animated cursors n. A Windows 95 and Windows NT feature that allows a series of frames, one after another, to appear at the mouse pointer location instead of a single image, thus producing a short loop of animation.
WELCOME TO PAGE 236 !!!!!
animation n. The illusion of movement created by using a succession of static images. In computer graphics, the images can all be drawn separately, or starting and ending points can be drawn with the intervening images provided by software.
annoybot n. A bot on an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel or a multiuser dungeon (MUD) that interacts with the user in an obnoxious manner.
anode n. In electronics, the positively charged terminal or electrode toward which electrons flow.
anonymity n. The ability to send an e-mail message or an article to a newsgroup without one’s identity becoming known. Ordinarily, the e-mail address of the sender appears automatically in a message’s header, which is created by the client software. To achieve anonymity, a message must be sent through an anonymous remailer—which, however, maintains a record of the sender’s identity to enable replies.
ANSI n. 1. Acronym for American National Standards Institute. A voluntary, nonprofit organization of business and industry groups formed in 1918 for the development and adoption of trade and communication standards in the United States. ANSI is the American representative of ISO (the International Organization for Standardization). Among its many concerns, ANSI has developed recommendations for the use of programming languages including FORTRAN, C, and COBOL, and various networking technologies. See also ANSI C, ANSI.SYS, SCSI. 2. The Microsoft Windows ANSI character set. This set is includes ISO 8859/x plus additional characters. This set was originally based on an ANSI draft standard.
ANSI/SPARC n. Acronym for American National Standards Institute Standards Planning and Requirements Committee. The ANSI committee that, in the 1970s, proposed a generalized, three-schema architecture that is used as the foundation for some database management systems.
ANSI.SYS n. An installable device driver for MS-DOS computers that uses ANSI commands (escape sequences) to enhance the user’s control of the console.
ANSI X3.30-1997 n. A standard entitled “Representation for Calendar Date and Ordinal Date for Information Interchange” from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) that covers date formats. Many organizations, including the U.S. federal government, have standardized date formats using this standard to facilitate work on the Year 2000 problem.
antialiasing n. A software technique for smoothing the jagged appearance of curved or diagonal lines caused by poor resolution on a display screen. Methods of anti-aliasing include surrounding pixels with intermediate shades and manipulating the size and horizontal alignment of pixels. See the illustration. See also dithering. Compare aliasing. Antialiasing. The image on the right shows the result of antialiasing through the use of higher resolution.
antiglare or anti-glare adj. Pertaining to any measure taken to reduce reflections of external light on a monitor screen. The screen may be coated with a chemical (which may reduce its brightness), covered with a polarizing filter, or simply rotated so that external light is not reflected into the user’s eye.
anti-replay n. An IP packet–level security feature that prevents packets that have been intercepted and changed from being inserted into the data stream. Anti-replay creates a security association between a source and destination computer, with each agreeing on a numbering sequence for transmitted packets. The anti-replay mechanism detects packets tagged with numbers that fall outside the accepted sequence, discards them, sends an error message, and logs the event. The anti-replay protocol is included as part of the IPSec standard.
antistatic device n. A device designed to minimize shocks caused by the buildup of static electricity, which can disrupt computer equipment or cause data loss. An antistatic device may take the form of a floor mat, a wristband with a wire attached to the workstation, a spray, a lotion, or other special-purpose device.
antivirus program n. A computer program that scans a computer’s memory and mass storage to identify, isolate, and eliminate viruses, and that examines incoming files for viruses as the computer receives them.
anycasting n. Communication between a single sender and the nearest receiver in a group. In IPv6, anycasting enables one host to initiate the updating of routing tables for a group of hosts.
any key n. Any random key on a computer keyboard. Some programs prompt the user to “press any key” to continue. It does not matter which key the user presses. There is no key on the keyboard called Any.
Hi @hayathasan -- appreciate you ordering multiple services with us! We’ve increased your bandwidth resources accordingly
Hi @wystri -- good stuff!
We've gone ahead and doubled your bandwidth. Thank You for doing business with RackNerd
any-to-any connectivity n. The property of an integrated computer network environment where it is possible to share data across multiple protocols, host types, and network topologies.
Apache n. A free open-source HTTP (Web) server introduced in 1995 by the Apache Group as an extension to, and improvement of, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications’ earlier HTTPd (version 1.3). Apache is popular on UNIX-based systems, including Linux, and also runs on Windows NT and other operating systems, such as BeOS. Because the server was based on existing code with a series of patches, it became known as “A Patchy server,” which led to the official name Apache.
Apache Group n. A non-profit organization of volunteers from around the world that operates and contributes to the Apache HTTP Server Project.
aperture grill n. A type of CRT (cathode ray tube) used in computer monitors that uses thin, closely-spaced vertical wires to isolate the individual pixels. The first aperture grill CRT was the Sony Trinitron, but several other manufacturers also produce aperture grill CRTs.
APEX n. Acronym for Assembly Process Exhibition and Conference. Exhibition and conference for members of the electronics manufacturing industry. APEX features product exhibits, speeches, technical conferences, and forums on issues that affect the industry.
APL n. Acronym for A Programming Language. A high-level language introduced in 1968 for scientific and mathematical applications. APL is a subprogram-based interpreted language that uses a large set of special characters and terse syntax and is available for use on PC-compatible machines.
APNIC n. Acronym for Asian-Pacific Network Information Center, a nonprofit, voluntary membership organization covering the Asia/Pacific Rim region. APNIC, like its European counterpart RIPE and its American counterpart ARIN, devotes itself to matters related to the Internet, among them such tasks as registering new members, allocating IP addresses, and maintaining database information.
Hi @mrloyal1410 -- Appreciate you expanding with RackNerd!
We just completed the upgrade, if you ever need anything, we'll be here to help
APPC n. Acronym for Advanced Program-to-Program Communication. A specification developed as part of IBM’s SNA (Systems Network Architecture) model and designed to enable applications programs running on different computers to communicate and exchange data directly. APPC extends SNA to include minicomputers and PCs.
