Asking questions

1

sometimes i have computer-related questions which vary widely.

for eg:

1.like why did the mp3 format become so popular?

2.in which computer language did the macromedia write FLASH MX?

I do know that one could ask questions like these in the ‘random’ forum over here. But mostly people interested in FLASH come over here since this site mostly concentrates on FLASH.

If there are specific sites which answer random(questions on any computer related topic) like i mentioned above then please do give me the URLs.

thanks.

ps:was linus torvalds ever a newbie?(pls don’t reply to this query , this was a joke)

mp3 is widely popular because it is a compressed data form. Its much smaller than .wav files and you can great really good quality from .mp3… thus its popularity (small size, good quality)

Flash, and most other programs, was written in C++
