That can be a good tax planning tool for small businesses - especially if you get a computer or something that you were planning to buy (in the coming year anyway),

that can isolate the air-conditioning from the high-voltage and low-voltage wiring underneath the floor of a computer room.

Some people are so devoted to products from Apple Computer that they forget it's just a company, not your friend. So it may do things to protect its stockholders and ensure its profitability that won't match your expectations. To generalize the concept: Take the price of a new product. You may regard it as too expensive, lacking the features that you want. But Apple's financial and product people consider the costs of manufacturing, the profits they require to cover manufacturing and R&D expenses, including paychecks for the thousands of people who depend on the company for their livelihood, and produce a figure that satisfies their needs, even if you'd rather play $100 less. As for that feature you want, marketing may feel that the right number customers won't pay extra for it, that you might find it in a third party utility, and that, as they say, is that.

Some of the recipes came from my family, or I just figured it out from how my family made things. But then I had to get the recipes together. I had to learn to use a computer and I got together recipes from all over. Id have written them on matchbooks or while I was at the hairdressers,

Spyware sends information back to a source, usually some kind of businesses. It monitors what sites you are going to. It finds the sites you are most interested in. If you are interested in hunting, for instance, spyware will let the source know that. Your computer probably will be targeted with a lot of pop-up ads about hunting.

Reasonable accommodations could be as simple as a (uniquely shaped) pencil, an extra 15-minute break or a special computer screen, and employers don't know that.

People who receive this viral email won't necessarily believe that it was intended for them or their company, of course, but they may wish to advise the apparent sender that they have sent the message to the wrong person. If anyone opens the attached file, however, they risk infecting their computer and passing on the pox to others.

Surprisingly, games like chess and backgammon are tactically very similar to games like football and baseball. While the physical nature of the game is very different, the situational nature is strikingly similar. A football coach is constantly making decisions with respect to multiple variables (score, field position, down, yards to a first down, etc.). Sophisticated computer models and simulations were introduced in chess and backgammon more than 20 years ago, and much has been learned. To say that technology has revolutionized these games would be an understatement. There is absolutely no reason that ZEUS cannot have an equally revolutionary impact on professional sports such as football and baseball.

Physics and computer science help in the programming aspects of making a game. Math helps in balancing game-play and making rules and fine art is obviously helpful in just making a game look good.

Pixar has invented much of computer animation as it's known today, and I've been very lucky to be the first traditional animator to work with computer animation.

Places where there's a significant amount of activity usually have a technically advanced population and a large population of computer users. You also have a poor economy, so you have people with the technical skills to do good work, but they can't find a job that will provide for them, so they may have to resort to doing things that are against the law.

Our mission is to try to help protect the nation's critical infrastructures. Somebody sitting with a laptop computer and a modem connection on the other side of the world can attack those things if they don't have good security.

Our mission statement is to introduce young people to the sport of cycling. We want them to get off of the couch, get away from the computer screen and onto a bicycle.

Our new video player is designed and engineered to deliver on the promise of bringing the TV experience to the Internet, ...

Our new video player delivers on those demands by providing an exciting and TV-like experience on their computer screens.

I think a lot of people will be watching it in the office. People don't have TV sets in their office, but they do have a computer with a broadband connection.

I think what you see more with the computer thing now is two-game series. Those are rough things. You don't unpack your bag. You come in, you're wearing your suit and you wear your suit to the next game.

Large retailers and national computer manufacturers will typically look to point fingers at problems that are outside their control. Smart consumers will recognize that a technology consultant, the same kind that helps small businesses in the area, has a lot more skin in the game with building 'relationship equity' than a large national retailer or computer manufacturer.

Larry predicted that the whole world would one day do its computing on very simple, computer boxes without hard drives and without other gadgets on them. And these things would sell for two, three, four hundred dollars and people didn't need all this complex software that Microsoft was selling them for you know, a hundred and ten dollars every two years.

People are concerned that sometimes the courts move slower than the rest of society. A lot of the judiciary isn't as computer savvy and is hesitant to order it because they don't understand the ease with which it can be used, or they don't understand that the cost is relatively insignificant.

James was a character. He was a good kid. He was kind of a computer nerd. He could do anything with electronics.

People are a lot more aware about computer security. There is less of an opportunity for the bad guys.

Making this list is a testament to the hard work our team has put forward over the past several years in establishing secure asset tracking and computer theft recovery as a new product category for computer security.

I write more for the children of the computer revolution, who are also interested in speculation and exploring the human condition, but approach it from an information perspective.

I think the technology Ascend has acquired gives them the lead over existing data networking companies in offering full-featured SS7 technology. Stratus offers SS7 technology on a high-end computer platform, whereas Cisco offers more low-end signaling.

I'm sitting here in front of my computer screen trying to figure the bloody thing out.

It is easy for us as students to leave on the light when we exit a room, or let the computer stay on stand-by rather than hibernate without thinking of the environmental or even economic consequences of our actions.

I think the bottom line is that anybody that does disclosures of security vulnerabilities has to be very careful (so as to) not be accused of being a hacker. The computer trespass laws are very, very tricky.

It is hard to say how safe the data was. My feeling is, based on their description, it probably is vulnerable and someone with a little bit of computer skills can get to the data.

Life throws up enough road blocks to keep you from writing; you can't be adding to them yourself by saying you can only write in one specific place. I'm in New York half the time and Texas half the time, and I work wherever - in my computer bag I have some foam ear plugs that I can put in.

It is becoming an entertainment company, not a computer company. People don't say 'Apple Computer' anymore; they say 'Apple.' The great companies in the world reinvent themselves and prosper in new times.

I think the whole thing was designed to show how we were divided and how we couldn't agree on what should be done. All of the votes would have been captured on a computer and the percentages would have been locked in. We didn't like that at all.

I think these companies (are) starting to get more interested in mainframes and security again, and for one-stop shopping, Computer Associates offers a little bit of all these things in one place, ... So, I think the earnings movement is just now coming back to this company.

It is a wide range of movies that will be shown, classics from the early part of the 1900s to the most contemporary animations from our students at ACCAD (the Advanced Computer Center for the Arts and Design).

Results eventually reach a point at which a finer mesh no longer yields an appreciable difference. This type of convergence study helps generate accurate solutions with meshes that are sufficiently dense and yet not overly demanding of computer resources.

Rittner's Computer Law: "Never argue with people who write with digital ink and pay by the kilowatt-hour.

Right now our concern is exactly what happened in the classroom, but also more importantly whether it was on a computer with the district or it may have been the substitutes own personal computer.

Otherwise, you're sitting there on your computer saying 'gee, we're down, I guess we can't do anything'.

Our ability to effectively serve customers and offer a program such as Microsoft Across America is due in large part to our strong network of business partners.

I think he (director, Peter Jackson) was originally going to have Kong kill Lumpy. Instead he gave me a role who finally gets devoured by computer graphics ? I don't know whether that is a comment or not.

It doesn't make our job any easier when computer manufacturers begin changing configurations. But it's necessary if you want to increase the capacity of the computer. The changes aren't always backwards-compatible.

I think of basset hounds whenever I turn on my computer because I have photos of them. And if I'm lucky, and I see one on the street, I know it's going to be a good day. They really are like a four-leaf clover.

It could go to 300, it could go to 200, ... It really depends on the frenzy that it meets this morning. It certainly could be worth $100 or $200 a share very easily; it has established a real brand for itself; it has almost 70 percent of the marketplace, due to its excellent marketing, it has really out-paced Windows, and it hasn't made the mistake that Apple Computer made way back when: It has an open platform instead of a closed platform.

Trojans are different from viruses because they can lurk in PCs without anyone noticing and can spy on the computer user's activities then send this information back anywhere in the world.

You know how frustrating it is to work on a computer that functions slow.

You know, there were five different teams that had it all locked up, and they all lost within the last week. And so Nebraska sort of backed in, and Oregon was the consensus No. 2, and the computer polls didn't like them, so then ended up the Fiesta Bowl. And then it was a rotten game.

The problem was caused by an electronic flight plan that was frozen in the host computer, and the host computer tried to process the information and was unable to and that's why there were multiple aborts and restarts. We have not had a problem like this before.

It brings you back to your childhood, and you want to see how things work.

We don't have to have someone sit at a computer and key in every citation.

The American Community Survey is the database for the information economy, ... Not funding it is like pulling the hard drive out from the computer of economic growth.

We have had some discussions with staff at the Justice Department regarding eBay and the online trading business generally.

Vacancy rates in the Information Technology (IT) and computer science jobs are through the roof. The reason it's so intense is that the domestic labor supply isn't enough and U.S. companies are now having to go overseas (to track down talent). This looks like a permanent feature in this field.

Viruses, described as threats that add their code to other executable files in order to carry out their malicious actions, have reached rock bottom this year.

The advert went along the lines of rather than the promotion company spending $20,000 on advertising computer magazines, they were selling massively reduced original program copies at a fraction of the price you would normally pay.
