... Pentium computer is currently the fastest CPU in the Intel x86 line. Pentium refers to the Pentium CPU chip or the PC that uses it. The Pentium is the successor to the 486 and was originally going to be named the 586. runs approximately twice as fast as a 50MHz 486. Entertainment has always been an important aspect of human society. From the time when Romans would watch warriors battle in a coliseum, to the creation of the coliseum movie theatre on Macleod Trail, entertainment has been an integral part of human existence. With the development of the computer, the creation of a vast number of entertai ...

... become too dependent on computers. In one of the stories, Profession, Asimov writes about people being educated by computer programs designed to educate effortlessly a person. According to the Profession story people would no longer read books to learn and improve their knowledge. People would rely on the computers rather than "try to memorize enough to match someone else who knows" (Nine Tomorrows, Profession 55). People would not chose to study, they would only want to be educated by computer tapes. Putting in knowledge would take less time than reading books and memorizing something that would take al ...

... number of users who have gone online looking for product information grew from 19% in 1995 to 39% today. Still, only 15% of Internet users have actually purchased products online, indicating that the business value of the Internet is in promoting products, not in sales. (Associated Press, March 13, 1997) According to survey results released by DeWitt Media in February 1997, almost two-thirds of all marketers have advertised on the Internet. 54% of those surveyed plan to increase their online advertising budgets in 1997. (Online Marketing Growing Strong, January 21, 1997) In addition, Advertisin ...

... or the traditional carbureted system. I argue with my father that today's E.F.I (Electronic Fuel Injection) system is the wave of the future and the only way to go, but the old man continually reminds me of the way things used to be when he was young. Despite the outstanding performance of carbuated cars on the racetrack, I believe that the future of the automotive world lies in computer controlled fuel injection systems. In order to understand the benefits of carburetors and fuel injectors, one must understand what they do. The carburetor is quite simply a fuel-metering device that operates under the logical ...

... Line Services There are a number of on line services which provide a variety of services, including access to the Internet. Some widely used on line services are Compu-serve, America On Line, and Prodigy. In the line of communication, these companies offer electronic mail, live conferencing, and allow users to converse with individuals. These services also provide large reference sections, including encyclopedias, libraries of all sorts, journals, newspapers, and magazines. They have databases consisting of airline fares, routes, and travel times, and allow for users to make flight reservat ...

... the safety involved in the use of these weapons. Can we really make a weapon that does everything on its own without human help and are these weapons a threat to civilians? The main goal of this essay is to discuss whether it is justifiable to use AI in warfare and to what extent. The old time dream of making war bloodless by science is finally becoming a reality. The strongest man will not win, but the one with the best machines will. Modernising the weapons used in war has been an issue since the beginning. Nowadays, the military has spent billions of dollars perfecting stealth technology to allow planes to slip p ...

... over the Internet, it is broken into tiny pieces, called 'packets'. These packets travel over many different routes between the computer that it is being sent from to the computer to which it is being sent to. Phone lines, either fibre-optics or copper wires ones, carry most of the data packets. Internet computers along the path switch each packet that will take it to its destination, but no two packets need to follow the same path. The Internet is designed so that packets always take the best available route at the time they are travelling. 'Routers' which are boxes of circuit boards and microchips, which do t ...

... Marconi invented the wireless telegraph, which eventually made transatlantic communications possible’(Strate 1). It was not long until technology had another breakthrough and the radio was invented in 1906. The radio soon replaced the newspaper as the mass media conductor of choice in the North American society. ‘The radio had an enormous impact on society. News from across the country could be received shortly after it occurred. Citizens no longer had to wait for the copy of the morning paper to hit the newsstands’(Bergeen 3). The television was invented on the heels of radio. ‘In 1920 the first primitive ...

... in the transportation field, with the exception of large ships requiring over 4,000 shaft horsepower ( hp). In stationary applications, size of unit and local factor often determine the choice between the use of steam and diesel engine. Diesel power plants have a distinct economic advantage over steam engine when size of the plant is under about 1,000 hp. However there are many diesel engine plants much large than this. Internal combustion engines are particularly appropriate for seasonal industries, because of the small standby losses with these engines during the shutdown period. History The first expe ...

... behind all guns remain the same. Weapons such as cannons, shotguns and rifles, work on the basic idea of conservation of momentum and the change in energy from potential to kinetic. When the trigger is pulled the hammer hits the firing pin. The firing pin then hits the primer which causes the powder to burn hence producing lots of gases. This causes the volume behind the bullet to fill with extremely high pressure gas. The gas pushes on every surface it encounters, including the bullet in front of it and the base of the gun barrel behind it. The increase in pressure caused by the gases causes the bullet to be ...
