terminology

How are the two "trapezoids" that appear during text selection (in the emulator) called? Where can I find more information about how to control them programmatically? For further clarity, I am attaching a snapshot where you can see the left & right "text-selection trapezoids": We just call them cursor controllers, or handles. Lokesh to be precise .. In android terminology it is "SelectionModifierCursorController" CJBS It would appear based on the name of the images used to display these handles that they're called Text Select Handles, of which there's a Left Text Select Handle; Right Text

I am quite puzzled with these two terminologies. I know the basic meaning of metadata is "data about the data" . Microdata means the webpages are now more accessible to the search engines . But what separates these two terms? unor Microdata is the name of a specific technology, metadata is a generic term. Metadata is, like you explain, data about data. We’d typically want this metadata to be machine-readable/-understandable, so that search engines and other consumers can make use of it. In the typical sense, metadata is data about the whole document (e.g., who wrote it, when it was published

Subquestion to my question [1]: All definitions of (MS SQL Server) index (that I could find) are ambiguous and all explanations, based on it, narrate something using undefined or ambiguously defined terms. What is the definition of index? For ex., the most common definition of index from wiki ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_(database) ) : 1) "A database index is a data structure that improves the speed of data retrieval operations on a database table at the cost of slower writes and increased storage space. Indexes can be created using one or more columns of a database table..." 2) "SQL

Possible Duplicate: What is the difference between a ‘function’ and a ‘procedure’? I searched online for an answer to this question, and the answer I got was that a function can return a value, modify a value, etc., but a subroutine cannot. But I am not satisfied with this explanation and it seems to me that the difference ought to be more than just a matter of terminology. So I am looking for a more conceptual answer to the question. A function mirrors the mathematical definition of a function, which is a mapping from 1 or more inputs to a value. 1 A subroutine is a general-purpose term for

I am trying to learn MS Batch, and I was specifically trying to understand the "setlocal" and the "enabledelayedexpression" aspects, when I came across vocabulary I did not understand: execution time and parse time jeb The parser has different phases, when parsing a single line. So the percent expressions are all expand when a line or block is parsed, before the line (or any line in a block) is executed. So at execution time they can't change anymore. set var=origin echo #1 %var% ( set var=new value echo #2 %var% ) echo #3 %var% It outputs #1 origin #2 origin #3 new value As at parse time #2
