Hello, I was reading an article of my career, especifically programming.
Reading about the new version of linux ubuntu in:
http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/804features/
The article talks about the new features of linux ubuntu 8.04, what you can find and what modules the programmers perform to simplify the use of ubuntu and give it more benefits.
I found two words and i didn't know what does it mean.

The article talks about the new features of linux ubuntu 8.04, what you can find and what modules the programmers perform to simplify the use of ubuntu and give it more benefits.
I found two words and i didn't know what does it mean.
Paragraph:
"Music and video: Plug in your PSP, iPod, MP3 player; share playlists with your friends; buy in the creative commons online music stores, stream more live radio and plug in more devices with UPnP."
Word "stream": It has a lot of meanings, as a noun, as a trasitive verb and as an intransitive verb. The most relative to my reading was:
v.tr. Computer Science. To transmit (data) in real time, especially over the Internet.

So now I can understand where says stream more live radio, that means to tune radio stations in internet.
Word "UPnP": abbrebiation that means "Universal plug and play".
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of computer network protocols promulgated by the UPnP Forum. The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks in the home (data sharing, communications, and entertainment) and corporate environments. UPnP achieves this by defining and publishing UPnP device control protocols built upon open, Internet-based communication standards.

In other words this UPnP is the protocol or the rule in the operative system that allows to "connect" and "disconect" easely, or to plug and unplug devices and to use it just in the moment you conected!

Excellent post Pedro!!! Great reflexion... I didn't know what UPnP meant... now I know... that was a new word for me, too! I loved the fact that you just didn't copy and paste the info but explained the word meanings as you understood them. Thanks Pedro for sharing this cool info.
