Basically, a DLL file contains code/info that is frequently used by programs, which simply use its code/info instead of having >=duplicate code/info within their own resources. This often saves space and effort, but sometimes generates more effort due to compatibility issues & whatnot, hence the idea of "DLL hell".

It's a Dynamic Library Link which is a Windows thing. It's basically a group of APIs which offers hooks into whatever the DLL claims to be.

soundcard.dll for example may contain functions to play or record sounds. You can then call these without having to write your own which would could require low-level knowledge of how the soundcard works...

No, it's not a Windows thing. They're just called different things in different OSes.

Hmmmm - strange quiz. I couldn't answer more than half of the questions (I suppose that means I could answer less than half of them,) and yet it gave me a an extension anyway (in a manner of speaking )

Not quite sure about this; off to try the "which OS are you" quiz.

Elfstone.

Edit: Ummm, sorry that hasn't worked - I don't know how to make the picture appear here.

I'm two new ones:



Heh. I think I qualify as colorful, and I do distort the truth. As for preferring pictures - text-based games are my best friend.



Ooh... I don't have an older brother, and I don't look too good, but I do zone out a lot.

Oh, and I just got PHP.

I am constantly changing the way I do things, and I do confuse people, especially when programming is involved.

I can't see how you get an OS. It isn't on the screen that shows all the possible answers...

When you finish the quiz, it shows you links to other quizzes like it.
Hitting Continue twice then submit is a quick way to get there.

Haha. I like some of the descriptions for them. I'm a .exe, which is me on occasions, until I start complaining about the quality of the work I'm told to do and decide to do illegal operations.
