This is a program that allows you log in to a Unix computer via a text-based interface. If you have an account on a Telnet server, you can access certain resources on the system such your home directory, your e-mail account, FTP files, etc. The downside of Telnet is that, to use it, you need to use Unix commands, which can be a challenge.

System software refers to the files and programs that make up your computers operating system. System files include libraries of functions, system services, drivers for printers and other hardware, system preferences, and other configuration files. The programs that are part of the system software include assemblers, compilers, file management tools, system utilites, and debuggers.
The system software is installed on your computer when you install your operating system. You can update the software by running programs such as Windows Update for Windows or Software Update for Mac OS X. Unlike application programs, however, system software is not meant to be run by the end user. For example, while you might use your Web browser every day, you probably dont have much use for an assembler program (unless, of course, you are a computer programmer).
Since system software runs at the most basic level of your computer, it is called low-level software. It generates the user interface and allows the operating system to interact with the hardware. Fortunately, you dont have to worry about what the system software is doing since it just runs in the background. Its nice to think you are working at a high-level anyway.

Yeat is a derogatory reaction to display disagreement or discontent with either a person, situation, opinion or proposed situation.

Those who dont understand the usage of the word will often say that it has the capability to take on any meaning the speaker intends. This is completely wrong.

Yeat most often replaces the words and phrases,

A programming language is a set of commands, instructions, and other syntax use to create a software program. Languages that programmers use to write code are called high-level languages. This code can be compiled into a low-level language, which is recognized directly by the computer hardware.
High-level languages are designed to be easy to read and understand. This allows programmers to write source code in a natural fashion, using logical words and symbols. For example, reserved words like function, while, if, and else are used in most major programming languages. Symbols like <, >, ==, and != are common operators. Many high-level languages are similar enough that programmers can easily understand source code written in multiple languages.
Examples of high-level languages include C , Java, Perl, and PHP. Languages like C and Java are called compiled languages since the source code must first be compiled in order to run. Languages like Perl and PHP are called interpreted languages since the source code can be run through an interpreter without being compiled. Generally, compiled languages are used to create software applications, while interpreted languages are used for running scripts, such as those used to generate content for dynamic websites.
Low-level languages include assembly and machine languages. An assembly language contains a list of basic instructions and is much more difficult to read than a high-level language. In rare cases, a programmer may decide to code a basic program in an assembly language to ensure it operates as efficiently as possible. An assembler can be used to translate the assembly code into machine code. The machine code, or machine language, contains a series of binary codes that are understood directly by a computers CPU. Needless to say, machine language is not designed to be human readable.

The Correct past tense of the word Squeeze.

Stands for Power over Ethernet. PoE provides electrical current over an Ethernet connection. It powers electronic devices via Ethernet cabling without the need for batteries or a wall outlet.
Multiple PoE standards exist, but they all provide both data and electrical power over a single cable. One method, known as Alternative A, uses the same wires within the Ethernet cable to transmit power and data. Alternative B uses one set of wires for sending power and another set of wires for transmitting data.
Technically, the PoE standards are defined as a subset of the IEEE 802.3 collection of standards. Examples include:
In order to power a device via Ethernet, a PoE adapter is required. This device, also called an Ethernet injector, plugs into a standard power outlet and provides power to one or more Ethernet ports. A broad range of PoE devices exist, including:
PoE injector
Audio device with DC and PoE power options

Many websites that host online communities allow you to create you own personal URL within the website. This custom URL typically serves as the Web address of your profile page and can be shared and bookmarked by other users.

Examples of websites that allow you to choose a personal URL include social networking sites like Facebook, photo sharing sites like Flickr, and various Web forums. Users can choose a custom name, which will then become part of their personal URL. For example, a personal URL on Facebook may be http://www.facebook.com/username. The username might be a made up name, such as pinkbunny77 or your actual name, such as john.johnson.

If you have an account on a website that allows you to select a personal URL, but have not chosen one yet, the Web address of your profile page may include a unique ID instead of a username. For example, the Web address of a Facebook profile page might be http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1234567890. Since a username is much easier to remember than a long string of numbers, selecting a username is usually recommended. When you choose your personal URL for Facebook or another website, make sure you decide on one you really like, since you may not be able to change it.

Personal URLs are also called purls, personalized URLs, or custom Web addresses. They are different from personal home pages, which are created and published on a users own website.

A pebibyte is a unit of data storage that equals 2 to the 50th power, or 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes.
While a petabyte can be estimated as 10^15 or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes, a pebibyte is exactly 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes. This is to avoid the ambiguity associated with the size of petabytes. A pebibyte is 1,024 tebibytes and precedes the exbibyte unit of measurement.

Abbreviation: PiB

Stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended. Once again, Ex is abbreviated with an X instead of an E. Most desktop computers include one or more PCI slots for expanding the computers I/O capabilities. Common PCI cards include network cards, sound cards, and video cards. In the early 1990s, when PCI was first introduced, the 66 MHz speed of PCI was more than sufficient for PCI cards available at the time. However, a decade later, expansion cards supported much faster data transfer rates and therefore became faster than the PCI bus would support. To prevent the interface from becoming a bottleneck, PCI-X was introduced.
The first version of PCI-X supported data transfer rates of 133 MHz, which is more than twice as fast as the original PCI standard. Then along came PCI-X 2.0, which can run at speeds of 266 or 533 MHz. These speeds are fast enough to support Gigabit Ethernet cards and video capture devices without slowing them down. PCI-X cards can only be installed in PCI-X slots, but the slots themselves are backwards compatible with PCI cards.

Lua is a programming language commonly used to extend, or add functionality, to software applications. It uses simple syntax (similar to C), allowing it to work with a number of other languages. Lua has a wide array of uses, but it is commonly used as an extension language for web applications and video games.
Lua is a scripting language, since the code can be parsed and run on-the-fly by an interpreter. However, like Python Lua code can also be compiled into an executable binary file. Pre-compiling a Lua script with the luac compiler can improve performance, so Lua code is often compiled when it is embedded in an existing program.
While Lua is a designed to be simple and portable, it is also a highly capable language. Lua supports a wide variety of data types, including strings, floating point numbers, and arrays. It also includes many different operators for performing calculations, comparisons, and logic operations. Lua also supports functions, loops, and if-then statements. The language even includes garbage collection for automatic memory management.
Since Lua is relatively lightweight – meaning it does not use more system resources than necessary – it is an ideal language for performing basic tasks. For example, a programmer may code a video game in C , but use Lua to manage the characters and objects within the game. The simplicity of Lua can make it easier to code individual aspects of a program without the overhead other languages require.

A driver, or device driver, is a software program that enables a specific hardware device to work with a computers operating system. Drivers may be required for internal components, such as video cards and optical media drives, as well as external peripherals, such as printers and monitors.
Most modern hardware is plug and play, meaning the devices will work without requiring driver installation. However, even if a hardware device is recognized by the operating system, installing the correct drivers may provide additional options and functionality for the device. For example, most mice work automatically when they are connected to a PC. However, installing the appropriate mouse driver may allow you to customize the function of each button and adjust the mouse sensitivity. Some keyboard drivers allow you to assign functions to specific keys, such as controlling the volume or opening specific applications.
There are several different ways to install drivers. For some devices, such as printers, the operating system may automatically find and install the correct drivers when the device is connected. In other cases, drivers can be installed from a CD or DVD provided with the hardware. If no disc is available, you can typically download the latest drivers from the manufacturers website from either the Support or Downloads section. Most downloadable drivers include an installer that automatically installs the necessary files when you open the downloaded file.

Digital information is stored using a series of ones and zeros. Computers are digital machines because they can only read information as on or off -- 1 or 0. This method of computation, also known as the binary system, may seem rather simplistic, but can be used to represent incredible amounts of data. CDs and DVDs can be used to store and play back high-quality sound and video even though they consist entirely of ones and zeros.
Unlike computers, humans perceive information in analog. We capture auditory and visual signals as a continuous stream. Digital devices, on the other hand, estimate this information using ones and zeros. The rate of this estimation, called the sampling rate, combined with how much information is included in each sample (the bit depth), determines how accurate the digital estimation is.
For example, a typical CD audio track is sampled at 44.1 KHz (44,100 samples per second) with a bit depth of 16 bits. This provides a high-quality estimation of an analog audio signal that sounds realistic the human ear. However, a higher-quality audio format, such as a DVD-Audio disc, may be sampled at 96 KHz and have a bit depth of 24 bits. The same song played on both discs will sound more smooth and dynamic on the DVD-Audio disc.
Since digital information only estimates analog data, an analog signal is actually more accurate than a digital signal. However, computers only work with digital information, so storing data digitally makes more sense. Unlike analog data, digital information can also be copied, edited, and moved without losing any quality. Because of the benefits digital information offers, it has become the most common way of storing and reading data.

Short for Digital Camera Images. DCIM is the standard name of the root folder digital cameras use to store digital photos. Therefore, when you connect a digital camera to your computer, the disk that appears on your desktop (Mac) or in My Computer (Windows) will most likely have a folder named DCIM inside it.
The DCIM directory is part of the DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System) developed by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association). This file system was originally established in December 1998 and has since become the standard file system used by all digital cameras. Therefore, whenever you connect a digital camera or smartphone to your PC, your computer will look for the DCIM folder. Similarly, if you insert a memory card into a card reader connected to your computer, it will scan the memory card for a folder named DCIM.
The DCIM folder provides a standard way for computers to recognize and import images from connected devices. For example, if your computer finds a DCIM folder on a memory card, it may automatically open your default image organization program or image importing utility. This allows all types of computers to find and import images from cameras made by different manufacturers.
While most computers include software that can automatically import all images from the DCIM folder, you can also manually browse through the images stored within the DCIM directory. However, you may have to browse through multiple subdirectories to find all the images. Additionally, your camera may save thumbnail images along with the full size images. By using a program or utility that imports digital photos, you can make sure to import all the full size images from the DCIM folder to your computer correctly.
