ABEND (W3)

Der Abend ist normalerweise der normale Abschluss des Tages. Es gibt aber auch ein "ABEND", das einen unnormalen Abschluss bezeichnet.
Das engl. "ABEND" ist die Abkürzung für "ABnormal END". Es wird vor allem in der Datenverarbeitung benutzt und bezeichnet z.B. ein beliebtes Verhalten eines PCs. Eingeführt wurde der Begriff allerdings mit einer Fehlermeldung der IBM Grossrechner der "frühen" Jahre.

Mittlerweile hat es im Zusammenhang mit E-Mails eine weitere Bedeutung erhalten: "Abwesend durch erzwungenen Netz-Entzug", zur Information von Kommunikationspartnern, dass man (aus unterschiedlichen Gründen) (zeitweise) nicht erreichbar ist.

(1) Acronym for "abnormal end" of task. It refers to software crashes or lossage. Derives from an error message on the IBM 360.
(2) Acronym for "Absent By Enforced Net Deprivation". Sent in e-mail subject lines warning friends and others of forced loss of Internet access (due to moving, network outages, or illness).

abort (W2)

(E?)(L?) http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/A/abort.html
To stop a program or function before it has finished naturally. The term "abort" refers to both requested and unexpected terminations. For example, many applications let you abort a search or a print job. On the other hand, programs can abort unexpectedly for any of the following reasons: When a program aborts, you are usually returned to the operating system shell level. Contrast abort with crash, which makes the entire system, including the operating system, unusable.

Der Begriff für einen unerwarteten Programmabbruch steht auch für den Abbruch einer Schwangerschaft. In beiden Fällen steht das lat. "abortus" = "Abgang" von lat. "ab-oiri" = "abgehen", "verschwinden" Pate. Aber auch der eher umgangssprachliche Ausdruck "Abort" für "Toilette" verdankt seine Bezeichnung, der Tatsache, dass es sich um einen eher "abgelegenen Ort" handelt. Dass an diesem Ort auch etwas "abgeht" und "verschwindet" kann als mnemotische Unterstützung dienen.

Neben dem "Abort" gibt es in der Informationstechnik auch den "Abend". Dies ist die Abkürzung für "abnormal end". Aber auch darin steckt das "ab" in der Bedeutung "weg". Auf dieses "ab" geht auch die "Ebbe" zurück.

(Sanskrit, "Avatara", "Herabstieg"), Als "Avatare" werden im Hinduismus die verschiedenen menschlichen und tierischen Verkörperungen des Gottes Wischnu bezeichnet. In jeder Weltperiode inkarniert Wischnu, um die Guten zu retten und die Bösen zu bestrafen und so die göttliche Ordnung wiederherzustellen.
Heute bezeichnet man als "Avatare" auch virtuelle Personen, die nicht nur als Figur, sondern auch aus Persönlichkeit bestehen. Bekanntes Beispiel eines Avatars ist Lara Croft aus dem Computerspiel Tomb Raider.

Bit

In der Datenverarbeitung gibt es mittlerweile eine unübersehbare Zahl von Programmen: "Microcode, Betriebsysteme, Systemprogramme, Anwendungsprogramme, Compiler (die eine benutzerfreundliche Computersprache in eine maschinenfreundliche Computersprache übersetzen), Anwendungsprogramme, Datenbanksysteme, ... Aber alle diese Programme und auch alle Daten werden im Hintergrund nur mit Hilfe zweier Zeichen abgespeichert: 0 und 1 - ja und nein - an und aus, wie immer man sie bezeichnen möchte. Ob Programme oder Daten - alles wird in Bits abgelegt. Der Verarbeitende Teil des Computers frisst auf der einen Seite eine "endlose" Kette von Nullen und Einsen und spukt auf der anderen Seite eine ebenso endlos erscheinende Kette von Nullen und Einsen wieder aus. Alles, was Sie hier sehen und die Verwaltung und die Verfahren zur menschenfreundlichen Darstellung auf dem Bildschirm - alles nur Bits und Bytes.
"BIT" ist dabei die Abkürzung von "Binary digiT" = "binäres Zeichen" von lat. "???" = lat. "???" und lat. "digit ???" = "Finger ???".

Bug, Debugging (W1)

Why was there a bug in the computer? - It was looking for a byte to eat.

Der "bug" ist ein englischer "Käfer" bzw. eine "Wanze". Zu Zeiten, als die Rechen-Kapazität eines PC noch einen ganzen Saal benötigte, waren diese eine beliebte Zufluchtsstätte für verschiedene Kleintiere. Diese krabbelten ohne Rücksicht über Kabel, Röhren und Platinen. Manche wurden dabei auch mal gebraten und verursachten dabei kleinere Kurzschlüsse. Diese machten sich in fehlerhaften Berechnungen oder Schlimmerem bemerkbar. Und so waren die "bugs" weithin gefürchtet. Und auch heute noch - wo es kaum noch einen Platz für "Käfer" im Rechner gibt - schiebt man ihm jede Fehlfunktion oder unsaubere Programmierung unter den Chitinpanzer.

Das Entfernen von Fehlern nennt man übrigens entsprechend "Debugging".

Als Bezeichnung für einen technischen Fehler soll Grace Murray Hopper den "bug" eingeführt haben. Hopper erfand 1945 den ersten Großcomputer bei der US Navy. Als sie nach einem Maschinenausfall eine Motte darin fand, notierte sie in ihrem Laborbericht "a bug in the computer".

David Wilton weist auf seiner Site "wordorigins" darauf hin, dass der Term "Bug" bereits aus Thomas Edison's Labor entwichen sein könnte. Jedenfalls gibt es Hinweise auf seine Existenz bereits im Jahre 1878, also lange vor dem Computerzeitalter.

Indeed, the use of bug to mean an industrial defect was already established in Thomas Edison's time, and a more specific and rather modern use can be found in an electrical handbook from 1896 (Hawkin's New Catechism of Electricity, Theo. Audel & Co.) which says: “The term ‘bug’ is used to a limited extent to designate any fault or trouble in the connections or working of electric apparatus.” It further notes that the term is “said to have originated in quadruplex telegraphy and have been transferred to all electric apparatus.”

The text of the log entry (from September 9, 1947), reads "1545 Relay #70 Panel F (moth) in relay. First actual case of bug being found". This wording establishes that the term was already in use at the time in its current specific sense - and Hopper herself reports that the term "bug" was regularly applied to problems in radar electronics during WWII.

Die Bezeichnung "bug" für "Insekt" ist seit 1622 bekannt. Der Werdegang ist nicht bekannt könnte aber auf mengl. "bugge" = "something frightening", "scarecrow" zurückgehen, das noch in engl. "bugbear" (1580) = "Buhmann", "Schreckgespenst" und "bugaboo" = "Schreckgespenst" zu finden ist. Möglich ist ein Zusammenhang mit schott. "bogill" = "goblin", "bugbear". Auch ein untergegangenes walisisches Wort "bwg" = "ghost", "goblin" (walis. "bwgwl" = "threat", davor "fear") und "bogey" = "Kobold", germ. "bögge", "böggelmann" = "goblin" stehen wohl damit in Zusammenhang.

Als Maschinendefekt ist "bug" seit 1889 bekannt, evtl existent seit 1878.

Als Bezeichnung für eine Abhöreinrichtung tritt es seit 1919 auf.

Als Verb mit der Bedeutung "ärgern", "reizen" tritt es seit 1949 auf.

Als Bezeichnung für "eine Person mit einer fixen Idee" ist es seit 1841 zu finden.

Am 25.03.2005 schrieb René Bastian:
Bonjour, ich suche die Etymologie des Wortes "cluster" und bin auf Ihre Webseite gekommen, wo das Wort mit einem "?" gekennzeichnet ist. Das Wort ist in der Musik bekannt ("Tontraube", "grappe de sons"). In meinen lateinischen und griechischen Lexika: kein Resultat, (denn "klyster" hat wahrscheinlich nichts mit "cluster" zu tun)

Der Sprach-Brockhaus (1966) kennt: "die Kluster", Mundart, niederdeutsch : "Gruppe", "Traube".
Matthias Lexers "Mittehochdeutsches Taschenwterbuch" bringt leider nichts.
http://infos.aus-germanien.de/Cluster - in Unkenntnis der deutschen Sprache kommt das wort aus dem Englischen!
Googeln mit "kluster mundart" bringt schon einiges, aber alles daneben, denn Kluster ist nicht Kloster auf kölsch.

Mit dem, auch im Deutschen anzutreffenden, engl. "Cluster" werden in der Informationstechnik zum Beispiel "Gruppen von Terminals oder Rechnern" bezeichnet. Ganz allgemein können Gerätegruppen oder auch Gruppen von Datensätzen als "Cluster" bezeichnet werden.
In der Botanik oder Astronomie bezeichnet man mit "cluster" "Büschel", "(Sternen-)Haufen", "Menge", "Gruppe", "(Trauben- oder Bananen-)Bündel", (Atom-)Cluster usw.

Eine wirklich verbindliche Aussage zur Herkunft des engl. "cluster" habe ich nicht finden können. Es gibt jedoch vage Hinweise, dass es sich vielleicht um ein (lautmalerisches (?)) Wort handelt, das zur Familie der "Klösse" gehört.
Demnach könnte es zusammenhängen mit engl. "clod", "clot" = "(Erd-)Klumpen", engl. "cleat" = "Keil", "Scholle", niederl. "kloot" = "Ball", dt. "Kloß", ahd. "klo" = "Klumpen", "Knäuel", "Kugel", dt. "Klotz", mhd. "kloz" = "Klumpen", "Kugel" "Baumstumpf", griech. "glautós" = "Hinterbacken", russ. "gluda" = "Klumpen", "Kloß".

Falls dies zutrifft, geht es zurück auf ein germ. "*kludda", und weiter auf idg. "*g(e)leu", "*gel-" = "rund machen" = "to make round" (also: "zu einem "Klumpen" formen").

Dezember 1968 demonstrierte der Computerpionier Douglas C. Engelbart erstmals seine Erfindung auf einer Konferenz in San Francisco. Außerhalb des anwesenden Fachpublikums stieß sie jedoch vorerst auf nur wenig Begeisterung. Und es sollte noch viele Jahre dauern, bis die Maus ihren weltweiten Siegeszug antreten konnte.

This root is found in many words borrowed from Latin, including "current", "corridor", "courier", "course", "corral" and Afrikaans "kraal" = "corral", "rural village". English "car" comes from Latin "carrus" = "wagon" of the same root, which also underlies "career", "charge", and "chariot", not to mention "carpenter" from lat. "carpentum" "a two-wheeled carriage".

(E?)(L?) http://www.tecchannel.de/server/hardware/466465/index8.html

Als IBM 1980 mit dem IBM-PC ziemlich verspätet in das Homecomputer-Geschäft einstieg, brauchten die Verantwortlichen möglichst rasch ein Betriebssystem – und wandten sich an Bill Gates' Firma. Mit einem eigenen System konnte Gates damals zwar nicht dienen, er wollte sich das Geschäft aber auch nicht entgehen lassen.

Kurz entschlossen schloss Microsoft einen Vertrag über 186.000 Dollar mit IBM ab und kaufte zwei Tage später für 50.000 Dollar von der Firma Seattle Computer die CP/M-Variante "QDOS" – ein Akronym für "quick and dirty operating system". In leicht modifizierter Form wurde das System dann unter der Bezeichnung MS-DOS an IBM ausgeliefert.

Easter Egg (W3)

Als engl. "Easter Egg" werden verborgene Funktionen in Programmen genannt, mit denen sich die Entwickler ein „Denkmal“ gesetzt haben. Alte Bekannte sind der "Flugsimulator" in Microsoft Excel oder "Space Invadors" in Word. Aber auch in zahlreichen aktuellen Programmversionen lassen sich "Easter Eggs" finden. Oft sind sie im Umfeld der Versions- und Copyright-Angaben verborgen, und meist muss man Insider-Kenntnisse haben, um sie zu finden – wie die „about:robots“-Seite in Firefox.

A secret message or screen buried in an application. Typically, easter eggs are used to display the credits for the development team or to display a humorous message. To see an easter egg, you need to know a special procedure or sequence of keystrokes.

Die Bezeichnung ist natürlich auf das Suchen der Ostereier zurück zu führen.

GIGO (W3)

"GIGO" ist die Abkürzung für "Garabge in, garbage out".

"Garabge in, garbage out", often abbreviated as "GIGO", this is a famous computer axiom meaning that if invalid data is entered into a system, the resulting output will also be invalid. Although originally applied to computer software, the axiom holds true for all systems, including, for example, decision-making systems.

Hacker, Cracker (W3)

(E?)(L?) http://koeln.ccc.de/artikel/buecher/levy-hackers.html
Eine Buchbesprechung von Steven Levys Buch Hackers und gleichzeitig eine kleine Etymologie des Wortes "Hacker".
Das Hackertum nahm seinen Ausgang am MIT. Dort gab es den "Tech Model Railroad Club (TMRC)". Dieser Club betrieb eine gigantische Eisenbahnanlage. Innerhalb des Clubs gab es eine "S&P (Signaling and Power)" Abteilung, denen der ganze Eisenbahnkram wohl eher unwichtig war und die sich stattdessen mit dem Bau unglaublich komplexer Steuersystame für die riesige Eisenbahnanlage befaßten. Hier entstand der Begriff "Hack" für einen technischen Kniff und eine ganze Reihe anderer Begriffe, die die Basis des Hackerslangs wurden. ...

(E?)(L?) http://www.u32.de/hacker.html

Aus patentrechtlichen Gründen musste 1995 ein neuer Name gesucht werden. In einer Abstimmung stehen zur Auswahl "JAVA" nach dem Haustrunk "Peet's Java-Kaffee", "Silk" und "DNA". "Java" steht in den USA umgangssprachlich auch generell für Kaffee. (Ähnlich wie Uhu oder Patex auch generell für Klebstoff benutzt wird.)

Mainframe (W3)

(E?)(L1) http://www.vikingwaters.com/htmlpages/mainframe.htm
(E?)(L1) http://www-1.ibm.com/ibm/history/reference/glossary_m.html
Mainframe Definition
Mainframe is an industry term for a large computer, typically manufactured by a large company such as IBM or Cray for the commercial applications of Fortune 1000 businesses and other large-scale computing purposes such as global weather forecasting and scientific research.
Historically, a mainframe is associated with centralized rather than distributed computing. Today, IBM refers to its larger processors as "large servers" and emphasizes that they can be used to serve distributed users and smaller servers (often mid-frames or microprocessor machines) in a computing network.
Modern desktop machines have far more power than early mainframes. However, the mainframe manufacturers have kept pace to produce machines that do jobs their smaller brethren could never accomplish. Mainframes still house 90% of the data major businesses rely on for mission-critical applications. This is because mainframes have superior performance, reliability, scalability, and security compared to microprocessors.

mainframe: n. A computer, usually in a computer center, with extensive capabilities and resources to which other computers may be connected so that they can share facilities. Originally referred to the central processing unit of a large computer, which occupied the largest or central frame (rack).

(E?)(L?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_Law
(E?)(L?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Moore
"Moore's Law" trägt den Namen von "Gordon Moore", einem der Gründer von INTEL. Am 19.April 1965 prognostizierte er in einem Artikel, daß sich die Vielzahl der Transistoren auf einem Chip etwa alle zwei Jahre verdoppelt.
Bisher liegt er mit seiner Vorhersage ganz gut: waren es 1976 2.300 Transistoren auf 12mm**2 so waren es 2005 592Mio. auf 432mm**2.

Moores Gesetz besagt dass sich die Packdichte der Transistoren auf einem Mikroprozessor - und damit die Leistung gemessen in MIPS - alle 18 Monate verdoppelt.
Gordon "Moore" war ein Mitbegründer von Intel, der diese These aufstellte.

Moore is widely known for "Moore's Law," in which he predicted that the number of transistors the industry would be able to place on a computer chip would double every couple of years. In 1995, he updated his prediction to once every two years. While originally intended as a rule of thumb in 1965, it has become the guiding principle for the industry to deliver ever-more-powerful semiconductor chips at proportionate decreases in cost.

Moore's Law soll noch 20 Jahre Gültigkeit behalten ... - ... meint zumindest Gordon Moore selbst
Vor 40 Jahren formulierte Intel-Mitbegründer "Gordon Moore" seine als "Moore's Law" bekannt gewordene Theorie, nach der sich die Zahl der Transistoren auf einem Halbleiter alle 18 Monate verdoppeln lässt. Nun bekräftigte Moore diese Aussage im Rahmen einer Telefonkonferenz.

MUD (W3)

(E?)(L?) http://www.apocalypse.org/pub/u/lpb/muddex/mudline.html
Eine kleine Wortgeschichte zu "MUD" findet sich in "Language and the Internet" von David Crystal, Cambridge. Ich versuche die Ausführungen möglichst sinngemäss zusammenzufassen.

"MUD" entstand zunächst als Acronym aus "Multi-User Dingeon" einem der ersten führenden Fantasy-Rollenspiele in den 1970er Jahren, die durchaus heute noch gespielt werden (Dungeons and Dragons (TM)). "MUD" hat dann teilweise seine Rolle als Abkürzung verloren und wurde bzw. wird auch als "Mud" oder "muds" in Wortkombinationen benutzt.
Heute wird "MUD" oft auch mit "Multi-User Dimension" widergegeben, um von dem Image als Monsterspiele weg zu kommen.
Aus der Abkürzung "MUD" entstanden dann Derivate wie "LPMUD" für "MUDs", die mit LPC, einer bestimmten Programmiersprache, geschrieben wurden (auch interessant: entwickelt vom schwedischen Wissenschaftler "Lars Pensjö"). Daneben gab es "DikuMUD" ("Datalogistik Institute Kobenhavns Universitet") oder "TinyMUD" wegen seines geringeren Programmieraufwandes auf Grund anderer Techniken.

Interessant ist, dass sich daraus dann (sprach-)spielerische Ableitungen wie "MUCK" und "MUSH" gebildet haben, die erst im Nachhinein mit z.B. "Multi-User Shared Hallucination" interpretiert wurden.

David Crystal führt noch einige weiter Ableitungen auf die mittlerweile mit "MU*" zusammengefasst werden. (Der "*" steht hier für beliebige Buchstabenerweiterungen.) Ein Beispiel ist auch die Acronym-Hierarchie "MOO" = "MUD Object Orientated", woraus sich wieder viele Ableitungen gebildet haben.

Netiquette, Netikette, Etikette

(E?)(L?) http://www.faqs.org/
(E?)(L?) http://www.ping.at/guides/netmayer/
Ein typischer Begriff der Cyberlanguage ist "Netiquette" als wortspielerische Bildung aus "Net" und "Etiquette", "the do's and don'ts of online communication".

"Netikette" setzt sich zusammen aus "Net" = "Netz", "Internet" und "Etikette".

Die "Etikette", die "festgelegten Umgangsformen" haben die gleiche Quelle wie "das Etikett" zur "Preisauszeichnung". Die Umgangsformen am französischen Hof waren auf Handzetteln schriftlich festgelegt. Und so übertrug sich die Bezeichnung für "die an einem Pfahl festgesteckte Markierung" auf die dort festgelegten Anstandsregeln.

Hiermit steht auch das frz. "estiquer" = "feststecken" und eben auch das dt. "stecken" in Zusammenhang. Auch engl. "sticker", das nicht nur "Aufklebezettel" sondern auch "Schlachter", "Dorn" und "Stachel" bedeuten kann, gehört zu dieser Wortgruppe.

Die "Netiquette Guidelines" werden in einem RFC beschrieben:

quantifiers (W3)

(E3)(L1) http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/
In techspeak and jargon, the standard metric prefixes used in the SI (Système International) conventions for scientific measurement have dual uses. With units of time or things that come in powers of 10, such as money, they retain their usual meanings of multiplication by powers of 1000 = 10^3. But when used with bytes or other things that naturally come in powers of 2, they usually denote multiplication by powers of 1024 = 2^(10).
Here are the SI magnifying prefixes, along with the corresponding binary interpretations in common use:
prefix  decimal  binary
kilo-   1000^1   1024^1 = 2^10 = 1,024
mega-   1000^2   1024^2 = 2^20 = 1,048,576
giga-   1000^3   1024^3 = 2^30 = 1,073,741,824

Here are the SI fractional prefixes: 
prefix  decimal     jargon usage
milli-  1000^-1     (seldom used in jargon)
micro-  1000^-2     small or human-scale (see micro-)
nano-   1000^-3     even smaller (see nano-)
pico-   1000^-4     even smaller yet (see pico-)
femto-  1000^-5     (not used in jargon---yet)
atto-   1000^-6     (not used in jargon---yet)
zepto-  1000^-7     (not used in jargon---yet)
yocto-  1000^-8     (not used in jargon---yet)
The prefixes zetta-, yotta-, zepto-, and yocto- have been included in these tables purely for completeness and giggle value; they were adopted in 1990 by the "19th Conference Generale des Poids et Mesures". The binary peta- and exa- loadings, though well established, are not in jargon use either -- yet. The prefix milli-, denoting multiplication by 1/1000, has always been rare in jargon (there is, however, a standard joke about the "millihelen" -- notionally, the amount of beauty required to launch one ship). See the entries on micro-, pico-, and nano- for more information on connotative jargon use of these terms. "Femto" and "atto" (which, interestingly, derive not from Greek but from Danish) have not yet acquired jargon loadings, though it is easy to predict what those will be once computing technology enters the required realms of magnitude (however, see attoparsec).
There are, of course, some standard unit prefixes for powers of 10. In the following table, the "prefix" column is the international standard suffix for the appropriate power of ten; the "binary" column lists jargon abbreviations and words for the corresponding power of 2. The B-suffixed forms are commonly used for byte quantities; the words "meg" and "gig" are nouns that may (but do not always) pluralize with "s".
prefix   decimal   binary       pronunciation
kilo-       k      K, KB,       /kay/
mega-       M      M, MB, meg   /meg/
giga-       G      G, GB, gig   /gig/,/jig/
Confusingly, hackers often use K or M as though they were suffix or numeric multipliers rather than a prefix; thus "2K dollars", "2M of disk space". This is also true (though less commonly) of G.
Note that the formal SI metric prefix for 1000 is "k"; some use this strictly, reserving "K" for multiplication by 1024 (KB is thus "kilobytes").
K, M, and G used alone refer to quantities of bytes; thus, 64G is 64 gigabytes and "a K" is a kilobyte (compare mainstream use of "a G" as short for "a grand", that is, $1000). Whether one pronounces "gig" with hard or soft "g" depends on what one thinks the proper pronunciation of "giga-" is.
Confusing 1000 and 1024 (or other powers of 2 and 10 close in magnitude) -- for example, describing a memory in units of 500K or 524K instead of 512K -- is a sure sign of the marketroid. One example of this: it is common to refer to the capacity of 3.5" microfloppies as "1.44 MB" In fact, this is a completely bogus number. The correct size is 1440 KB, that is, 1440 * 1024 = 1474560 bytes. So the "mega" in "1.44 MB" is compounded of two "kilos", one of which is 1024 and the other of which is 1000. The correct number of megabytes would of course be 1440 / 1024 = 1.40625. Alas, this fine point is probably lost on the world forever.
[1993 update: hacker Morgan Burke has proposed, to general approval on Usenet, the following additional prefixes:
We observe that this would leave the prefixes zeppo-, gummo-, and chico- available for future expansion. Sadly, there is little immediate prospect that Mr. Burke's eminently sensible proposal will be ratified.]
[1999 upate: there is an IEC proposal for binary multipliers, but no evidence that any of its proposals are in live use.]

S/360

(E?)(L?) http://www.ti-leipzig.de/os390/paul/docs/paul1n.pdf
Am 7. April 1964 kündigte IBM die S/360-Rechnerfamilie an. Die Ziffer "360" bezieht sich dabei auf alle Punkte eines Kompasses, um die universelle Anwendbarkeit, den weitgefächerten Bereich von Performance und Preis des Produkts sowie die Entwicklungsrichtungen des Unternehmens IBM zu demonstrieren. Die Existenz der S/360-Architektur ist den drei genialen Wissenschaftlern Gene Amdahl, Gerry Blaauw, Fred Brooks und der damaligen IBM-Entwicklungs-Abteilung unter der Leitung von B.O. Evans zu verdanken.

Da die Technologie aber weiterentwickelt wurde und der Kreisumfang schon vollendet war, musste man ihn virtuell erweitern und nannte die nächsten Generationen S/370, S/380 und S/390. Erst dann ging man zu einer neuen Bezeichnung z/OS über.

keyboard shortcut
A "keyboard shortcut" is a combination of keys that, when pressed simultaneously, perform some task that ordinarily requires use of a mouse or other input device and may take longer to do. In Windows XP, for example, pressing "Control-Alt-Delete" will bring up the task manager utility for application and system monitoring and control. Other popular keyboard shortcuts include "Control-C" (copy), "Control-P" (print), "Control-V" (paste), "Control-X" (cut), and "Control-Z" (undo).

shortcut
In general, a "shortcut" is a path that is shorter than the usual or formal path to something or a method of operation that saves time over the regular operation. In Windows 95 and later operating systems, a "shortcut" is a computer desktop icon that enables a user to easily see and select a particular program or data object. The operating system comes with some shortcuts already visible on the desktop. A user can remove these or add new ones.

To create a shortcut in Windows 95 or 98, click on My Computer, then click on your "C" drive (or other drive where your files may be). Find the folder or file that you want to put on your desktop, click on it with the right mouse button, and select Create Shortcut from the pop-up menu. A new icon will now appear in My Computer. Hold the left mouse button down and drag the new icon to your desktop (you may need to minimize the My Computer window to do this). Now your new file or program will always be visible for quick selection on your desktop without having to go through Start menus or the Windows file manager.

In the Macintosh operating system, a shortcut is called an "alias".

(E3)(L1) http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/s/spoolfile.html
In der Datenverarbeitung wird oftmals von einem "Spool" gesprochen. Dies ist ein Zwischenspeicher z.B. in Magnetplattenspeichern. Lange Zeit dachte ich es handelt sich dabei um eine Wort "spool" = dt. "Spule". Da ja in früheren Zeiten Speicher in Form von Magnetspulen realisiert wurden. Dann entdeckte ich jedoch irgendwann, dass es eine Abkürzung ist und für "Serial Peripheral Operations OnLine" = "serielle Online-Ein-/Ausgabe-Operationen" steht.
Allerdings ist nicht auszuschliessen, dass dieses Kunstwort bewusst in Anspielung auf diese Historie gebildet wurde.

Aus dieser zum Wort gewordenen Abkürzung sind dann natürlich weitere Ableitungen gebildet worden. Das Verb engl. "spool" = dt. "spoolen" und engl. "spooling" und "Spooler".

In der Anglizismenliste des VDS wird "spool" mit "Warteschlange" übersetzt.

Als "Spooling" bezeichnet man die Technik, die Daten zwischenspeichert. Beispiel: In einem UUCP-Netz geschieht die Übertragung der Aufträge bzw. Files meistens asynchron, d. h. die Files müssen zwischengespeichert werden. (siehe auch Drucker-Spooling)

SQL - structured query language

(E?)(L?) http://www.webopedia.com/
SQL is a standardized query language for requesting information from a database. The original version called SEQUEL (structured English query language) was designed by an IBM research center in 1974 and 1975. SQL was first introduced as a commercial database system in 1979 by Oracle Corporation.
Historically, SQL has been the favorite query language for database management systems running on minicomputers and mainframes. Increasingly, however, SQL is being supported by PC database systems because it supports distributed databases (databases that are spread out over several computer systems). This enables several users on a local-area network to access the same database simultaneously.
Although there are different dialects of SQL, it is nevertheless the closest thing to a standard query language that currently exists. In 1986, ANSI approved a rudimentary version of SQL as the official standard, but most versions of SQL since then have included many extensions to the ANSI standard. In 1991, ANSI updated the standard. The new standard is known as SAG SQL.

stuhenderson - MVS-Themen

(E?)(L?) http://www.stuhenderson.com/XMVSTRND.HTM
Since the 1960's, IBM's "MVS" operating system, or some version of it, has been the predominant system software for IBM's family of mainframe computers. MVS has been the environment for which the best-known and most widely used security products have been developed, and it has influenced our thinking about security for all computer systems. But MVS security is not a static concept; it is a moving target on which security product vendors and infosecurity professionals must keep focused. Data security officers need to understand the history of MVS security, and they should be aware of the recent developments.

System360

(E?)(L?) http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/personal/histoire/histoire.html
Im Oktober 1961 ruft IBM die SPREAD (Systems Programming, Research, Engineering And Development) ins Leben. Dies, weil IBM zu dieser Zeit in einem Dilemma war: IBM unterhielt mehrere Computersysteme, die zueinander inkompatibel waren. Ein Programm, das für ein System geschrieben wurde, lief nicht auf einem anderen System. SPREAD sollte dieses Problem lösen. Diese Task Force erarbeitete den SPREAD Report, der für die Entstehung von System/360 einen Grundstein legte.

"Every File Format in the World"
This is a list of file name extension or suffixes that indicate the format or usage of a file and a brief description of that format. We don't really show the file format itself here. In fact, many formats are proprietary and we couldn't show them to you. In some cases, we link to a definition of the file format or to related information.
In general, if you have the program that uses the file format, that program can be used to open or otherwise use the file. Some file formats (for example, the GIF file format used for Web page images) are standard formats that can be opened by any program that supports that standard format.

teraflop (W3)

"teraflop" setzt sich zusammen aus "tera" und einer Abkürzung von "FLoating point OPerations" ("point" wurde vernachlässigt). Und zu "tera" findet man bei "alphadictionary" folgenden Hinweis:

(E?)(L?) http://www.alphadictionary.com/goodword/word/teraflop
...
The prefix "tera-" is even more unusual; it comes from Greek "teras" = "monster", and does not even suggest its meaning here, "trillion". The Greek word came from an old PIE verb meaning "do", "make", the same root that gave Sanskrit "karma" = "act", "deed".

How Ubiquitous Networking Will Work

Inside this Article Mobile computing devices have changed the way we look at computing. Laptops and personal digital assistants (PDAs) have unchained us from our desktop computers. A group of researchers at AT&T Laboratories Cambridge are preparing to put a new spin on mobile computing. In addition to taking the hardware with you, they are designing a "ubiquitous networking system" that allows your program applications to follow you wherever you go.

(E?)(L?) http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/20050824comp.htm
Zu Erklärung der Bedeutung des Markennamens des neuen INTEL-Chips "VIIV" gibt es mehrere Ansätze.
Zunächst einmal soll es sich zusammensetzen aus engl. "vie" = "konkurrieren", engl. "vibe" = "Ausstrahlung", "Schwingung" und lat. "vive" = "Leben". Damit soll "excitement" = "Aufregung", "vibrancy" = "Schwingen" und "vividness" = "Lebhaftigkeit" zum Ausdruck gebracht werden.

Und Zufall oder Absicht (?): Die Bezeichnung "VIIV" lässt sich auch als Zusammensetzung der lateinischen Zahlen "VI" = "6" und "IV" = "4" interpretieren. Zusammen kommt man dann auf "64". Und der INTEL-Prozessor basiert auf der 64-bit-Architektur.
Zugegeben - die lateinische Zahl für "64" müsste eigentlich "LXIV" heissen, aber wäre das ein geeigneter Markenname?

Intel's new platform for digital entertainment—Intel® Viiv™ technology—will launch in early 2006 with the multitasking power of a dual-core processor-based PC and sleek new designs that fit your lifestyle.

The Intel Viiv technology brand name communicates the excitement, vibrancy and vividness of the latest technologies that enable people to have a great entertainment experience in the home.

Vista, Windows Vista (W3)

Das neue Microsoft Betriebssystem "Vista", das 2007 das Licht der Welt erblickte, ist die konsequente Fortführung des vorhergehenden "WINDOWS" (= "Fenster", wörtlich "Windauge"), heißt "Vista" doch "Blick", "Sicht", "Perspektive".

"vista" mit seinen verschiedenen Bedeutungen geht zurück auf lat. "videre" = "sehen". Nahe verwandt ist die "Vision".
span. "vista" = "Sehen", "Sehvermögen", "Blick", "Aussicht"
ital. "vista" = "Sehen", "Anblick", "Sicht"
engl. "vista" = "Ausblick", "Aussicht"

Electric Symbols: Internet Words and Culture - by John Fraim
How words used on the Internet reflect our culture.
Abstract
The mous Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis posits a linguistic determinism arguing language plays a central role in creation of a worldview. In the sense that language is a product of words, one can say that a culture's worldview is affected and influenced by the words of its particular language. Words both create and communicate worldviews. The greatest potential in history for the observation and analysis of words exists on the Internet. Indeed, the Internet can be considered history's greatest observatory and laboratory of words.

The Tech Word Spy Web site is a lexicon of technical terms. The bulk of the terms come from various glossaries that I've included in my books. Therefore, the terms tend to focus more on Windows and HTML technology. However, for variety, I've included quite a few technology-related terms from the Word Spy database.
Viele Begriffe enthalten einen Verweis auf Zitate in Zeitschriften und den Entstehungszusammenhang im Umfeld der Multimedia-Kommunikation.

x86-Architektur (W3)

Vor 25 Jahren (1978) stellte die Chipfirma Intel ihren ersten 16-Bit-Prozessor unter dem Namen 8086 vor. Niemand erwartete damals, dass diese relativ einfache Architektur so einen immensen Erfolg haben würde. Doch bis heute bildet die x86-Architektur die Basis für alle Prozessor-Generationen in den verschiedenen PCs, so das Computermagazin c't in der Ausgabe 13/2003.
Die x86er-Prozessor-Architektur steckt noch immer in jedem PC. Dabei war der 8086-Prozessor damals gar nicht revolutionär, sondern nur eine logische Fortentwicklung bestehender 8-Bit-Systeme. Durchgesetzt hat er sich einige Jahre später vor allem, weil IBM den ersten Personal Computer mit einem 8088-Prozessor ausstattete.
Weit über 100 Millionen 8086/88-Prozessoren haben Intel und diverse Lizenznehmer in der Folge bis etwa 1990 verkauft. Dabei sollte der Prozessor nur ein kurzlebiger Lückenfüller sein, weil bereits ein 32-Bit-Prozessor als sein Thronerbe auserkoren war.
