From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Q \Q\ (k[umac]), the seventeenth letter of the English alphabet, has but one sound (that of k), and is always followed by u, the two letters together being sounded like kw, except in some words in which the u is silent. See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect] 249. Q is not found in Anglo-Saxon, cw being used instead of qu; as in cwic, quick; cwen, queen. The name (k[umac]) is from the French ku, which is from the Latin name of the same letter; its form is from the Latin, which derived it, through a Greek alphabet, from the Ph[oe]nician, the ultimate origin being Egyptian. Etymologically, q or qu is most nearly related to a (ch, tch), p, q, and wh; as in cud, quid, L. equus, ecus, horse, Gr. [?], whence E. equine, hippic; L. quod which, E. what; L. aquila, E. eaqle; E. kitchen, OE. kichene, AS. cycene, L. coquina.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Q A very {high level language} by Per Bothner based on {lazy} generalised sequences. Q has {lexical scope}, and some support for {logic programming}[?] and {constraint} programming. The language includes small subsets of {Common Lisp} and {Scheme}. Q was a test-bed for programming language ideas. Where {APL} uses {arrays} for looping, Q uses generalised sequences which may be infinite and may be stored or calculated on demand. It has {macros}, {primitives} to run programs, and an {interactive} command language. Q is implemented in {C++}, and comes with an {interpreter}, {compiler} framework, libraries, and documentation. It runs on {Linux} and {SUN-4} and should work on any 32-bit {Unix}. Latest version: 1, as of 1993-06-07. Development stopped in 1994. {Home (http://kelso.bothner.com/~per/software/#Q )}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
queue A {first-in first-out} data structure used to sequence multiple demands for a resource such as a {printer}, {processor} or communications channel. Objects are added to the tail of the queue and taken off the head. A typical use of queues in an {operating system} involves a user command which places something on a queue, e.g. a file on a printer queue or a job on a job queue, and a {background} process or "{demon}" which takes things off and processes them (e.g. prints or executes them). Another common use is to pass data between an {interrupt handler} and a user process. (1995-05-11)
