AP, AR, GL abbreviations. Please explain, thank you!

Kedra — Thu, 21 May 2009 23:13:23 GMT

My company sells the software for creating property management web sites. One of our perspective customers told this: "I want a smooth and easy merge with the word processor for all data fields which include late notices, price increases, general mailings for self storage rentals. Rent roll, vacancy listing, auto monthly billing, AP, AR, GL" I did managed to find the definitions for self-storage, rent-roll, etc, but I failed to find anything which can explain AP, AR and GL in this context. Also, not sure I understood "word processor". Any help will be much appreciated.

Acronyms and the use of 'a' vs. 'an'

Guest — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 00:13:23 GMT

Working in the technology industry, I end up using a lot of acronyms. The old schoolhouse rules of "'a' before a constanant except specific exceptions" doesn't seem to sound right in some cases. For instance, "What is a XML?" vs. "What is an XML?". It seems that "What is a PSP?" is correct, but "What is a FPU?" seems awkward. Is there a diffinitive rule for these kinds of scenarios?

Auto mount and play ISO images

Mike in Japan — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 00:13:23 GMT

This is not a language question, but does anyone know a convenient way to automount and play (using one's nominated player - in this case Zoom) DVD ISO files from the hard drive? I guess I'm really looking for a 'one click' solution if possible. Cheers

Advice on how to make a webpage

Woodward — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 18:55:13 GMT

Something funny I stumbled across today was the following about how to make a webpage: http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail51.html It shows someone answering an e-mail when asked the question above. For English learners it contains some simple IT vocabulary with the words appearing on the screen and someone reading them aloud. Personally it made me laugh (so 90s!).

Experimentation

chflb — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 10:24:52 GMT

Hello all, + I'd like to get your opinion please; can I use the word "Experimentation " in an IT context? (for example, Exprimentation of a software) + Can I call the enterprise, in which I did my internship, the "host" company ? or is there a more convenient compound noun? Best Regards.

Difference between Linux and Windows Hosting

Woodward — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 13:53:37 GMT

I am not a techy guy at all but I have a couple of simple websites I play around with. I was looking to experiment with another website and when I was looking into external hosting options, I came across two. What is the difference between Linux hosting and Windows Hosting? Is there a real difference in speed or use? Are there certain things you can and cannot do with Linux hosting compared to Windows? I don't have the time nor expertise to run my own server so the site would be on a hosting company (like GoDaddy). Is there a difference with maintenance / running a site on the two operating systems on your own server compared to on an external server? It's not really an English question but still a good way to practise...

Compounds: On-the-fly

EagerSeeker — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 00:13:23 GMT

Hi, compounds are confusing me this time and especially in IT English. I just found an interesting compound called on-the-fly and I am not quite sure how to understand it in different situations. So I have studied that we have following kinds of compounds: Compound nouns Compound adjectives Compound verbs In which category I should put the compound on-the-fly depending on the situation? 1. Creating a web page on-the-fly . Is the compound on-the-fly used here as some kind of compound adverb (like I could say, for example, Creating a web page quickly )?. 2. On-the-fly programming Is the compound used here simply as a compound adjective (like I could say, for example. Quick programming). Thanks in advance!

EagerSeeker — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 00:13:23 GMT

Hi, I have been reading programming books lately and I have wondered how to read numbers refering to diagrams and figures. Is there a special way to do that? Here is my try, what do you think about it? "In Figure 3-6 it indicates that the Properties tool window will appear..." (In Figure three six... or In Figure three dash six...) "Figure 3-14 shows the Keyboard node..." (Figure three fourteen...) Thanks and Merry Christmas!

PlzCorrectMe -> short note about MIDI

PlzCorrectMe — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 23:13:23 GMT

Most modern music is mixed through computers. Musicians record their music into MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) system. MIDI developed as a standard interface that links music synthesizers and music instruments together. Computers fitted with MIDI interface boards can be connected to MIDI instruments allowing the music to be stored on computers and displayed on monitor. The music can be displayed as a musical score and edited by using of all features of a mixing desk. The music can be printed out from the computer while it is being played.

PlzCorrectMe: short writing about DVD

PlzCorrectMe — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 00:13:23 GMT

DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) is an optical storage that is similar by size and thickness to Compact Disks but its capacity is more. For instance DVD can hold complete high quality movie. Another difference is that DVD drives use blue laser instead of red laser that CD drives use. Blue laser has shorter wavelength than red one i.e. data can be stored denser. DVD can be double-sided. Each side can have two layers top layer with 4.7GB capacity and bottom layer with 3.8GB. These disks can provide totally 17GB space. Data transfer rate of these DVD’s is twice of CD-ROM.

KiB, MiB, KB, MB are prefixes or suffixes?

McoreD — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 00:13:23 GMT

Hi Guys, By definition: prefix is a type of affix that precedes the morphemes to which it can attach. A suffix is an affix that succeeds the morphemes to which it can attach. So when you say 700 MiB, is "MiB" really a prefix or a suffix? It's amazing to see almost every popular article use the phrases "binary prefixes", "SI prefixes" etc. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_prefix http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html Why they use the word "prefix" instead of "suffix" is beyond me. Can anybody please explain? Thank you in advance, McoreD<
