Cloud \Cloud\ (kloud), n. [Prob. fr. AS. cl[umac]d a rock or       hillock, the application arising from the frequent       resemblance of clouds to rocks or hillocks in the sky or       air.]       1. A collection of visible vapor, or watery particles,             suspended in the upper atmosphere.                         I do set my bow in the cloud.            --Gen. ix. 13.          Note: A classification of clouds according to their chief                forms was first proposed by the meteorologist Howard,                and this is still substantially employed. The following                varieties and subvarieties are recognized:             (a) {Cirrus}. This is the most elevated of all the forms                   of clouds; is thin, long-drawn, sometimes looking like                   carded wool or hair, sometimes like a brush or room,                   sometimes in curl-like or fleecelike patches. It is                   the cat's-tail of the sailor, and the mare's-tail of                   the landsman.             (b) {Cumulus}. This form appears in large masses of a                   hemispherical form, or nearly so, above, but flat                   below, one often piled above another, forming great                   clouds, common in the summer, and presenting the                   appearance of gigantic mountains crowned with snow. It                   often affords rain and thunder gusts.             (c) {Stratus}. This form appears in layers or bands                   extending horizontally.             (d) {Nimbus}. This form is characterized by its uniform                   gray tint and ragged edges; it covers the sky in                   seasons of continued rain, as in easterly storms, and                   is the proper rain cloud. The name is sometimes used                   to denote a raining cumulus, or cumulostratus.             (e) {Cirro-cumulus}. This form consists, like the cirrus,                   of thin, broken, fleecelice clouds, but the parts are                   more or less rounded and regulary grouped. It is                   popularly called mackerel sky.             (f) {Cirro-stratus}. In this form the patches of cirrus                   coalesce in long strata, between cirrus and stratus.             (g) {Cumulo-stratus}. A form between cumulus and stratus,                   often assuming at the horizon a black or bluish tint.                   -- {Fog}, cloud, motionless, or nearly so, lying near                   or in contact with the earth's surface. -- {Storm                   scud}, cloud lying quite low, without form, and driven                   rapidly with the wind.          2. A mass or volume of smoke, or flying dust, resembling             vapor. [bd]A thick cloud of incense.[b8] --Ezek. viii. 11.          3. A dark vein or spot on a lighter material, as in marble;             hence, a blemish or defect; as, a cloud upon one's             reputation; a cloud on a title.          4. That which has a dark, lowering, or threatening aspect;             that which temporarily overshadows, obscures, or             depresses; as, a cloud of sorrow; a cloud of war; a cloud             upon the intellect.          5. A great crowd or multitude; a vast collection. [bd]So             great a cloud of witnesses.[b8] --Heb. xii. 1.          6. A large, loosely-knitted scarf, worn by women about the             head.          {Cloud on a} (or the) {title} (Law), a defect of title,             usually superficial and capable of removal by release,             decision in equity, or legislation.          {To be under a cloud}, to be under suspicion or in disgrace;             to be in disfavor.          {In the clouds}, in the realm of facy and imagination; beyond             reason; visionary.

In the {C} language's buffered input/ouput       library functions, a stream is associated with a file or       device which has been opened using {fopen}.   Characters may be       read from (written to) a stream without knowing their actual       source (destination) and buffering is provided transparently       by the library routines.          3. Confusingly, {Sun} have called their       modular {device driver} mechanism "{STREAMS}".          4. In {IBM}'s {AIX} {operating system}, a       stream is a {full-duplex} processing and data transfer path       between a driver in {kernel space} and a process in {user       space}.          [IBM AIX 3.2 Communication Programming Concepts,       SC23-2206-03].          5. {streaming}.          6. {lazy list}.          (1996-11-06)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
streaming          Playing {sound} or {video} in {real time} as       it is downloaded over the {Internet} as opposed to storing it       in a local file first.   A {plug-in} to a {web browser} such as       {Netscape Navigator} decompresses and plays the data as it is       transferred to your computer over the {World-Wide Web}.       Streaming audio or video avoids the delay entailed in       downloading an entire file and then playing it with a {helper       application}.   Streaming requires a fast connection and a       computer powerful enough to execute the decompression       {algorithm} in {real time}.          (1996-11-06)

STREAMS          A collection of {system calls}, {kernel}       resources, and kernel utility routines that can create, use,       and dismantle a {stream}.   A "stream head" provides the       interface between the stream and the user processes.   Its       principal function is to process STREAMS-related user system       calls.   A "stream module" processes data that travel bewteen       the stream head and driver.   The "stream end" provides the       services of an external input/output device or an internal       software driver.   The internal software driver is commonly       called a {pseudo-device} driver.          The STREAMS concept has been formalised in {Unix} {System V}.       For example, {SVR4} implements {sockets} and {pipes} using       STREAMS, resulting in pipe(2) openning bidirectional pipes.          [IBM AIX 3.2 Communication Programming Concepts, SC23-2206-03].          (1999-06-29)

strength reduction          An optimisation where a function of some systematically       changing variable is calculated more efficiently by using       previous values of the function.   In a {procedural language}       this would apply to an expression involving a loop variable       and in a {declarative language} it would apply to the argument       of a {recursive} function.   E.g.          f x = ... (2**x) ... (f (x+1)) ...          ==>          f x = f' x (2**x)                where                f ' x z = ... z ... (f' (x+1) 2*z) ...          Here the expensive operation (2**x) has been replaced by the       cheaper 2*z in the recursive function f'.   This maintains the       invariant that z = 2**x for any call to f'.          (1995-01-31)

string          A sequence of {data} values, usually {bytes},       which usually stand for {characters} (a "character string").       The {mapping} between values and characters is determined by       the {character set} which is itself specified implcitly or       explicitly by the environment in which the string is being       interpreted.          The most common character set is {ASCII} but, since the late       1990s, there has been increased interest in larger character       sets such as {Unicode} where each character is represented by       more than eight {bits}.          Most programming languages consider strings (e.g.       "124:shabooya:\n", "hello world") basically distinct from       numbers which are typically stored in fixed-length {binary} or       {floating-point} representation.          A {bit string} is a sequence of {bit}s.          (1999-12-21)

String Oriented Symbolic Language          (SNOBOL) A string processing language for text and       formula manipulation written by David Farber, Ralph Griswold,       and I. Polonsky of {Bell Labs} in 1962-3.          SNOBOL had only simple {control structures} but provided a       rich string-matching formalism of power comparable to {regular       expressions} but implementated differently.   People used it       for simple {natural language processing} analysis tasks well       into the 1980s.   Since then, {Perl} has come into favour for       such tasks.          SNOBOL was originally called "SEXI" - String EXpression       Interpreter.   In spite of the suggestive name, SNOBOL is not       related to {COBOL}.          Implementations include (in no particular order): {SNOBOL2},       {SNOBOL3}, {SNOBOL4}, {FASBOL}, {SITBOL}, {MAINBOL}, {SPITBOL}       and {vanilla}.          See also {EZ}, {Poplar}, {SIL} and {Icon}.          ["SNOBOL, A String Manipulating Language", R.

string reduction          A {reduction system} where an expression is represented as a       string of function names, constants and parentheses.   It is       reduced by replacing parts of the string representing subterms       by their value.          It is harder to represent sharing of subexpressions in string       reduction than in {graph reduction}.          (1995-02-06)

strong typing          Strict enforcement of {type} rules with no       exceptions.   All types are known at {compile time}, i.e. are       {statically bound}.   With variables that can store values of       more than one type, incorrect type usage can be detected at       {run time}.          Strong typing catches more errors at compile time than {weak       typing}, resulting in fewer run-time {exceptions}.          The languages {Ada}, {Java}, and {Haskell} are strongly typed.       {Pascal} is (almost) strongly typed.          {C} and {C++} are sometimes described as strongly typed, but       are perhaps better described as {weakly typed}.          (2000-07-04)

Star, Morning       a name figuratively given to Christ (Rev. 22:16; comp. 2 Pet.       1:19). When Christ promises that he will give the "morning star"       to his faithful ones, he "promises that he will give to them       himself, that he will give to them himself, that he will impart       to them his own glory and a share in his own royal dominion; for       the star is evermore the symbol of royalty (Matt. 2:2), being       therefore linked with the sceptre (Num. 24:17). All the glory of       the world shall end in being the glory of the Church." Trench's       Comm.

Stranger       This word generally denotes a person from a foreign land       residing in Palestine. Such persons enjoyed many privileges in       common with the Jews, but still were separate from them. The       relation of the Jews to strangers was regulated by special laws       (Deut. 23:3; 24:14-21; 25:5; 26:10-13). A special signification       is also sometimes attached to this word. In Gen. 23:4 it denotes       one resident in a foreign land; Ex. 23:9, one who is not a Jew;       Num. 3:10, one who is not of the family of Aaron; Ps. 69:8, an       alien or an unknown person. The Jews were allowed to purchase       strangers as slaves (Lev. 25:44, 45), and to take usury from       them (Deut. 23:20).

Stream of Egypt       (Isa. 27:12), the Wady el-'Arish, called also "the river of       Egypt," R.V., "brook of Egypt" (Num. 34:5; Josh. 15:4; 2 Kings       24:7). It is the natural boundary of Egypt. Occasionally in       winter, when heavy rains have fallen among the mountains inland,       it becomes a turbulent rushing torrent. The present boundary       between Egypt and Palestine is about midway between el-'Arish       and Gaza.
