Because the military operates many computers at what is called system high, in which all users are cleared for the highest level of information the network possesses, a sophisticated insider who became a spy would have considerable access. The spy could transmit information to a less closely watched part of the network -- or to an outsider -- without appearing to do so by using what is known as a covert channel. This involves signaling the secret message the agent wants to send in binary code by making minute changes in the speed or the order in which the "bits" of other...
...ability to store and transmit images that has made still-video technology attractive to professionals, from architects to fashion photographers. Real estate brokers, for example, use it to show pictures of houses to clients in distant cities. Among the biggest consumers have been news organizations, which use the cameras to cover everything from sports events to political conventions. When the Oscar for best picture is awarded in late March, USA Today plans to capture the moment with a professional Sony still-video system and transmit the pictures to printing plants in minutes. The shots will not be as sharp...
...Health and Human Services, said AIDS would make black death -- the bubonic plague that wiped out as much as a third of Europe's population in the Middle Ages -- "pale by comparison." In a frightening, controversial book, sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson contended that toilet seats could transmit the AIDS virus and that the deadly disease would run rampant among heterosexuals...
...many other diseases, AIDS remains fatal; there is no known cure. It is still spreading rapidly among intravenous drug abusers. They pass along the virus to those who share needles with them or to sexual partners, both male and female. Women who are part of the drug scene often transmit the virus to their unborn children, almost surely dooming them to an early death. Some researchers fear that AIDS could eventually spread, through heterosexual intercourse, from addicts to the population at large. But so far the epidemic has confined itself, for the most part, to gay communities, to the drug...
...unspectacled viewers will not see a blurry image, as they did with the '50s technology, used in movies like House of Wax. A new process, Nuoptix 3D, uses regular cameras and delivers a normal picture. The illusion of depth is created by different-color lenses in the glasses, which transmit the image 16 milliseconds slower to the right eye than to the left. One catch: to get the 3-D effect, there has to be constant motion on the screen. So even if the game slows to a crawl, the halftime action will be fast and furious...
