... an airbag is like hitting a brick wall. There
are some cars that have airbags on the passenger side. These airbags are
dangerous to small children sitting in the passenger seat. These airbags
are known to short out and deploy even though an accident has not occurred.
There have been many questions as to how to disconnect these passenger side
airbags. Manufacturers have been trying to make a passenger side airbag
disconnecting switch built into the dashboard. This mechanism can be used
like an ignition switch: just insert a key and tur ...

In the past, virtual reality has been nothing more than a small step beyond
video games. However, it is now apparent that this technology can be used for
more practical purposes. These purposes include national defense, surgical
procedures and various other applications. Society has not fully acknowledged
the benefits of virtual reality as of yet because it is still under development.
The reason for virtual reality remaining in its development for so long is
mainly due to its complexi ...

the software with accordance to the licensing agreement. Software companies
invest a lot of time and money in creating a Software and the company rely upon
the sales of the Software for it's survival. If illegal copies are made of
Software the companies earns no money and could therefore be forced into
bankruptcy. Software Piracy can be compared to robbing as one is stealing the
goods of someone else and using it without paying for it. Up to 13 Billions
dollars are lost in computer piracy yearly and in order to overcome these cost

A terminal is any program that allows you to connect to a network. A password cracker is a program that tries passwords from a giant list so that the hacker can gain access to the computer network. A virii maker is a program that lets you insert the desired program codes and then it assembles the program codes into a working computer virus (Ash, 5-6).

can be found in the literature. This is a more general problem of all the
object-oriented systems not only the database management systems. Since
the data model determines the database language of the system, which in
turn determines the implementation of the system, we can understand that
the differences between the various systems with different data models can
be big and substantial. Second is the common theoretical framework.
Although there is no standard object-orien ...

... of a jet engine were based upon adaptations of piston
engines and were usually very heavy and complicated. These thoughts were
refined in the 1930's when the turbine engine design lead to the patent of the
turbojet engine by Sir Frank Whittle of Great Britian. It was Sir Whittle's
design that lead Great Britian into the jet age with the first successful flight.
At the same time, the Germans were designing there own jet engine and aircraft
which would be one of the factors that kept Germany alive in World War II. With
technological advanc ...

piracy, and in 1994 it cost the software industry in excess of US$15 billion.
Piracy is widely practiced and widely tolerated. In some countries, legal
protection for software is nonexistent (i.e., Kuwait); in others, laws are
unclear (i.e. Israel), or not enforced with sufficient commitment (i.e., the
PRC). Significant piracy losses are suffered in virtually every region of the
world. In some areas (i.e., Indonesia), the rate of unauthorized copies is
believed to be in excess of 99%.

Next, they map out a strategy for the program, finding the most potentially difficult features and working out ways to avoid troublesome patches. present different methods to the producer of the project, who chooses one direction. Then the programmer writes the code. The final stages of the project are marked by intense, isolated coding and extensive error checking and testing for quality control. The programmer is expected to address all issues that arise during thi ...

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 ...
