ESRI developed the shapefile, or SHP, format to hold geospatial vector data, and so ESRI tools are recommended when working with this format. But if you just want to clip a shapefile, you can use other, free tools. You also must use a second shapefile containing the polygon used to clip the initial shapefile. In theory, the common map-editing programs fGIS and QGIS are both able to clip a shapefile, but in practice they will fail when dealing with large files. At the date of publication, using FWTools, an open-source set of binaries, was the easiest, fastest and most reliable…
One of the first applications that many new Visual Basic programmers create is a simple Web browser. Most of these simple browser applications, though, contain only an address bar and a few navigation buttons. If you want to create a VB browser app that is a bit more informative for the user, you should add a status bar at the bottom of the browser application window. The status bar updates the user as the browser connects to pages and objects on the Web. Although adding a status bar may seem complex, it is rather simple if you know the code…

Linguists learn to transcribe using the IPA so they can study how speech and language change over time, how dialects reflect pronunciation variants and how native speakers produce language sounds. To work with the IPA fluently, you need to learn to recognize and transcribe speech quickly and to read transcriptions accurately. Depending on your access to speakers of other languages, you may need to use a combination of live and recorded linguistic sources in your practice and training.

Online links act as our gateway to new websites and information. With some links taking up multiple lines of text space, these gateways can get long. That's where link condensing websites come in. These websites take your long link and condense it into something much more email- and sharing-friendly. The downside is these sites make it easy to mask what's on the other end of a link, offering no way for the link's receivers to know what is on the other side until they click.

Cookies are small pieces of data stored by an Internet browser when you visit certain websites. Primarily, cookies are used to store your account information and browsing settings for various websites that you frequently visit.

If there is an error, the server stops running the file and sends the error to the user through the browser. Webmasters can't know that errors have occurred on the user's side unless it is reported, which isn't done every time a user encounters an error. Sending the errors to a log file lets the webmaster keep up with them.
