- 581: Hamlet: Hamlet's Greatest Crime Was His Inherent Goodness
- Hamlet: Hamlet's Greatest Crime Was His Inherent Goodness Pain is a disease who ravaging effects are augmented by thought. It is the great irony of life that consciousness, the driving force of mankind that has delivered us from the ... what was morally correct. He never lost sight of his objective to expose the Kings sin of murdering his father and obtaining revenge. Hamlet was completely sane throughout this Shakespearean tragedy. Hamlet's greatest crime was his inherent goodness. In a world of evil, goodness is scarcely seen and often hunted prey. In believing the world could be one of happiness and success, Hamlet was only preparing the cell into ...
- 582: The Marriage
- Selling a compter to a customer is like getting married. Every time a customer comes in and buys a computer, I feel like I just got married again. Take Kate. She came into the shop one day and picked out the computer that she wanted. She paid for it and took it home. It was less than a week that she called back upset. She could not get word perfect to install on her computer. So off I go, to install word.Kate had deleted word , as well as a few other things. Kate told me that she was sorry .and I said " It was alright , it could happen ...
- 583: The Application of Fractal Geometry to Ecology
- ... a few of the results from the use of fractal geometry. Examples from population and landscape ecology are used to illustrate the usefulness of fractal geometry to the field of ecology. The advent of the computer age played an important role in the development and acceptance of fractal geometry as a valid new discipline. New insights gained from the application of fractal geometry to ecology include: understanding the importance of spatial ... and movement pathways; an increased understanding of landscape structures; and the ability to more accurately model landscapes and ecosystems. Using fractal dimensions allows ecologists to map animal pathways without creating an unmanageable deluge of information. Computer simulations of landscapes provide useful models for gaining new insights into the coexistence of species. Although many ecologists have found fractal geometry to be an extremely useful tool, not all concur. With all the new ... in the last decade. What are fractals and what are they good for? Scientists in a variety of disciplines have been trying to answer this question for the last two decades. Physicists, chemists, mathematicians, biologists, computer scientists, and medical researchers are just a few of the scientists that have found uses for fractals and fractal geometry. Ecologists have found fractal geometry to be an extremely useful tool for describing ecological ...
- 584: Against Gun Control
- Against Gun Control The National Crime Survey estimates that 83 percent of Americans will be victims of violent crime at some time in their lives. (?) Parties with diametrically opposed views on gun control seize on this estimate to support their positions. Those favoring gun control laws claim that such laws would keep more guns off the streets and out of the hands of criminals in an increasingly violent world. There is no evidence that supports that gun control would reduce crime. By taking a look at evidence gathered form domestic studies, international evidence, and crimes involving guns we can better understand this. Several sophisticated statistical models have attempted to measure the net effect of firearms ...
- 585: Computers Affecting Our Lives
- Computers Since the beginning of human life, we as a people have always strived to obtain machines or tools to make our lives easier. Before the computer was invented in 1822, people were performing boring, repetitive tasks that we now take for granted. The computer, a modern complex machine, now accomplishes things we never thought possible. Computers, in general, have many benefits for they provide entertainment, help modern cities function, above all, make the most aggravating and mundane tasks incredibly ... example of this is the U.S. and Canadian military, they both train soldiers and pilots in the ways of war using high tech computers and virtual reality equipment. To sum up, entertainment on the computer may not be important but is does satisfy million of people worldwide. Cities as we know them today would not exist if it were not for the help of the computer. In a modern ...
- 586: Artificial Life
- Artificial Life Artificial life (commonly called a-life) is the term applied collectively to attempts being made to develop mathematical models and computer simulations of the ways in which living organisms develop, grow, and evolve. Researchers in this burgeoning field hope to gain deeper insights into the nature of organic life as well as into the further possibilities of COMPUTER science and robotics (see ROBOT). A-life techniques are also being used to explore the origins and chemical processes of metabolism. Some investigators have even proposed that some digital "life" in computers might already be considered a real life form. Background The term artificial life was coined in the 1980s by Christopher Langdon, a computer scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Santa Fe Institute. Langdon organized the first experimental workshop on the subject at Santa Fe in 1987. Since then other a-life conferences have taken place, ...
- 587: Internet For Newbies
- ... The Net is growing exponentially in all areas, and a rapidly increasing number of people are finding themselves working and playing on the Internet. The people on the Net are not all rocket scientists and computer programmers; they are graphic designers, teachers, students, artists, musicians, feminists, Rush Limbaugh-fans, and your next door neighbors. Even though the net is being used by diverse and different group of people, they all have ... or get lost in the shuffle. The ingenious way people are beginning to communicate over the Net is amazing. "Netspeak" is evolving on a national and international level. The technological vocabulary once used only by computer programmers and elite computer manipulators called "Hackers," has spread to all users of computer networks. The language is currently used by people on the Internet, and is rapidly spilling over into mainstream advertising and business. The words "on- ...
- 588: Newton's Method: A Computer Project
- Newton's Method: A Computer Project Newton's Method is used to find the root of an equation provided that the function f[x] is equal to zero. Newton Method is an equation created before the days of calculators and ... to the function, like if it is a parabola with its vertex is placed right on the y axis with its roots an equal distance away in both directions. In a case like this, the computer could not decide which root to work towards so it gave an indeterminate answer. Although Newton's Method does have its disadvantages, it is very effective for finding the roots of most equations. The advantages ...
- 589: Capital Punishment
- Capital Punishment The death penalty is a necessary evil that has a positive effect on society today. It is an effective deterrent of crime as well as a safeguard for society. It also helps to keep order in our cities. Furthermore feel it is a just and effective punishment for those who have committed crimes heinous enough to deserve ... Middle Ages,and then to the American colonies where it exists still today. In the colonies, death was a prescribed punishment for crimes such as: murder, rape, arson, and perjury. In America today, the main crime deserving death is obviously murder. (Capital Punishment p.11-15). Does the death penalty truly deter crimes and murder? This question is at the heart of a heated political controversy over the punishment. Opposers to the death penalty say no because of the large amount of people on death row today. They also say that states that have the death penalty have a higher crime rate than those that do not, and therefore it is not effective and somewhat contributes to the problem. I must point out though that states that have the death penalty are usually highly urbanized ...
