i'm gone half a year and all the regulars seem to have gone! I miss
the sniping and all - sniff, sniff...do not we still need a catch-group

A group G is a non-empty {set} upon which a {binary} operator
	* is defined with the following properties for all a,b,c in G:

	  Closure:     G is closed under *,  a*b in G
	  Associative: * is associative on G, (a*b)*c = a*(b*c)
	  Identity:    There is an identity element  e  such that
		       a*e = e*a = a.
	  Inverse:     Every element has a unique inverse a' such that
		       a * a' = a' * a = e.  The inverse is usually
		       written with a superscript -1.

for all the nonsense?

Anyways, some interesting

In hacker parlance, this word has strong connotations of
	"annoying", or "difficult", or both.  Hackers relish a
	challenge, and enjoy wringing all the irony possible out of
	the ancient Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times".

numbers

(Scientific computation) Output from a computation that may
	not be significant but at least indicates that the program is
	running.  Numbers may be used to placate management, grant
	sponsors, etc.  "Making numbers" means running a program
	because output - any output, not necessarily meaningful output
	- is needed as a demonstration of progress.

	See {pretty pictures}, {math-out}, {social science number}.

1. The art of debugging a blank sheet of paper (or, in these

	2. A pastime similar to banging one's head against a wall, but
	with fewer opportunities for reward.

	3. The most fun you can have with your clothes on (although
	clothes are not mandatory).

Maybe they're confused by all the talk

<chat, tool, networking, messaging> A {Unix} program and
	{protocol} supporting conversation between two or more users
	who may be logged into the same computer or different
	computers on a network.  Variants include {ntalk}, {ytalk},
	and {ports} or {emulators} of these programs for other
	{platforms}.

	{Unix} has the {talk} program and {protocol} and its variants
	{xtalk} and {ytalk} for the {X Window System}; {VMS} has
	{phone}; {Windows for Workgroups} has {chat}.  {ITS} also has
	a talk system.  These split the screen into separate areas for
	each user.

	{Unix}'s {write} command can also be used, though it does not
	attempt to separate input and output on the screen.

	Users of such systems are said to be in {talk mode} which has
	many conventional abbreviations and idioms.  Most of these
	survived into {chat} jargon, but many fell out of common use
	with the migration of {user} prattle from talk-like systems to
	{chat} systems in the early 1990s.  These disused
	talk-specific forms include:

	"BYE?" - are you ready to close the conversation?  This is the
	standard way to end a talk-mode conversation; the other person
	types "BYE" to confirm, or else continues the conversation.

	"JAM"/"MIN" - just a minute

	"O" - "over" (I have stopped talking).  Also "/" as in x/y - x
	over y, or two newlines (the latter being the most common).

	"OO" - "over and out" - end of conversation.

	"\" - Greek {lambda}.

	"R U THERE?" - are you there?

	"SEC" - wait a second.

	"/\/\/" - laughter.  But on a {MUD}, this usually means
	"earthquake fault".

	See also {talk bomb}.

JAVA has become a "boring" mainstream-language

1. <language, programming> {programming language}.

	2. <human language> {natural language}.

	(1998-09-07)

just like C/C++.
The hype and buzz

1. Of a program, to run with no indication of progress and
	perhaps without guarantee of ever finishing; especially said
	of programs thought to be executing a {tight loop} of code.  A
	program that is buzzing appears to be {catatonic}, but never
	gets out of catatonia, while a buzzing loop may eventually end
	of its own accord.  "The program buzzes for about 10 seconds
	trying to sort all the names into order."  See {spin}; see
	also {grovel}.

	2. [ETA Systems] To test a wire or printed circuit trace for
	continuity by applying an AC rather than DC signal.  Some wire
	faults will pass DC tests but fail a buzz test.

	3. To process an {array} or list in sequence, doing the same
	thing to each element.  "This loop buzzes through the tz array
	looking for a terminator type."

	[{Jargon File}]

is over. Same for the good old flamewar-times.

Does anyone remember the... sorry I forgot the names. Oh wait... JTK, right?

BD-JAVA is the programming environment

<programming, operating system> A {variable} that is bound in
	the current environment.  When evaluating an expression in
	some environment, the evaluation of a variable consists of
	looking up its name in the environment and substituting its
	value.

	Most programming languages have some concept of an environment
	but in {Unix} {shell scripts} it has a specific meaning
	slightly different from other contexts.  In shell scripts,
	environment variables are one kind of {shell variable}.  They
	differ from {local variables} and {command line arguments} in
	that they are inheritted by a {child process}.  Examples are
	the PATH variable that tells the shell the {file system}
	{paths} to search to find command {executables} and the TZ
	variable which contains the local time zone.  The variable
	called "SHELL" specifies the type of shell being used.

	These variables are used by commands or {shell scripts} to
	discover things about the environment they are operating in.
	Environment variables can be changed or created by the {user}
	or a program.

	To see a list of environment variables type "setenv" at the
	{csh} or {tcsh} {prompt} or "set" at the {sh}, {bash}, {jsh}
	or {ksh} prompt.

	In other programming languages, e.g. {functional programming}
	languages, the environment is extended with new bindings when
	a {function}'s {parameters} are bound to its {actual
	arguments} or when new variables are declared.  In a
	{block-structured} {procedural} language, the environment
	usually consists of a {linked list} of {activation records}.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But where will all the garbage topics go???? I like the linux heads at
c.o.l.a, and use linux server

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 {HTTP}, {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 {PCs}.  Another common example is a {web
	server}.

s, but those guys can never convince me
Linux

<operating system> ("Linus Unix") /li'nuks/ (but see below)
	An implementation of the {Unix} {kernel} originally written
	from scratch with no proprietary code.

	The kernel runs on {Intel} and {Alpha} hardware in the general
	release, with {SPARC}, {PowerPC}, {MIPS}, {ARM}, {Amiga},
	{Atari}, and {SGI} in active development.  The SPARC, PowerPC,
	ARM, {PowerMAC} - {OSF}, and 68k ports all support {shells},
	{X} and {networking}.  The Intel and SPARC versions have
	reliable {symmetric multiprocessing}.

	Work on the kernel is coordinated by Linus Torvalds, who holds
	the copyright on a large part of it.  The rest of the
	copyright is held by a large number of other contributors (or
	their employers).  Regardless of the copyright ownerships, the
	kernel as a whole is available under the {GNU} {General Public
	License}.  The GNU project supports Linux as its kernel until
	the research {Hurd} kernel is completed.

	This kernel would be no use without {application programs}.
	The GNU project has provided large numbers of quality tools,
	and together with other {public domain} software it is a rich
	Unix environment.  A compilation of the Linux kernel and these
	tools is known as a Linux distribution.  Compatibility modules
	and/or {emulators} exist for dozens of other computing
	environments.

	The kernel version numbers are significant: the odd numbered
	series (e.g. 1.3.xx) is the development (or beta) kernel which
	evolves very quickly.  Stable (or release) kernels have even
	major version numbers (e.g. 1.2.xx).

	There is a lot of commercial support for and use of Linux,
	both by hardware companies such as {Digital}, {IBM}, and
	{Apple} and numerous smaller network and integration
	specialists.  There are many commercially supported
	distributions which are generally entirely under the GPL.  At
	least one distribution vendor guarantees {Posix} compliance.
	Linux is particularly popular for {Internet Service
	Providers}, and there are ports to both parallel
	supercomputers and {embedded} {microcontrollers}.  {Debian} is
	one popular {open source} distribution.

	The pronunciation of "Linux" has been a matter of much debate.
	Many, including Torvalds, insist on the short I pronunciation
	/li'nuks/ because "Linus" has an /ee/ sound in Swedish
	(Linus's family is part of Finland's 6% ethnic-Swedish
	minority) and Linus considers English short /i/ to be closer
	to /ee/ than English long /i:/ dipthong.  This is consistent
	with the short I in words like "linen".  This doesn't stop
	others demanding a long I /li:'nuks/ following the english
	pronunciation of "Linus" and "minus".  Others say /li'niks/
	following {Minix}, which Torvalds was working on before Linux.

Java

<programming, language, portability> (After the Indonesian island, a
	source of {programming fluid}) A simple, {object-oriented},
	{distributed}, {interpreted}, robust, secure,
	{architecture-neutral}, {portable}, {multithreaded}, dynamic,
	buzzword-compliant, general-purpose programming language
	developed by {Sun Microsystems} in the early 1990's (initially for
	set-top television controllers), and released to the public in 1995.

	Java first became popular by being the earliest portable
	dynamic client-side content for the {World-Wide Web} in the
	form of {platform}-independent Java "applets". In the late
	1990's and into the 2000's it has also become very popular
	on the server side, where an entire set of {APIs} defines the {J2EE}.

	Java is both a set of public specifications (controlled by
	{Sun Microsystems} through the {JCP}) and a series of
	implementations of those specifications.

	Java is syntactially similar to {C++} without user-definable
	{operator overloading}, (though it does have {method}
	overloading), without {multiple inheritance}, and extensive
	automatic {coercions}.  It has automatic {garbage collection}.
	Java extends {C++}'s {object-oriented} facilities with those
	of {Objective C} for {dynamic method resolution}.

	Whereas programs in C++ and similar languages are compiled
	and linked to platform-specific binary executables, Java
	programs are typically compiled to portable {architecture-neutral}
	{bytecode} or ".class" files, which are run using a {Java
	Virtual Machine}.  The JVM is also called an {interpreter},
	though it is more correct to say that it uses {Just-In-Time
	Compilation} to convert the {bytecode} into {native} {machine
	code}, yielding greater efficiency than most interpreted
	languages, rivalling C++ for many long-running, non-GUI
	applications.  The run-time system is typically written in
	{POSIX}-compliant {ANSI C} or {C++}.  Some implementations
	allow Java class files to be translated into {native}
	{machine code} during or after compilation.

	The Java compiler and {linker} both enforce {strong type
	checking} - procedures must be explicitly typed.  Java
	supports the creation of {virus}-free, tamper-free systems
	with {authentication} based on {public-key encryption}.

	Java has an extensive library of routines for all kinds of
	programming tasks, rivalling that of other languages.

	For example, the "java.net} package supports {TCP/IP}
	{protocols} like {HTTP} and {FTP}.  Java applications can
	access objects across the {Internet} via {URLs} almost as easily as
	on the local {file system}. There are also capabilities for
	several types of distributed applications.

	The Java {GUI} libraries provide portable interfaces.  For example,
	there is an abstract Window class and implementations of it
	for {Unix}, {Microsoft Windows} and the {Macintosh}.
	The "java.awt" and "javax.swing" classes can be used either in
	Web-based "Applets" or in client-side or "desktop" applications.

	There are also packages for developing {XML} applications,
	{web services}, {servlets} and other web applications,
	{security}, date and time calculations and I/O formatting,
	database ({JDBC}), and many others.

	Java is not directly related to {JavaScript} despite the name.

<language>

	1. A {relational language} designed by Jones and M. Sheeran in
	1986 for describing and designing circuits (a {hardware
	description language}).  Ruby programs denote {binary
	relations} and programs are built-up inductively from
	primitive relations using a pre-defined set of {relational
	operators}.  Ruby programs also have a geometric
	interpretation as networks of primitive relations connected by
	wires, which is important when layout is considered in circuit
	design.

	Ruby has been continually developed since 1986, and has been
	used to design many different kinds of circuits, including
	{systolic arrays}, {butterfly networks} and arithmetic
	circuits.

	3. A fully {object oriented} {interpreted} {scripting
	language} by Yukihiro Matsumoto <matz@netlab.co.jp>.

	Similar in scope to {Perl} and {Python}, Ruby has high-level
	{data types}, automatic {memory management}, {dynamic typing},
	a {module} system, {exceptions}, and a rich standard library.
	Other features are {CLU}-style {iterators} for {loop
	abstraction}, {singleton classes}/{methods} and {lexical
	closures}.

	In Ruby, everything is an {object}, including the basic data
	types.  For example, the number 1 is an instance of {class}

	of power; for example, {C} is compact and {Fortran} is not,
	but C is more powerful than Fortran.  Designs become
	non-compact through accreting {features} and {cruft} that

	{multitasking} {operating system}.

	Compare {English}.

	2. Textual material in the mainstream sense; data in ordinary
	{ASCII} or {EBCDIC} representation (see {flat ASCII}).  "Those
	are text files; you can review them using the editor."

	These two contradictory senses confuse hackers too.
