Quote of the Lesson (दिन के उद्धरण)

“Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air. ”

“साहस और दृढ़ निश्चय जादुई तावीज़ हैं जिनके आगे कठिनाईयां दूर हो जाती हैं और बाधाएं उड़न-छू हो जाती है. ”

“Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every Lesson begins the task anew.”

“हर बात में धीरज रखें, विशेषकर अपने आप से. अपनी कमियों को लेकर धैर्य न खोएं अपितु तुरन्त उनका समाधान करना शुरू करें – हर दिन कर्म की नई शुरुआत है. ”

“I don’t think of my life as a career. I do stuff. I respond to stuff. That’s not a career — it’s a life!”

“मैं अपने जीवन को एक पेशा नहीं मानता. मैं कर्म में विश्वास रखता हूं. मैं परिस्थितियों से शिक्षा लेता हूं. यह पेशा या नौकरी नहीं है - यह तो जीवन का सार है. ”

“Love truth, and pardon error. ”

“सत्य से प्यार करें और गलती को क्षमा कर दें.”

“Our lives begin to end the Lesson we become silent about things that matter. ”

“हमारे जीवन का उस दिन अंत होना शुरू हो जाता है जिस दिन हम उन विषयों के बारे में चुप रहना शुरू कर देते हैं जो मायने रखते हैं.”

Technical word (तकनीकी शब्द)

Applet
A small Java program that can be placed (embedded) in an HTML page. Applets differ from full-fledged Java applications in that they are not allowed to access files and serial devices (modems, printers, etc.) on the local computer, and are prohibited from communicating with other computers across a network.

Archie
An early Internet search tool not used much since the advent of the Web Browser in 1994. It is an archive of filenames maintained at Internet FTP sites.

ARPANet
(Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) - The precursor to the Internet. It was developed in the late 60's by the US Department of Defense as an experiment in wide-area networking that would survive a nuclear war.

ASCII
(American Standard Code for Information Interchange) - The world-wide standard of code numbers used by computers to represent all the upper- and lower-case Latin letters, numbers, and punctuation. There are 128 standard ASCII codes, each of which can be represented by a 7-digit binary number, 0000000 through 1111111.

AU
A common audio file format for UNIX systems (.au).

AVI
(Audio/Video Interleaved) - A common video file format (.avi). Video quality can be good at smaller resolutions, but files tend to be large.

Accounting rate
Defined in the International Telecommunication Regulations as "The rate agreed between administrations (or recognized private operating agencies) in a given relation that is used for the establishment of international accounts". Basically, the internal price agreed between public telecommunication operators (PTOs) for carrying international traffic between two points. This is used to determine the price charged to the originating PTO by the terminating PTO, usually set at one half the accounting rate (also called the settlement rate)

alphanumeric
In computers designed for English language users, alphanumeric (sometimes seen as alphameric ) character s are those comprised by the combined set of the 26 alphabetic characters, A to Z, and the 10 Arabic numerals, 0 to 9. In some usages, the alphanumeric character set may include both upper and lower case letters, punctuation marks, and symbols (such as @, &, and *, for example). For languages other than English, alphanumeric characters include letter variations such as é and ç. For some computer usages, such as file naming, alphanumeric characters are strictly limited to the 26 alphabetic characters and 10 numerals; however, for other usages, such as programming, other keyboard symbols are sometimes permitted.

aleph
In mathematics, aleph, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, in its uppercase form ( ) denotes numbers representing the sizes of infinite set s. Such numbers are known as transfinite cardinal number s, or transfinite cardinals.
The smallest transfinite cardinal is , called aleph null or aleph nought. This is the cardinality of (the number of elements in) the set of natural number s. It is also the cardinality of the set of integer s and the set of rational number s. This number is denumerable, in the sense that the elements of any set with cardinality can be entirely defined by writing a list, or at least the first few elements of a list. For example, the set of integers can be listed as {0, 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, ...}. Although it is not possible to completely write out this list, its elements are implied by the continuation symbol (...).
The cardinality of the set of real number s is larger than . The real numbers cannot be denoted by any sort of list. This was proven by the German mathematician Georg Cantor (1845-1918), and produced the counterintuitive result that some infinities are larger than others.

American Wire Gauge (AWG)
American Wire Gauge (AWG) is a U.S. standard set of non-ferrous wire conductor sizes. The "gauge" means the diameter. Non-ferrous includes copper and also aluminum and other materials, but is most frequently applied to copper household electrical wiring and telephone wiring. Typical household wiring is AWG number 12 or 14. Telephone wire is usually 22, 24, or 26. The higher the gauge number, the smaller the diameter and the thinner the wire. Since thicker wire carries more current because it has less electrical resistance over a given length, thicker wire is better for longer distances. For this reason, where extended distance is critical, a company installing a network might prefer telephone wire with the lower-gauge, thicker wire of AWG 24 to AWG 26.

abwatt (abW)
The abwatt (symbolized abW) is the unit of power in the cgs (centimeter/gram/second) electromagnetic system of units. In a direct-current ( DC ) circuit, 1 abW is the power dissipated, radiated, or expended when one abvolt (1 abV) of potential difference drives a current of one abampere (1 abA) through a component.

abvolt (abV)
The abvolt (symbolized abV) is the unit of electromotive force (EMF) or potential difference in the cgs (centimeter/gram/second) electromagnetic system of units. When an EMF of 1 abV exists between two points, then one erg of energy is needed to move one abcoulomb (1 abC) of charge carriers between those two points.

absolute truth
In science, doubt has been cast on the notion of absolutes by theories such as relativity and quantum mechanics . Attempts to tie together all the known facts about the universe into a single unified theory (one example is string theory ) could be seen as efforts to discover absolute truth about this set of facts.

abacus
An abacus is a manual aid to calculating that consists of beads or disks that can be moved up and down on a series of sticks or strings within a usually wooden frame. The abacus itself doesn't calculate; it's simply a device for helping a human being to calculate by remembering what has been counted. The modern Chinese abacus, which is still widely used in China and other countries, dates from about 1200 A.D. It is possible that it derives from the earlier counting board s used around the Mediterranean as early as 300 B. C. An Aztec version of an abacus, circa 900-1000 A.D., is made from maize (corn) threaded through strings mounted in a wooden frame.

abampere (abA)
The abampere (symbolized abA) is the unit of current in the cgs (centimeter/gram/second) system of electromagnetic units. It is the equivalent of one abcoulomb (1 abC) of charge carriers moving past a specific point in one second.
The abampere is a moderately large unit of current, equivalent to 10 ampere s (A). In most applications, the ampere, which is the unit of current in the International System of Units ( SI ), is preferred.

abandonware
Abandonware is computer software (such as an operating system , word processor, interactive game, or audio file) that is no longer marketed or distributed by the company that created it, but is obtainable from some other source. Some popular products that have been at least temporarily abandoned include NeXTStep, the operating system for the NEXT computer; OpenStep, its successor; and many interactive games that were replaced by more sophisticated products. In some cases, a company or Web site gets permission from the creator to distribute the abandoned program; but sometimes they don't. To use abandonware that you download, you often need a license string that the software recognizes as entitling the user to install it. In this case, the downloading site provides a license string that is known to work.

abcoulomb (abC)
The abcoulomb (abbreviated abC) is the unit of charge quantity in the cgs (centimeter/gram/second) system of electromagnetic units. It is approximately equal to the charge contained in 6.24 x 1019 electrons.
The force with which two electrically charged bodies attract or repel one another depends on the product of the charges in abcoulombs in both objects, and also on the distance between the objects. If the polarities are the same, the force is repulsive; if the polarities are opposite, the force is attractive. For any two charged bodies, the force decreases in proportion to the square of the distance between their charge centers.
The abcoulomb is a moderately large unit in practical terms, equivalent to 10 coulombs (C). In most applications, the coulomb, which is the standard unit of charge quantity in the International System of Units (SI), is preferred.

abend
An abend (a combining of two words, abnormal end, when operator messages were as short as possible) is an abnormal, rather than planned, end or termination of a computer program because of some problem with how it is running. For example, the program may have attempted to address some computer memory space that it was not given the right to address. This term is more common in older mainframe systems than in PC systems.

abfarad (abF)
The abfarad (abbreviated abF) is the unit of electromagnetic capacitance in the cgs (centimeter/gram/second) system of units. If a charge of one abcoulomb (1 abC) produces a potential difference of one abvolt (1 abV) in a capacitance, then that capacitance is 1 abF

abohm (ab W)
The abohm (symbolized ab W ) is the unit of electromagnetic resistance in the cgs (centimeter/gram/second) system of units. It is equivalent to 10 -9 ohm s. When a current of one abampere (1 abA) flows through a resistance of 1 ab W , the resulting potential difference across the component is one abvolt (1 abV).

absiemens (abS)
When a current of one abampere (1 abA) flows through a conductance of 1 abS, the resulting potential difference across the component is one abvolt (1 abV). If the conductance is doubled while the current remains the same, the resulting voltage across the component is cut in half. Conversely, if the conductance is cut in half while the current remains the same, the resulting voltage across the component is doubled. The conductance in absiemens is the reciprocal of the resistance in abohms (ab W).
The absiemens is an extremely large unit of conductance. In fact, an object with a conductance of 1 abS would make an excellent electrical conductor. In practical applications, the siemens, the millisiemens (mS) and the microsiemens (µS)are most often used to quantify conductance. For comparison, 1 abS = 10 15 µS = 10 12 mS. The siemens is the standard unit of conductance in the International System of Units (SI).
