Computer Virus History, 2 of 4
Temp asked: A computer virus is a self-replicating computer program written to alter the way a computer operates, without the permission or knowledge of the user.Elk Cloner is credited with being the first computer virus to appear “in the wild” — outside the single computer or lab where it was created. Written in 1982 by Rich Skrenta, it attached itself to the Apple DOS 3.3 operating system and spread by floppy disk. The first PC virus was a boot sector virus called (c)Brain, created in 1986 by two brothers, Basit and Amjad Farooq Alvi, Pakistan. The brothers reportedly created the virus to deter pirated copies of software they had written.Before computer networks became widespread, most viruses spread on removable media, particularly floppy disks. In the early days of the personal computer, many users regularly exchanged information and programs on floppies. Some viruses spread by infecting programs stored on these disks, while others installed themselves into the disk boot sector.Traditional computer viruses emerged in the 1980s, driven by the spread of personal computers and the resultant increase in BBS and modem use, and software sharing. Bulletin board driven software sharing contributed directly to the spread of Trojan horse programs, and viruses [...]

Nasa Technology Used in E-commerce?
Micah Klitgaard asked: NASA was established more than 50 years ago and has been a world leader in studies of our home planet. In October 2005 NASA decided to share their series of the stunning ‘Blue Marble’ images. The satellite photos were divided into 12 calendar months and provided a detailed overview at an entire year in the life of our planet.Each image took up 10 Gigabytes of hard disk space. To be able to understand how much 10 Gigabytes really is, you can think of that each image consists of 5000 pictures taken with a typical digital camera.Two years later they are probably still the largest zoomable images ever seen on the Internet. Thanks to advanced zoom technology it is possible for NASA to manage and study our earth by images using any Internet connection.During the recent years it has become possible to buy expensive products over the Internet. You can buy everything from clothes, cars to expensive furniture. Unfortunately you still have to make a decision for the product based on one or a few images – often in poor quality.Several studies have shown that the most significant barrier in modern e-commerce is the lack of quality product [...]

At the moment people are using techniques elert marketing to make a few thousand dollars a day. Sure, it’s good. But as it becomes more popular the market is going to explode…just like email did a decade ago.Many a millionaire was made during the first internet bubble. Wildly over valued IPOs for companies that had no real business model, and in many cases no where near the revenue that was needed to build a company that should go public. However, what many people fail to realise is that many people survived the bubble. In fact, many people made their millions during the bubble. How did they do it? Simple. They did not rely on investment bankers, Silicon Valley’s VC crowd, or even intangible brand marketing income. They made cold hard cash from doing one of two things: selling products directly or building an audience and using that audience to sell other people’s products while they took a commission. Sure, some companies were crossed ethical boundaries – and, what are now considered legal ones – [...]

Using Technologies Wisely to Build More Accessible Websites
Diego Ponce de León asked: Each website has an optimal design that fits perfectly to its thematic, requirements and visitors’ type. For example, a web site offering e-cards will certainly need to catch the visitors’ eyes, using images, animations and interactivity, while a site dedicated to science, teaching or investigation may not need any of those to show up their information and contents.The amount of animation or interactivity will certainly affect the accessibility of the web page given that the technologies used to provide this type of content are usually not supported by user agents or many times not designed for people with disabilities. To consider how many people you could be letting behind I will base my study on the statistics of this site (HTMLQuick.com) which is completely accessible and provides a lot of textual information.To look at some round numbers I will say that if the content of the site would be completely based on Flash or JavaScript we would be loosing from 1.77% to 4.55% of the visits due only to the lack of technologies, which could be a very large number of visitors if the site is successful. But lets take some considerations based on the [...]
