a. The WARSIM 2000 simulation system will use a computer-based
simulation and associated hardware to support the training of unit
commanders and their battle staffs from battalion through theater-level as
well as to support training events in educational institutions. Designed
and built using modern computer technology, modern software engineering
techniques, and validated algorithms and databases, it will allow units
world-wide to train using their organizational equipment. A key feature of
the system will be its use of technology to minimize the total Army's
overhead associated with supporting training. The system will be des .....

The Year 2000 Problem

is unlike any other problem in modern history for several reasons. William Adams points out some of the most important ones. “Time is running out- the Year 2000 is inevitable! The problem will occur simultaneously worldwide, time zones withstanding. It affects all languages and platforms, hardware & software. The demand for solutions will exceed the supply. Survivors .....

Cyberspace And The American Dream: A Magna Carta For The Knowledge Age
Words: 4350 - Pages: 16.... in
the historic principles of the American idea.)
Preamble
The central event of the 20th century is the overthrow of matter. In technology,
economics, and the politics of nations, wealth -- in the form of physical
resources -- has been losing value and significance. The powers of mind are
everywhere ascendant over the brute force of things.
In a First Wave economy, land and farm labor are the main "factors of
production." In a Second Wave economy, the land remains valuable while the
"labor" becomes massified around machines and larger industries. In a Third Wave
economy, the central resource -- a single word broadly encompassing data,

Nullsoft's Winamp Review
Words: 591 - Pages: 3.... or speakers. If you are not comfortable with changing the equalizer settings yourself, Winamp has hundreds of preset settings which are categorized by music type. Examples of this include Jazz, Rock, Reggae, and many more. Winamp users even have the ability to create and save song-specific pre-amplifier and equalizer settings.
Another important factor in choosing a music program for your computer is customizable features. Winamp meets this criterion well. The ability to customize your music player makes the program easier to use. The user has the ability to make a “Play list” from the music files that are stored on the hard drive of the .....

The Impact Of AI On Warfare.
Words: 757 - Pages: 3.... 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 past enemy lines undetected. The technology
involved in a complicated system such as these fighter planes is immense. The
older planes are packed with high tech gear such as micro processors, laser
guiding devices, electromagn .....

The Telephone System

carbon granules. These electrodes conduct electricity flowing through the
carbon. The sound waves hit the diaphragm causing the electrical resistance of
the carbon to vary. The electret transmitter is composed of a thin disk of
metal-coated plastic held above a thicker, hollow metal disk. This plastic disk
is electrically charged, and creates an electric field. The sound waves from
the caller's voice cause the plastic disk to vibrate, changing the distance
between the disks, thus changing the intensity of the electric field. These
variations are translated into an elect .....

It And Retailing
Words: 1423 - Pages: 6.... mix of an e-commerce company. As its customers will not visit the business, it means having a prominent high street location is no longer of importance; in fact a business can be set up in someone’s home (if space for storage allows!). Also when considering mail order companies there is no longer the need to endure the costs of designing, printing and sending out catalogues. These factors contribute to e-commerce companies being able to offer products at greatly reduced prices as overheads have been minimised.
A company now has the ability to provide customers with a catalogue that has a far more extensive range than that of which any m .....

The History And Development Of Computers

In 1694, a German mathematician named Gottfried Wilhem von Leibniz, improved the Pascaline by creating a machine that could also multiply. Leibniz's mechanical multiplier worked by a system of gears and dials. By studying Pascal's original notes and drawings, Leibniz was able to refine his machine. It wasn't until 1820 that mechanical calculators gained widespread use. Charles Xavier Thomas de Colmar, a Frenchman, inven .....

Additionally, if one computer on your network crashes, you can move to another computer and continue your work. So, if you use your network and file server effectively, you can have a high degree of reliability, security, and efficiency.
Second, an in- can allow you to have only one Internet connection while giving Internet access to all computers on your network. This is very important if you only have one phone line. If you were to add an additional phone line for each computer .....

have caused some real national defense problems for the United States (Sussman

Other "small time" hackers affect people just as much by stealing or
giving away copyrighted software, which causes the prices of software to
increase, thus increasing the price the public must pay for the programs.
Companies reason that if they have a program that can be copied onto a
disc then they will lose a certain amount of their profit. People will copy it
and give to friends or pass it around on the Internet. To compensate, they will
