First I will say I am looking an answer which is very much simple and general, with minimal and basic usage of technical terms, just for primal understanding and first steps:
I understand that any Internet address is built from DNS records which actually comprise it... My question is what is the "A" (Address) DNS record? I understood that is some kind of a mapping mechanism that connects the Domain name (I.e Google.com) to it's original I.P address...
Well, I ask mainly what is this a mechanism? where are the maps it creates via I.P <> Domain-name associations are situated? in my DNS register? in my Hosting service? In what programming language this mechanism is written in? Thank you very much for your answers. Ben-Yeudith ( talk) 21:37, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
In discussing various ways of compressing files, the Lossy compression article notes that "Metadata, such as ID3 tags, Vorbis comments, or Exif information, can usually be modified or removed without modifying the underlying data." Not surprising. But why in the world would you want to do this as a method of compression? You save literally just a few bytes per file, not at all a significant total unless you're working with a vast number of little files, in which case it will take a massive amount of time to remove the metadata from all the files. There's no source for this statement in the article, or I'd check it. Nyttend ( talk) 22:28, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
