The term Copper was the original, unshortened word, originally used in Britain to mean someone who captures. (In British English the term Cop is recorded (Shorter Oxford Dictionary) in the sense of To Capture from 1704, derived from the Latin Capere via the Old French Caper). The common myth is that its a term referring to the police officers buttons which are made of copper.

RE: Insurgent
A term that relates to someone fighting in a [guerrilla war]/[insurrection]. It basically means somebody fighting or rebelling against their home country (ex. someone in Libya shooting at pro-governmnt forces.) However, to the Bush Administration and anyone who watches [Fox News], it means a [terrorist] or someone fighting against U.S troops or any of their allies.
Does not mean a terrorist, Fox News and Bush may think so, but that isnt true at all. -
RE: Insurgent
A [politically correct] term in the subversive liberal mainstream media for terrorists in Iraq.

Web Application
A web application or web app is a software program that runs on a web server. Unlike traditional desktop applications, which are launched by your operating system, web apps must be accessed through a web browser.
Web apps have several advantages over desktop applications. Since they run inside web browsers, developers do not need to develop web apps for multiple platforms. For example, a single application that runs in Chrome will work on both Windows and OS X. Developers do not need to distribute software updates to users when the web app is updated. By updating the application on the server, all users have access to the updated version.
From a user standpoint, a web app may provide a more consistent user interface across multiple platforms because the appearance is dependent on the browser rather than the operating system. Additionally, the data you enter into a web app is processed and saved remotely. This allows you to access the same data from multiple devices, rather than transferring files between computer systems.
While web applications offer several benefits, they do have some disadvantages compared to desktop applications. Since they do not run directly from the operating system, they have limited access to system resources, such as the CPU, memory, and the file system. Therefore, high-end programs, such as video production and other media apps generally perform better as desktop applications. Web apps are also entirely dependent on the web browser. If your browser crashes, for example, you may lose your unsaved progress. Also, browser updates may cause incompatibilities with web apps, creating unexpected issues.
Some people prefer desktop apps, while others prefer web applications. Therefore, many software companies now offer both desktop and web versions of their most popular programs. Common examples include Microsoft Office, Apple iWork, and Intuit TurboTax. In most cases, files saved in the online version are compatible with the desktop version and vice versa. For example, if you save a .TAX2013 file in TurboTax Online, you can open and edit the file with the desktop version. -
UDP
Stands for User Datagram Protocol. It is part of the TCP/IP suite of protocols used for data transferring. UDP is a known as a stateless protocol, meaning it doesnt acknowledge that the packets being sent have been received. For this reason, the UDP protocol is typically used for streaming media. While you might see skips in video or hear some fuzz in audio clips, UDP transmission prevents the playback from stopping completely.

Traceroute
When computers communicate over the Internet, there are often many connections made along the way. This is because the Internet is made up of a network of networks, and two different computers may be on two separate networks in different parts of the world. Therefore, if a computer is to communicate with another system on the Internet, it must send data through a series of small networks, eventually getting to the Internet backbone, and then again traveling to a smaller network where the destination computer resides.
These individual network connections, called hops, typically go unnoticed by the average user. After all, why bother tracking all the various connections when you are only interested in communicating with the destination computer? However, if a connection cannot be made or is taking a unusually long time, tracing the path of connections along the way can prove to be helpful. This is exactly what the traceroute command does.
Traceroute is a TCP/IP utility that allows a user to trace a network connection from one location to another, recording every hop along the way. The command can be run from a Unix or DOS command line by typing tracert [domain name], where [domain name] is either the domain name or the IP address of the system you are trying to reach. A traceroute can also be done using various networking utilities, such as Apples Network Utility for Mac OS X.
When a traceroute is run, it returns a list of network hops and displays the host name and IP address of each connection. It also returns the amount of time it took for each connection to take place (usually in milliseconds). This shows if there were any delays in establishing the connection. Therefore, if a network connection is slow or unresponsive, a traceroute can often explain why the problem exists and also show the location of the problem. -
RE: Syntax
Every spoken language has a general set of rules for how words and sentences should be structured. These rules are collectively known as the language syntax. In computer programming, syntax serves the same purpose, defining how declarations, functions, commands, and other statements should be arranged.
Many computer programming languages share similar syntax rules, while others have a unique syntax design. For example, C and Java use a similar syntax, while Perl has many characteristics that are not seen in either the C or Java languages.
A programs source code must have correct syntax in order to compile correctly and be made into a program. In fact, it must have perfect syntax, or the program will fail to compile and produce a syntax error. A syntax error can be as simple as a missing parenthesis or a forgotten semicolon at the end of a statement. Even these small errors will keep the source code from compiling.
Fortunately, most integrated development environments (IDEs) include a parser, which detects syntax errors within the source code. Modern parsers can even highlight syntax errors before a program is compiled, making it easy for the programmer to locate and fix them.
NOTE: Syntax errors are also called compile-time errors, since they can prevent a program from compiliing. Errors that occur in a program after it has been compiled are called runtime errors, since they occur when the program is running. -
Subdirectory
Computers store data in a series of directories. Each directory, or folder, may contain files or other directories. If a directory is located within another directory, it is called a subdirectory (or subfolder) of that folder. Subdirectories may refer to folders located directly within a folder, as well as folders that are stored in other folders within a folder. For example, the main directory of a file system is the root directory. Therefore, all other folders are subdirectories of the root folder.
The contents of your computers operating system are organized using subdirectories. After all, you can imagine how hard it would be to locate documents on your computer if they were all stored in a single folder. By using subdirectories, users can navigate through folders in a logical hierarchy.
For example, in Windows, thedrive contains a Documents and Settings subdirectory. Within this directory, are subdirectories for each user of the computer. Within each users folder are other subdirectories, including Desktop, My Documents, and Start Menu. In Mac OS X, the main hard disk contains a Users folder. This directory contains a list of all the users home folders. Within each users home folder are several other subdirectories, such as Documents, Movies, and Music.
Both Windows and Mac users can create subdirectories to further organize data within these predefined folders. This can be useful when categorizing data on your hard drive. For example, if you store all your digital photos within the Pictures folder, you might create subdirectories that are named by date, such as 2009-06-01, 2009-07-04, 2009-08-15, etc. You could also create subdirectories based on the source of each image, such as Digital Photos, Screenshots, and Scanned Images. Regardless of what folder names you choose, creating subdirectories can save you a lot of time when browsing through files in the future. -
Snapshot
While the term snapshot is often used in photography, it is also a computing term that refers to a copy made of a disk drive at a specific moment in time. Snapshots are useful for backing up data at different intervals, which allows information to be recovered from different periods of time.
A hard drive snapshot includes the full directory structure of a hard disk, including all folders and files on the disk. This type of backup may also be referred to as a disk image. Disk images allow the full disk to be restored in case the primary disk fails. Many backup programs that create snapshots also allow specific files to be recovered from the snapshot, instead of having to restore the complete backup. Since snapshots are mainly used for backup purposes, it is wise to save the snapshot to a secondary hard drive, removable drive, or optical media, such as CDs or DVDs.
