=terms for the computer : =  = **ASCII ** -- (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) = This is the defacto world-wide standard for the code numbers used by computers to represent all the upper and lower-case Latin letters, numbers, punctuation, etc. There are 128 standard ASCII codes each of which can be represented by a 7 digit binary number: 0000000 through 1111111.  A organization (usually a business) that runs one or more applications on their own servers and provides (usually for a fee) access to others. Common examples of services provided this way include web-based software such as Calendar systems, Human Resources tools (timesheets, benefits, etc.), and various applications to help groups collaborate on projects. **Bandwidth ** How much stuff you can send through a connection. Usually measured in bits-per-second (//bps//.) A full page of English text is about 16,000 bits. A fast modem can move about 57,000 bits in one second. Full-motion full-screen video would require roughly 10,000,000 bits-per-second, depending on compression. **Binary ** Information consisting entirely of ones and zeros. Also, commonly used to refer to files that are not simply text files, e.g. images.
