21 Advanced Power Management
An older power management technology used in mobile PCs before the implementation of Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). Advanced Power Management is a software interface that functions between the BIOS power-management software that is specific to the hardware and a power-management policy driver that is run by the operating system. -
22 APM

24 Basic authentication
"An authentication mechanism that is supported by most browsers, including Internet Explorer, and encodes (but does not encrypt) user name and password data before transmitting it over the network." -
25 CRC
"A procedure used in checking for errors in data transmission. CRC error checking uses a complex calculation to generate a number based on the data transmitted. The sending device performs the calculation before transmission and includes it in the packet that it sends to the receiving device. The receiving device repeats the same calculation after transmission. If both devices obtain the same result, it is assumed that the transmission was error free. The procedure is known as a redundancy check because each transmission includes not only data but extra (redundant) error-checking values. Communications protocols such as XMODEM and Kermit use cyclical redundancy checking." -
26 cyclic redundancy check
"A procedure used in checking for errors in data transmission. CRC error checking uses a complex calculation to generate a number based on the data transmitted. The sending device performs the calculation before transmission and includes it in the packet that it sends to the receiving device. The receiving device repeats the same calculation after transmission. If both devices obtain the same result, it is assumed that the transmission was error free. The procedure is known as a redundancy check because each transmission includes not only data but extra (redundant) error-checking values.

28 DCE
"A set of standards from the Open Group (formerly the Open Software Foundation) for development of distributed applications that can operate on more than one platform. One of two types of hardware connected by an RS-232-C serial connection, the other being a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) device. A DCE is an intermediary device that often transforms input from a DTE before sending it to a recipient. A modem, for example, is a DCE that modulates data from a microcomputer (DTE) and sends it along a telephone connection." -
29 JIT debugging
A technique that catches faults that occur while the program is running outside the development environment. You must set this option in the development environment before executing your program. -
30 just-in-time debugging
A technique that catches faults that occur while the program is running outside the development environment. You must set this option in the development environment before executing your program. -
31 modal dialog

32 parameter
"In programming, a value that is given to a variable, either at the beginning of an operation or before an expression is evaluated by a program." -
33 shutdown
The process of quitting all programs before closing the operating system. -
34 sleep
A power-saving state that allows the computer to quickly resume full-power operation (typically within several seconds) when you want to start working again. All open documents and programs are saved to memory before the computer enters the low-power state. -
35 Time to Live
A timer value included in packets sent over TCP/IP-based networks that tells the recipients how long to hold or use the packet or any of its included data before expiring and discarding the packet or data. -
36 TTL
A timer value included in packets sent over TCP/IP-based networks that tells the recipients how long to hold or use the packet or any of its included data before expiring and discarding the packet or data. -
37 token
"For networking, a unique structure or message that circulates continuously among the nodes of a token ring and describes the current state of the network. Before any node can send a message on the network, it must first wait to control the token." -
38 virtual address
"In a virtual memory system, the address the application uses to reference memory. The kernel and the memory management unit (MMU) translate this address into a physical address before the memory is actually read or written." -
39 caption section
The section on a grouped data access page that displays captions for columns of data. It appears immediately before the group header. -
40 leader character
"A dot, hyphen, or other character used to create a line that fills the space before a tab stop."
