What is a flattened image?

A flattened image has only one layer. After the image is flattened, it has the same appearance it had before. The difference is that all of the image contents are in a single layer without transparency. If there are any areas which are transparent through all of the layers of the original image, the background color is visible. By flattening an image we introduce significant changes to the structure of the image. It is normally only necessary when you would like to save an image in a format which does not support levels or transparency (an alpha channel).

How is https different from http?

The "S" in HTTPS indicates a secure site. If you visit a web site or web page, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://. This means that the web site is talking to your browser using the regular 'unsecured' language. In other If you fill out a form on the web site, someone might see the information you send to that site. This is why you never ever enter your credit card number in an http web site! But if the web address begins with https://, your computer is talking to the web site in a secure code that no one can eavesdrop on.

If a web site ever asks you to enter your credit card information, you should look to see if the web address begins with https://. If it doesn't, there's no way you're going to enter sensitive information like a credit card number!

May 23rd, 2014 ADDENDUM:

Before the important informational contributions of Mr. Edward Snowden, it was generally believed the above to be essentially factual. Today however, it

is possible that even TLS/SSL encryption does not guarantee cryptographic

integrity of messages, unfortunately. In all respects, the author of the above answer is, we believe, correct.

Unfortunately, there are other ways to intercept and read date in transit via mechanisms such as the MitM (Man in the Middle) attack, even without the involvement of the NSA.

What was the original purpose of the internet?

The Internet, so powerful for sharing text, images, sounds and videos, is now weakest at doing that for which it was originally designed - exchanging raw data between researchers. Last month, the National Center for Data Mining at the University of Illinois at Chicago launched the first version of an infrastructure called Data Space Transfer Protocol, or DSTP, for creating the next generation web of data

The current Web provides an infrastructure for working with distributed multimedia documents, which are exchanged using the familiar "http," or Hypertext Transfer Protocol. But although a massive amount of data is available online, it is stored in so many different formats that it has become difficult, if not impossible, to analyze and use in research, says Georg Reinhart, visiting research scientist in mathematics, statistics, and computer science at UIC.

"Doctors, for example, often need to share information and data, but each doctor stores and uploads data in his or her own format," Reinhart said. "Astronomers, physicists and other researchers often face the same problem."

According to Reinhart, who developed DSTP with Emory Creel, a colleague at the National Center for Data Mining, the new transfer protocol will unify the way data is stored online. Downloading data from different sites via high-speed networks and analyzing the data in real-time will become possible for the first time.

"DSTP will standardize the way data is shared, the same way HTTP revolutionized the way documents are shared," Reinhart said. "Researchers will be able to search, analyze and mine databases simultaneously, even if the databases contain different types of data." Reinhart predicts DSTP will motivate more researchers to post data globally and lead to "an avalanche" of new and existing data accessible and useful to a wider audience.

What is operating frequency range of Wi-Fi?

Routers have different ranges, usually on the router box it tells you the range. On average it would be around 30 to 40 feet.

Professional routers and bridges in between could make the signal reach hundreds of feet, usually by emulating (bridging) several Wi-Fi's into a single one. There's also expensive antennas that you install outside that reach extremely far, 60 to 80 feet.
