Absturz :: Der Satz "Mein Rechner ist abgestürtzt." wird oft von Nutzern unausgereifter Betriebssysteme verwendet. Dieser Satz meint eigentlich, daß das Betriebssystem bei der Verwaltung der Resourcen versagt hat. URL :: Steht für Uniform Resource Locator und ist eine "Ortsangabe" im Internet. Ein URL besteht aus einem Protokoll (z.B. http, ftp, telnet, gopher, news, mailto, file), der Zeichefolge "://", einem Hostnamen oder einer IP-Adresse, sowie (optional) dem Verzeichnis bzw. einem Dateienamen. Beispiel: http://www.linux.de/ Die My-Opinion-Gruppe: IMO In My Opinion meiner Meinung nach IMHO In My Humble Opinion meiner bescheidenen Meinung nach IMCO In My Considered Opinion meiner wohlueberlegten Meinung nach IMNSCO In My Not So Considered Opinion meiner nicht so wohlueberlegten Meinung nach IMNSHO In My Not So Humble/Honest Opinion meiner nicht so ehrliche/bescheidenen Meinung nach Andere: FYI For Your Information zu deiner Information BTW By The Way so nebenbei:.../wo wir gerade dabei sind:...
