Snapshot (computer Storage)
In computer systems, a snapshot is the state of a system at a particular point in time. The term was coined as an analogy to that in photography. It can refer to an actual copy of the state of a system or to a capability provided by certain systems. Rationale A full backup of a large data set may take a long time to complete. On multi-tasking or multi-user systems, there may be writes to that data while it is being backed up. This prevents the backup from being atomic and introduces a version skew that may result in data corruption. For example, if a user moves a file into a directory that has already been backed up, then that file would be completely missing on the backup media, since the backup operation had already taken place before the addition of the file. Version skew may also cause corruption with files which change their size or contents underfoot while being read. One approach to safely backing up live data is to temporarily disable write access to data during t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Snapshot (photography)
A snapshot is a photograph that is "shot" spontaneously and quickly, most often without artistic or journalistic intent and usually made with a relatively cheap and compact camera. Common snapshot subjects include the events of everyday life, often portraying family members, friends, pets, children playing, birthday parties and other celebrations, sunsets, tourist attractions and the like. Snapshots can be technically "imperfect" or amateurish: poorly framed or composed, out of focus, and/or inappropriately lighted by flash. Automated settings in consumer cameras have helped to obtain a technologically balanced quality in snapshots. Use of such settings can reveal the lack of expert choices that would entail more control of the focus point and shallower depth of field to achieve more pleasing images by making the subject stand out against a blurred background. Snapshot photography can be considered the purest form of photography in providing images with the characteristics tha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Snapshot (video Game)
''Snapshot'' is a platform game developed by Retro Affect and released on 30 August 2012 for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Gameplay The player controls a character with fairly standard 2-D controls: left, right, duck, and jump. The player also controls a camera viewfinder, the Snapshot of the title, with the mouse. When a snapshot is taken of an in-game object, it disappears from the gameworld and is stored on the camera; the stored images can then be pasted into new parts of the gameworld to overcome an obstacle. The objects and elements that can be captured have a wide range of different properties or utilities, such as elephants that serve as walking springboards or gusts of wind that can push the player across long gaps. In addition to completing the individual levels, there are also awards given for collecting all stars in a level, beating time challenges and taking snapshots of specific items in a level and retaining them until the level is exited.

Snapshot (RuPaul Song)

Critical reception Larry Flick from ''Billboard'' wrote, "It has been way too long since La Ru served his many club disciples with a new anthem. Now teamed with the equally festive folks at Rhino, he makes up for lost time with a fun single that could easily match the success of his signature 'Supermodel' breakthrough. He is once again strolling up and down the runway, playfully spouting on the joys of being the life (and centerpiece) of the party. Catchy as can be, the song is supported by a bevy of cute remixes that range in tone from jittery EuroNRG to shimmy-inducing pop/house. Pick one and work it."
