... machine can be traced back to the mid-nineteenth century. But it was only in the 1904s, when electronics was applied to the task of automatic computing, that fast, reliable computers became possible. Early computers were used mainly for scientific and technical calculations. In the 1950s, businesses, universities and government began using computers to store and process such nonmathematical data as orders, invoices, and personnel records. The use of computers for business data processing expanded enormously in the 1960s and has continued to increase at a rapid path ever since.

... meaning of the concept to “seek and receive” and to “impart” information. National restrictions on speech have a direct and negative impact on the ability of Internet users around the world to “seek and receive” information and ideas, as well as their right to “impart” information. For example, if citizens of one country are prohibited from discussing political issues online, then not only are their rights infringed upon, but also the rights of others around the world to “seek and receive” that information are directly impaired. Similarly, a country’s efforts to block certain content from outsid ...

Floating Point Coprocessors
Number of Words: 2861 / Number of Pages: 11
... and software. There are various techniques of arranging a coprocessor
alongside a microprocessor. One technique is to provide the coprocessor with an
instruction interpreter and program counter. Each instruction fetched from
memory is examined by both the MPU and the coprocessor. If it is a MPU
instruction, the MPU executes it; otherwise the coprocessor executes it. It can
be seen that this solution is feasible, but by no means simple, as it would be
difficult to keep the MPU and coprocessor in step. Another technique is to equip
the microprocessor with a special bus to communicate with the extern ...

Freedom Of Speech & Censorship On The Internet
Number of Words: 2293 / Number of Pages: 9
... Internet. The question of censorship may also be raised in some unexpected places: one newsgroup is the rec.humor list, which is a collection of jokes submitted to subscribers. There are straightforwardly rude jokes but others are politically incorrect, focusing on sexual stereotypes, mothers-in-law, women and so on. It has been suggested (Interpersonal Computing and Technology, 1994) that discretionary warning labels could be attached to potentially offensive material. With warning labels like those on records this may serve to whet appetites. Warning labels involve some sort of judging and then the ...

Get Informed! - Buying The Right Computer
Number of Words: 801 / Number of Pages: 3
... the more space it takes to save physically.
I wouldn't suggest buying anything under a 2 geg hard drive. Why? Because by
the time you load you system (Windows95, DOS) and other software; your hard
drive is already filled up. How are you going to save your document you wrote
in WordPerfect when your hard drive is full? It's usually cheaper in the long
run to buy the biggest hard drive available. Plus, you always want to have room
for your games. After all, who wants to spend their whole life working?
As far as processors, I suggest the Cryrix 6x686 166+. It's the best
processor for the buck. ...
