Host: This is a computer that acts as a server for other computers on the network. It can be a Web server, an e-mail server or an FTP server. For instance, a Web host is what provides the content of Web pages to the computers that access it. Emoticon: Emoticons are the little text-based faces and objects you often see in e-mail and online chat. They help give the reader a sense of the writer’s feelings and what they mean in their writing. For example, the classic =) shows that the writer is happy about something or that he is has taken a message in good humour. The =P is used to show frustration, a feeling of irony. Spam:
Spam is the term, which has originated from the name of Hormel’s
canned meat; spam is junk mail on the Internet. The most common form
of spamming is through e-mail, like those dang forwards persons you
hardly know send you. Spam can also be annoying postings to a
newsgroup or bulletin board. Spamming other persons is one of the most
notorious violations of the Internet etiquette or
"netiquette". |
