OK, guys and gals, here's a bit of an easy one to start with - IT abbreviations & acronyms. All You have to do is say what these terms stand for and give a brief definition. No googling, and I expect Kitz to get top marks. :-\
Good Luck! :)
1) URL
2) SSL
3) ODBC
4) RAID
5) SDHC
6) CPU
7) MPLS
8 ) PCI
9) DNS
10) SCSI
11) ADSL
12) IDE
Answers will be posted on Friday.

>> I expect Kitz to get top marks
heh - tbh theres a couple that I'd have to take a stab at and guess - so thats highly unlikely. :D
I can think of at least one reg on this forum who would do better than me on this quiz.
I'll let others have a go first though before I put my answers down - or do you want me to list them now?

:lol: brilliant - gold star award goes to Dave

I suppose that as a penguin lover I should say nothing at all. :-X

Eric .. have a ppppppenguin ;D
-
BTW, next week's astounding trivia is already prepared... think I'll stick to posting on tuesdays, if that's OK with everyone. :)
-
>> Eric .. have a ppppppenguin
Thanks Kate. I shouldn't really, but....
-
Dave, they're awesome definitions!! :D

OK, here's the answers... not too difficult was it?
1) URL
Uniform Resource Locator (the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web)
2) SSL
Secure Sockets Layer (a protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet)
3) ODBC
Open DataBase Connectivity (a standard database access method developed by the SQL Access group in 1992)
4) RAID
Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks (a category of disk drives that employ two or more drives in combination for fault tolerance and performance)
5) SDHC
Secure Digital High Capacity (a type of flash memory card based on the SDA 2.00 specification)
6) CPU
Central Processing Unit (the brains of the computer, sometimes referred to simply as the processor)
7) MPLS
MultiProtocol Label Switching (an IETF initiative that integrates Layer 2 information about network links - bandwidth, latency, utilization) into Layer 3 (IP) within a particular autonomous system--or ISP--in order to simplify and improve IP-packet exchange)
8 ) PCI
Peripheral Component Interconnect (a local bus standard developed by Intel Corporation)
9) DNS
Domain Name System (or Service or Server) - an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses
10) SCSI
Small Computer System Interface (a parallel interface standard used by Apple Macintosh computers, PCs, and many UNIX systems for attaching peripheral devices to computers)
11) ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (a technology that allows more data (than traditional dialup) to be sent over existing copper telephone lines)
12) IDE
Intelligent (or Integrated) Drive Electronics (an interface for mass storage devices, in which the controller is integrated into the disk drive)
Well done everyone, and Dave gets an extra point for coming up with the best post I've read in ages.

>>> I suppose that as a penguin lover I should say nothing at all
nope - best not since youre out numbered when it comes to who uses what operating systems.
But then again... we may even agree. ???
