Description |
| CACHE |
In browsers, "cache" is used to identify a space where web pages you have visited are stored in your computer. A copy of documents you retrieve is stored in cache. When you use GO, BACK, or any other means to revisit a document, the browser first checks to see if it is in cache and will retrieve it from there because it is much faster than retrieving it from the server. |
| Case Sensitive |
Capital letters (upper case) retrieve only upper case. Most search tools are not case sensitive or only respond to initial capitals, as in proper names. It is always safe to key all lower case (no capitals), because lower case will always retrieve upper case. |
| CDSL |
Acronym for Consumer Digital Subscriber Line. Rockwell's new technology for digital modems that will use regular telephone lines and run at speeds up to 1 MBps. |
| CGI |
CGI stands for Common Gateway Interface. CGI extends the capabilities of a Web server so that your Web site can communicate with another script or application. CGI programs are the most common way for Web servers to interact dynamically with users. |
| chat |

Internet Relay Chat or IRC is an Internet protocol for chat, and there are many other chat systems in services like Delphi. Other commonly used chat systems are iChat and ICQ. |
