How to Join IRC Networks
An IRC Network hosts channels (more about that in a minute) on which you can chat and interact.

There are many (tens of thousands or more) IRC networks, which can host anywhere from one to many thousand channels.

List of Native 64-bit Applications
On April - 26 - 2011Comments Off
Yesterday, we showed you how to tell whether you’re using 32 or 64 bit Windows and in the past we’ve shown you why you should use 64-bit Windows. Today we share a list, shown to us by Windows Forums member Jeet.
What does “Native” Mean?
Native is a term often used in the compting world to describe true compatibility. When something is native (in this case, a software program), it means it’s built to work completely in an environment (your PC) without compatibility patching. 32-bit programs will work in a 64-bit environment but to be truly “native” they need to be built for 64-bit addressing and communication with hardware without compatibility fixes.
In other words, 64-bit applications are designed to work in a 64-bit environment and, as a result of this, often perform better. To explore the merits of 64-bit, read this guide.
