scribble n.   To modify a data structure in a random and    unintentionally destructive way.   "Bletch! Somebody's disk-compactor    program went berserk and scribbled on the i-node table."   "It was    working fine until one of the allocation routines scribbled on low    core."   Synonymous with {trash}; compare {mung}, which conveys a bit    more intention, and {mangle}, which is more violent and final.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
SR flip-flop          (Or "RS flip-flop") A "set/reset" {flip-flop} in       which activating the "S" input will switch it to one stable       state and activating the "R" input will switch it to the other       state.          The outputs of a basic SR flip-flop change whenever its R or S       inputs change appropriately.   A clocked SR flip-flop has an       extra clock input which enables or disables the other two       inputs.   When they are disabled the outputs remain constant.          If we connect two clocked SR flip-flops so that the Q and /Q       outputs of the first, "master" flip-flop drive the S and R       inputs of the second, "slave" flip-flop, and we drive the       slave's clock input with an inverted version of the master's       clock, then we have an {edge-triggered} RS flip-flop.   The       external R and S inputs of this device are latched on one edge       (transition) of the clock (e.g. the falling edge) and the       outputs will only change on the next opposite (rising) edge.          If both R and S inputs are active (when enabled), a {race       condition} occurs and the outputs will be in an indeterminate       state.   A {JK flip-flop} avoids this possibility.          {(http://www.play-hookey.com/digital/logic4.html)}.          (1997-05-15)
