One Russian hacker spent a few years bleeding money from the Citibank corporation here in the states from his cozy little house in Russia. His labor was rewarded with $10.4 million dollars in several bank accounts around the world. Unfortunately for him, his labor was also rewarded with arrest.

add up" anymore. Some PC owners can upgrade their computer's BIOS (or complete
operating system) and upgrade the OS (operating system) to Windows 95, this
will set them up for another 99 years. Older software however, may very well

computer to adapt to the MM/DD/YY issue, while the second problem is the
reluctance to which we seem to be ...

... increase inherent in any basic amplifier.
Acoustic compensation can be carried out in a hearing aid microphone. Most hearing aids today utilize omnidirectional microphones, which pick up sound equally from all directions. This may be beneficial and practical in some cases, as in the completely in the canal (CIC) aid. The CIC aid uses the natural funneling of the auricle in order to focus sound directly into the instrument.

What if computers were (and some are already) programmed to check your speed, the pauses you make, the breaks you take, the rate of keying errors? Would it be fair for the company to do this to make sure it retains only the most efficient workers, an ...

... matters with partners thousands of miles away. Companies that posessed
a telephone had a enormous advantage over the rest. And in a time as
economically troubled as the 30's depression, everyone was looking for a
competitive edge.
The telephone wasn't invented in the thirties, nor was the first
transatlantic line built then, but the thirties represents a time in history
when the world was changing incredible fast and much of that change was made
possible by the the telephone. Without the telephone, progress would have been
