Consensus |
|
Strictly speaking, a state when all interested parties agree to support
an action or decision, even though all of them may not fully agree
that it is the best action or decision. (i.e. consensus is not equivalent
to unanimous) Many Open Directory Project issues (e.g. reorganizations)
strive for consensus among interested editors. |
|
| Conversion
Rate |
| An equation
that determines the number of visitors that become something else
like subscribers, buyers or members. For example, the conversion rate
of visitors that subscribe to a newsletter = number of visitors divided
by number of subscribers. If a website has 10,000 visitors and 500
subscribe, the conversion rate equals 1 in 20. |
|
| Cookie |
| The most
common meaning of "Cookie" on the Internet refers to a piece
of information sent by a Web Server to a Web Browser that the Browser
software is expected to save and to send back to the Server whenever
the browser makes additional requests from the Server. |
|
| Depending
on the type of Cookie used, and the Browsers' settings, the Browser
may accept or not accept the Cookie, and may save the Cookie for either
a short time or a long time. |
|
| Cookies
might contain information such as login or registration information,
online "shopping cart" information, user preferences, etc.
|

|
When a Server receives a request from a Browser that includes a Cookie,
the Server is able to use the information stored in the Cookie. For
example, the Server might customize what is sent back to the user,
or keep a log of particular users' requests. |
|
| Cookies
are usually set to expire after a predetermined amount of time and
are usually saved in memory until the Browser software is closed down,
at which time they may be saved to disk if their "expire time"
has not been reached. |
|
| Cookies
do not read your hard drive and send your life story to the CIA, but
they can be used to gather more information about a user than would
be possible without them. |
|
| Crontab |
| Crontab
is a Unix command for scheduling jobs which will be executed sometime
in the future. A cron is usually used to schedule a task that is executed
periodically - for example, to send out an e-mail message to specified
people every month. Being a daemon process, it runs continuously,
waiting for specific events to occur. |
|
| CSS
(Cascading Style Sheet) |
| A standard
for specifying the appearance of text and other elements. CSS was
developed for use with HTML in Web pages but is also used in other
situations, notably in applications built using XPFE. CSS is typically
used to provide a single "library" of styles that are used
over and over throughout a large number of related documents, as in
a web site. A CSS file might specify that all numbered lists are to
appear in italics. By changing that single specification the look
of a large number of documents can be easily changed. |
|
| A W3C recommended
language for defining style (such as font, size, color, spacing, etc.)
for web documents. |
