~hey guys this is the continuation of the common wares definition that are usually used by technological groups. So check it out…
Ace File:
The first file in a series of compressed archives (the one you double click on to decompress all the files at once).
Active List:
Similar to a mailing list, but uses ICQ to send instant messages to subscribers.
Alpha:
Software receives this label when it is in the very early stages of development. Usually full of bugs, so don’t touch it with a barge pole.
Anti-Leech:
A system which uses cgi scripts to prevent people stealing links and then taking the credit for uploading the files.
Appz:
Short for applications. For example Flash 5 or GoLie 5.5.
ASF File:
The worst quality movie file format (still pretty good though), much smaller in size than dat or mpg.
Banner Site:
Password and username restricted FTP site. To get the correct login details you must click on several banners.
Beta:
An acronym for Business Software Alliance, an organisation who are responsible for enforcing anti-piracy litigation. Similar groups in charge of controlling software “theft” include the SIIA, SPA and ELSPA.
BSOD:
Many people read about BSODs on bulletin boards and think that they’re being insulted, but there is no need to get paranoid. It is actually an acronym for “Blue Screen Of Death”. These can occur for a multitude of reasons (old Bill likes to keep us guessing!) and are the bane of PC user’s lives.
Bulletin Board:
A virtual meeting place on the web similar to a chat room except that it isn’t in real time. One person leaves a message then others come along, read it and add a reply. Each new discussion is called a new topic or thread and has it’s own link. Whenever a new topic is created the older topics are pushed one place downwards in the list. When someone replies to an older topic it is brought back to the top of the list.
