In computing, an address space defines a range of discrete addresses, each of which may correspond to a physical or virtual memory register, a network host, peripheral device, disk sector, or other logical or physical entity. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) allocates ranges of numbers to various registries in order to enable them to each manage their particular address space.

Overview

Address spaces are created by combining enough uniquely identified qualifiers to make an address unambiguous. For a person's physical address, the address space would be a combination of locations, such as a neighborhood, town, city, or country. Components of an address space may be the same but unless all are identical, the locations will be different. An example could be that there are multiple buildings at the same address of "32 Main Street" but in different towns. Or in the same town but different states. An example of how address spaces work in computing is Internet domains, where the same filename, say, "index.html" can be unique even though it is resident on millions of domains.

What is the difference between process identifier(pid)and address space identifier of process ?
Q. Regarding Operating System
Asked by shwetank2003819 - Sun Apr 2 06:16:38 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Process ID (PID) is a unique identifier given by the process scheduler to each individual running process on an operating system. It's a way to identify each process. PID is a positive integer from 1-65535. Address space is the memory space given to a specific process ID at execution time. This memory is only accessible to this specific process and only while executing. Address space is used by the process to store internal data, variables and structures.

A. Go to "View", then "Toolbars", and then click on "Address Bar" if it isn't checked. If that doesn't work I don't know what does; that's the only way I've ever known of getting it back or hiding it.

Do UFO supporters ever address the issue of space travel?
Q. I see many people argue using image and tales of funny stuff in the skies, but no one really address the rational behind UFO visiting Earth, such as how can they spend million of years traveling across the universe, in a small compact flying plate No matter who what where, everything in the universe is still bounded by the law of physics, no? Do these people even know any actual astronomy facts?

A. As you can see, UFO supporters generally don't have an answer for how their alleged aliens manage interstellar travel: they just wave their hands about how aliens must be so much smarter. If an alien showed up at Earth, that would be the proof first that they existed, and second that they had the physical capability to travel interstellar distances. But that hasn't happened yet, so there's no point in claiming that aliens MUST have that understanding. Logically this fallacy is known as "converting the conditional." Trying to attribute UFO sightings to space aliens works only if you have knowledge of what properties those space aliens and their toys have. If you're just guessing, then you can't rationally explain UFOs as space aliens… [cont.]
