What you need in order to access on-line music distribution services : To get to the Internet Underground Music Archive(IUMA) RockNet, Kaleidospace and metaverse. com, you’ll be best off with full Internet access, and a sound card that gives your computer audio-capability, unless you own a Macintosh, which already has sound capacity built in. If you have full Internet access, connect to the World Wide Web(WWW). The quickest way to each service is to use your favorite WWW browser. With the more-powerful Mosaic browser, you can listen to the music on-line, but you need a very powerful computer. Point you browser at the following Universal Resource Locators(URL) : IUMA, RockNet, Kaleisdospace, metaverse. com. The home page of each site usually has a how-to guide. If your system doesn’t allow WWW access, but lets you use gopher(like Concordia University's Pavo system), go to your main command prompt, and type in gopher URI. for site. Once at the site, you will have to download the sound files to your Internet system, or directly to your PC(assuming you use a terminal server.) 1, record 1, English, - on%2Dline%20music

Yet there are limits to the technology as it now exists. Even with a high-speed modem and the necessary sound card, a three- or four-minute song can take anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours to download. It can also use up a large amount of computer storage space. 1, record 1, English, - on%2Dline%20music

In order to penetrate a computer, a virus must be given a chance to execute. Since executable objects on a PC are known, all virus attack points can be listed. By making sure that the system executes only legitimate, virus-free code, the system will be protected from infection. In addition to the obvious executable files... any file which contains executable code has to be treated as a potential virus carrier. 1, record 3, English, - potential%20virus%20carrier

Pour pouvoir pénétrer dans un ordinateur, il faut qu'un virus ait la possibilité de s'exécuter. Étant donné que l'on connaît les objets exécutables d'un PC, tous les points d'attaque du virus peuvent être recensés. On protégera le système contre les infections en faisant en sorte que seules soient exécutées les codifications légitimes ne contenant pas de virus. En plus des fichiers exécutables évidents [...] tout fichier qui contient une codification exécutable doit être traité comme un vecteur potentiel de virus. 1, record 3, French, - vecteur%20potentiel%20de%20virus
