.com is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) used on the Internet's Domain Name System. It was one of the original top-level domains, established in January 1985. It is currently operated by VeriSign.Although .com domains have always been intended for commercial use, they are currently available for anyone to register. In the 1990s, .com became the most common top-level domain for websites, especially commercial ones, and gave its name to dot-com companies. The introduction of .biz, which is restricted to businesses, has had little impact on the popularity of .com.
Although companies anywhere in the world can register .com domains, many countries have a second-level domain with a similar purpose under their own ccTLD. Such second-level domains are usually of the form .com.xx or .co.xx, where xx is the ccTLD. Australia (.com.au), the United Kingdom (.co.uk), Mexico (.com.mx), New Zealand (.co.nz), People's Republic of China (.com.cn), Japan (.co.jp) and South Korea (.co.kr) are all examples.

Coma Berenices (Berenice's Hair) is a traditional asterism that has since become a constellation. It is located near Leo.
Notable features
The brightest star in Coma Berenices (α Comae Berenices) is named Diadem; it represents the gem in Berenice's crown.
β Comae Berenices is a little brighter than our Sun, which gives us an idea of how faint the Sun would appear seen from only 27 light years away.
Notable deep sky objects
Most of Coma Berenices' stars constitute an open cluster which is not listed in most catalogues because it is spread over a huge region, more than 5 degrees across, near γ Comae Berenices. This cluster is sometimes called Melotte 111.
History and Mythology
This constellation, originally an asterism, is associated with a charming legend. It is one of the few constellations (with Scutum) to owe its name to a historical figure, in this case Queen Berenice II of Egypt, wife of Ptolemy III Euergetes (fl. 246 BC - 221 BC), the king under whom Alexandria became an important cultural center.
Circa 243 BC, the king undertook a dangerous expedition against the Assyrians, who had murdered his sister. Berenice swore to the goddess Aphrodite to sacrifice her famous long hair, of which she was extremely proud, if her husband returned safely. He did, and she had her hair cut and placed it in the goddess' temple.
By the next morning the hair had disappeared. To appease the furious king and queen (and save the lives of the temple priests), the court astronomer, Conon, announced that the offering had so pleased the goddess that she had placed it in the sky. He indicated a cluster of stars that at the time were identified as Leo's tail, but which have since been called Berenice's Hair.

Combinatorics is a branch of mathematics that studies finite collections of objects that satisfy certain criteria, and is in particular concerned with "counting" the objects in those collections (enumerative combinatorics) and with deciding whether certain "optimal" objects exist (extremal combinatorics). One of the most prominent combinatorialists of recent times was Gian-Carlo Rota, who helped formalize the subject beginning in the 1960s. The prolific problem-solver Paul Erdös worked mainly on extremal questions. The study of how to count objects is sometimes thought of separately as the field of enumeration.A quite comprehensive listing by Wikipedia page is list of combinatorics topics.
An example of a combinatorial question is the following: What is the number of possible orderings of a deck of 52 playing cards? That number equals 52! (i.e., "fifty-two factorial"). It is the product of all the natural numbers from one to fifty-two. It may seem surprising that this number, about 8.065817517094 × 1067, is so large. That is a little bit more than 8 followed by 67 zeros. Comparing that number to some other large numbers, it is greater than the square of Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 1023, "the number of atoms, molecules, etc., in a gram mole".
Counting functions
Calculating the number of ways that certain patterns can be formed is the beginning of combinatorics. Let S be a set with n objects. Combinations of k objects from this set S are subsets of S having k elements each (where the order of listing the elements does not distinguish two subsets). Permutations of k objects from this set S refer to sequences of k different elements of S (where two sequences are considered different if they contain the same elements but in a different order). Formulas for the number of permutations and combinations are readily available and important throughout combinatorics.
More generally, given an infinite collection of finite sets {Si} typically indexed by the natural numbers, enumerative combinatorics seeks a variety of ways of describing a counting function, f(n), which counts the number of objects in Sn for any n. Although the activity of counting the number of elements in a set is a rather broad mathematical problem, in a combinatorial problem the elements Si will usually have a relatively simple combinatorial description, and little additional structure.
The simplest such functions are closed formulas, which can be expressed as a composition of elementary functions such as factorials, powers, and so on. As noted above, the number of possible different orderings of a deck of n cards is f(n) = n!.
This approach may not always be entirely satisfactory (or practical) for every combinatoric problem. For example, let f(n) be the number of distinct subsets of the integers in the interval [1,n] that do not contain two consecutive integers; thus for example, with n = 4, we have {}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {1,3}, {1,4}, {2,4}, so f(4) = 8. It turns out that f(n) is the nth Fibonacci number, which can be expressed in closed form as:
where φ = (1 + √5) / 2, the Golden mean. However, given that we are looking at sets of integers, the presence of the √5 in the result may be considered as "unaesthetic" from a combinatoric viewpoint. Alternatively, f(n) may be expressed as the recurrence
which may be more satisfactory (from a purely combinatoric view), since it more clearly shows why the result is as shown.
Another approach is to find an asymptotic formula f(n) ~ g(n) where g(n) is a "familiar" function, and where f(n) approaches g(n) as n approaches infinity. In some cases, a simple asymptotic function may be preferable to a horribly complicated closed formula that yields no insight to the behaviour of the counted objects. In the above example, an asymptotic formula would be
as n becomes large.
Finally, and most usefully, f(n) may be expressed by a formal power series, called its generating function, which is most commonly either the ordinary generating function
or the exponential generating function
where the sums are taken for n ≥ 0. Once determined, the generating function may allow one to extract all the information given by the previous approaches. In addition, the various natural operations on generating functions such as addition, multiplication, differentiation, etc., have a combinatorial significance; and this allows one to extend results from one combinatorial problem in order to solve others.
Results
Some very subtle patterns can be developed and some surprising theorems proved. One example of a surprising theorem is of Frank P. Ramsey:
Suppose 6 people meet each other at a party. Some of those already know each other, some of them do not. It is always the case that one can find 3 people out of the 6 such that they either all know each other or that they are all strangers to each other.
The proof is a short proof by contradiction: suppose that there aren't 3 people who either all know each other or all don't know each other. Then consider any one person at the party, hereafter called person A: among the remaining 5 people, there must be at least three who either all know or all do not know A. Without loss of generality, assume three such people all know A. But then among those three people, at least two of them must know each other (otherwise we would have 3 people who all don't know each other). But then those two also know A, so we have 3 people who all know each other. (This is a special case of Ramsey's theorem)
The idea of finding order in random configurations gives rise to Ramsey theory. Essentially this theory says that any sufficiently large configuration will contain at least one instance of some other type of configuration.

Component Object Model (COM) is a Microsoft technology for software components, also known as ActiveX.
It is used to enable cross-software communication on a computer. Although it has been implemented on several platforms, it is primarily used with Microsoft Windows.
Its precursor was object linking and embedding (OLE). It is to be replaced with the Microsoft .NET framework.
The history of COM
One of the notable thinkers involved in creating the COM architecture was Anthony Williams, who embraced the concept of software components in his papers Object Architecture: Dealing With the Unknown - or - Type Safety in a Dynamically Extensible Class 1988, and On Inheritance: What It Means and How To Use It, 1990.
COM begun as the object linking and embedding technology for compound documents, built on top of dynamic data exchange (DDE), and the VBX (Visual Basic eXtension) controls from Visual Basic 1.0, released in 1991. In 1992, Windows 3.1 was introduced and with it came OLE. (Sometimes referred to as OLE 1.)
Already in 1993, Microsoft released OLE 2 as a sequel to OLE 1, while in 1994 OCX or OLE controls were introduced as the successor to the VBX controls, at the same time stating that OLE was no longer an acronym, but a name for all of the company's component technologies.
Early 1996 Microsoft renamed some parts of OLE relating to the Internet ActiveX, and then gradually renamed what was once OLE (all component technologies) into ActiveX, while OLE took back the role as a compound document technology (as used in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel etc). Later that year, DCOM was introduced as an answer to CORBA.
In September 1997, at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference, the entire component framework was once again renamed into COM, the Component Object Model.
COM+
With the introduction of Windows 2000 Professional, COM was renamed COM+, to signify that substantial changes had been made to the component model. At the same time, DCOM was dropped conceptually.
New things introduced with COM+ was mainly that it could be run in "component farms", managed with the built-in Microsoft Transaction Server. This means that components, if coded properly, may be reused by new calls to its initializing routine without unloading it from the computers memory. They could also be distributed (i.e. you could call on components on a different machine) as was previously only possible with DCOM.
The future of COM and COM+
The COM technology has been strategically replaced by the Microsoft .NET initiative.
There exists a limited backward-compatibility in that a COM object may be used in .NET by implementing a runtime callable wrapper (RCW), and .NET may use COM objects by calling a COM callable wrapper, but in essence, for novel systems COM is to be dropped entirely in favor of .NET.
Technical details
The interfaces of COM objects are distinguished from one another using a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID).
