37). The speedup of code refers to the extent to which performance gain is achieved by using multiple processors to run code in parallel compared to a single processor (Sadjadi, 2009)
In addition, because genetic algorithms operate at the population level instead of the individual level, they can be designed to include real-world factors such as population densities, frequency dependence and coevolution in their analyses (Clark & Mangel, 2000). In sum, search algorithms that are based on genetic principles "evolve" over time, continually becoming more efficient in their operation (Sunal, Kerr & Sunal, 2003)
Also available are an array of performance tools, debuggers and libraries. Operates the Linux system Architecture The Blacklight system features a very-large, scalable, shared-memory architecture with 512 eight-core Intel Xeon 7500 (Nehalem) processors for a grand total of 4,096 cores (Trader, 2010)
One of the most prominent of these constraints identified by Faulkenauer was the fact that conventional crossover operators functioned with the objects in a group rather than the groups. To overcome this constraint, Falkenauer suggested an innovative encoding approach and operators that could manipulate the groups rather than the objects in the groups and termed the approach a heuristic grouping genetic algorithm (Williams & Magazine, 2007)
Each time the spreadsheet program runs, the virus runs, too, and it has the chance to reproduce (by attaching to other programs) or wreak havoc." (Brain, 2004) or in the case of a worm, "a computer program that has the ability to copy itself from machine to machine," can similarly disable the system

"13% of heavy Internet users reported spending less time attending events outside the house and 65% of the heavy Internet users reported spending less time watching television." (Nielson, 2004) Thus, the computer revolution is here to stay, but not all of its effects may be salutary in terms of personal life or workplace productivity
Among those employees aware of such goings-on, 43% say it reduces the amount of work that gets done." (Wahlgren, 2004) Telecommuting, conversely, can cause the opposite problem -- isolating employees from the input of other individuals, and also the system of rewards that comes from having a manager praise -- or critique one's performance in a personal basis, rather than through emails or online correspondence
Accurate collection of revenue ensures that the organization can cater for its expenses thus maintain its operation. All organizations need to maintain financial records safely thus the need for institutions to use computer information software (Kurbel 138)
This explains why the quality of products or services in these countries is better than the developing countries. The uses of computer information systems software in applications have some setbacks which need to be addressed to ensure that the systems are effective (Oz 180)
The exposure of client information may result to loss of competitive advantage over the rival company's thus reducing revenue collected. The computer software need to be updated regularly to ensure that they are free from bugs (Stair and George 171)
Advantages of the Internet for Leisure Activities In addition to the investments made in applications, frameworks and platforms for the development of enterprise applications, there is an equally high level of investment being made in all forms of entertainment and leisure-based applications that use the Internet as their foundation. One of the most pervasive is Netflix, the online movie service that includes the option of also sending the movies via packages to homes and businesses of its customers (Bassamboo, Kumar, Randhawa, 1532)
These and many other innovations have made the Internet indispensable in assisting students attain their educational goals. Disadvantages of Internet in Education The distraction of social media sites including Facebook and its ubiquitous membership throughout junior high, high school and colleges throughout the world have served to derail even the most promising and disciplined academic career (Bernoff, Li, 40)
One company in particular has shown the full impact of the Internet on their operations is Toyota and their reliance on the Web as the infrastructure of their Toyota Production System (TPS) (Shook, 32). The TPS is one of the most advanced supply chain networks globally and has successfully implement cross-supplier communication and collaboration, in effect creating a global knowledge-sharing system (Dyer, Nobeoka, 345)
The Internet is a very strong catalyst of positive change in global education as a result. Of the many innovations from a learning standpoint occurring today, the ability to tailor learning programs to the specific needs of students through a technique called scaffolding shows significant potential as well (Najjar, 37, 38)
Of the myriad of activities in this area of society today, the most compelling in terms of their use of the Internet is the development of public and private trading exchanges, automated supply chain management networks that stretch across the world, and the ability to create a high level of communication and collaboration throughput an enterprise. One company in particular has shown the full impact of the Internet on their operations is Toyota and their reliance on the Web as the infrastructure of their Toyota Production System (TPS) (Shook, 32)
The department of crime control and prevention has gone to divide this into two different categories. Hard technology is technology like CCTV, street lights, and tasers and metal detectors (Byrne & Marx, 2011) All of these aforementioned things have made it easier to prevent crime
It is true that short-term health effects cannot result from the doses that are given from the security scanners. Nonetheless, the long-term effects of this ionizing radiation have been linked to increased risk for cancer (European Union, 2012) Technology has made safety and security more advance but it also made people more vulnerable as well
Where the police are coming up with better ways of preventing and fighting of crime, the criminal are coming up with ways of breaking the laws. It was stated that terrorists plotting attacks in India and Pakistan are able to monitor global news broadcasts, online reporting and social media as well (Goodman, 2012) Furthermore, with increasing use of robots, drug traffickers and international organized crime groups are using this technology for their dirty work
Weaknesses Generally, there is also a potential downside to the cross-promotional effect of products: namely, to the extent consumers draw conclusions about all company products from its failures. In 2005, Apple suffered from this principle twice, after many iPods were released with batteries that performed poorly and iPod Nanos were released with screens that malfunctioned ((Akin, Dunford, & Palmer, 2006)
