bandwidth (foldoc) | bandwidth
The difference between the highest and lowest
frequencies of a transmission channel (the width of its
allocated band of frequencies).
The term is often used erroneously to mean data rate or
capacity - the amount of data that is, or can be, sent
through a given communications circuit per second.
[How is data capacity related to bandwidth?]

fixed-width (foldoc) | record
fixed-width
records
row
An ordered set of fields,
usually stored contiguously. The term is used with similar
meaning in several different contexts. In a file, a "record"
probably has some fixed length, in contrast to a "line" which
may have any length and is terminated by some End Of Line
sequence). A database record is also called a "row". In a
spreadsheet it is always called a "row". Some programming
languages use the term to mean a type composed of fields of
several other types (C calls this a "struct").
In all these cases, a record represents an entity with certain
field values.
Fields may be of a fixed width (bits or characters) or
they may be separated by a delimiter character, often
comma (CSV) or HT (TSV).
In a database the list of values of a given field from all
records is called a column.

low-bandwidth (foldoc) | low-bandwidth
[communication theory] Used to indicate a talk that, although
not content-free, was not terribly informative. "That was a
low-bandwidth talk, but what can you expect for an audience of
suits!" Compare zero-content, bandwidth, math-out.
[Jargon File]

snr bandwidth product (foldoc) | SNR bandwidth product
The integral of the SNR over frequency.
The SNR bandwidth product is an important limit in the
capacity of a communication channel.

bandwidth (jargon) | bandwidth
n.
1. [common] Used by hackers (in a generalization of its technical meaning)
as the volume of information per unit time that a computer, person, or
transmission medium can handle. “Those are amazing graphics, but I missed
some of the detail — not enough bandwidth, I guess.” Compare {low-bandwidth
}; see also brainwidth. This generalized usage began to go mainstream
after the Internet population explosion of 1993-1994.
2. Attention span.
3. On Usenet, a measure of network capacity that is often wasted by
people complaining about how items posted by others are a waste of
bandwidth.
|
brainwidth (jargon) | brainwidth
n.
[Great Britain] Analagous to bandwidth but used strictly for human
capacity to process information and especially to multitask. “Writing email
is taking up most of my brainwidth right now, I can't look at that Flash
animation.”

low-bandwidth (jargon) | low-bandwidth
adj.
[from communication theory] Used to indicate a talk that, although not {
content-free}, was not terribly informative. “That was a low-bandwidth
talk, but what can you expect for an audience of suits!” Compare {
zero-content}, bandwidth, math-out.
