1. A program which provides some service to other (client) programs. The connection between client and server is normally by means of message passing, often over a network, and uses some protocol to encode the client's requests and the server's responses. The server may run continuously (as a daemon), waiting for requests to arrive or it may be invoked by some higher level daemon which controls a number of specific servers (inetd on Unix). There are many servers associated with the Internet, such as those for Network File System, Network Information Service (NIS), Domain Name System (DNS), FTP, news, finger, Network Time Protocol. On Unix, a long list can be found in /etc/services or in the NIS database "services". See client-server.

2. A computer which provides some service for other computers connected to it via a network. The most common example is a file server which has a local disk and services requests from remote clients to read and write files on that disk, often using Sun's Network File System (NFS) protocol or Novell Netware on IBM PCs.
All information accessible via the Internet is stored on one of several different types of a server.

A smart and beautiful girl that loves to laugh. She's energetic and very fun to be around. At first she's shy or maybe appear to be rude and have RBF but when you get to know her, she's nothing like you would think. Sere may not be the most popular but people adore her. Some guys are even intimidated by her beauty. She can be very insecure (even though she has no reason to be) and will rely on people to help her gain confidence. She is a loyal and helpful friend. She will always be there for you to help you feel better and solve your problems. Sere is very trustworthy if you have a strong relationship with her.
There goes Sere, look at her smile
