Computer Security Phone Lines
1,300 words
Hackers cost governments, corporations, and even
normal people billions of dollars per year. You
might ask, sure, there are those out there for
profit, but what about the college student who was
just doing it for fun? Profit or fun, it's still
theft. In some cases theft of money, in others,
theft of information. Just because a person uses a
computer should not impact the severity of their
punishment. A murderer's punishment is not
affected by which weapon he chooses to employ, so

Nausea And Vomiting Thousands Of Years

marijuana's medical uses; a history that goes back

Imagine having a headache and not having aspirin
to take, or being diabetic and not being able to
take certain types of insulin (Williams 3). It
seems impossible that these drugs could be
unavailable to humans, but they would not be
attainable had scientists not tested these drugs
on non-animal subjects. Contrary to what many
people believe, testing drugs on animals often
give defective results. More than 205, 000 new
drugs are marketed worldwide every year, most

Koproski And Oldstone Microbe Hunters Book
