computer geek n.   1.

computron /kom'pyoo-tron`/   n. 1. [common] A notional unit of    computing power combining instruction speed and storage capacity,    dimensioned roughly in instructions-per-second times    megabytes-of-main-store times megabytes-of-mass-storage.   "That    machine can't run GNU Emacs, it doesn't have enough computrons!"    This usage is usually found in metaphors that treat computing power    as a fungible commodity good, like a crop yield or diesel    horsepower.   See {bitty box}, {Get a real computer!}, {toy},    {crank}.   2. A mythical subatomic particle that bears the unit    quantity of computation or information, in much the same way that an    electron bears one unit of electric charge (see also {bogon}).   An    elaborate pseudo-scientific theory of computrons has been developed    based on the physical fact that the molecules in a solid object move    more rapidly as it is heated.   It is argued that an object melts    because the molecules have lost their information about where they    are supposed to be (that is, they have emitted computrons).   This    explains why computers get so hot and require air conditioning; they    use up computrons.   Conversely, it should be possible to cool down    an object by placing it in the path of a computron beam.   It is    believed that this may also explain why machines that work at the    factory fail in the computer room: the computrons there have been    all used up by the other hardware.   (The popularity of this theory    probably owes something to the "Warlock" stories by Larry Niven, the    best known being "What Good is a Glass Dagger?", in which magic is    fueled by an exhaustible natural resource called `mana'.)

computer ethics          Ethics is the field of study that is concerned       with questions of value, that is, judgments about what human       behaviour is "good" or "bad".   Ethical judgments are no       different in the area of computing from those in any other       area.   Computers raise problems of privacy, ownership, theft,       and power, to name but a few.          Computer ethics can be grounded in one of four basic       world-views: Idealism, Realism, Pragmatism, or Existentialism.       Idealists believe that reality is basically ideas and that       ethics therefore involves conforming to ideals.   Realists       believe that reality is basically nature and that ethics       therefore involves acting according to what is natural.       Pragmatists believe that reality is not fixed but is in       process and that ethics therefore is practical (that is,       concerned with what will produce socially-desired results).       Existentialists believe reality is self-defined and that       ethics therefore is individual (that is, concerned only with       one's own conscience).   Idealism and Realism can be considered       ABSOLUTIST worldviews because they are based on something       fixed (that is, ideas or nature, respectively).   Pragmatism       and Existentialism can be considered RELATIVIST worldviews       because they are based or something relational (that is,       society or the individual, respectively).          Thus ethical judgments will vary, depending on the judge's       world-view.   Some examples:          First consider theft.   Suppose a university's computer is used       for sending an e-mail message to a friend or for conducting a       full-blown private business (billing, payroll, inventory,       etc.).   The absolutist would say that both activities are       unethical (while recognising a difference in the amount of       wrong being done).   A relativist might say that the latter       activities were wrong because they tied up too much memory and       slowed down the machine, but the e-mail message wasn't wrong       because it had no significant effect on operations.          Next consider privacy.   An instructor uses her account to       acquire the cumulative grade point average of a student who is       in a class which she instructs.   She obtained the password for       this restricted information from someone in the Records Office       who erroneously thought that she was the student's advisor.       The absolutist would probably say that the instructor acted       wrongly, since the only person who is entitled to this       information is the student and his or her advisor.   The       relativist would probably ask why the instructor wanted the       information.   If she replied that she wanted it to be sure       that her grading of the student was consistent with the       student's overall academic performance record, the relativist       might agree that such use was acceptable.          Finally, consider power.   At a particular university, if a       professor wants a computer account, all she or he need do is       request one but a student must obtain faculty sponsorship in       order to receive an account.   An absolutist (because of a       proclivity for hierarchical thinking) might not have a problem       with this divergence in procedure.   A relativist, on the other       hand, might question what makes the two situations essentially       different (e.g. are faculty assumed to have more need for       computers than students?   Are students more likely to cause       problems than faculty?   Is this a hold-over from the days of       "in loco parentis"?).          {"Philosophical Bases of Computer Ethics", Professor Robert       N.

computer literacy          Basic skill in use of computers, from the       perspective of such skill being a necessary societal skill.          The term was coined by Andrew Molnar, while director of the       Office of Computing Activities at the {National Science       Foundation}.          "We started computer literacy in '72 [...] We coined that       phrase.   It's sort of ironic.   Nobody knows what computer       literacy is.   Nobody can define it.   And the reason we       selected [it] was because nobody could define it, and [...] it       was a broad enough term that you could get all of these       programs together under one roof" (cited in Aspray, W.,       (September 25, 1991) "Interview with Andrew Molnar," OH       234. Center for the History of Information Processing, Charles       Babbage Institute, University of Minnesota).          The term, as a coinage, is similar to earlier coinages, such       as "visual literacy", which {Merriam-Webster       (http://www.m-w.com/)} dates to 1971, and the more recent       "media literacy".          (1998-09-07)

Computer Telephone Integration          (CTI or "- Telephony -") Enabling computers       to know about and control telephony functions such as making       and receiving voice, {fax}, and data calls, telephone       directory services, and {caller identification}.   The       integration of telephone and computer systems and is a major       development in the evolution of the automated office.          CTI is not a new concept - such links have been used in the       past in large telephone networks - but only dedicated call       centres could justify the costs of the required equipment       installation.   Primary telephone service providers are now       beginning to offer information services such as {Automatic       Number Identification} and {Dialled Number Identification       Service} on a scale wide enough for its implementation to       bring real value to business or residential telephone usage.       A new generation of applications ({middleware}) is being       developed as a result of standardisation and availability of       low cost computer-telephony links.   This can link {personal       computers} with telephones and/or a local area server with a       {PBX}.   Leading telephony and {software} vendors such as       {AT&T}, {British Telecom}, {IBM}, {Novell}, {Microsoft} and       {Intel} are developing better telephony services and       capabilities which should eventually enable low cost CTI.          The main {CTI} functions are integrating {messaging} with       {databases}, {word processors} etc.; controlling voice, {fax},       and {e-mail} messaging systems from a single {application       program}; graphical call control - using a {graphical user       interface} to perform functions such as making and receiving       calls, forwarding and conferencing; call and {data}       association - provision of information about the caller from       databases or other applications automatically before the call       is answered or transferred; {speech synthesis} and {speech       recognition}; automatic logging of call related information       for invoicing purposes or callback.          Typical productivity benefits are improved customer service;       increased productivity; reduced costs; enhanced workflow       automation; protected investment in computers and telephony;       computerised telephony intelligence.          IBM were one of the first with workable CTI, now sold as       "CallPath".   {Callware}'s {Phonetastic} is typical of the new       breed of {middleware}.          CTI came out of the 1980s call centre boom, where it linked       central servers and {IVR}s with {PBX}es to provide call       transfer and {screen popping}.   In the 1990s, efforts were       made by several vendors, such as IBM, Novell {TSAPI} and       Microsoft {TAPI}, to provide a desktop version that would       allow control of a desktop telephone and assist in {hot       desking}.          Desktop CTI was made obsolete by the mobile phone revolution,       e-mail and, above all, {VoIP}, and CTI has never advanced       outside the call centre.          See also {Telephony Application Programming Interface}.          (2003-12-04)

computron          /kom'pyoo-tron"/ 1. A notional unit of computing power       combining instruction speed and storage capacity, dimensioned       roughly in instructions-per-second times       megabytes-of-main-store times megabytes-of-mass-storage.       "That machine can't run GNU Emacs, it doesn't have enough       computrons!"   This usage is usually found in metaphors that       treat computing power as a fungible commodity good, like a       crop yield or diesel horsepower.   See {bitty box}, {Get a real       computer!}, {toy}, {crank}.          2. A mythical subatomic particle that bears the unit quantity       of computation or information, in much the same way that an       electron bears one unit of electric charge (see also {bogon}).       An elaborate pseudo-scientific theory of computrons has been       developed based on the physical fact that the molecules in a       solid object move more rapidly as it is heated.   It is argued       that an object melts because the molecules have lost their       information about where they are supposed to be (that is, they       have emitted computrons).   This explains why computers get so       hot and require air conditioning; they use up computrons.       Conversely, it should be possible to cool down an object by       placing it in the path of a computron beam.   It is believed       that this may also explain why machines that work at the       factory fail in the computer room: the computrons there have       been all used up by the other hardware.   (This theory probably       owes something to the "Warlock" stories by Larry Niven, the       best known being "What Good is a Glass Dagger?", in which       magic is fuelled by an exhaustible natural resource called       "mana".)          [{Jargon File}]

Government leaders are moving toward    restoring fiscal and monetary discipline and have established good    working relations with international financial institutions. Growth,    starting from a low base, has been strong in 1991-94. Despite such    positive developments, the reconstruction effort faces many tough    challenges because of the persistence of internal political divisions    and the related lack of confidence of foreign investors. Rural    Cambodia, where 90% of about 9.5 million Khmer live, remains mired in    poverty. The almost total lack of basic infrastructure in the    countryside will hinder development and will contribute to a growing    imbalance in growth between urban and rural areas over the near term.    Moreover, the government's lack of experience in administering    economic and technical assistance programs and rampant corruption    among officials will slow the growth of critical public sector    investment.
