.NET Framework - A programming infrastructure created by Microsoft for building, deploying, and running applications and services that use .NET technologies, such as desktop applications and Web services. The .NET Framework contains three major parts:

The Common Language Runtime
The Framework Class Library
ASP.NET.

802.11 - 802.11 refers to a family of specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN technology. 802.11 specifies an over-the-air interface between a wireless client and a base station or between two wireless clients. The IEEE accepted the specification in 1997.

There are several specifications in the 802.11 family:

802.11 - applies to wireless LANs and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band using either frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS).

802.11a - an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless LANs and provides up to 54 Mbps in the 5GHz band. 802.11a uses an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing encoding scheme rather than FHSS or DSSS.

802.11b (also referred to as 802.11 High Rate or Wi-Fi) - an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless LANS and provides 11 Mbps transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band.

802.11b - uses only DSSS. 802.11b was a 1999 ratification to the original 802.11 standard, allowing wireless functionality comparable to Ethernet.

802.11g - applies to wireless LANs and provides 20+ Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.

10Base-T - An Ethernet network standard that uses twisted-pair wires to achieve data transfer speeds of up to 10 Mbps.

100Base-T - An Ethernet network standard, also known as Fast Ethernet. 100Base-T uses the same media and topology as typical Ethernet, but uses different network Interface cards to achieve data transfer speeds of up to 100 Mbps.

3-D Modeling Software - Graphics software used to create electronic models of three-Dimensional objects. Types of 3-D modeling software include surface, solid, polygon, and spline-based modelers.

3-D Worksheet - In a spreadsheet, workbook that contains multiple individual worksheets. The user can "layer" the individual sheets and perform calculations that include data from any or all sheets.

5x86 - A line of microprocessor produced by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which competes with Intel's Pentium series of microprocessor. The 5x86 line has a clock speed of 133 MHz and is roughly equivalent to the 75 MHz Pentium chip.
