Product activation is a license validation procedure required by some proprietary software programs. Product activation prevents unlimited free use of copied or replicated software. Unactivated software refuses to fully function until it determines whether it is authorized to fully function. Activation allows the software to stop blocking its use.
Key Code Qualifier is an error-code returned by a SCSI device. When a SCSI target device returns a check condition in response to a command , the initiator usually then issues a SCSI Request Sense command .
The RFC specifies this code should be returned by teapots requested to brew coffee. [18] This HTTP status is used as an Easter egg in some websites, such as Google.com's "I'm a teapot" easter egg. [19] [20] [21] Sometimes, this status code is also used as a response to a blocked request, instead of the more appropriate 403 Forbidden. [22] [23]
[1]: §21.4.24 487 Request Terminated Request has terminated by bye or cancel. [1]: §21.4.25 488 Not Acceptable Here Some aspect of the session description or the Request-URI is not acceptable. [1]: §21.4.26 489 Bad Event The server did not understand an event package specified in an Event header field. [4]: §7.3.2 [6]: §8.3.2
The American mathematician Richard Hamming pioneered this field in the 1940s and invented the first error-correcting code in 1950: the Hamming (7,4) code. [5] FEC can be applied in situations where re-transmissions are costly or impossible, such as one-way communication links or when transmitting to multiple receivers in multicast.
Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) may provide stronger protection against soft errors by relying on error-correcting codes. Such error-correcting memory, known as ECC or EDAC-protected memory, is particularly desirable for mission-critical applications, such as scientific computing, financial, medical, etc. as well as extraterrestrial ...
