dynamic IP

A randomly assigned internet protocol from a pool of IPs owned by your ISP. The IPs are all usually in the same range, and you are given the first free IP when you log on. This means that your IP will change every time you log on (although there is a chance that you could dial up an IP used before).

The benefit of this method (as opposed to static IP is not security, but rather the ISP not having to maintain an IP for every customer, thus saving money. However, this means that only a set number of customers can be online at a time. This also makes the connection slower.

AOL and its subsidiaries (compuserve etc.) use a dynamic IP system. These companies have terrible reputations.

O'clock

a) The hour on a 12 hour clock.

b) The position of something to you, 12 O'clock being straight ahead, six being behind, 3 O'Clock 90 degrees clockwise and 9 being 90 degrees anti-clockwise.

The time is 9 O'clock (well, 21:29) and having found no good tv, I turned on the PC and defined this word and a half.



Charlie at five o'clock sir!

need-to-know basis

Fairly self-explainatory, a tight security method in which information is only given to those who can present a good case for knowing about a project.

The example is classified, and given out on a need-to-know basis only. Obviously, it isn't funny.
