Large; bulky; corpulent.          Syn: {Stout}, {Corpulent}, {Portly}.          Usage: Corpulent has reference simply to a superabundance or                   excess of flesh. Portly implies a kind of stoutness or                   corpulence which gives a dignified or imposing                   appearance. Stout, in our early writers (as in the                   English Bible), was used chiefly or wholly in the                   sense of strong or bold; as, a stout champion; a stout                   heart; a stout resistance, etc. At a later period it                   was used for thickset or bulky, and more recently,                   especially in England, the idea has been carried still                   further, so that Taylor says in his Synonyms: [bd]The                   stout man has the proportions of an ox; he is                   corpulent, fat, and fleshy in relation to his                   size.[b8] In America, stout is still commonly used in                   the original sense of strong as, a stout boy; a stout                   pole.

state n.   1. Condition, situation.   "What's the state of your    latest hack?"   "It's winning away."   "The system tried to read and    write the disk simultaneously and got into a totally {wedged}    state."   The standard question "What's your state?"   means "What are    you doing?" or "What are you about to do?"   Typical answers are    "about to gronk out", or "hungry".   Another standard question is    "What's the state of the world?", meaning "What's new?" or "What's    going on?".   The more terse and humorous way of asking these    questions would be "State-p?".   Another way of phrasing the first    question under sense 1 would be "state-p latest hack?".   2.    Information being maintained in non-permanent memory (electronic or    human).
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
state          How something is; its       configuration, attributes, condition, or information content.       The state of a system is usually temporary (i.e. it changes       with time) and volatile (i.e. it will be lost or reset to some       initial state if the system is switched off).          A state may be considered to be a point in some {space} of all       possible states.   A simple example is a light, which is either       on or off.   A complex example is the electrical activation in       a human brain while solving a problem.          In computing and related fields, states, as in the light       example, are often modelled as being {discrete} (rather than       continuous) and the transition from one state to another is       considered to be instantaneous.   Another (related) property of       a system is the number of possible states it may exhibit.       This may be finite or infinite.   A common model for a system       with a finite number of discrete state is a {finite state       machine}.          [{Jargon File}]          (1996-10-13)
