Word Description
Lynx A freely distributed text-based World Wide Web browser originally developed at the University of Kansas. Lynx cannot display images, but is widely used in non-graphical systems in universities, libraries, and freenets, and by others who want to bring the World Wide Web to as wide an audience as possible. HTML pages with graphics will often provide alternative information for text-based browsers. The most recent, and probably final, release of Lynx distributed by the University of Kansas is 2.4.2. Lynx 2.7 is maintained by Foteos Macrides at the Worcester Foundation for Biological Research. Lynx runs on UNIX and VMS systems, and can run on DOS, Windows, and Macintosh with VT100 terminal emulation. The name is a pun on "links".
lurker A visitor to an online discussion who reads other people's postings but does not contribute. Lurking is a good way for a beginner to get familiar with a newsgroup or forum.
luminance Brightness; the amount of light, in lumens, that is emitted by a pixel or an area of the computer screen.
lumen A unit of measurement of the rate at which light is emitted from a source. The International System unit of luminous flux, equal to the light emitted in a unit solid angle by a uniform point source of one candela.
low resolution A low number of dots or lines per inch. Low-resolution images use less memory but result in a lower print or display quality.
low-radiation monitor A computer monitor that is designed to minimize the radiation it emits. VLF (very low frequency) and ELF (extremely low frequency) radiation from computer screens are a health concern, but their effects are not known.

Lukasiewicz, Jan A Polish logician (1878-1956), the inventor of Polish notation.
Lukasiewicz notation The same as Polish notation, which is a way of expressing a sequence of calculations without using parentheses to show which operation must be performed first. For example, the expression 2(4+5), which instructs the reader to add 4 + 5 and multiply by 2, would be written * 2 + 4 5 in Polish notation. To make the calculation, read from right to left until you find an operation, then perform the operation on the numbers immediately to the right of it, and continue to the next operation. So * 2 + 4 5 becomes * 2 9 and then 18. Reverse Polish notation is worked from left to right. Polish notation was invented by Jan Lukasiewicz, a Polish logician.

Explanation

light amplification through stimulated emissions of radiation A device that uses the oscillation of atoms or molecules between energy levels to generate a narrow, finely focused beam of light. The light has a single wavelength or narrow spectrum of wavelengths and is matched in phase and frequency. Lasers are used in fiber-optics, laser printers, CD-ROM players, and scanners.
