What Is Y2K? 2007-07-29 17:26:00 Y2K was the abbreviated name of the Millennium Bug. Short for "Year 2000", Y2K refers to a bit-saving technique used in antiquated computer systems in which two digits were used to represent years, instead of the usual four digits. Thus, for example, the year "1984" would be represented as simply "84". Many such systems only supported dates from 1900 to 1999, with the year 1999 rolling back to 1900 after December 31, 1999. Although most computer systems in use at the turn of the century had been designed to support dates later than December 31, 1999, certain legacy systems that had not been expected to last into the new millennium at the time of their creation were at risk of serious fault should they have encountered the new dates. Of particular interest were banking, government, and other financial systems, many of which perform calculations based upon date. Having the systems perform date arithmetic with a 100 year discrepancy in the actual data would have created unusual, and in so

New Ways to Use Your Webcam 2007-08-21 04:51:00 I've owned a webcam for years, but until recently I never had much use for it. Sure, from time to time I'd try a video-conferencing service like Skype or SightSpeed, but they always left me disappointed. I know these services have plenty of PC Magazine enthusiasts, but I'm not among them, yet. (Q: "Can you see me now?" A: "Not very well.") And if you're not using your webcam to connect with faraway friends or relatives, what's the point of having one? Here's one thought: What if you could turn your webcam into a TV camera, able to broadcast live video virtually anywhere in the world? Here's another: What if you could record a talking-head video of yourself that would pop up on your Web site, giving visitors a surprising, personalized greeting? One more: Use your webcam to record a video greeting to send via e-mail instead of boring old text. These three ideas are behind a trio of new Web services, all of them free, all of them offering a lot more bang for your Read more:New Ways
