N.s.i ?
 
What does NSI stand for in computer terms. I think it is Network Solutions something? But what does the I stand for?

There is a domain name registrar called Network Solutions (NSI). I think it's Network Solutions Incorporated.

There is another NSI in computer terms and that is Name Service Interface (NSI). Someone else might know more about what that means. If I find some sort of definition I'll post it.

[There is also an NIS (not NSI though).. Network Information Service]

p.s. again... if you ever need to define something, a good trick is to go to google and type in define colon and then the thing you want to find.

"define: the word or phrase"

I never knew that about 'google' (define:...xxx...).
Thank you, Lara.

You're very welcome. :D

It's a really handy feature. There are some others, but I'm not quite awake yet. I'll post them when I can remember them. lol

;) editing 1 hour and 8 minutes later.................

Bob, there's more in google help http://www.google.com/help/features.html
Actually there are all these things in there I didn't know about that would make things easier for me when searching. I think I knew this one below at some stage but had forgotten all about it.

e.g. "The word "site" followed by a colon enables you to restrict your search to a specific site. To do this, use the site:sampledomain.com syntax in the Google search box. For example, to find admission information on Stanford's site, enter:"admission site:www.stanford.edu"

etc. etc. etc.
