saga n.   [WPI] A cuspy but bogus raving story about N random    broken people.          Here is a classic example of the saga form, as told by Guy L.    Steele:          Jon L. White (login name JONL) and I (GLS) were office mates at MIT       for many years.   One April, we both flew from Boston to California       for a week on research business, to consult face-to-face with some       people at Stanford, particularly our mutual friend Richard P.       Gabriel (RPG; see {gabriel}).          RPG picked us up at the San Francisco airport and drove us back to       Palo Alto (going {logical} south on route 101, parallel to {El       Camino Bignum}).   Palo Alto is adjacent to Stanford University and       about 40 miles south of San Francisco.   We ate at The Good Earth,       a `health food' restaurant, very popular, the sort whose       milkshakes all contain honey and protein powder.   JONL ordered       such a shake -- the waitress claimed the flavor of the day was       "lalaberry".   I still have no idea what that might be, but it       became a running joke.   It was the color of raspberry, and JONL       said it tasted rather bitter.   I ate a better tostada there than I       have ever had in a Mexican restaurant.          After this we went to the local Uncle Gaylord's Old Fashioned Ice       Cream Parlor.   They make ice cream fresh daily, in a variety of       intriguing flavors.   It's a chain, and they have a slogan: "If you       don't live near an Uncle Gaylord's -- MOVE!"   Also, Uncle Gaylord       (a real person) wages a constant battle to force big-name ice       cream makers to print their ingredients on the package (like air       and plastic and other non-natural garbage).   JONL and I had first       discovered Uncle Gaylord's the previous August, when we had flown       to a computer-science conference in Berkeley, California, the       first time either of us had been on the West Coast.   When not in       the conference sessions, we had spent our time wandering the length       of Telegraph Avenue, which (like Harvard Square in Cambridge) was       lined with picturesque street vendors and interesting little shops.       On that street we discovered Uncle Gaylord's Berkeley store.   The       ice cream there was very good.   During that August visit JONL went       absolutely bananas (so to speak) over one particular flavor, ginger       honey.          Therefore, after eating at The Good Earth -- indeed, after every       lunch and dinner and before bed during our April visit -- a trip       to Uncle Gaylord's (the one in Palo Alto) was mandatory.   We had       arrived on a Wednesday, and by Thursday evening we had been there       at least four times.   Each time, JONL would get ginger honey ice       cream, and proclaim to all bystanders that "Ginger was the spice       that drove the Europeans mad!   That's why they sought a route to       the East!   They used it to preserve their otherwise off-taste       meat."   After the third or fourth repetition RPG and I were       getting a little tired of this spiel, and began to paraphrase him:       "Wow!   Ginger!   The spice that makes rotten meat taste good!"       "Say!   Why don't we find some dog that's been run over and sat in       the sun for a week and put some _ginger_ on it for dinner?!"       "Right!   With a lalaberry shake!"   And so on.   This failed to faze       JONL; he took it in good humor, as long as we kept returning to       Uncle Gaylord's.   He loves ginger honey ice cream.          Now RPG and his then-wife KBT (Kathy Tracy) were putting us up       (putting up with us?) in their home for our visit, so to thank them       JONL and I took them out to a nice French restaurant of their       choosing.   I unadventurously chose the filet mignon, and KBT had       je ne sais quoi du jour, but RPG and JONL had lapin (rabbit).       (Waitress: "Oui, we have fresh rabbit, fresh today."   RPG: "Well,       JONL, I guess we won't need any _ginger_!")          We finished the meal late, about 11 P.M., which is 2 A.M Boston       time, so JONL and I were rather droopy.   But it wasn't yet       midnight.   Off to Uncle Gaylord's!          Now the French restaurant was in Redwood City, north of Palo Alto.       In leaving Redwood City, we somehow got onto route 101 going north       instead of south.   JONL and I wouldn't have known the difference       had RPG not mentioned it.   We still knew very little of the local       geography.   I did figure out, however, that we were headed in the       direction of Berkeley, and half-jokingly suggested that we continue       north and go to Uncle Gaylord's in Berkeley.          RPG said "Fine!" and we drove on for a while and talked.   I was       drowsy, and JONL actually dropped off to sleep for 5 minutes.   When       he awoke, RPG said, "Gee, JONL, you must have slept all the way       over the bridge!", referring to the one spanning San Francisco       Bay.   Just then we came to a sign that said "University Avenue".       I mumbled something about working our way over to Telegraph Avenue;       RPG said "Right!" and maneuvered some more.   Eventually we pulled       up in front of an Uncle Gaylord's.          Now, I hadn't really been paying attention because I was so sleepy,       and I didn't really understand what was happening until RPG let me       in on it a few moments later, but I was just alert enough to notice       that we had somehow come to the Palo Alto Uncle Gaylord's after       all.          JONL noticed the resemblance to the Palo Alto store, but hadn't       caught on.   (The place is lit with red and yellow lights at night,       and looks much different from the way it does in daylight.)   He       said, "This isn't the Uncle Gaylord's I went to in Berkeley!   It       looked like a barn!   But this place looks _just like_ the one back       in Palo Alto!"          RPG deadpanned, "Well, this is the one _I_ always come to when I'm       in Berkeley.   They've got two in San Francisco, too.   Remember,       they're a chain."          JONL accepted this bit of wisdom.   And he was not totally ignorant       -- he knew perfectly well that University Avenue was in Berkeley,       not far from Telegraph Avenue.   What he didn't know was that there       is a completely different University Avenue in Palo Alto.          JONL went up to the counter and asked for ginger honey.   The guy at       the counter asked whether JONL would like to taste it first,       evidently their standard procedure with that flavor, as not too       many people like it.          JONL said, "I'm sure I like it.   Just give me a cone."   The guy       behind the counter insisted that JONL try just a taste first.       "Some people think it tastes like soap."   JONL insisted, "Look, I       _love_ ginger.   I eat Chinese food.   I eat raw ginger roots.   I       already went through this hassle with the guy back in Palo Alto.       I _know_ I like that flavor!"          At the words "back in Palo Alto" the guy behind the counter got a       very strange look on his face, but said nothing.   KBT caught his       eye and winked.   Through my stupor I still hadn't quite grasped       what was going on, and thought RPG was rolling on the floor       laughing and clutching his stomach just because JONL had launched       into his spiel ("makes rotten meat a dish for princes") for the       forty-third time.   At this point, RPG clued me in fully.          RPG, KBT, and I retreated to a table, trying to stifle our       chuckles.   JONL remained at the counter, talking about ice cream       with the guy b.t.c., comparing Uncle Gaylord's to other ice cream       shops and generally having a good old time.          At length the g.b.t.c. said, "How's the ginger honey?"   JONL said,       "Fine!   I wonder what exactly is in it?"   Now Uncle Gaylord       publishes all his recipes and even teaches classes on how to make       his ice cream at home.   So the g.b.t.c. got out the recipe, and he       and JONL pored over it for a while.   But the g.b.t.c. could       contain his curiosity no longer, and asked again, "You really like       that stuff, huh?"   JONL said, "Yeah, I've been eating it       constantly back in Palo Alto for the past two days.   In fact, I       think this batch is about as good as the cones I got back in Palo       Alto!"          G.b.t.c. looked him straight in the eye and said, "You're _in_       Palo Alto!"          JONL turned slowly around, and saw the three of us collapse in a       fit of giggles.   He clapped a hand to his forehead and exclaimed,       "I've been hacked!"          [My spies on the West Coast inform me that there is a close    relative of the raspberry found out there called an `ollalieberry'    --ESR]          [Ironic footnote: it appears that the {meme} about ginger vs.    rotting meat may be an urban legend.   It's not borne out by an    examination of medieval recipes or period purchase records for    spices, and appears full-blown in the works of Samuel Pegge, a    gourmand and notorious flake case who originated numerous food    myths. --ESR]

SEX /seks/   [Sun Users' Group & elsewhere] n. 1. Software    EXchange.   A technique invented by the blue-green algae hundreds of    millions of years ago to speed up their evolution, which had been    terribly slow up until then.   Today, SEX parties are popular among    hackers and others (of course, these are no longer limited to    exchanges of genetic software).   In general, SEX parties are a {Good    Thing}, but unprotected SEX can propagate a {virus}.   See also    {pubic directory}.   2. The rather Freudian mnemonic often used for    Sign EXtend, a machine instruction found in the PDP-11 and many    other architectures.   The RCA 1802 chip used in the early Elf and    SuperElf personal computers had a `SEt X register' SEX instruction,    but this seems to have had little folkloric impact.   The Data    General instruction set also had `SEX'.          {DEC}'s engineers nearly got a PDP-11 assembler that used the    `SEX' mnemonic out the door at one time, but (for once) marketing    wasn't asleep and forced a change.   That wasn't the last time this    happened, either.   The author of "The Intel 8086 Primer", who was    one of the original designers of the 8086, noted that there was    originally a `SEX' instruction on that processor, too.   He says that    Intel management got cold feet and decreed that it be changed, and    thus the instruction was renamed `CBW' and `CWD' (depending on what    was being extended).   Amusingly, the Intel 8048 (the microcontroller    used in IBM PC keyboards) is also missing straight `SEX' but has    logical-or and logical-and instructions `ORL' and `ANL'.          The Motorola 6809, used in the Radio Shack Color Computer and in    U.K.'s `Dragon 32' personal computer, actually had an official `SEX'    instruction; the 6502 in the Apple II with which it competed did    not.   British hackers thought this made perfect mythic sense; after    all, it was commonly observed, you could (on some theoretical level)    have sex with a dragon, but you can't have sex with an apple.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
SOS /S-O-S/   n.,obs. An infamously {losing} text editor.   Once,    back in the 1960s, when a text editor was needed for the PDP-6, a    hacker crufted together a {quick-and-dirty} `stopgap editor' to be    used until a better one was written.   Unfortunately, the old one was    never really discarded when new ones came along.   SOS is a    descendant (`Son of Stopgap') of that editor, and many PDP-10 users    gained the dubious pleasure of its acquaintance.   Since then other    programs similar in style to SOS have been written, notably the    early font editor BILOS /bye'lohs/, the Brother-In-Law Of Stopgap    (the alternate expansion `Bastard Issue, Loins of Stopgap' has been    proposed).

SEX          /seks/ [Sun Users' Group & elsewhere] 1. Software EXchange.   A       technique invented by the blue-green algae hundreds of       millions of years ago to speed up their evolution, which had       been terribly slow up until then.   Today, SEX parties are       popular among hackers and others (of course, these are no       longer limited to exchanges of genetic software).   In general,       SEX parties are a {Good Thing}, but unprotected SEX can       propagate a {virus}.   See also {pubic directory}.          2. The {mnemonic} often used for Sign EXtend, a machine       instruction found in the {PDP-11} and many other       architectures.   The {RCA 1802} chip used in the early {Elf}       and SuperElf {personal computers} had a "SEt X register" SEX       instruction, but this seems to have had little folkloric       impact.          DEC's engineers nearly got a {PDP-11} {assembler} that used       the "SEX" mnemonic out the door at one time, but (for once)       marketing wasn't asleep and forced a change.   That wasn't the       last time this happened, either.   The author of "The Intel       8086 Primer", who was one of the original designers of the       {Intel 8086}, noted that there was originally a "SEX"       instruction on that processor, too.   He says that Intel       management got cold feet and decreed that it be changed, and       thus the instruction was renamed "CBW" and "CWD" (depending on       what was being extended).   The {Intel 8048} (the       {microcontroller} used in {IBM PC} keyboards) is also missing       straight "SEX" but has logical-or and logical-and instructions       "ORL" and "ANL".          The {Motorola 6809}, used in the UK's "{Dragon 32}" {personal       computer}, actually had an official "SEX" instruction; the       {6502} in the {Apple II} with which it competed did not.       British hackers thought this made perfect mythic sense; after       all, it was commonly observed, you could (on some theoretical       level) have sex with a dragon, but you can't have sex with an       apple.          [{Jargon File}]          (1998-03-03)

SOS          1. {Scheme Object System}.          2. An infamously {losing} text editor.   Once, back in the       1960s, when a text editor was needed for the {PDP-6}, a hacker       crufted together a {quick-and-dirty} "stopgap editor" to be       used until a better one was written.   Unfortunately, the old       one was never really discarded when new ones (in particular,       {TECO}) came along.   SOS is a descendant ("Son of Stopgap") of       that editor, and many {PDP-10} users gained the dubious       pleasure of its acquaintance.   Since then other programs       similar in style to SOS have been written, notably the early       font editor BILOS /bye'lohs/, the Brother-In-Law Of Stopgap       (the alternate expansion "Bastard Issue, Loins of Stopgap" has       been proposed).          3.

SYSKEY          A utility that       {encrpyts} the {hashed} {password} information in a {SAM}       database using a 128-bit {encryption key}.          SYSKEY was an optional feature added in {Windows NT} 4.0 SP3.       It was meant to protect against {offline} password {cracking}       attacks so that the SAM database would still be secure even if       someone had a copy of it.   However, in December 1999, a       security team from {BindView (http://www.bindview.com/)} found       a security hole in SYSKEY which indicates that a certain form       of {cryptoanalytic} attack is possible offline.   A       {brute-force attack} then appeared to be possible.          Microsoft later collaborated with BindView to issue a fix       (dubbed the 'Syskey Bug') which appears to have been settled       and SYSKEY pronounced secure enough to resist brute-force       attack.          According to Todd Sabin of the BindView team RAZOR, the       pre-RC3 versions of {Windows 2000} were also affected.          {BindView Security Advisory       (http://packetstorm.securify.com/9912-exploits/bindview.syskey.txt)}.          {BindView press release       (http://www.bindview.com/news/99/1222.html)}.          {Microsoft bulletin       (http://www.microsoft.com/Security/Bulletins/ms99-056.asp)}.          (2000-07-16)
