MIME, also known as, Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, helps the e-mail protocols to permit the users to transfer any kind of image, sound, and program as attachment in email across the World Wide Web. It is because of MIME only that you can send your audios, videos and software programs to other users through email attachments as it is the format of non-text email attachments.

A Domain Name Server (DNS) is a computer that uses networking software in order to save a database of network IP addresses and domain names for other Internet hosts. A DNS helps client computers use the web more efficiently by storing previous address look-ups, which allows them to surf the Internet faster. Older Windows Servers used the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) for name resolution on the local network. It is recommended that a DNS Server be installed with the Windows 2008 server in order to provide a higher quality Read More

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid found in the cells of all living organisms. It houses the vital genetic directives involved in the growth and functioning of all living organisms; as a result of such behavior, it is considered to be the building block or blueprint of life. DNA is also instrumental in the building of other vital components such as proteins and RNA molecules. DNA was first classified by the physician Friedrich Miescher in 1869. Several researchers such as Phoebus Levene, William Astbury, and Frederick Griffith further contributed Read More

The most popular Internet web browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer, commonly referred to as IE. Currently, the newest version of IE is IE7. Sometimes computer users have difficulty with their computer or web browser (MS Internet Explorer). During these times, they should reinstall Internet Explorer in order to troubleshoot or determine the cause of the problem and correct any glitches. However, it should be noted that there is no reinstallation procedure per say. The reinstallation procedure requires users to uninstall their current Internet Explorer and install it again. Here are Read More

When a user follows a link from WebSite A to WebSite B, it generates a logfile entry in the web server logs of WebSite B. Most webmasters use a web site statistics reporting tool such as AWStats or Webalizer. Some webmasters (either purposefully or unintentionally) make the reports generated by these tools publicly available. One of the reports generated by most web site statistics reporting tools is a “top referrers” report. This reports lists the remote web pages that have sent the most visitors to the web site. How are Read More

The EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code) is an extended binary code for IBM mainframes, mid-range computers, and peripheral devices that use 8 bits instead of the original 6-bit format. Although EBCDIC is still used today, more modern encoding forms, such as ASCII and Unicode, exist. While all IBM computers use EBCDIC as their default encoding format, most IBM devices also include support for modern formats, allowing them to take advantage of newer features that EBCDIC does not provide. How EBCDIC Works EBCDIC consists of an 8-bit character format Read More

Address labels are often decorated with various designs and can be purchased from a post office or retail outlet, a label maker can make them, or a standard computer printer can print them Read More

Although the iPhone is designed to go into sleep mode after a pre-defined period of inactivity, it still loses power in this state. Furthermore, if the user is in a meeting or another location where he or she does not want the phone to wake-up when receiving a phone call or text, then the phone must be turned off as sleep mode does not keep the device in the “Off” state. Other times, if the iPhone’s battery is low on power, the user may want to preserve battery life to Read More

Radioactivity is caused when an atom, for whatever reason, wants to give away some of its energy. It does this because it wants to shift from an unstable configuration to a more stable configuration. The energy that is released when the atom makes this shift is known as radioactivity. In other words, radioactivity is the act in which an atom releases radiation suddenly and spontaneously. What are the Types of Radioactivity? There are four specific types of radioactivity. In three of the four instances, there is some sort of a Read More
