   Indolence \In"do*lence\, n. [L. indolentia freedom from pain:
      cf. F. indolence.]
      1. Freedom from that which pains, or harasses, as toil, care,
            grief, etc. [Obs.]
  
                     I have ease, if it may not rather be called
                     indolence.                                          --Bp. Hough.
  
      2. The quality or condition of being indolent; inaction, or
            want of exertion of body or mind, proceeding from love of
            ease or aversion to toil; habitual idleness; indisposition
            to labor; laziness; sloth; inactivity.

                     [bd]indolence[b8]! This is from [bd]in[b8] and
                     [bd]doleo,[b8] not to grieve; and indolence is thus
                     a state in which we have no grief or pain; so that
                     the word, as we now employ it, seems to affirm that
                     indulgence in sloth and ease is that which would
                     constitute for us the absence of all pain. --Trench.

   Indulgence \In*dul"gence\, n. [L. indulgentia: cf. F.
      indulgence.]
      1. The act of indulging or humoring; the quality of being
            indulgent; forbearance of restrain or control.
  
                     If I were a judge, that word indulgence should never

            repentance; absolution from the censures and public
            penances of the church. It is a payment of the debt of

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Reserve \Re*serve"\, n.
      1. (Finance)
            (a) That part of the assets of a bank or other financial
                  institution specially kept in cash in a more or less
                  liquid form as a reasonable provision for meeting all
                  demands which may be made upon it; specif.:
            (b) (Banking) Usually, the uninvested cash kept on hand
                  for this purpose, called the {real reserve}. In Great
                  Britain the ultimate real reserve is the gold kept on
                  hand in the Bank of England, largely represented by
                  the notes in hand in its own banking department; and
                  any balance which a bank has with the Bank of England
                  is a part of its reserve. In the United States the
                  reserve of a national bank consists of the amount of
                  lawful money it holds on hand against deposits, which
                  is required by law to be not less than 15 per cent
                  (--U. S. Rev. Stat. secs. 5191, 5192), three fifths of
                  which the banks not in a reserve city (which see) may
                  keep deposited as balances in national banks that are
                  in reserve cities (--U. S. Rev. Stat. sec. 5192).
            (c) (Life Insurance) The amount of funds or assets
                  necessary for a company to have at any given time to
                  enable it, with interest and premiums paid as they
                  shall accure, to meet all claims on the insurance then
                  in force as they would mature according to the
                  particular mortality table accepted. The reserve is
                  always reckoned as a liability, and is calculated on
                  net premiums. It is theoretically the difference
                  between the present value of the total insurance and
                  the present value of the future premiums on the
                  insurance. The reserve, being an amount for which
                  another company could, theoretically, afford to take
                  over the insurance, is sometimes called the
  
      {reinsurance fund} or the
  
      {self-insurance fund}. For the first year upon any policy the
            net premium is called the
  
      {initial reserve}, and the balance left at the end of the
            year including interest is the
  
      {terminal reserve}. For subsequent years the initial reserve
            is the net premium, if any, plus the terminal reserve of
            the previous year. The portion of the reserve to be
            absorbed from the initial reserve in any year in payment
            of losses is sometimes called the
  
      {insurance reserve}, and the terminal reserve is then called
            the
  
      {investment reserve}.
  
      2. In exhibitions, a distinction which indicates that the
            recipient will get a prize if another should be

      3. (Calico Printing) A resist.
  
      4. A preparation used on an object being electroplated to fix
            the limits of the deposit.
  
      5. See {Army organization}, above.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Velocity \Ve*loc"i*ty\, n.; pl. {Velocities}. [L. velocitas,
      from velox, -ocis, swift, quick; perhaps akin to v[?]lare to
      fly (see {Volatile}): cf. F. v[82]locit[82].]
      1. Quickness of motion; swiftness; speed; celerity; rapidity;
            as, the velocity of wind; the velocity of a planet or
            comet in its orbit or course; the velocity of a cannon
            ball; the velocity of light.
  
      Note: In such phrases, velocity is more generally used than
               celerity. We apply celerity to animals; as, a horse or
               an ostrich runs with celerity; but bodies moving in the
               air or in ethereal space move with greater or less
               velocity, not celerity. This usage is arbitrary, and
               perhaps not universal.
  
      2. (Mech.) Rate of motion; the relation of motion to time,
            measured by the number of units of space passed over by a

            of feet passed over in a second. See the Note under
            {Speed}.
  
      {Angular velocity}. See under {Angular}.
  
      {Initial velocity}, the velocity of a moving body at
            starting; especially, the velocity of a projectile as it
            leaves the mouth of a firearm from which it is discharged.
           
  
      {Relative velocity}, the velocity with which a body
            approaches or recedes from another body, whether both are
            moving or only one.
  
      {Uniform velocity}, velocity in which the same number of
            units of space are described in each successive unit of
            time.
  
      {Variable velocity}, velocity in which the space described
            varies from instant, either increasing or decreasing; --
            in the former case called accelerated velocity, in the
            latter, retarded velocity; the acceleration or retardation
            itself being also either uniform or variable.
  
      {Virtual velocity}. See under {Virtual}.
  
      Note: In variable velocity, the velocity, strictly, at any
               given instant, is the rate of motion at that instant,
               and is expressed by the units of space, which, if the
               velocity at that instant were continued uniform during
               a unit of time, would be described in the unit of time;
               thus, the velocity of a falling body at a given instant
               is the number of feet which, if the motion which the
               body has at that instant were continued uniformly for
               one second, it would pass through in the second. The
               scientific sense of velocity differs from the popular
               sense in being applied to all rates of motion, however
               slow, while the latter implies more or less rapidity or
               quickness of motion.
  
      Syn: Swiftness; celerity; rapidity; fleetness; speed.

   initialise
  
      To give a {variable} its first value.   This may
      be done automatically by some languages or it may require
      explicit code by the programmer.   Some languages allow
      initialisation to be combined with variable definition,
      e.g. in {C}:
  
      int i = 0;
  
      Failing to initialise a variable before using it is a common
      programming error, but one which compilers and automatic
      checkers like {lint} can easily detect.

   Intel 486
  
      (Or "i486", "iAPX 80486", and "Intel DX4" but
      usually just "486").   A range of {Intel} {CISC}
      {microprocessors} which is part of the {Intel 80x86} family of
      processors.
  
      The 486s are very similar to their immediate predecessor, the
      {Intel 80386}DX.   The main differences are that the 486 has an
      optimised {instruction set}, has an on-chip unified
      instruction and data {cache}, an optional on-chip
      {floating-point unit} (FPU), and an enhanced {bus interface
      unit}.   These improvements yield a rough doubling in
      performance over an {Intel 80386} at the same {clock rate}.
  
      There are several suffixes and variants including:
  
      {Intel 486SX} - a 486DX with its {FPU} disabled (see
      {crippleware}).
  
      {Intel 486DX} - 486SX with a working {FPU}.
  
      486DX-2 - runs at twice the external {clock rate}.
  
      486SX-2 - runs at twice the external {clock rate}.
  
      486SL - 486DX with power conservation circuitry.
  
      486SL-NM - 486SX with power conservation circuitry; SL
      enhanced suffix, denotes a 486 with special power conservation
      circuitry similar to that in the 486SL processors.
  
      487 - 486DX with a slightly different pinout for use in 486SX
      systems.
  
      OverDrive - 486DX-2 with a slightly different pinout for use
      in 486SX systems.
  
      {RapidCAD} - 486DX in a special package with a companion {FPU}
      dummy package for use in {Intel 80386} systems.
  
      {Intel DX4}, {Cyrix} {Cy486SLC}.
  
      External {clock rates} include 16MHz, 20MHz, 25MHz, 33MHz,
      40MHz, although 16Mhz is rare now, and the 20MHz processors
      are often clock doubled.
  
      The 486 processor has been licensed or reverse engineered by
      other companies such as {IBM}, {AMD}, {Cyrix}, and {Chips &
      Technologies}.   Some are almost exact duplicates in
      specications and performance, some aren't.
  
      The successor to the 486 is the {Pentium}.

   Intel 486DX
  
      One of {Intel}'s {Intel 486} family of
      {microprocessors} (one of the last before the {Pentium}).   The
      486DX has a working built-in {floating point unit} (FPU).   The
      {Intel 486SX} is effectively a DX with the FPU disabled.   The
      DX has a pin to select the external {data bus} width (16 or
      32).

   Intel 486SX
  
      An {Intel 486DX} {microprocessor} with its
      {floating-point unit} disconnected.   All 486SX chips were
      fabricated with FPUs.   If testing showed that the CPU was OK
      but the FPU was defective, the FPU's power and bus connections
      were destroyed with a laser and the chip was sold cheaper as
      an SX, if the FPU worked it was sold as a DX.
  
      [Was this true of all 486SX chips?]
  
      Some systems, e.g. Aopen 486SX, allowed a DX to be plugged
      into an expansion socket.   A board jumper would disable the SX
      which was hard to remove because it was surface mounted.
  
      Some SX chips only had a 16-bit wide external {data bus}.   The
      DX has a pin to select the data bus width (16 or 32).   On the
      smaller SX, that line is {hard-wired} to 16 inside the
      package.   This is similar to the 286 SX, which was a 16-bit
      processor with an 8-bit external data bus.
  
      The {Jargon File} claimed that the SX was deliberately
      disabled {crippleware}.   The German computer magazine, "c't",
      made this same theory the basis of an {April Fools Joke}.
      They claimed that if one drilled a hole of a specified
      diameter through the right point on a SX chip, this would
      brake the circuit that disables the FPU.   Some people actually
      tried (and then bought themselves new processors).

      Although the 486SX is completely disabled when you install a

      A {microprocessor} developed by {Intel} circa
      1982.   The 80186 was an improvement on the {Intel 8086} and
      {Intel 8088}.   As with the 8086, it had a 16-bit {external

      "To satisfy this market, we defined a processor with a
      significant performance increase over the 8086 that also
      included such common peripheral functions as
      software-controlled wait state and chip select logic, three
      timers, priority interrupt controller, and two channels of DMA
      (direct memory access).   This processor, the 80186, could
      replace up to 22 separate VLSI (very large scale integration)
      and TTL (transistor-transistor logic) packages and sell for
      less than the cost of the parts it replaced."

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Intel 8086
  
      A sixteen bit {microprocessor} chip used in early
      {IBM PC}s.   The {Intel 8088} was a version with an eight-bit
      external data bus.
  
      The Intel 8086 was based on the design of the {Intel 8080} and
      {Intel 8085} (it was {source compatible} with the 8080) with a
      similar {register set}, but was expanded to 16 bits.   The Bus
      Interface Unit fed the instruction stream to the Execution
      Unit through a 6 byte {prefetch} queue, so fetch and execution
      were concurrent - a primitive form of {pipelining} (8086
      instructions varied from 1 to 4 bytes).
  
      It featured four 16-bit general {register}s, which could also
      be accessed as eight 8-bit registers, and four 16-bit {index
      registers} (including the {stack pointer}).   The data
      registers were often used implicitly by instructions,
      complicating {register allocation} for temporary values.   It
      featured 64K 8-bit I/O (or 32K 16 bit) ports and fixed
      {vectored interrupts}.   There were also four {segment
      registers} that could be set from index registers.
  
      The segment registers allowed the CPU to access 1 meg of
      memory in an odd way.   Rather than just supplying missing
      bytes, as most segmented processors, the 8086 actually shifted
      the segment registers left 4 bits and added it to the address.
      As a result, segments overlapped, and it was possible to have
      two pointers with the same value point to two different memory
      locations, or two pointers with different values pointing to
      the same location.   Most people consider this a {brain
      damaged} design.
  
      Although this was largely acceptable for {assembly language},
      where control of the segments was complete (it could even be
      useful then), in higher level languages it caused constant
      confusion (e.g. near/far pointers).   Even worse, this made
      expanding the address space to more than 1 meg difficult.   A
      later version, the {Intel 80386}, expanded the design to 32
      bits, and "fixed" the segmentation, but required extra modes
      (suppressing the new features) for compatibility, and retains
      the awkward architecture.   In fact, with the right assembler,
      code written for the 8008 can still be run on the most recent
      {Intel 486}.
  
      The {Intel 80386} added new {op code}s in a kludgy fashion
      similar to the {Zilog Z80} and {Zilog Z280}.   The {Intel
      486} added full {pipeline}s, and {clock doubling} (like the
      {Zilog Z280}).
  
      So why did {IBM} chose the 8086 series when most of the
      alternatives were so much better?   Apparently IBM's own
      engineers wanted to use the {Motorola 68000}, and it was used
      later in the forgotten {IBM Instruments} 9000 Laboratory
      Computer, but IBM already had rights to manufacture the 8086,
      in exchange for giving Intel the rights to its {bubble memory}
      designs.   Apparently IBM was using 8086s in the IBM
      {Displaywriter} {word processor}.
  
      Other factors were the 8-bit {Intel 8088} version, which could
      use existing {Intel 8085}-type components, and allowed the
      computer to be based on a modified 8085 design.   68000
      components were not widely available, though it could use
      {Motorola 6800} components to an extent.
  
      {Intel} {bubble memory} was on the market for a while, but
      faded away as better and cheaper memory technologies arrived.

      facilities throughout the western US, Europe and Asia.   In
      1995 nearly 75% of the world's {personal computer}s use Intel
      architecture.   Annual revenues are rapidly approaching $10
      billion.   In March, 1994, "Business Week" named Intel one of
      the top ten American companies in terms of profit, one of the
      top 15 market value winners, and 16th out of the magazine's
      top 1,000 companies overall.
  
      Intel invested a record $2.9 billion in capital and R&D in
      1993, and expects to increase combined spending on these
      activities to $3.5 billion in 1994.   Quarterly sales were
      $2770M and profits, $640M in Aug 1994.

   Intel i960
  
      A {superscalar} 32-bit {RISC} {microprocessor}
      from {Intel} intended for {embedded} applications.
  
      The i960 CA variant can reach 66 native MIPS peak performance
      with a sustained execution of two instructions per clock
      cycle.   The i960 CF has an on-chip, four kilobyte two-way
      {set-associative} {instruction cache} and a one kilobyte {data
      cache}.   Both the CA and CF processors have on-chip {RAM}; a
      four-channel {DMA} unit; and integrated peripherals.

   IntelDX4
  
      Essentially an {Intel 486DX} {microprocessor} with
      a 16 kilobyte on-chip {cache}.
  
      The DX4 is the fastest member of the {Intel 486} family.   75
      and 100MHz versions are available.   At an iCOMP index rating
      of 435, the 100 MHz DX4 performs up to 50% faster than the 66
      MHz {Intel DX2}.   The DX4's {clock multiplier} allows the
      processor to run three times faster than the {system clock}.
      This performance is achieved in part by a 16K on-chip {cache}
      (double that of the other 486s).   The DX4 has an integrated
      {floating point unit}.
  
      Like the other 486s, the DX4 achieves performance through a
      {RISC} integer core that executes frequently used instructions
      in a single {clock cycle} (the {Pentium}'s can execute
      multiple instructions in a single clock cycle).
  
      Low power consumption has been achieved with {SL} Technology
      and a 0.6 micron manufacturing process, giving 1.6 million
      {transistor}s on a single chip operating at only 3.3 Volts.
  
      "IntelDX4" is the entire name, the "486" has been dropped and
      I am assured that there is no space in the same.

   intelligent backtracking
  
      An improved {backtracking} {algorithm} for
      {Prolog} {interpreters}, which records the point at which each
      {logic variable} becomes bound and, when a given set of
      bindings leads to failure, ignores any {choice point} which
      does not bind any of those variables.   No choice from such a
      choice point can succeed since it does not change the bindings
      which caused the failure.

   intelligent database
  
      A {database management system} which performs data
      validation and processing traditionally done by {application
      programs}.   Most DBMSs provide some data validation,
      e.g. rejecting invalid dates or alphabetic data entered into
      money fields, but often most processing is done by application
      programs.   There is however no limit to the amount of
      processing that can be done by an intelligent database as long
      as the process is a standard function for that data.
  
      Examples of techniques used to implement intelligent databases
      are {constraints}, {triggers} and {stored procedures}.
  
      Moving processing to the database aids {data integrity}
      because it is guaranteed to be consistent across all uses of
      the data.   {Mainframe} databases have increasingly become more
      intelligent and personal computer database systems are rapidly
      following.

   Intelligent Input/Output
  
      /i:-too-oh/ (I2O) A specification which aims to
      provide an {I/O} {device driver} architecture that is
      independent of both the specific device being controlled and
      the host {operating system}.   The Hardware Device Module (HDM)
      manages the device and the OS Services Module (OSM) interfaces
      to the host operating system.   The HDM is portable across
      multiple operating systems, processors and busses.   The HDM
      and OSM communicate via a two layer {message passing}
      {protocol}.   A Message Layer sets up a communications session
      and runs on top of a Transport Layer which defines how the two
      parties share information.
  
      I2O is also designed to facilitate intelligent I/O subsystems,
      with support for {message passing} between multiple
      independent processors.   By relieving the host of {interrupt}
      intensive I/O tasks required by the various layers of a driver
      architecture, the I2O intelligent I/O architecture greatly
      improves I/O performance.   I2O systems will be able to more
      efficiently deliver the I/O throughput required by a wide
      range of high bandwidth applications, such as networked
      {video}, {groupware} and {client-server} processing.   I2O does
      not restrict where the layered modules execute, providing
      support for single processor, {multiprocessor}, and
      {clustered} systems.
  
      I2O is not intended to replace the driver architectures
      currently in existence.   Rather, the objective is to provide
      an open, standards-based approach, which is complementary to
      existing drivers, and provides a framework for the rapid
      development of a new generation of portable, intelligent I/O.

   intelligent key
  
      A {relational database} {key} which depends wholely
      on one or more other columns in the same table.   An
      intelligent key might be identified for implementation
      convenience, where there is no good {candidate key}.
  
      For example, if the three-letter initials of a group of people
      are known to be unique but only their full names are recorded,
      a three letter acronym for their names (e.g. John Doe Smith ->
      JDS) would be an intelligent key.
  
      Intelligent keys are a {Bad Thing} because it is hard to
      guarantee uniqueness, and if the value on which an intelligent
      key depends changes then the key must either stay the same,
      creating an inconsistency within the containing table, or
      change, requiring changes to all other tables in which it
      appears as a {foreign key}.   The correct solution is to use a
      {surrogate key}.

   intelligent terminal
  
      (or "smart terminal", "programmable terminal") A
      terminal that often contains not only a keyboard and screen,
      but also comes with a disk drive and printer, so it can
      perform limited processing tasks when not communicating
      directly with the central computer.   Some can be programmed by
      the user to perform many basic tasks, including both
      arithmetic and logic operations.   In some cases, when the user
      enters data, the {data} will be checked for errors and some
      type of report will be produced.   In addition, the valid data
      that is entered may be stored on the disk, it will be
      transmitted over communication lines to the central computer.
  
      An intelligent terminal may have enough computing capability
      to draw graphics or to offload some kind of front-end
      processing from the computer it talks to.
  
      The development of {workstation}s and {personal computer}s has
      made this term and the product it describes semi-obsolescent,
      but one may still hear variants of the phrase "act like a
      smart terminal" used to describe the behaviour of workstations
      or PCs with respect to programs that execute almost entirely
      out of a remote {server}'s storage, using said devices as
      displays.
  
      The term once meant any terminal with an {addressable cursor};
      the opposite of a {glass tty}.   Today, a terminal with merely
      an addressable cursor, but with none of the more-powerful
      features mentioned above, is called a {dumb terminal}.
  
      There is a classic quote from Rob Pike (inventor of the {blit}
      terminal): "A smart terminal is not a smart*ass* terminal, but
      rather a terminal you can educate".   This illustrates a common
      design problem: The attempt to make peripherals (or anything
      else) intelligent sometimes results in finicky, rigid "special
      features" that become just so much dead weight if you try to
      use the device in any way the designer didn't anticipate.
      Flexibility and programmability, on the other hand, are
      *really* smart.
  
      Compare {hook}.
