...lucrative as the drug-smuggling business is, the people-smuggling cartels are prospering as well. The more the U.S. cracks down on illegal immigration, the more expensive crossing becomes.

HTML (short for hypertext markup language), frequently tacked on to the end of web addresses, is one: It describes how web pages are supposed to be drawn up on the screen. Mp3 (short for MPEG-1 audio layer 3, where MPEG is short for Motion Picture Experts Group) is another, which explains how audio files can be compressed and decompressed, so that the makers of digital music players know how to program their devices...
