and servicing of products or services over computer networks. It is an electronic business application aimed at commercial transactions. E-commerce is the conduct of business commercial communications and management through electronic methods, such as electronic data interchange and automated data collection systems. Electronic commerce may also involve the electronic transfer of information between businesses (EDI). According to Forrester Research (as cited in Kessler, 2003), electronic commerce is a 12.2 billion USD industry, as of 2003. Historical development The meaning of the term electronic commerce has changed over the years. Originally, "electronic commerce" meant the facilitation of commercial transactions electronically, usually using technology like Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to send commercial documents like purchase orders or invoices electronically. Today it includes things that may more correctly be termed "Web commerce" -- the

together, Roehampton and UniS remain independent, self-regulating universities. Both register students independently and Roehampton students are taught on a Roehampton campus. Because each institution controls its own property, employs its own staff and registers its own students, applications are made to each institution separately. Applicants use distinct UCAS codes for both Roehampton and UniS. In late 2003, University of Surrey Roehampton announced that it would submit an application for independent university title to the Department for Education and Skills. Consultation is underway regarding a new name to reflect this change, the most likely proposal being Roehampton University London. The application will be considered by the Privy Council, and March 2004 is the earliest an outcome is expected. External Links University of Surrey Roehampton web site Federal University of Surrey

assistance settled down on a small estate. By his practical experiments and by his writings he gained a considerable reputation as an economist; but his ambition was not content with this, and he sought to extend his influence by joining first the Freemasons and afterwards the Rosicrucians. Wöllner, with his impressive personality and easy if superficial eloquence, was just the man to lead a movement of this kind. Under his influence the order spread rapidly, and he soon found himself the supreme director (Oberhauptdirektor) of several circles, which included in their membership princes, officers and high officials. As a Rosicrucian Wöllner dabbled in alchemy and other mystic arts, but he also affected to be zealous for Christian orthodoxy, imperilled by Frederick II's patronage of "Enlightenment", and a few months before Frederick?s

which membership of a point in a fractal set may be determined by iterative application of a simple function. An example of this type is the Mandelbrot set and the Lyapunov fractal. Those for which a geometric replacement rule exists. Examples include Cantor dust, the Sierpinski gasket, the Menger sponge and the Koch snowflake. Those which are generated by stochastic rather than deterministic processes (examples include fractal landscapes). Fractals of all three kinds have been used as the basis for vast sections of digital art and animation. Starting with 2-dimensional details of fractals such as the Mandelbrot Set, fractals have found artistic application in fields as varied as texture generation, plant growth simulation and landscape generation. Many fractal art galleries can now be found on the Internet. Perhaps a good starting

is an easy to use, cross platform database application from FileMaker Inc. FileMaker is famed for its combination of power and ease of use. It is also noted for the integration of the database engine with its GUI-based interface, which allows you to modify the database by dragging new elements into the layouts/screens/forms that provide the user interface. This results in a 'quasi-object' development enviromment of a kind which is still largely unique in the "industrial strength" database world. FileMaker was one of a handful of database applications released on the Apple Macintosh in the 1980s that completely revolutionized the industry. It is perhaps odd that today much of this heritage has been lost. With the notable exception of FileMaker, leading databases tend to be very rigid in their design and

File manager
at 2008-04-28 02:49:00
File manager A file manager is a computer application that provides access to files and helps perform common operation on them, such as copying, moving or deleting files. Although they are essential part of a computer system, and an operating system publisher usually supplies one or more file managers in a distribution of an operating system, a file manager is most often not a kernel-level tool but instead just an application. Many popular operating systems such as Microsoft Windows or UNIX systems in fact can use many different types of file managers, offered commercially by software publishers or freely by aspiring developers. The first file managers were created for operating systems that were equipped with a text user interface. These file managers were typically represented computer disks, directory structures or network

the number of bits in its representation). This is in contrast to floating-point representations, which include an automatically-managed exponent but cannot represent as many digits accurately (given the same number of bits in its representation). A common use for fixed-point numbers is for storing monetary values, where the "inexact" values of floating-point numbers are often a liability. Fixed-point representations are also sometimes used if either the executing processor does not have any floating point unit (FPU) or if fixed-point provides an improved performance necessary for an application. Historically, fixed-point representations were the norm for decimal data types (for example, in PL/I or COBOL). The Ada programming language includes built-in support for both fixed-point and floating-point. Many computer languages do not include built-in support for floating point values, because for most applications,

By 1999 it was clear to SGI that Microsoft had no intention of delivering Low Level. Although officially working on it, almost no resources were dedicated to actually producing code, and at the same time MS was in the process of investing massively in DirectX 7.0 (similar to 3.0 largely in name only). Without Low Level, Fahrenheit couldn't be delivered, and the project stalled. Since SGI's primary interest in the project was to provide an exit strategy from their MIPS based machines onto Windows-based PCs, SGI was in the terrible position of watching Microsoft destroy their business plan without
Greedy reductionism
at 2008-04-28 02:49:00
reductionism must involve coordinated efforts across a hierarchy of organizational levels. For example, to make sense of the behavior of a computer you can start with a software program like Internet Explorer and try to explain its functions in terms of the algorithms of the many software modules that were combined and packaged as a single application program. To explain how the software modules work you could explain how the upper level software program is implemented in the machine code of an actual computer. To explain the working of that computer you would have to describe the semiconductor and other components of the physical machine and how they execute machine language instructions. Ultimately you can explain the electronic components of the computer in terms of their physics. Greedy reductionism is a

Supports only 255 colors per frame, so requires lossy quantization for full-color photos; using multiple frames can improve color precision. Uses non-lossy, patented LZW compression. This patent expired in 2003. .iff .ilbm ? Interchange file format / Interleave bitmap File format popular on the Amiga computer. ILBM is a subtype of the IFF fileformat, which can contain more as just pictures. .jpeg .jpg image/jpeg Joint Photographic Experts Group Used extensively for photos on the web.

Modern (not to be confused with the other modern era of the 18th and 19th centuries) typographers such as Edward Johnston and Eric Gill after him were inspired by vernacular and industrial typography of the latter nineteenth century. The signage in the London Underground is a classic of this era and used a font designed by Edward Johnston in 1916. Jan Tschichold codified the principles of modern typography in his 1928 book, New Typography. He later repudiated the philosophy he espoused in this book as being fascistic, but it remained very influential. Tschichold, Bauhaus typographers such as Herbert Bayer and Laszlo Moholy Nagy, and El Lissitzky are the fathers of graphic design as we know it today. They pioneered production techniques and stylistic devices used throughout the twentieth century. Today, the

First created by Tim Berners-Lee for use on the World Wide Web, the currently used forms are detailed by IETF standard RFC 2396 (1998). The URL was a fundamental innovation in creating the World Wide Web It combines into one simple address the four basic items of information necessary to find a document anywhere on the Internet: The protocol to use to communicate with that machine The machine or domain name to go to An open network port on the target machine connected to some service The path or file name on that machine A typical simple URL can look like: http://www.wikipedia.org:80/wiki where http

"GIF" is often pronounced giff with a hard g (that is, "gift" without the final t), but the pronunciation specified by the creators of the file format in the official documentation is jiff. It was introduced in 1987 by CompuServe in order to provide a color image format for their file downloading areas, replacing their earlier RLE format which was black and white only. GIF became popular because it used LZW data compression, which was more efficient than the run-length encoding that formats such as PCX and MacPaint used, and fairly large images could therefore be downloaded in a reasonable amount of time, even with very slow modems. The optional interlacing feature,

HyperCard HyperCard is an application program and a simple programming environment produced by Apple Computer which runs only in Mac OS Classic. It most closely resembles a database application in concept, in that it stores information, but unlike traditional database systems HyperCard is very flexible and trivially easy to modify. In addition HyperCard includes a powerful and easy to use programming language to manipulate that data, one that is so easy to use that most HyperCard users used it as a programming system as opposed to a database. History HyperCard was created by Bill Atkinson and initially released in 1987, with the understanding that Atkinson would give HyperCard to Apple only if they promised to release it for free on all Macs. Originally called WildCard during its development,

system, and for easily publishing, updating and searching for the information. The most well-known hypertext system is the World Wide Web. Probably the first description of the idea came in 1945, when Vannevar Bush wrote an article in The Atlantic Monthly called "As We May Think," about a futuristic device he called a "Memex". He described the device as electronically linked to a library and able to display books and films from the library, and further able to automatically follow references from these to the work referenced. The Memex did more than offer linked information to a user though. It was a tool for establishing links as well as following them. The technology used would have been a combination of electromechanical controls and microfilm cameras and readers, all integrated in a

stands for User Interface Markup Language and is an application of XML to describe user interfaces. Normally people think of using XML for describing documents or data. But as it is just a formalism it may be used for any kind of structured data. There are tools which convert an UIML representation to the representation for various GUIs (e.g. Java awt). XUL (Xml User-interface Language) provides similar functionality as UIML and is used for the Mozilla web browser. External Links www.uiml.org Conversion tool - VisualBasic forms to UIML
