I-Terms
VNC: An acronym for Virtual Network Computing, this software makes it possible to interact with a computer from any computer or mobile device on the internet. VNC software provides cross-platform support allowing remote control between different types of computers. To use VNC you must have a network TCP/IP connection, a VNC server and a VNC viewer to connect to the computer running the VNC server. The open source version of VNC has been freely available since 1998.
ODT: An acronym for On-Die Termination, ODT improves signal integrity of the memory channel, enabling more efficient system operation and lower overall system cost. DDR2-SDRAM memory chips support on-die termination; allowing some motherboard ODT components to be integrated into the memory itself.
Enairo: A website, or web-based community deemed suitable for a family and general audience. Enairos are free from any content which may be regarded as unsuitable to children and families.
IOPS: The standard unit of measurement for I/O (Input/Output) operations per second. This measurement is a performance-based measurement and is usually seen written as: (1) Total IOPS - average number of I/O operations per second; (2) Read IOPS - average number of read I/O operations per second; and (3) Write IOPS - average number of write I/O operations per second.
Task Pane: A new feature included in Microsoft Office XP. It is a dockable dialog window that gives users a convenient way to use commands, gather information, and modify their documents. An Office Task Pane can contain one or more pages, and each page is broken up into sections. Developers can programmatically manipulate the Task Pane to perform certain functions such as view the pane, dock or undock the window, and add custom information to the New Item page that is common among all Office XP applications.
OS/400: This is the operating system IBM uses for their AS/400 (now called iSeries) computers. OS/400 incorporates support for IBM’s Linux implementation, Windows, and ported UNIX applications through OS/400 PASE, and OS/400 applications.
MSO: An acronym for Multiple System Operators, MSO is a term used in the cable industry to describe a company which owns and operates two or more cable TV systems.
BHO: Short for Browser Helper Object, this is a DLL that allows developers to customize and control Internet Explorer. When Internet Explorer starts, it reads the registry to locate any installed BHOs and then creates them. Created BHOs have access to all the events and properties of that browsing session. Every time a new browser window is opened, it creates a copy of the BHO and when that window is closed, it destroys its copy of the BHO.
IRAP: An acronym for International Roaming Access Protocols, this is a selection of methods for constructing wireless infrastructures. IRAP is a set of proven, standards-based interfaces that establish a common baseline of features to facilitate seamless network interoperability. It is an open framework, or profiles of a set of core protocols, for a unified, global network architecture. IRAP is also a set of architectural principles that make it easier for providers to build, test and employ effective networks that provide secure and seamless global service. With IRAP, it is easier to enable people to stay connected in a variety of locations, on a variety of mobile devices.
UPnP: Short for Universal Plug and Play, this is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software and peripherals of over 400 vendors that are part of the Universal Plug and Play Forum. UPnP works with wired or wireless networks and can be supported on any operating system. It boasts device-driver independence and zero-configuration networking.
Absolute cell reference: In spreadsheet applications, this is a reference to a particular cell or group of cells that does not change, even if you change the shape or size of the spreadsheet, or copy the reference to another cell. Absolute cell references are particularly useful for referencing constant values.
