Visual Basic 2005 In A Nutshell: Operators
White Papers All data ultimately breaks down into single bits of 0 and 1. And the whole reason a computer exists is to manipulate those single bits of data with basic operators. Operators are the basic data manipulation tools of any programming language.

Security Considerations For The Next Generation Networks & IPv6
White Papers The extension of address bits from the existing 32 bits to 128 bits helps in adding much more nodes. The introduction of IPv6 will take care of the interoperability with existing Internet devices. The scalability of multicast routing is improved.

IPv6 And Infranets
White Papers Increasing address size from 32 bits to 128 bits for a total of 3.4 x 1038 addresses IPv6 ensures that infranets can be expanded both logically and geographically. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) plays a key role in this transformation.

Film Color Space
White Papers Digital bits are used to describe variations of color in several ways. The simplest concept that will help you understand how color is described by a computer is to remember this: binary digital bits (0s and 1s) describe VARIETY, not color.

Is Extensibility Giving You A Headache?
Blog Comment We're no longer worried about extending storage capacity because storage is essentially dumb - it's not application aware; it's metal bits on a spinning platter, and the game is about fitting more bits on the platter.
