Quote of the Lesson (दिन के उद्धरण)
“I do not
pray for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.”
“मैं
कठिनाईयों से बचने की प्रार्थना नहीं करता हूं, बल्कि मैं उन्हें सहन
करने के लिए पर्याप्त सामर्थ्य प्रदान करने की प्रार्थना करता
हूं।”
“The
secret of happiness is not doing what one likes, but liking what
one has to do.”
“किसी को
क्या अच्छा लगता है, वैसा करना खुशी का रहस्य नहीं है, जबकि खुशी का
रहस्य तो वह कार्य करना है जो कि किया जाना चाहिए।”
“To
achieve something you've never achieved before, you must
become someone you've never been before.”
“आपके
द्वारा कुछ ऐसा प्राप्त करना जिसे आपने पहले कभी भी प्राप्त नहीं
किया है, आपको अवश्य ही ऐसा व्यक्ति बनना होगा जो आप पहले कभी नहीं
थे।”
“Your
most valuable asset can be your willingness to persist longer than
anyone else.”
“किसी
अन्य व्यक्ति की तुलना में अपने लक्ष्य की प्राप्ति के लिए कार्यरत
रहने की आपकी इच्छा आपकी सर्वाधिक मूल्यवान सम्पत्ति हो सकती
है।”
“The
problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting
otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.”
“समस्या
यह नहीं है कि समस्याएं हैं। अन्यथा प्रत्याशित करना और यह सोचना कि
समस्याएं हैं, यही समस्या है।”
Technical word (तकनीकी शब्द)
Scareware
Scareware, also known as "rogue security software," is
software that uses false error messages to lure you into purchasing
a software program. These alerts or warnings may appear on websites
or within applications installed on your computer. When you click
the associated download link, the software is downloaded to your
computer.
Schema
A schema is an
outline, diagram, or model. In computing, schemas are often used to
describe the structure of different types of data. Two common
examples include database and XML schemas.
1.
Database Schema
A database schema describes the
tables and corresponding fields contained in a database. It may be
displayed as a list of tables that each contain a sublist of fields
along with the associated data type. More commonly, however,
database schemas are displayed as visual diagrams.
Smartphone
A smartphone is a mobile phone that includes advanced functionality
beyond making phone calls and sending text messages. Most
smartphones have the capability to display photos, play videos,
check and send e-mail, and surf the Web. Modern smartphones, such
as the iPhone and Android based phones can run third-party
applications, which provides limitless functionality.
Scraping
Scraping, or "web
scraping," is the process of extracting large amounts of
information from a website. This may involve downloading several
web pages or the entire site. The downloaded content may include
just the text from the pages, the full HTML, or both the HTML and
images from each page.
There are many different
methods of scraping a website.
Screenshot
A screenshot, or screen capture, is a picture taken of your
computer's desktop. This may include the desktop background,
icons of files and folders, and open windows. It may also include
whatever is being displayed by currently running programs.
Screenshots are and easy way to save something you see on the
screen, such as an open window, image, or text article. However,
because screenshots are saved in an image format, the text saved in
a screenshot will not be editable.
Scroll
Wheel
Computer windows are often not large enough to
display the entire contents of the window at one time. Therefore,
you may need to scroll through the window to view all the contents.
Traditionally, this has been done by clicking and dragging the
slider within the scroll bar. However, many mice now come with
scroll wheels that make the scrolling process even easier.
Script
A computer script is a list of commands that
are executed by a certain program or scripting engine. Scripts may
be used to automate processes on a local computer or to generate
Web pages on the Web. For example, DOS scripts and VB Scripts may
be used to run processes on Windows machines, while AppleScript
scripts can automate tasks on Macintosh computers. ASP, JSP, and
PHP scripts are often run on Web servers to generate dynamic Web
page content.
Scroll Bar
When the
contents of a window are too large to be displayed entirely within
the window, a scroll bar will appear. For example, if a Web page is
too long to fit within a window, a scroll bar will show up on the
right-hand side of the window, allowing you to scroll up and down
the page. If the page is too wide for the window, another scroll
bar will appear at the bottom of the window, allowing you to scroll
to the left and right. If the window's contents fit within the
current window size, the scroll bars will not appear.
Scrolling
Most computer programs display their
content within a window. However, windows are often not large
enough to display their entire content at once. Therefore, you may
have to scroll through the window to view the rest of the contents.
For example, on some monitors, a page from a word processing
document may not fit within the main window when viewed at 100%.
Therefore, you may have to scroll down the window to view the rest
of the page. Similarly, many Web pages do not fit completely within
a window and may require you to scroll both vertically and
horizontally to see all the content.
SCSI
Stands for "Small Computer System Interface," and is
pronounced "scuzzy." SCSI is a computer interface used
primarily for high-speed hard drives. This is because SCSI can
support faster data transfer rates than the commonly used IDE
storage interface. SCSI also supports daisy-chaining devices, which
means several SCSI hard drives can be connected to single a SCSI
interface, with little to no decrease in performance.
SD
Stands for "Secure Digital." It is a
type of memory card used for storing data in devices such as
digital cameras, PDAs, mobile phones, portable music players, and
digital voice recorders. The card is one of the smaller memory card
formats, measuring 24mm wide by 32mm long and is just 2.1mm thick.
To give the cards some orientation, the top-rght corner of each SD
card is slanted. Even though the cards are extremely small, as of
late 2004, they can hold up to 8GB of data.
SDK
Stands for "Software Development Kit." An SDK is a
collection of software used for developing applications for a
specific device or operating system. Examples of SDKs include the
Windows 7 SDK, the Mac OS X SDK, and the iPhone SDK.
SDKs typically include an integrated development environment (IDE),
which serves as the central programming interface. The IDE may
include a programming window for writing source code, a debugger
for fixing program errors, and a visual editor, which allows
developers to create and edit the program's graphical user
interface (GUI). IDEs also include a compiler, which is used to
create applications from source code files.
SDRAM
Stands for "Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory."
Yeah, it's a mouthful, but if you memorize it, you can really
impress your friends. SDRAM is an improvement to standard DRAM
because it retrieves data alternately between two sets of memory.
This eliminates the delay caused when one bank of memory addresses
is shut down while another is prepared for reading.
SDSL
Stands for "Symmetric Digital Subscriber
Line." SDSL is a type of of DSL, which is used for
transferring data over copper telephone lines. The
"symmetric" part of the term means that an SDSL
connection has the same maximum upload and download speeds.
ADSL, on the other hand, typically provides much faster
download speeds than upload speeds. Because most Internet users
download much more data than they upload, ISPs usually offer ADSL
connections rather than SDSL.
Search Engine
Google, Excite, Lycos, AltaVista, Infoseek, and Yahoo are all
search engines. They index millions of sites on the Web, so that
Web surfers like you and me can easily find Web sites with the
information we want. By creating indexes, or large databases of Web
sites (based on titles, keywords, and the text in the pages),
search engines can locate relevant Web sites when users enter
search terms or phrases. When you are looking for something using a
search engine, it is a good idea to use words like AND, OR, and NOT
to specify your search. Using these boolean operators, you can
usually get a list of more relevant sites.
Secondary
Memory
Secondary memory refers to storage devices, such as
hard drives and solid state drives. It may also refer to removable
storage media, such as USB flash drives, CDs, and DVDs.
Unlike primary memory, secondary memory is not accessed directly by
the CPU. Instead, data accessed from secondary memory is first
loaded into RAM and is then sent to the processor. The RAM plays an
important intermediate role, since it provides much faster data
access speeds than secondary memory. By loading software programs
and files into primary memory, computers can process data much more
quickly.
Secondary Storage
Secondary
storage technology refers to storage devices and storage media that
are not always directly accessible by a computer. This differs from
primary storage technology, such as an internal hard drive, which
is constantly available.
Examples of secondary
storage devices include external hard drives, USB flash drives, and
tape drives. These devices must be connected to a computer's
external I/O ports in order to be accessed by the system. They may
or may not require their own power supply.

Common Mistakes To Be Avoided (आम गलतियों को टाला जा सकता)
See Watch
‘See’ and ‘watch’ are words that are
commonly misunderstood as being interchangeable, but while both
refer to the optic function, they are not one and the same thing.
They stand for different ways of using the eye.
‘To see’ something is simply to look at it or spot it;
it may be unintentional, ie, you may not have been looking for it.
Example : I saw a man up ahead.
‘To
watch’ something is look at something closely or intently,
generally because it is moving. Example : I watched the movie.
English Improving ,Tips of the Lesson (अंग्रेजी में सुधार, दिन की
टिप्स)
Ambiguous as an Adjective
"Ambiguous"
is perhaps the most commonly used of the variations of the word. In
fact, you can substitute "ambiguous" into the above
sentences. For instance, "In the end, what makes Dostoevsky
such a great novelist are his ambiguous texts." Additionally
you can say, "Stephen always felt that his workplace was too
ambiguous when it came to giving workers orders. What frustrated
him the most was a lack of clear communication a uniform direction
for getting things done." As you can see, various forms of the
word are easy to use interchangeably with little change to the
general context of the sentence.
Ambiguous as an Adverb
When
you use "ambiguous" as an adverb, you are using it to
refer to an action that is being done in an "ambiguous"
manner. The following sentences are great examples of its correct
usage: "Sarah very ambiguously told her husband that she
wasn't feeling well, which obviously masked her real
feelings." Similarly, "John did not understand the
concepts in the class toLesson only because he felt the professor
explained them much too ambiguously."
Ambiguous as a Verb
The
verb form of "ambiguous" is actually less widely used.
"Ambiguate" is rarely used, but it means to make
something unclear or muddled. "Disambiguate" is just the
opposite. The following sentences are good examples of the
verb's proper usage: "Feeling frustrated at his low test
score, John went up to his professor after class and let him know
that he is in the habit of ambiguating crucial concepts."
Similarly, you may look to the following sentence: "When her
husband asked her what was wrong, Sarah simply ambiguated her
feelings, saying only that she did not feel well."
The Etymology of Ambiguous
Surprisingly,
"ambiguous" stems from the Latin word,
"ambiguite" which means something doubtful. More
specifically, the Latin definition also has a verb,
"ambigere" which means to go around or waver. The root of
the word, "ambi" means "both ways." Thus,
something "ambiguous" is unclear precisely because it can
be either positive or negative. Be careful not to confuse
"ambiguous" with the word, "ambivalent," which
means to have mixed or contradictory feelings or ideas.
The above examples are excellent guides for using the word
"ambiguous." Because the word has a variety of
derivatives, it can be used as a noun, an adjective, an adverb, or
a verb. "Ambiguous" has a very simple definition and can
be substituted with synonyms such as "inexact" or
"doubtful." However, beware of confusing
"ambiguous" with "ambivalent," which is a word
with a slightly different meaning. One good way to remember the
definition of "ambiguous" and to help you use it in a
sentence is to keep the root, "ambi" in mind.
"Ambi" refers to something that can go either way and can
shift. Thus, something "ambiguous" is not just unclear,
but it can be either positive or negative.
