Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line A gateway is commonly used to make an ADSL connection Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) is a type of digital subscriber line (DSL) technology, a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines than a conventional voiceband modem can provide. It does this by utilizing frequencies that are not used by a voice telephone call.[1] A splitter, or DSL filter, allows a single telephone connection to be used for both ADSL service and voice calls at the same time. Overview[edit] There are both technical and marketing reasons why ADSL is in many places the most common type offered to home users. The marketing reasons for an asymmetric connection are that, firstly, most uses of internet traffic will require less data to be uploaded than downloaded. Operation[edit] Frequency plan for ADSL Annex A. The total maximum capacity derived from summing the bits-per-bin is reported by DSL modems and is sometimes termed sync rate. ADSL standards[edit]

Have you seen a meme that deserves some exploration? Drop a 1UP message to let us know. Spore, the next and arguably most ambitious project from Sims mastermind Will Wright, has a sneak preview of sorts with the recently-released Spore Creature Creator. Although only one piece of the total Spore experience, players have quickly taken to creating their own cuddly creatures, creepy crawlies, and abominations. Aside from penisaurs, the first thought to a lot of gamers was to pay homage to their favorite games and franchises with their creations. Pac-Man by Echo49 First up we have Pac-Man, complete with a Homer Simpson beard and vicious, sharp teeth.

Infinite monkey theorem The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare. In this context, "almost surely" is a mathematical term with a precise meaning, and the "monkey" is not an actual monkey, but a metaphor for an abstract device that produces an endless random sequence of letters and symbols. One of the earliest instances of the use of the "monkey metaphor" is that of French mathematician Émile Borel in 1913,[1] but the earliest instance may be even earlier. The relevance of the theorem is questionable—the probability of a universe full of monkeys typing a complete work such as Shakespeare's Hamlet is so tiny that the chance of it occurring during a period of time hundreds of thousands of orders of magnitude longer than the age of the universe is extremely low (but technically not zero).

The code generated by this interface may be used for semantic web pages, structured blogging, or any other application that requires markup that is simultaneously human presentable and machine readable. Based on the hCard creator by Tantek Çelik (later updated by Ryan King), which is based on the XFN Creator (v1.0 by Matt Mullenweg, v1.1 update by Tantek Çelik).

.htaccess Tutorials, htaccess Examples, Sample .htaccess Files .htaccess is a very ancient configuration file that controls the Web Server running your website, and is one of the most powerful configuration files you will ever come across. Htaccess has the ability to control access of the WWW's HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) using Password Protection, 301 Redirects, rewrites, and much much more. This is because this configuration file was coded in the earliest days of the web (HTTP), for one of the first Web Servers ever! Eventually these Web Servers (configured with htaccess) became known as the World Wide Web, and eventually grew into the Internet we use today. This is not an introduction to .htaccess… This is the evolution of the best of the best. You've come to the right place if you are looking to acquire mad skills for using .htaccess files.

Enable cd into directory aliases from the Terminal I use the command line often and have been frustrated by the second-class-status that file system aliases have in the command shell. It would be nice if Apple would have the BSD system calls treat aliases the same as soft links, but alas, as of 10.4.2, they have not done so. Also, file system aliases have some nice features which are not available to soft links, like labels, which cannot be used at all with soft links (well for a couple of seconds, it looks like you can, but they don't stick.) Another difference is that in 10.3, comments also don't stick, though they appear to do so in 10.4 (as a result of being Spotlight comments, probably). And of course, it is possible to create a file system alias using drag and drop. Here is the bash function I include in .bashrc. function cd { if [ ${#1} == 0 ]; then builtin cd elif [ -d "${1}" ]; then builtin cd "${1}" elif [[ -f "${1}" || -L "${1}" ]]; then path=$(getTrueName "$1") builtin cd "$path" else builtin cd "${1}" fi }
Jeppe's Unicode page This page is UTF-8 encoded. Take a look at the following character(s): ñ If you see an "n" with a "~" above, your browser understands UTF-8 and you can read this page. If you see something else (typically an "A" with a "~" followed by a plus/minus sign) your browser does not understand UTF-8 and you should find yourself a better browser. Unicode is a standard that allows you to write in virtually any language in the world, no matter what alphabet that language uses. Let me show you some examples of what you can do in Unicode: Here is a Danish word: Blåbærgrød (these are all Latin1 letters). Here is the French oe ligature: Bœuf. A Polish l with stroke: Złoty. Hungarian vowels: Könnyű. Something bad to say in Turkish: ağır işçi. The following letters are useful in Esperanto: ĉĝĥĵŝŭ. This is a famous Greek palindrome: ΝΙΨΟΝ ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑ ΜΗ ΜΟΝΑΝ ΟΨΙΝ. But with Unicode you can do much more than this! So what about all the non-European languages? And you can use Unicode for Mathematics as well!
