Array does not have to be a simple list of keys and values; each array element can contain another array as a value, which in turn can hold other arrays as well. In such a way you can create two-dimensional or three-dimensional array.

You use it everyday for everything. You can’t spend a minute without it. It’s everywhere, on your phone, on your laptop, iPods, Televisions, you bedroom, toilet, everywhere! It’s the internet. But, if you’ve ever thought how it reaches you scroll down to pictures to know how huge chunks of internet data are transferred millions of kilometers here and there, in just seconds.
Not everything is wireless, most of it’s still under water and under ground even though we are growing fast. Have a look in this PDF document. Source: [Etiole] |

Restore Show Desktop Icon in Windows Vista
Filed Under Computer Software | Comments Off
I’ve received dozens of emails asking how to restore the show desktop icon once you’ve deleted it, so I have a solution for everybody: I’ve zipped up a copy of the shortcut, and you can download it here.
To put it back into the Quick Launch folder, open up explorer and then type in the following into the address bar:
shell:Quick Launch
Now just unzip the file and copy it into the folder, and you’ll have the show desktop shortcut back (the one with the real icon)
Note that I have no idea if this will work for 64-bit Windows, or if you have Vista installed somewhere other than your C: drive. Please let me know if it doesn’t.

- On the left sidebar, there is an “Edit Page” button. Click it.
- On the right, look for a box saying “Promote your page”.
- Click “Send an update to Fans”.
- Type in your message and off it goes!
- Check the “Target this update” box to choose the kind of audience you want to reach with this update.
And that’s it, you’re done!
