The terms online and offline (also on-line and off-line) have specific meanings with respect to computer technology and telecommunication. In general, "online" indicates a state of connectivity, while "offline" indicates a disconnected state. In common usage, "online" often refers to the Internet or the World Wide Web. The concepts have however been extended from their computing and telecommunication meanings into the area of human interaction and conversation, such that even offline can be used in contrast to the common usage of online (e.g., "I bought those Marcus Fenix figurines offline"). Another usage runs contrary to the expected meaning: 'offline' as "from an online source", e.g. "I bought my textbook from Amazon" = "I got it offline". Standard definitionsIn computer technology and telecommunication, online and offline are defined by Federal Standard 1037C. They are states or conditions of a "device or equipment" or of a "functional unit". To be considered online, one of the following must apply to a device:
In contrast, a device that is offline meets none of these criteria (e.g., its main power source is disconnected or turned off, or it is off-power). From Wikipedia under the

Q. I would like to open a college account, with applicable tax benefits, if possible, through an online bank to put $ in a MMA or CDs (this is to supplement our 529 for our oldest child). Where is a good online bank to do so? Asked by magy - Fri Oct 17 07:09:49 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Any bank that has weathered the current financial storm is safe to invest in. Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, to give you a couple of examples. Now, when we looked into savings for our children, we decided not to go with a college savings plan; the reason is that if one of our children either gets a full scholarship, joins the armed forces, or whatever else, the money saved would not be used, and by trying to use it on anything else it would be hit with so many penalties that it would be like we never invested the cash in the first place. We decided instead to research a medium risk mutual fund, and have one for each of our kids. As they get closer to college age, we'll probably shift the capital into a low risk fund, but this way,… [cont.] Answered by G B - Fri Oct 17 07:20:51 2008 How to start an online dating site, or a profitable online business and be successful? Q. I'm interested in starting an online business that works. I would consider a dating site, casino site, or other websites that work. I would like to know how I can get stated. I have lots of online experiance. I have looked at many different companies that provide online dating, and casino sites built and read to run. How legit are they, and are their claims for success accurate? They average in price from $499-$12,000. I don't have a lot of money especially to throw away in a scam. What are my best options. I've done ebay, and a few of the online marketing scams that don't work. I'm billingual, English and Spanish, have a two year general degree working on my B.a in business management.

However making it profitable is the real challenge for any online marketer.If you want to make money online, that's great, but you need a system. You need to follow the strategies which are aleready tried n tested & are used by the champions who could make their fortune on the internet. Don't re-invent the wheel - don't make the mistake of wasting time and money in developing a product.Because you know nothing (I believe so) at the moment about internet marketing. So you must work with someone who can prove their system - be cautious and careful. You need to crawl first before you can walk or run - the best way to learn is to become an Affiliate Marketer.

Q. I'm currently a senior at a university in Minnesota. I'm currently getting a degree in Human Resource Management. I'm thinking about getting a master's in Human Resource Management, but I would have to do it online. I've looked at different universities and can't find anywhere that does that degree online. I'm not sure about online universities like the University of Phoenix, Devry, and others. How do employers look upon what type of school you went to? Asked by goshimwaycool - Sun Oct 12 21:38:03 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Clemson ( does HR development online. Webster does both HRM and HRD online.

UTexas Boston U ( SUNY - Buffalo Florida State Middle Tennessee Northeastern (Boston) Rochester Inst. Tech. Stony Brook U Wisconsin (Stout and Whitewater) What matters is not whether it's online or classroom but the reputation of the college awarding the degree. Those "as seen on TV" schools don't have the same reputation as the traditionalists - even when teaching online. And, very often, the traditional colleges are much less expensive.
