ISO 3166-2:GB - ISO 3166-2:GB The ISO 3166-2 codes for the United Kingdom correspond to the nation's administrative divisions. The first part of each code is the ISO 3166-1 code GB for the United Kingdom, and the second part is a three-letter code, which is the same as in the British Standard BS 6879. The purpose of this family of standards is to establish a worldwide series of short abbreviations for places, for use on package labels, containers and such. Anywhere where a short alphanumeric code can serve to clearly indicate a location in a more convenient and less ambiguous form than the full place name. US readers may wish to consider them as the equivalent of worldwide zip or postal codes. Within the Wikipedia, the codes from the country pages.

Karl Guthe Jansky - a 30 meter diameter dish antenna. But Bell Labs had the answer they wanted about static: the static was not a problem for transatlantic radio communication. Jansky was assigned to another project and did no more radio astronomy. Many scientists were fascinated by Jansky's discovery, but no one followed up on it for several years. It was during the Great Depression, and observatories could not afford take on any new projects. Two men who learned of Jansky's discovery in 1933 were of great influence on the later development of the new study of radio astronomy: one was Grote Reber, who singlehandedly built a radio telescope in his back yard in 1937 and did the first systematic survey of radio waves from the sky. The second was John Kraus, who, after World.
Key signature - or space as its five sharps is increased from its natural pitch by a semitone. Although key signatures can technically consist of any collection of sharps or flats, musical tradition dictates that they be arranged in a fixed order according to the key and mode of the piece. As each major key has an equivalent relative minor key that may be represented with the same key signature. The same also applies to other modes such as Lydian and Phrygian. The table below illustrates the number of sharps or flats for each key signature and the relative major key signatures for minor scales. See: circle of fifths. Key Sig. Major Scale Minor Scale 0 C major A minor 1# G major E minor 2# D major B minor 3# A major F#.
Keydrive - 1.0/1.1 speeds of 1.5 Mbit/s or 12 Mbit/s. However, newer USB keys had the capability to utilize the high-speed USB 2.0, which tops out at 480 Mbit/s. They have ranged from a few megabytes in size up to a few gigabytes, although some computers have trouble reading and writing to devices that have more than 2 GB of storage. Most USB flash drives are small and lightweight. Some are light enough that they could hypothetically be carried by 14 ants. They are popular with people who need to carry data between home and school or work. Theoretically, the flash memory in the drives can retain data for 10 years. Some computers have the ability to boot up from keydrives, but that capability must be supported in the computer's BIOS. See also.

Johann Christian Gunther - and a true ear for melody and rhythm; but an air of cynicism is more or less present in most of them, and dull or vulgar witticisms are not infrequently found side by side with the purest inspirations of his genius. Gunther's collected poems were published in four volumes (Breslau, 1723-1735). They are also included in vol. vi. of Tittmann's Deutsche Dichter des 17ten Jahrh. (Leipzig, 1874), and vol. xxxviii. of Kurschner's Deutsche Nationalliteratur (1883). A pretended autobiography of Gunther appeared at Schweidnitz in 1732, and a life of him by Siebrand at Leipzig in 1738. See Hoffmann von Fallersleben, J. Gb. GUnther (Breslau, 1833); O. Roquette, Leben und Dichten J. Ch. Gunthers (Stuttgart, 1860); M. Kalbeck, Neue Beiträge zur Biographie des Dichters C. Gunther (Breslau, 1879). Based on an article.

Integer (computer science) - this is a joke on the word "byte". One nybble corresponds to one digit in hexadecimal and binary-coded decimal. Pointers A pointer is often, but not always, represented by an integer of specified width. This is often, but not always, the widest integer that the hardware supports directly. The value of this integer is the memory address of whatever the pointer points to. Bytes and Octets The term byte initially meant "the least addressable unit of memory". In the past, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, and 9-bit bytes have all been used. There have also been computers that could address individual bits ("bit-addressed machine"), or that could only address 16- or 32-bit quantities ("word-addressed machine"); the term "byte" was not used at all in connection with these machines. The term octet always.
IPod - A 10GB version was announced in March 2002, and a 20GB version in July. On April 28, 2003, Steve Jobs introduced an "ultrathin" iPod series, which introduced a non-mechanical touch-sensitive scroll wheel and other upgrades. These were originally sold in 10, 15, and 30 GB versions. In September 2003 the 15 and 30GB versions were replaced by 10, 20 and 40GB versions, and then 15, 20, and 40 GB versions by January 2004. In January 2004 Apple introduced a smaller version, the iPod mini, with 4 GB of storage, while also increasing the storage of the "low-end" version from 10 to 15GB. Firmware upgrades have added some PDA functions. Some of the iPod software was developed by Pixo, a company founded by two of the developers that had worked on the.

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 - they are used to form country code ccTLDs, with some exceptions e.g. Great Britain, where ICANN did not follow the ISO 3166-1 and used UK instead of GB. The two-letter ISO 3166-1 codes form the first two letters of the three-letter ISO 4217 standard codes for currencies. They are also used for International Bank Account Numbers, the ISO 6166 International securities identification numbering (ISIN) system, ISO 7372, ISO 9375, the ISO/IEC 7501-1 machine readable travel documents standard, UN/LOCODE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Recommendation 16, for encoding names of ports), and WIPO standard ST.3 (for encoding country which issued a patent or trademark). Changes to ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 are tracked by ISO 3166-3. Note that AA, ZZ and the ranges QM-QZ and XA-XZ are reserved for private use. In addition,.

Hard disk - tolerances than in a floppy disk. Consequently, hard disks can store much more data than floppy disk, and access and transmit it faster. In 2003, a typical workstation hard disk might store between 60 GB and 120 GB of data, rotate at 5400 to 10,000 rpm (revolutions per minute), and have an average transfer rate of about 30 MByte/sec. The fastest workstation hard drives spin at 15,000 rpm. Notebook hard drives are generally smaller and slower than their desktop counterparts, they spin usually at 4200 rpm. Hard disk hardware Typical hard drives of the mid-1990s. () The disk drive is a type of disk storage that stores and retrieves digital data from a planar magnetic surface. Information is written to the disk by transmitting an electromagnetic flux through an.
History of Microsoft Windows - connectivity options, and the efficient NTFS file system. Windows NT version 3.51 was Microsoft's stake into this market, a large part of which would be won over from Novell in the following years. One of Microsoft's biggest advances initially developed for Windows NT was new 32-bit API, to replace the legacy 16-bit Windows API. This API was called Win32, and from then on Microsoft referred to the older 16-bit API as Win16. Win32 API had three main implementations: one for Windows NT, one for Win32s (which was a subset of Win32 which could be used on Windows 3.1 systems), and one for Chicago. Thus Microsoft sought to ensure some degree of compatibility between the Chicago design and Windows NT, even though the two systems had radically different internal architectures. Windows 95.
Game Boy Advance - GB software (that is, software developed for Game Boy and Game Boy Color machines) and new software developed for the more advanced capabilities of the system. It has hardware support for simple 2D operations using graphical elements called sprites. It can scale, rotate, sum-blend, and alpha-blend sprites against a background (with one alpha value for the whole screen, not the alpha-blending of image edges you see in the PNG format), and it can change the scaling and rotation of sprites and the background on each scanline to give a pseudo-3D effect. It has a custom 32-bit 16.8 Mhz ARM processor based on a RISC architecture, which is much more compatible with the C programming language than the 8-bit Z80 compatible processor used in older Game Boy models. The ARM processor can.
