If the radio is to be tunable, this means that several tuned circuits have to be tuned in step, a problem overcome in the superhet radio design." current

For example connecting to a computer with port number 80, the connection will be routed to the computer's web server software, or if you want an encrypted connection you connect to TCP port 443. Many other services for example email, DNS, time services, file and print services are distinguished by well known port numbers." current

That public key can then be used to digitally sign a web page coming from the web site. The digital certificate itself is signed by a chain of higher level digital certificates ending in a "root certificate" which everyone trusts."

So for example, E12 resistors come in 12 values per decade, each roughly 20% greater than the last. See E Series in Wikipedia for more details." current

It has contacts on both sides of an edge which mates with a socket (hence "Dual In-line") and contains a number of individual memory chips. There are several different standard sizes and each may contain various types and speeds of memory chip. An SODIMM is a..."

When they activate it your phone will go dead and they will then be able to request SMS-based password resets for your email and other online accounts, all of which will now go to their phone instead of yours. This is going to be a very bad day for you." current

AES is the commonest example. A problem is that for two parties to communicate securely they first need to securely agree a key. Public key cryptography overcomes this, but is computationally much more expensive." current
