How do you know whether the software you’re downloading is truly free?

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Here’s a quick guide to the terminology of free and almost-free software.

2. Freeware - Programs that you can download, install, and run without charge or limitation of any kind. Freeware may be from a company or an individual, who may or may not provide support.

2008 A Leap Year

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

A Leap Year (or intercalary year) is a year containing one or more extra days (or, in case of lunisolar calendars, an extra month) in order to keep the calendar year synchronised with the astronomical or seasonal year. For example, February would have 29 days in a leap year instead of the usual 28. February 29 is a day added into a leap year, a 60th day of the Gregorian calendar. There are 306 days remaining till the end of the year.

February 29 is also known as bissextile day. A year which has a February 29 is, by definition, a leap year. This date occurs only every four years, in years evenly divisible by 4, such as 1988, 1996, 2008 or 2016, with the exceptions in century years not divisible by 400, such as 1900.
