This dictionary was produced in response to the rapidly increasing amount of quasi-industrial jargon in the field of information technology, compounded by the fact that these somewhat esoteric terms are often further reduced to acronyms and abbreviations that are seldom explained. Even when they are defined, individual interpretations continue to diverge.

Until now the codes have been reproduced in separate (language) publications: there is no universal listing in alphabetical order that covers the English, French, Spanish and German languages. This dictionary sets out the English, French, Spanish and German alternatives as a single, merge-sorted whole.

Today, most of the codes have passed into the public domain, simply because they exist in most of the telecommunications systems installed throughout the developed (and developing) world and are largely known to most of those who work in that particular area. However, foreign variants often defy even the most astute observer. This dictionary seeks to clarify this bewildering situation as much as possible. The 26,000 definitions set out here, drawn from some 16,000 individual cybernyms, cover computing, electronics, telecommunications (including intelligent networks and mobile telephony), together with satellite technology and Internet/Web terminology.

Annex I lists some of the innumerable file types found in the filing systems of computers using powerful desktop managers and Annex II lists the abbreviations of country names found in universal resource locators (URL).

"Elsevier's Dictionary of Cybernyms" is a useful tool for translators, students, universities and computer enthusiasts.

" AT ANYTIME " your life can be changed forever, at any moment of the day. Time is something that cannot be measure with a clock by hours, minutes and seconds. Time can only be measured by the actions we make during our lives. There 1440 minutes in a day, therefore we have 1440 chances a day to either improve or ruin our lives. Whatever choice we make will have an effect on the people around us. " AT ANYTIME " was inspired by the lyrics of Philadelphia Emcee City Council. This book follows the life of Kahmak Charston through his journey to manhood. Along the way he finds out about himself and the people he considered family and friends. One night of casual sex turns into a world of murder, betrayal, police manhunts and prison. Kahmak becomes stuck between the world he was forced into and the life he worked to create. CAC Carlito demonstrates his ability to use words to capture the imagery of the world. This creation reads like a action movie/ love story filled with the details that define the human experience. "AT ANYTIME " will awaken something in your mind, body and soul. * BONUS * "AT ANYTIME" contains chapters from CAC Carlito's upcoming book tittled " GREEN and TAN, The front line stories "
