I am an imbecile when it comes to Computers. (for now)

And I know you Hypographers are pretty crafty with these fandangled contraption thingees...

 

I gleened a lot about Mac's and Computer software stuff in the "Do You Mac?" thread

So thank you!! :)

 

I may learn something yet. :doh:

OH!

See Martijn Koster's Web Robots pages. You'll learn more than you want to know even though it's a pretty dated collection. Look for slurp under it's old name, Inktomi.

You dont use any instant messaging programs?

 

Its a program that lets you talk to people through the internet in real time - some offer voice conversations but most are text based.

Nope.

 

The only thing I do online is Hypography and Google searches.

minus the internet porn! ;)

 

I only use a computer for typing up research papers and assignments for school.

 

I am such a Virgin.

I don't play video games either...I am pretty clueless really.

 

So thank you for your help.

I should post this in postmagnet,

 

but what do I need to do to post ICQ?

If I have their number, what do I need to do??

I don't have an ICQ number as far as I know? ;)

[Jay-qu]

you need to go and download ICQ just google it, it will carry you through the installation and the rest is faily intuitive - but if you need any more help just give us a yell ;)

The Internet is for porn. :)

post to answer all your questions

 

What the hell are Yahoo Slurp Spiders?

These are search engine bots, which are generaly programs that collect documents from the web to build up a search index for a search engine, Slurp is an example of one, Google bot is another one that we very commonly see on Hypography. More info on Googlebot (and really any search bot) you can find on this wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googlebot

what exactly a Slurp bot is, what it does and how scary it is, you can find on this Yahoo FAQ: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp/index.html

 

What is ICQ? and what does it do? and how?

this could be a PH.D. thesis, but generaly, it is an instant messenger that was created by an Israily company, Mirabilis in 1996. The users are given a UIN (universal internet number) from 300,000,000 to 1 and anything in between, some people focused on taking over and selling low 6, 5, 4 and 3 digit nunbers, some i beleive are still availble for sale on Ebay. ICQ was far ahead of its time with its features back in its day, they were the first to come out with features like offline support, multi-user character-by-character chats, resumable file transfers, SMSes, greeting cards and more including P2P type searchable directory and POP3 support...

if you are interested, AOL Instant Messenger is an add-supported instant messaging program. It differs from the MSN protocol, because it allows one buddy to add another buddy without the other buddy authorization. Somewhere in version 2 the AIM software added the ability of users to create chatrooms and the ability to share file. Version 4 for windows brought the ability to play games against your buddies and WildTangent, which is an adware (and you can quote me there all you want). Some aim clients allow stuff like video conferencing over the AIM protocol and so forth, my personal favorite aim client is GAIM found at http://gaim.sourceforge.net/about.php, and a wiki article on it found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaim
