From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   dangling pointer n.   [common] A reference that doesn't actually
   lead anywhere (in C and some other languages, a pointer that doesn't
   actually point at anything valid).   Usually this happens because it
   formerly pointed to something that has moved or disappeared.   Used
   as jargon in a generalization of its techspeak meaning; for example,
   a local phone number for a person who has since moved to the other
   coast is a dangling pointer.   Compare {dead link}.
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   dongle /dong'gl/ n.   1. A security or {copy protection} device
   for proprietary software consisting of a serialized EPROM and some
   drivers in a D-25 connector shell, which must be connected to an I/O
   port of the computer while the program is run.   Programs that use a
   dongle query the port at startup and at programmed intervals
   thereafter, and terminate if it does not respond with the dongle's
   programmed validation code.   Thus, users can make as many copies of
   the program as they want but must pay for each dongle.   The idea was
   clever, but it was initially a failure, as users disliked tying up a
   serial port this way.   Almost all dongles on the market today (1993)
   will pass data through the port and monitor for {magic} codes (and
   combinations of status lines) with minimal if any interference with
   devices further down the line -- this innovation was necessary to
   allow daisy-chained dongles for multiple pieces of software.   The
   devices are still not widely used, as the industry has moved away
   from copy-protection schemes in general.   2. By extension, any
   physical electronic key or transferable ID required for a program to
   function.   Common variations on this theme have used parallel or
   even joystick ports.   See {dongle-disk}.
  
      [Note: in early 1992, advertising copy from Rainbow Technologies (a
   manufacturer of dongles) included a claim that the word derived
   from "Don Gall", allegedly the inventor of the device.   The
   company's receptionist will cheerfully tell you that the story is a
   myth invented for the ad copy.   Nevertheless, I expect it to haunt
   my life as a lexicographer for at least the next ten years. :-(

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   dongle-disk /don'gl disk/ n.   A special floppy disk that is
   required in order to perform some task.   Some contain special coding
   that allows an application to identify it uniquely, others _are_
   special code that does something that normally-resident programs
   don't or can't.   (For example, AT&T's "Unix PC" would only come up
   in {root mode} with a special boot disk.)   Also called a `key disk'.
   See {dongle}.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   dangling pointer
  
      A reference that doesn't actually lead anywhere.
      In {C} and some other languages, a pointer that doesn't
      actually point at anything valid.   Usually this happens
      because it formerly pointed to something that has moved or
      disappeared, e.g. a {heap}-allocated block which has been freed
      and reused.
  
      Used as jargon in a generalisation of its technical meaning;
      for example, a local phone number for a person who has since
      moved is a dangling pointer.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   dongle
  
      /dong'gl/ (From "dangle" - because it dangles off
      the computer?)
  
      1. A security or {copy protection} device for
      commercial {microcomputer} programs that must be connected to
      an {I/O port} of the computer while the program is run.
      Programs that use a dongle query the port at start-up and at
      programmed intervals thereafter, and terminate if it does not
      respond with the expected validation code.
  
      One common form consisted of a serialised {EPROM} and some
      drivers in a {D-25} connector shell.
  
      Dongles attempt to combat {software theft} by ensuring that,
      while users can still make copies of the program (e.g. for
      {backup}), they must buy one dongle for each simultaneous use
      of the program.
  
      The idea was clever, but initially unpopular with users who
      disliked tying up a port this way.   By 1993 almost all dongles
      passed data through transparently while monitoring for their
      particular {magic} codes (and combinations of status lines)
      with minimal if any interference with devices further down the
      line.   This innovation was necessary to allow {daisy-chained}
      dongles for multiple pieces of software.
  
      In 1998, dongles and other copy protection systems are fairly
      uncommon for {Microsoft Windows} software but one engineer in
      a print and {CADD} bureau reports that their {Macintosh}
      computers typically run seven dongles: After Effects, Electric
      Image, two for Media 100, Ultimatte, Elastic Reality and CADD.
      These dongles are made for the Mac's daisy-chainable {ADB}
      port.
  
      The term is used, by extension, for any physical electronic
      key or transferable ID required for a program to function.
      Common variations on this theme have used the {parallel port}
      or even the {joystick} port or a {dongle-disk}.
  
      An early 1992 advertisment from Rainbow Technologies (a
      manufacturer of dongles) claimed that the word derived from
      "Don Gall", the alleged inventor of the device.   The company's
      receptionist however said that the story was a myth invented
      for the ad.

      2. A small adaptor cable that connects, e.g. a {PCMCIA}
      {modem} to a telephone socket or a PCMCIA {network card} to an
      {RJ45} {network cable}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   dongle-disk
  
      /don'gl disk/ (Or "key disk") A kind of {dongle} consisting of
      a special {floppy disk} that is required in order to perform
      some task.   Some contain special coding that allows an
      application to identify it uniquely, others *are* special code
      that does something that normally-resident programs don't or
      can't.
  
      For example, {AT&T}'s "Unix PC" would only come up in {root
      mode} with a special boot disk.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Dung-hill
      to sit on a, was a sign of the deepest dejection (1 Sam. 2:8;
      Ps. 113:7; Lam. 4:5).
