Open-source software is often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-source development and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated contentor (legally defined) open-content movements.

Web Server

A web server is a computer system that processes requests via HTTP, the basic network protocol used to distribute information on the World Wide Web. The term can refer either to the entire system, or specifically to the software that accepts and supervises the HTTP requests. The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, or other web uses. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Use your phone’s camera to solve equations with PhotoMath

The developer calls it the world’s first camera calculator. I call it a valuable tool for a parent helping with his kid’s math homework and attempting to remember grade-school arithmetic or middle-school algebra. With PhotoMath , you can simply snap a picture of a math equation and it instantly delivers the answer, while also providing step-by-step instructions on how to solve it. As with any calculator tool, its power could be harnessed for evil. Students will certainly use PhotoMath to do the heavy lifting for them, scanning their math homework with the app and scribbling down the answers without learning the concepts. Used the right way, however, PhotoMath can help students check their work and show them how to arrive at the correct answer. And it can help parents brush up on math lessons learned long ago. Here’s how it works: Step 1: Place the equation inside frame while holding the phone directly above. You can drag to adjust the size and shape of the fra
