•Alien Intruders!
Alien Intruders!
by: Seamus Dolly
You probably didn't casually invite, or extend a formal attendance request to, these undesirables known as viruses.
Regardless of your opinions, such cyber-nomads may call on you, complete and active, with their destructive payloads.
So what is a virus?
A virus is a program that can self replicate or reproduce itself.
These programmable pirates have a special talent for attaching themselves to executable programmes. When such programmes are executed (often...
•An Affable Article
An Affable Article
by: Seamus Dolly
It doesn’t really matter who you are; you definitely know something or know something differently. It is our particular sense of logic and humour that make us interesting.
Interesting and informative articles are in big demand. Article directories meet this demand by amassing them in one location.
Who can do this or what qualifications are needed to submit articles?
Providing that the content is “clean”, anyone can submit, and the only qualification needed...
•Bearings
Bearings
by: Seamus Dolly
Since Murphy or whoever it was, took credit for the round wheel, rolling technology has changed somewhat.
Today, friction whether static or dynamic, is reliant on bearings to reduce motor or engine load. What is sometimes overlooked is the inherent features and design of a bearings to reduce temperature where it is not necessary.
The basic requirement is to reduce contacting surface areas.
More extreme requirements are to reduce vibration, reduce allotted space...
•Belief, Designed For Life!
Belief, Designed For Life!
by: Seamus Dolly
Liam says to Joe; “where is your God now, when life can be made in a laboratory”?
Joe says to Liam; “it couldn’t have happened, but for the presence of God”.
It was a short debate involving two non-scientific people, but wasn’t it interesting?
While Liam set out to demolish Joe’s faith, he was left with a simple retort that quietened him. In this case, the non-believer lost because he had nothing substantial to believe in.
And the believer,...
•Bodily Attributes!
Bodily Attributes!
by: Seamus Dolly
The revolution is indeed underway.
Money married to desire, imagination and necessity has produced a technological revolution which will see incredible changes and potential. This is not about any morbid fixation, but rather about complimentary technologies. Some religious ideologists, or ethically sensitive groups, may not approve.
Fine! Each to his own.
But, someone dealing with paralysis, for example, has hope for a productive future.
Cybernetics,...
•Cache In Your Chips And Get A Bus!
Cache In Your Chips And Get A Bus!
by: Seamus Dolly
Computer related terminology could sometimes be daunting to newcomers. These are relatively new words or hybrids of words, already in existence. Someone with a degree in English, for example, could not necessarily guess, the function of a particular devise, by its name. This is because such a devise never existed in history or in the history of the English language.
Tolerance and patience is required.
If you work in the field of computers,...
•Displaced Dragons!
Displaced Dragons!
by: Seamus Dolly
While dragons are somewhat mystical and mythical, there exists another type of dragon. These ones are real enough and specialists at silent manoeuvres.
Unlike the dragons of legend, they come with help, or so it would seem.
Worms, mail worms or viruses, their names are less important than their action.
Cutting to the chase, see for yourself the reality, and reason to yourself your reaction, to such helpful mail;

•Easy to Execute!
Easy to Execute!
by: Seamus Dolly
Plug and play equipment or hardware solves the problem of driver installation, re-starting routines, and generally speaking, “hassle”, for those who are not technically proficient.
If your computer supports “Plug and Play”, then, as the name suggests, you simply plug it in and play. For people who are “word perfect”, plug and play might sound somewhat misleading. Peripherals, such as your mouse, keyboard, monitors, scanners, network adaptors, or printers...
•Hydraulic?
Hydraulic?
by: Seamus Dolly
This may sound a little strange, but one day a man called in looking for some water for his car. That was not unusual, until he started to put it into his hydraulic reservoir for the braking system of his car. I was young and curious, but he explained that water would suffice. Many years later and some hydraulic experience, it seems that he was right. Or partly so!
It should be remembered that twenty-five years ago, and anywhere from there back, the...
•I.P. address?
I.P. address? by Seamus DollyAll computers connected to the internet have a special or unique number. This is known as an I.P. address. Such addresses are issued by I.C.A.N.N.. This stands for the International Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers and is responsible for, and presumably capable of, ensuring the uniqueness of your, and everyone else’s I.P. or Internet Protocol address.I’m sure that most people have seen their I.P. address before. On-line payment forms often record your...

Built into the price of a product is an affiliate commission, which can be a percentage, often in excess of fifty percent.The expected or normal result of such a relationship, is to "spread the word" and...

Instant Gratification! by Seamus DollyInstant Gratification!Auto responders deliver instant gratification to those who send mail to them (not an old proverb, but a modern axiom ).Auto responders are invaluable to modern business.In themselves, they are no more than fancy e-mail addresses;They look similar but are exceptionally brilliant in a twenty-four hour, all year round, context. There are many to choose from, differing in price and functionality/features.Impressive ones do the...
•Maps of Time and Tide.
Maps of Time and Tide. by Seamus DollyMaps, for centuries have been the business of cartographers with mariners traditionally being able to make their own, in uncharted waters. Yes, the expression is still used in various contexts. I suppose that given the nature of open seas, one had little option but to find their own way. When a courier pigeon was the quickest communication device for help, an understanding of mapping was essential to evade Davy’s Locker. Land based cartographers were...
•Moment of Magic
Moment of Magic
by: Seamus Dolly
Laughter may or may not be a shock, relieved, but its’ therapeutic effects are recognised in most cultures. It allows a positive distractive moment or moments. When things are tough, rough, overbearing or endless, a quick laugh can help to transcend an obsessive reality.
Where could the harm lie?
Where the outcome is refreshment, where is the loss? A few moments of production lost to relaxation, perhaps, couldn’t be considered a waste.
When a busy life...

Quantum-less Time and Mathematically-deprived theory! by Seamus DollyWhat would you say to me if I told you that you don’t have to be at work by 8 am, but rather that you have to be at work tomorrow?What if I told you that your alarm clock is going to be reconfigured to only display days, and not specific times?Would you sleep better?Or what if your clock card was to have days, not digits, on its’ face? Would your concept of time be altered?If your meetings schedules were week specific, how...
•Robot.
Robot.
by: Seamus Dolly
With the release of I ROBOT, one is immediately reminded of Professor Ken Warwick, and the research or experiments that he was involved in. His chip implant in 1998 was the source of some curiosity and debate. His building was retro-wired to interact with his movement or position within it. Doors could open and lights were configured to illuminate his journey throughout. So, his environmental control was somewhat extended, in this case to the limits, or within the...
•Virally Imperfect.
Virally Imperfect. by Seamus DollyA virus is sometimes described as the smallest infectious agent known to man.A virus is sometimes described as a self-replicating program, known to man and machineThe commonality here, relates to its effect in terms of their transmission properties, nuisance value, and their often-sickening effect.Its’ nature is as it was intended.This holds true where man and machine are the designated recipients or targets to infiltrate.Both viruses have evolved to...
•What Dreams Will Come!
What Dreams Will Come!
by: Seamus Dolly
As the pioneers of aviation took to the air (not skies), in their human powered mechanical contraptions, what must have been said and thought?
Complicated pulleys and chain systems enclosing a lunatic, perhaps!
Or overly optimistic cyclists with designs above their head, even.
Yet they left us with the beginnings of international and inter-planetary travel, its’ destinations, physical and figurative.
What of the scientists and chemists, self-sent...

You have to try this, at least, once! by Seamus DollyThere is a unique freedom of expression that is available with websites/webpages, comparable to none. Text, images, hyperlinks, forms, specialized scripts, counters, clocks, pop-up's and unders, and thousands of other features, can be easily enough manipulated, to present almost anything that you want, to the on-line world. If you like, access can be limited, to the few people, of your choosing that have/or have access to, your URL(...

Your Fingertips and a Phone-line, perhaps.
by: Seamus Dolly
Never, before the Internet and its components, did a regular person have such cheap access to such a wide database.
With it comes an opportunity.
To download music or play games, if that is what you want, but never, could a person rapidly gain access to information!
Never could a person disperse information to such a degree, either.
With it comes a freedom to express ideas, creations, or business concepts, which held previous...
