Markup language Examples are typesetting instructions such as those found in troff, TeX and LaTeX, or structural markers such as XML tags. Markup instructs the software displaying the text to carry out appropriate actions, but is omitted from the version of the text that is displayed to users. Some markup languages, such as HTML, have pre-defined presentation semantics, meaning that their specification prescribes how the structured data are to be presented; others, such as XML, do not. A widely used markup language is the HyperText Markup Language (HTML), one of the document formats of the World Wide Web. Types[edit] There are three general categories of electronic markup:[1][2] Presentational markup The kind of markup used by traditional word-processing systems: binary codes embedded within document text that produce the WYSIWYG effect. Procedural markup Markup is embedded in text and provides instructions for programs that are to process the text. Descriptive markup History[edit] Etymology and origin[edit]

ICSI Netalyzr Stop the Cap! » “Mean and Nasty” Stop the Cap! Upsetting Time Warner’s Apple Cart in North Carolina Community broadband networks deliver the best value and speed for North Carolina consumers and businesses Word has reached Stop the Cap! that hundreds of e-mails and phone calls are pouring into Rep. Marilyn Avila’s (R-Time Warner Cable) office protesting her hard work on behalf of the state’s largest cable company. We are being called “mean and nasty” by those supporting Avila’s anti-consumer bill, H.129. Our answer to that: we are not “mean” or “nasty.” These anti-community broadband bills have come year after year in North Carolina, despite the fact the state has an “also-ran” reputation as a broadband backwater, with tremendous room for improvement in broadband speed, price, availability, and choice of providers. Ty Harrell resigned his office in disgrace over financial irregularities, but he was already in hot water when he introduced his bill. This year, it’s Ms. The former Rep. The answer is, it does nothing. This is not an auspicious position for Ms. Stop the Cap!

al-Qaeda in Iraq Origins[edit] The group was founded by the Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in 1999 under the name Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad (Arabic: جماعة التوحيد والجهاد, "Group of Monotheism and Jihad"). The group is believed to have started bomb attacks in Iraq as of August 2003, five months after the coalition invasion and occupation of Iraq, targeting UN representatives, Iraqi Shiite institutions, the Jordanian embassy, provisional Iraqi government institutions. After it pledged allegiance to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network in October 2004, its official name became Tanzim Qaidat al-Jihad fi Bilad al-Rafidayn.[1][5][6][7] Leadership[edit] On 7 June 2006, the leader of AQI, al-Zarqawi, and his spiritual adviser Sheik Abd-Al-Rahman, were both killed by a U.S. airstrike with two 500 lb (230 kg) bombs on a safe house near Baqubah. Purpose[edit] In a letter to al-Zarqawi in July 2005, Al-Qaeda's Ayman al-Zawahiri outlined a four-stage plan beginning with taking control of Iraq. 2004[edit]

ICSI Netalyzr 2-5% Of Your Bill Actually Goes To Bandwidth - Netflix Is Not The Enemy, And The Sky Is Not Falling Somewhere between 2-5% of your monthly broadband bill actually goes to bandwidth, long-time broadband industry analyst Dave Burstein reminds readers. While there's obviously plenty of additional costs beyond that -- such as support, lobbying, labor and marketing, there's also abundant new revenue streams (advertising via webmail, BVAS, selling your clickstream data, DNS Redirection revenue, charging to get around spam filters, targeted behavioral advertising). Burstein notes that the fact that bandwidth margins are about 90% is important to remember as ISPs try to convince consumers that Netflix bandwidth demand is unmanageable without low caps and high overages, or content company subsidies: quote:2 cents to 5 cents per gigabyte. The actual bandwidth cost to a large carrier like Time Warner or AT&T, depending on how you do the accounting. $1/month/customer.

nzakas's cssembed at master - GitHub Comparing Broadband Services: Salisbury Fibrant and Wilson Greenlight to Incumbents in North Carolina Thank you for a fantastic educational video. Hopefully some people will get the hint and realize that no only are they being ripped off by their local providers, the local providers are stifling innovation and costing the community much needed jobs. Synchronous Fiber To The Home (FTTH) is the ONLY solution that offers a future, every other solution continues the scarcity myths that the incumbents use to extort ever higher fees in perpetuity - this must be stopped for citizens to have decent Internet access. I just hope that the additional money used to run negative campaign ads against their opponents (ala Citizens United vs FEC) that led to Republicans, Tea Party and a few Libertarian candidates to get elected nationwide will not result in a change in the last 3/4 years in North Carolina. For those that are not aware, Time Warner with the help of local Telcos (Baby Bells) has attempted to pass this legislation in the last 3/4 years but has been stopped each time.
