Taboo (2002 TV series)Taboo is a documentary television series that premiered in 2002 on the National Geographic Channel. The program is an educational look into "taboo" rituals and traditions practiced in some societies, yet forbidden and/or illegal in others. Each hour-long episode details a specific topic, such as marriage or initiation rituals, and explores how such topics are viewed throughout the world. Taboo generally focuses on the most misunderstood, despised, or disagreed-upon activities, jobs, and roles.
Audio over IPAudio over IP (AoIP) is the distribution of digital audio across an IP network such as the Internet. It is used increasingly to provide high-quality audio feeds over long distances. The application is also known as audio contribution over IP (ACIP) in reference to the programming contributions made by field reporters and remote events. Audio quality and latency are key issues for contribution links. In the past, these links have made use of ISDN services but these have become increasingly difficult or expensive to obtain.
Orthogonal basisIn mathematics, particularly linear algebra, an orthogonal basis for an inner product space is a basis for whose vectors are mutually orthogonal. If the vectors of an orthogonal basis are normalized, the resulting basis is an orthonormal basis. Any orthogonal basis can be used to define a system of orthogonal coordinates Orthogonal (not necessarily orthonormal) bases are important due to their appearance from curvilinear orthogonal coordinates in Euclidean spaces, as well as in Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian manifolds.
Income inequality metricsIncome inequality metrics or income distribution metrics are used by social scientists to measure the distribution of income and economic inequality among the participants in a particular economy, such as that of a specific country or of the world in general. While different theories may try to explain how income inequality comes about, income inequality metrics simply provide a system of measurement used to determine the dispersion of incomes. The concept of inequality is distinct from poverty and fairness.
ANSI CANSI C, ISO C, and Standard C are successive standards for the C programming language published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 14 of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Historically, the names referred specifically to the original and best-supported version of the standard (known as C89 or C90). Software developers writing in C are encouraged to conform to the standards, as doing so helps portability between compilers.

C++11C++11, anciennement connu sous le nom de C++0x, est une norme pour le langage C++ en informatique. Elle a été approuvée unanimement le . Elle remplace la précédente norme, ISO/CEI 14882, publiée en et mise à jour en . Ces dernières sont plus connues sous les noms informels de C++98 et C++03. C++11 introduit plusieurs nouveautés au langage initial, ainsi que de nouvelles fonctionnalités à la bibliothèque standard du C++ comme la plupart des bibliothèques du Technical Report 1, à l'exception de la bibliothèque de fonctions mathématiques spéciales.
Special right triangleA special right triangle is a right triangle with some regular feature that makes calculations on the triangle easier, or for which simple formulas exist. For example, a right triangle may have angles that form simple relationships, such as 45°–45°–90°. This is called an "angle-based" right triangle. A "side-based" right triangle is one in which the lengths of the sides form ratios of whole numbers, such as 3 : 4 : 5, or of other special numbers such as the golden ratio.
Attaque de Mers el-KébirL'attaque de Mers el-Kébir est une attaque menée du au par la Royal Navy contre une escadre de la Marine nationale française dans le port militaire français de Mers el-Kébir, en Algérie. L'attaque est menée par le Royaume-Uni dans le cadre de l'opération Catapult, une semaine avant la remise des pleins pouvoirs à Philippe Pétain. La France et le Royaume-Uni n'étant pas en guerre au moment de l'attaque, elle marque une rupture entre les deux pays.
