.... end of the lime was incorrect. To Prevent this from happening, a parity check system was developed. Each character is represented by a byte consisting of a combination of intelligence bits (seven bits in ASCII and eight bits in EBCDIC) and an additional bit called a check or parity bit. Even parity codes place a check bit with each byte that contains an uneven number of 1 bits. (Remember that a bit is either 1 or o). Because the check bit is transmitted only with characters composed of an uneven number of 1 bits,all characters transmitted will have n even number of 1 bits. The check bit is transmitted to and from the computer along with character .....

.... to retrieve and view stored video files asynchronously at near broadcast quality, on a local host. Some problems integrators face to achieve this goal include: video content preparation, server storage, network throughput, latency, client interfaces, quality of service, and cost. This paper addresses the design considerations for a private video on demand implementation. INTRODUCTION The Initiative for Worldwide Multimedia Teleconferencing and Video Server Standards The market for multipoint multimedia teleconferencing and video server equipment is poised for explosive growth. The technology for this necessary and much- anticipated business tool has b .....

.... components of the Internet it becomes easy to transfer material that particular governments might find objectionable. However, all of these means of communicating on the Internet make up a large and vast system. For inspectors to monitor every e-mail, every article in every Newsgroup, every Webpage, every IRC channel, every Gopher site and every FTP site would be near impossible. Besides taking an ext raordinary amount of money and time, attempts to censor the Internet violate freedom of speech rights that are included in democratic constitutions and international laws.11 It would be a breach of the First Amendment. The Constitution of the United Stat es of .....

.... anytime. Also their is many different chat lines that consist of a lot of profanity and violence. A majority of high school students are minors. This is why most colleges are hooked up online to the Internet system. The government is trying to figure out ways to police the Internet so this will not happen. The problem with that is it is a very hard task to do. It is almost guaranteed this will not happen for another five to ten years. Being hooked up online helps make high school easy to slide through. There is a student at Chichester Senior High School that has a home computer hooked online with the Internet system. So when he has a term paper due al .....

.... traveled over the fiber transmission, an optical receiver node converts the optical signal into a signal for further distribution. As with standard coax system, in optical communications, directional couplers and splitters are used to split the optical signal in the headend for more efficient transmission. The use in the headend of these devices has been important in reducing the cost of fiber systems by allowing a single laser to be shared among multiple receivers. The smallest, final span of cable, called the drop, is the portion of the network that runs between the last place where the signal is split to the home of the subscriber. at this time, the drop .....

.... software in the North America was obtained illegally. In fact, 30 percent of the piracy occurs in corporate settings. In a corporate setting or business, every computer must have its own set of original software and the appropriate number of manuals. It is illegal for a corporation or business to purchase a single set of original s! oftware and then load that software onto more than one computer, or lend, copy or distribute software for any reason without the prior written consent of the software manufacturer. Many software managers are concerned with the legal compliance, along with asset management and costs to their organizations. Many firms in .....

.... be in the process of fixing the problem. The utilities industry, like every other business or industry, face Y2K problems. The complex problems of the water, electric, and telecommunications utilities will leave parts of the industry falling short of Y2K compliance. In the water, electric, and telecommunications utilities lays a far deeper, more involved problem than that of the other utilities. Each of these utilities have a high dependency on devices that have a high probability for not being Y2K compliant. These devices very nearlyd waste) are very much affected by Y2K. Problemed areas are found throughout the water infrastructure. Most obviously wat .....
