   dative bond
         n 1: a covalent bond in which both electrons are provided by one
               of the atoms [syn: {coordinate bond}, {dative bond}]

English Dictionary: dative bond by the DICT Development Group
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   DEADBEEF /ded-beef/ n.   The hexadecimal word-fill pattern for
   freshly allocated memory (decimal -21524111) under a number of IBM
   environments, including the RS/6000.   Some modern debugging tools
   deliberately fill freed memory with this value as a way of
   converting {heisenbug}s into {Bohr bug}s.   As in "Your program is
   DEADBEEF" (meaning gone, aborted, flushed from memory); if you start
   from an odd half-word boundary, of course, you have BEEFDEAD.   See
   also the anecdote under {fool}.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   DEADBEEF
  
      /ded-beef/ The {hexadecimal} pattern
      used to fill words of freshly allocated memory under a number
      of {IBM} environments including the {RS/6000}; equal to
      decimal 3,735,928,559 (unsigned) or -559,038,737 (32-bit
      signed).   As in "Your program is DEADBEEF" (meaning gone,
      aborted, flushed from memory).
