| Terminology means Technical Definition, here are some terminologies used for computers, they are categorized alphabetically, either you scroll down the page until you reach the terminology you wants, or it would be easier to click the terminology you want from the list. I hope you like this page and make a good use of it, also there will be an updates in the future, you may visit it regularly. | |

("I Seek You") is a program you can download that will let you know when friends
and contacts are also online on the Internet, page them, and chat with them. In order to
get maximum benefit from ICQ, both parties must have downloaded the ICQ program and have
received a user identification number (UIN). The download and registration procedure are
simple and enable you to send messages, files (single, multiple or whole directories), and
URLs directly to your friends' desktops. In addition, you can initiate an IRC-style chat
session or voice and video-voice connection and play games with other ICQ members that you
are in touch with. Your contact is signalled of an incoming event as soon as it arrives
and has immediate access to it.

| IDE |  |
| IDE
(Integrated Drive Electronics) is a standard electronic interface used between a computer
motherboard's data paths or bus and the computer's disk storage devices. The IDE interface
is based on the IBM PC ISA 16-bit bus standard, but it is also used in computers that use
other bus standards. Most computers sold today use an enhanced version of IDE called EIDE.
IDE gets its name because the disk drive controller is built into the logic board in the
disk drive. IDE was adopted as a standard by ANSI in November, 1990. The ANSI name for IDE is Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA). The IDE (ATA) standard is one of several related standards maintained by the T10 Committee.

| Interlaced | |
| An
interlaced display is a cathode-ray tube (CRT) display in which the lines are scanned
alternately in two interwoven rasters. In a CRT display, there are several hundred horizontal lines in a frame (full screen). These lines are scanned from left to right, and from top to bottom. The refresh rate (number of frames scanned per second) varies, but it is normally between 60 and 100 Hz. Refresh rates slower than 60 Hz produce distracting screen flicker, which can cause headaches and eye fatigue. Most CRT computer monitors scan each line in turn from top to bottom at the lowest resolution levels (640 x 480 and 800 x 600 pixels). However, at the higher resolutions, such as 1024 x 768 or 1200 x 800, the frame is sometimes scanned in interlaced fashion: first the odd-numbered lines, and then the even-numbered lines. This allows for a lower refresh rate without producing flicker. With text and fixed graphics displays, this scheme can work well. However, with animated graphics -- especially images that move or change form rapidly -- interlacing can produce a fluttering effect at least as irritating as screen flicker. For serious animated-graphics work and video editing, a non- interlaced CRT display is recommended. The refresh rate should be as high as the system will allow, ideally 70 Hz or more.
