Afterwards, go to your home in order to incorporate the look and feel you want on your Xanga page. Remember that you might be asked to log in again. Shortly, you will encounter a Drop Read More

RC4 is a symmetric stream cipher with an arbitrary key size. RC4 was created by Ron Rivest of RSA Security in 1987. RC4 is used in many applications, including TLS (Transport Layer Security), WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), Microsoft XBOX, Oracle SQL, Microsoft PPTP, Microsoft Office, and Adobe Acrobat. RC4 is not patented, but it is a trade secret of RSA Security. An alleged copy of the RC4 source code was published anonymously in 1994. This code behaves identically to the official Read More

A remix is an audio clip that is made by combining multiple songs together and/or adding special effects.

As CDs, DVDs, and BlueRay discs become more and more popular through the world, people have less and less need for VHS tapes. This is easily seen by the fact that most manufacturers do not even make VCRs anymore. DVDs are not only more compact and portable than VHS tapes but can also store more information and can Read More

A growing business of a company brings lots of effects with it and huge amount of data that needs to be stored and tracked is one of them. So, in order to deal with this data, new and sophisticated methods of data processing are required and OLAP or as others say, “On Line Analytical Processing”, is one of them. Well, it is really difficult to describe what OLAP really is, but in a nutshell, one can say that On Line Analytical Processing is a class of software technology that allows Read More

SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) is a computer science method of combining multiple operations into a single computer instruction. The total number of operations combined is normally a factor of the power of two. The employment of SIMD results in significant savings in speed for algorithms designed to work in parallel. The technology is used on IA-32 and PowerPC architectures, and is referred to as AltiVec on the PowerPC and MMX (MultiMedia eXtensions) on IA-32 machines. SIMD results in significant gains when used for image processing, 3G graphics, scientific calculations, Read More

MURS, or the Multi-Use Radio Service, is a public radio service created by the FCC in the Fall of 2000 that can be accessed by any individual for personal or business-related purpose. MURS was created for the general public to use without acquiring a license to broadcast, but requires that users remain within the frequencies allotted to MURS. Officially, MURS is defined by the FCC as a “a private, two-way, short-distance voice or data communications service for personal or business activities of the general public.”   Rules of MURS Although Read More

It requires n-1 passes to sort an array. In each pass every element a[i] is compared with a[i+1], for i=0 to (n-k-1), where k is the pass number and if they are out of order i.e. if a[i]>a[i+1], they are swapped. This will cause the largest element to move up or bubble up. Thus after the end of the first pass the largest element in the array will be placed in the last or nth position and on the next pass, the next largest element will be placed at position Read More
