If the Tiff file has a corresponding World file, you can use the buttons in the center of the dialog box to copy the World file information to the Geo Tiff area of the screen, and then use the Update Referencing in Tiff File button to georeference the Tiff file.
In the case where a Tiff file is properly georeferenced, it is often desirable to have a corresponding world file.
The author's do not recommend the ordinary use of World files, because they increase the total number of files, and can be come separated from the associated TIF file.

With this method nothing is gained, since the compiling commands must be stored in a file, and that takes even more space than writing the code in a source file as presented in listing 1.
Packing files in a UNIX environment In a UNIX environment it is possible to write almost any program by including the code in file names.
The drawback is that the files must be unpacked before they can be used, so a large amount of temporary disk space is needed, while C-source is totally usable in the compressed form.

The world file contains a description of the world to be simulated by Gazebo.
The world file can also be used to control some aspects of the simulation engine, such as the force of gravity or simulation time step.
Gazebo world files are written in XML, and can thus be created and modified using a text editor.

 Gaming World // Tutorials - File Input/Output   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Save files are the more common type, and if you aren’t very advanced in Sphere you may not want to read the section on raw files, as you probably won’t need it (yet).
The fifth opens rawfile.txt (the ‘true’ means that the file is going to be opened and written to, or if the file does not exist, be created and written to; if this was ‘false’, then the file would be opened to be read from, or return an error if the file did not exist).
So when you open a file you are at position 0 in this file (the start of it), and if you write three letters (say ‘Hey’)to the file, your position will become place 3 (and position 0 now has the value of the letter ‘H’, 1 has the value of ‘e’ ect.).

 ITworld.com - OECD: U.S. leads world in file swapping
Indeed the definition of P-to-P file sharing is rapidly changing according to the OECD study, as file sharers are now commonly trading full movies and software programs, whereas pioneering P-to-P programs such as Napster only allowed for the trade of MP3 audio files.
While audio files made up 63 percent of P-to-P shared files in 2002, that number was down to 49 percent in 2003, largely as a result of the higher bandwith available to download larger movie and software files faster, the study said.
Among those who are still sharing files on major P-to-P communities according to the OECD study, Canadians are increasing in number at the most rapid pace, as their share in the global P-to-P user base jumped by 4.5 percent from 2003 to 2004.

The world file (just like the gnome and kde files in /var/cache/edb/) are simply files which can be used to collect different packages so you can update or install more easy.
The only inherent danger of densely populating your world file is that Portage may upgrade libraries (when issuing emerge world or emerge -u world) before applications that depend on those libraries have been re-written to cope with them.
nowadays my world file has about 20 entries, one of them is kde but no single kde part is in there (like kdeedu kdebase kdemedia and whatever) so when a new kde is out today emerge -u world does nothing...

 CIA - The World Factbook -- Ukraine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Following the collapse of czarist Russia in 1917, Ukraine was able to bring about a short-lived period of independence (1917-20), but was reconquered and forced to endure a brutal Soviet rule that engineered two artificial famines (1921-22 and 1932-33) in which over 8 million died.
In World War II, German and Soviet armies were responsible for some 7 to 8 million more deaths.
Although final independence for Ukraine was achieved in 1991 with the dissolution of the USSR, democracy remained elusive as the legacy of state control and endemic corruption stalled efforts at economic reform, privatization, and civil liberties.
