Make Money on Your Profile
Monetization is taking place every where and people are not willing to loose a chance if they are willing to get monetized anywhere. Keeping that in mind this site has started and they provide dynamic banners which we can keep in our profiles in social media sites and we can get money from people clicking those banners. The banners work with .php and hence no problem with scripting coz some sites dont accept scripts. The advantage of registering with this site is you get $1 for each referral that signs up under you.
MAKE MONEY on your PROFILE - ProfileDough.com
But there are more disadvantages rather than advantages with this site. You get only 2cents per click which really sucks right now. In the past myspace did not allow Adsense and hence at that time this one rocked. But now bad luck. But you can try it on other social media sites. Even the above one can be berable but this one is really pissing. You need to reach $50 for payout. If you want to get your money for $20 then you need to give them 75% back as a penality it seems. But if you reach that payout mark of $50 then you dont need to give back anything. This one only works if you have a good network of people joining under you. Finally want to say that this is not that much recommended but anyway if you like just join.

September: The Archie Search Engine
The Web’s first search engine was Archie. It was nothing like today’s Google or Yahoo or Live Search; it was an Archive that catalogued a list of FTP sites & requested for updates once every month! Launched on 10th September 1990, this system quickly expanded from being a local tool, to being available on a network, to being a popular service available all over the Web. The servers on which Archie was hosted could be accessed by the local client xarchie, to sending queries via e-mail, and later via Web interfaces, like we do today.
The name Archive was derived from the word archive, Clones of Archie- Jughead and Veronica – were, however, inspired by the comic book series.
Then talking about search engines, we should talk about Gopher, which was created in 1991 by Mark McCahill, Farhad Anklesaria, Paul Lindner, Dan Torrey, and Bob Alberti of the University of Minnesota. Gopher was designed to act as an anonymous FTP service while trying to incorporate new web features. It contained a file like hierarchical system that was familiar to users, an easy-to-use syntax, was free to use, and could be created easily.
The name Gopher was chosen because its users would program it to “go for” information.
The Gopher protocol ceased gaining popularity as soon as it was made famous. The primary reasons for this were the University of Minnesota’s announcement on charging licensing fees for the use of its Gopher server, Web browsers like Mosaic quickly duplicated Gopher’s functionality & finally, because its defined file format & structure was too rigid to use.
December: The Internet is Born
The Internet was originally envisioned by Tim Berners Lee, an independent contractor at CERN in 1980, when he created a database software to catalogue people and software models while working at CERN, In this database, each new page of information had to be linked to an already existing page, a term later known as hypertext. He called his software ENQUIRE.
The World
The first ISP on the planet to offer basic dial-up access was the World. Operated by Software Tool and Die, it is headquartered in Brookline, Massachusetts. It used to use the domain name http://world.std.com earlier, but now uses mainly http://www.TheWorld.com
By 1983, the ARPANET was complete & had a total of 213 Universities connected all over the US. Robert Cailliau joined him in 1990, and the duo tried CERN to adopt their technology.
By December of 1990, Berners Lee had built all the required software to run the first web browser, called the World Wide Web, the first web server, and first web pages that described the project. However, the browser ran only on his NeXT system, which was far superior to computers available to the general public at the time.
In 1991, tests were on to make a multi-line text base browser that would run on any computer irrespective of the hardware or OS used. To encourage its use within CERN, they put up the entire CERN telephone directory on the web. Earlier, users had to dial into the mainframe to get the required telephone number, which could take several minutes.
In May of 1991, Paul Kunz from the standard Linear Accelerator Centre (SLAC) visited CERN and was fascinated b the web. He took with him the NeXT software, which was later ported to run on the VM/CMS OS of an IBM mainframe computer. This mainframe contained a catalogue of all the online documents in SLAC. This became the first web server outside CERN & the first in North America. Then in August of 1991, Berners Lee posted a summary of the World Wide Web project on the alt. hypertext newsgroup. This was also the time when the Internet became a publicly available service.
By 1992, early users of the web were navigating through pages that had HTTP links or hypertext menus presented as a file system. Since the number of new pages was growing rapidly, users book marked popular directory pages such as http://info.cern.ch/, or NCSA’s “What’s New” page. The graphical browser gap was filled in April 1992 with the release of Erwise & Viola WWW in May. These browsers could view embedded graphics & animation and paraphrase scripting code. The release of the Mosaic browser in 1993 helped revolutionize the browsing experience.
The first International WWW conference was held at CERN in May 1994. It was agreed that the web protocol and code could be used by anyone for free. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was founded in September 1994, with Tim Berners Lee as its founder.
The years 1996 to 2000 saw a dramatic rise of the Web where many companies were starting to offer commercial services till the 2001 “dot-com bubble” burst.

The World Wide Web
The era of Microsoft dominating the PC took off with the introduction of Windows 3.0. It was launched on 22nd May 1990, and rivaled the Macintosh and Amiga on the GUI front.
The biggest advantage of Windows 3.0 was that it could be used with different PC processors and could run on the 80386, 80286, and below. When run on the 386, the speed and stability it offered were unparalleled.
Its MS-DOS file manager/program launcher was replaced with Program Manager, there by simplifying the process of viewing and launching files and applications. Like in the Macintosh, all system settings were relocated to one place on the OS called the Control Panel. All this came bundled with a text editor called Notepad and a simple word processor software called Write. There were two games pre-packaged in the OS- Reversi and Solitaire.
Around 1991, multimedia extension was released to support sound cards, graphic cards and CD-ROM drives. Microsoft sold more than 10 million copies of Windows 3.0.

How TCP/IP Works?
Data sent across the internet is broken up into packets of less than about 1500 characters each. Each packet is given a “header” which holds the information needed to put the packets back in right order again. To each header is adder a “checksum” basically a number that checks whether the precise amount of data in the packet has been received or not. Each packet is put into what is called an IP “envelope” a packet of data with a common address and other specifications. Once the packets go through the routers to their destination, TCP at the receiver’s end, calculates a checksum for each packet and then packet and then compares it with the checksum that was sent in the packet. If these don’t match, the computer figures that the data has been corrupted en route, discards the packet, and requests the sender to resend the packet. TCP then assembles them into their original coherent form to allow the receiving computer to make sense of it.
None of would possible, however , without a DNS server acting as mediator.

TCP/IP
The current protocol is called IPv4. Each IP address is actually just four number each ranging from 0 to 255 (each of which is called an “octet”) and separated by decimal points (called dots). IP addresses are, therefore in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where each xxx could be any number from 0 to 225. So an IP address could look something like 161.184.138.36. This address is essential during every exchange of data on the Internet, because it identifies the client computer (which makes the request, and to which the data must be sent) and the destination can happen on the Internet unless your computer is first assigned an IP address.
Say you have specified the IP address of a Web site you wish to access. A server usually has a static IP address. However, your home PC, if you are connecting to the Internet through a modem, is usually assigned a different IP address by the ISP each time you dial in. This IP address is unique to you as a user, but only for as long as the session lasts. The reason for this system is that ISPs have to deal with a large number of requests at the same time. Besides, at any given time, the number of users of the ISP server is limited. To assign permanent IP address to retail users wouldn’t really be required; instead, ISPs simply allot any IP address that is not being used at the time to each user who has just dialed in. This system enables the ISP to get along with fewer IP addresses for the number of users who are connected simultaneously.TCP breaks down and reassembles packets of data. IP ensures that the packets are sent to the right destination. The TCP/IP combination is used because the Internet is a “packet-switched” network. In a circuit- switched network, in contrast, once a connection is made, that specific part of the network is exclusively used only for that connection. “In a packed-switched network”. The connection between sender and the receiver is not single and unbroken. When information is sent, it is broken into small packets and sent over many different routes at the same time and then put together in order at the other end once the pockets of data reach the destination.
