Some other people believe that it is just like big foot. As people hear about it, they believe it more, which makes some think its real when i

What Is Distributed Computing?
Distributed computing is computing distributed among computers to solve a huge task. Usually you have to download a client, and your computer's idle time is when you make this happen. This is neat because you can walk the streets saying "I helped with MIT reserching effects on protein!" . It's a cheap alternitive to geting a supercomputer or something, especially if the budget is tight. I found the link on google, but I lost it. Look it up. Check this out!
What Is A Black Hole (another Theory To Them)

Recommended Server-side Programming Language
Hello, I'm starting to play with web design and stuff and would like a recommendation from this knowlegeable forum on what is a good server side programming language. I've got some experience in Java running PC-based applications but that's pretty much it, never done applets or anything else. Also have been playing with perl and php. My use will be primarily creating records that will be accesible by only using a password, what would be the best way to accomodate that? Thanks in ad
[b][size=4]What is peer-to-peer?[/size][/b] Peer-to-peer (better known as P2P sharing) is an advanced networking system that is way different from the client-server model. What is the client-server model? Well, any damn website is the best example of a client-server model. We, as visitors, are the clients who request the server to show the webpage. So it basically is a one-to-one correspondence. The client requests a page and the server obliges. The same logic applies for sharing a file.

I love this word, so I thought I'd share it with all of you. 'Niggling' refers to being petty--especially when arguing about things. For instance, arguing about how long someone took to get ready to leave the house would fall into this catagory. As well as most other squables between siblings, or people flaming eachother on the internet.
[quote]Copyleft is a general method for making a program or other work free, and requiring all modified and extended versions of the program to be free as well. The simplest way to make a program free software is to put it in the public domain, uncopyrighted. This allows people to share the program and their improvements, if they are so minded. But it also allows uncooperative people to convert the program into proprietary software. They can make changes, many or few, and distribute the result

What Are The Pause Break And Scroll Lock Keys?
All of us are quite familiar with our keyboards, some of us more than others, of course, but for the most of us, there are two keys on it that we've found no use for, nor can we even begin to find it. These two keys are (at least, on American keyboards) the Scroll Lock key, and the Pause Break key. Let's start with Scroll Lock. Scroll Lock is a remnant of earlier computers and their programs, providing a way to lock all scrolling functions in a given program, mostly for convenience, esp

I Found Out What Lorem Ipsum Was Yesterday.
[quote]Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently wit

How Do Cameras Capture Pictures?
In the olden days, cameras were made in the stylish fashion of "camera obscura, " where basically a hole was made in the wall of a box, and on the other side there was a film piece there to "capture" the picture. Of course, we've gotten a lot more advanced than that since then. The basic workings of a film camera rely on that basic mentioned concept, but now we use fancy things like mirrors, photographic film/plates, and other doodads to decrease the capture time, impr
HINT: It's not a button on your keyboard I was watching a NOVA program last night on gamma rays and discovered lots of interesting things, including this thing they called "red shift." For those of you who can remember your science classes, light produces a spectrum of color: blue-green-yellow-orange-red. Since scientists can't pull out a measuring stick to measure distance in light years, they use the spectrum of light to determine approximate distances for things like stars
You know what a series is: A grouping of simular or alike objects or related subjects. You find them in sports, movies and in books. You can find them in many other places too.

I first encountered the series when I was babysitting when I was in my teens. After the kids had gone to bed and were sleeping I was looking through the tape collection and fou

Using RAID can improve performance or security of data and data transfer on any computer (that has drives that support). RAID is a system for sharing or duplicating data among various harddisks. Depending on which level one sets RAID up a person can get increased data integrity, fault-tolerence, and/or capactity than single disk drives. RAID also makes the computer see multiple drives as one logical drive. RAID is typically used on servers, either to provide more efficiency or to backup all dat
