.info

The domain name info is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) in the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet. The name is derived from information, though registration requirements do not prescribe any particular theme.

The info TLD was a response to ICANN's highly publicized announcement, in late 2000, of a phased release of seven new generic top-level domains. The event was the first addition of major gTLDs since the Domain Name System was developed in the 1980s. The seven new gTLDs, selected from over 180 proposals, were meant in part to take the pressure off the com domain.

The info domain has been the most successful of the seven new domain names, with over 5.2 million domain names in the registry as of April 2008. After the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of New York switched to the easier to remember mta.info website to lead users to latest information on schedules and route changes on the area's transportation services. ICANN and Afilias have also sealed an agreement for country names to be reserved by ICANN under resolution 01.92.

Environment variable

Environment variables are a set of dynamic named values that can affect the way running processes will behave on a computer.

They are part of the environment in which a process runs. For example, a running process can query the value of the TEMP environment variable to discover a suitable location to store temporary files, or the HOME or USERPROFILE variable to find the directory structure owned by the user running the process.

They were introduced in their modern form in 1979 with Version 7 Unix, so are included in all Unix operating system flavors and variants from that point onward including Linux and OS X. From PC DOS 2.0 in 1982, all succeeding Microsoft operating systems including Microsoft Windows, and OS/2 also have included them as a feature, although with somewhat different syntax, usage and standard variable names.

Details

In all Unix and Unix-like systems, each process has its own separate set of environment variables. By default, when a process is created, it inherits a duplicate environment of its parent process, except for explicit changes made by the parent when it creates the child. At the API level, these changes must be done between running fork and exec. Alternatively, from command shells such as bash, a user can change environment variables for a particular command invocation by indirectly invoking it via env or using the ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE=VALUE <command> notation. All Unix operating system flavors, DOS, and Windows have environment variables; however, they do not all use the same variable names. A running program can access the values of environment variables for configuration purposes.

Info (band)

HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "Side_Members" is not recognized

Info is an industrial rock band from Bogotá, Colombia.

History

Info was formed in 2000 by Camilo Z. on lead vocals, Alex L. on drums (former members of punk band Eskizofrenia) and guitarist John C.. First songs came from this trio, but bassless live sound was weak. As Milton R. became a member of the band as bassist, the loops, electronics effects and samplers came with him. Milton R. was the drummer for alternative post-punk band Santaraña and BrujoNitro, a power-metal band from Bogotá, leaving percussion behind for playing bass on Info instead. Alex L. was 2nd. drummer for 1280 Almas, a famous band in the early 1990s at Colombia. Once this members are full involved with the band, artistic and musical concept spins on the Man of the Future idea.

The name Info comes from the word information, which represents all the new breed needs for being smart and powerful in the future: there are no limits for information in nowadays... "Internet, media, networks exist for the human being evolution and reached by everyone" (John C. on interview for Radioactiva 97.9 FM, Colombia - March 2005).
