A set of application programs sold as a package, usually at a lower price than that of the individual applications sold separately. Each subweb can have independent administration, authoring, and browsing permissions from the root Web site and other subwebs. A named subdirectory of the root Web site that is a complete FrontPage-based Web site. E-commerce Web site that provides information or services to customers who pay a subscription fee. To add a name to a LISTSERV distribution list. To add a newsgroup to the list of such groups from which a user receives all new articles. A network that is part of another, larger network. The division of a network into subnets to improve network security and performance. In terms of the ISO/OSI reference model, the subnet comprises the layers below the transport layeróthat is, the network, data link, and physical layers. In general, a network that forms part of a larger network. A type of World Wide Web index that is organized by subject categories, many of which are broken down into subcategories, or “branches.” An example of a World Wide Web subject tree is Yahoo! See also Yahoo! A domain, often representing an administrative or other organizational subgroup within a second-level domain. A directory (logical grouping of related files) within another directory. A pointing device, similar to a pen, used to make selections, usually by tapping, and to enter information on the touch-sensitive surface.
A text file containing code to apply semantics such as page layout specifications to an HTML document. A file of instructions used to apply character, paragraph, and page layout formats in word processing and desktop publishing. StuffIt files can be uncompressed using a freeware program, StuffIt Expander. Originally shareware, StuffIt is now a commercial product for Macs and PCs that supports multiple compression techniques and allows file viewing. A file compression program originally written for the Apple Macintosh, used for storing a file on one or more disks. Assemblies with the same strong name are expected to be identical. A name that consists of an assembly’s identity: its simple text name, version number, and often the culture information strengthened by a public key and a digital signature generated over the assembly. Also called: Darwin Streaming Server, QuickTime Streaming Server.
Streaming Server may be used with Mac OS X and other UNIX-based operating systems. Built on RTP and RTSP standard Internet protocols, Streaming Server can set up a QuickTime streaming media Web broadcasting station capable of streaming digital videos and music files to more than 3000 users via the Internet. A server technology designed by Apple Computer to send streaming QuickTime media files over the Internet. A streaming buffer requires much less memory than a static buffer. For example, an application could use a buffer that can hold 3 seconds of audio data to play a 2-minute sound. A small sound buffer that can play lengthy sounds because the application dynamically loads audio data into the buffer as it plays. Although streaming tape compromises start/stop performance, it achieves highly reliable storage and retrieval of data, and is useful when a steady supply of data is required by a particular application or computer. In magnetic tape storage devices, a low-cost technique to control the motion of the tape by removing tape buffers. On the Internet, the process of delivering information, especially multimedia sound or video, in a steady flow that the recipient can access as the file is being transmitted. Consumers, however, are likely to encounter references to streams and streaming in connection to the Internet, which has increased reliance on stream techniques to enable users (even those with slower equipment) to access large multimedia filesóespecially those containing audio and video componentsóand to display or play them before all the data has been transferred. Manipulating a data stream is a programming task.
Any data transmission, such as the movement of a file between disk and memory, that occurs in a continuous flow. Therefore, STP cable can be used for high-speed transmission over long distances. The twists protect the pairs from interference by each other, and the shielding protects the pairs from interference from outside. A cable consisting of one or more twisted pairs of wires and a sheath of foil and copper braid. Microsoft Internet & Networking Dictionary
