to one move to win (if you could have two
moves in a row, you would win something to zero.) Don't have long rows of
white connecting to one black. If you do, the computer can get up to 6 in
one move ...

Can Computers Think? The Case For And Against Artificial Intelligence
Number of Words: 1023 / Number of Pages: 4
... ideas. Since neither reader nor writer is a scientist,
for all intents and purposes, we will say only that thought is what we (as homo
sapien) experience.
So what are we to consider intelligence? The most compelling argument
is that intelligence is the ability to adapt to an environment. Desktop
computers can, say, go to a specific WWW address. But, if the address were
changed, it wouldn't know how to go about finding the new one (or even that it
should). So intelligence is the ability to perform a task taking into
consideration the circumstances of completing the task.
So now that we have ...
