   On a less technical note,

   Mi ma is commonly used when referring to a plain old ordinary password, and mi mi is more like the one uses to authenticate to a website for resetting a password.

   Most people also just say daili and skip the fuwuqi part

   Here’s a few more practical computing words that I didn’t see on the list

   wang lu network
   wang zhan website
   wang you web user
   wang shang (network up, aka online)
   wang zhi URL
   Q kong jian QQ space (ala myspace)
   shang chuan upload
   xia zai to download
   an zhuang to install
   deng lu log in (dialectical)
   deng chu log out (dialectical)
   xin yong ka credit card
   yin hang ka bank card
   yin hang hao bank account
   pian zi someone who deceives or tricks you
   ruan jian software
   dian nao computer
   ji suan ji computer (dialectically different)
   tu pian screenshot
   geng xin to upgrade or patch (software)
   jin zhi to ban, block or prohibit access
   ju bao to report (a crime)
   lian jie a link (on a web page)
   chong xin zhuang to reinstall (windows)
   an quan de safe/secure

   Hey how do you say “avatar” in chinese?

4. # Alexon 29 Apr 2008 at 4:13 pm

   avatar = 具体化 or 具體化

   not sure how to pronounce it

   Ok i found 具体化 ju4ti1hua4= avatar.

   Btw, I found i mistake: “home page” is 主页 zhu3ye4 not the similar-sounding 竹叶 ^-^
