Difference between HTTP and HTTPS

HTTP and HTTPS

The main difference between http:// and https:// is It's all about keeping you secure HTTP stands for HyperText Transport Protocol, which is just a fancy way of saying it's a protocol (a language, in a manner of speaking) for information to be passed back and forth between web servers and clients.
The important thing is the letter S which makes the difference between HTTP and HTTPS.
The S (big surprise) stands for "Secure". If you visit a website or webpage, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://. This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular 'unsecure' language. In other words, it is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with the website. If you fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site. This is why you never ever enter your credit card number in an http website!
But if the web address begins with https://, that basically means your computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can eavesdrop on.
You understand why this is so important, right? If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card information, you should automatically look to see if the web address begins with https://. If it doesn't, there's no way you're going to enter sensitive information like a credit card number!

Humor with computers!!!!

Sometimes while I work , I really get irritated especially if there is an issue which refuses to resolve fast.The other day I came across some good humor related with computers .I have mentioned them below so that you guys can aslo have a hearty laugh

1>Q: What is the difference between Windows 95 and Windows 98? A: 3 years

2>“As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise that it wasn’t as easy to get programs right as we had thought. Debugging had to be discovered. I can remember the exact instant when I realized that a large part of my life from then on was going to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs.”
Maurice Wilkes discovers debugging, 1949.

3>“Before software can be reusable it first has to be usable.”
Ralph Johnson

4>“The evolution of languages: FORTRAN is a non-typed language. C is a weakly typed language. Ada is a strongly typed language. C++ is a strongly hyped language.”
Ron Sercely

5>“If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.”
Edsger Dijkstra

6>“I’ve finally learned what ‘upward compatible’ means. It means we get to keep all our old mistakes.”
(Dennie van Tassel)


7>“There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.”
(C.A.R. Hoare)

8>“Keyboard not found. Press <> to RESUME. “
Source unknown (appears in many common BIOSes as a real error message)

9>“The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it’s too late.”
(Seymour Cray)

10>“A great lathe operator commands several times the wage of an average lathe operator, but a great writer of software code is worth 10,000 times the price of an average software writer.”
(Bill Gates)

Hope this brought across a smile :)!
