Soap is produced by       combining fats or oils with alkalies or alkaline earths,       usually by boiling, and consists of salts of sodium,       potassium, etc., with the fatty acids (oleic, stearic,       palmitic, etc.). See the Note below, and cf.       {Saponification}. By extension, any compound of similar       composition or properties, whether used as a cleaning agent       or not.          Note: In general, soaps are of two classes, hard and soft.                Calcium, magnesium, lead, etc., form soaps, but they                are insoluble and useless.                            The purifying action of soap depends upon the                         fact that it is decomposed by a large quantity of                         water into free alkali and an insoluble acid                         salt.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
stack puke n.   Some processor architectures are said to `puke    their guts onto the stack' to save their internal state during    exception processing.   The Motorola 68020, for example, regurgitates    up to 92 bytes on a bus fault.   On a pipelined machine, this can    take a while.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
satisfiability problem          A problem used as an example in {complexity theory}.   It can       be stated thus:             Given a Boolean expression E, decide if there is some          assignment to the variables in E such that E is true.          A {Boolean} expression is composed of Boolean variables,       (logical) negation (NOT), (logical) {conjunction} (AND) and       parentheses for grouping.   The satisfiability problem was the       first problem to be proved to be {NP-complete} (by Cook).          ["Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation"       by Hopcroft and Ullman, pub. Addison-Wesley].          (1994-11-11)

Sketchpad          A program that allowed users to draw on a screen with a {light       pen}.   It supported constraints (e.g. drawing a constrained       ellipse produced a circle).   It also had some {computer aided       design} features (e.g. computing loads on beams).          Sketchpad was the subject of {Ivan E. Sutherland}'s 1963 {MIT}       PhD thesis, which opened the field of {computer graphics}.   It       was the progenitor of computer drawing packages like {MacDraw}       or {Adobe Illustrator}.   There is a film of Sketchpad in       action.          It solved {constraint}s using {value inference} and introduced       the "{ring}" list structure.          ["Sketchpad: A Man-Machine Graphical Communication System",       I.e.

stack frame          {activation record}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
stack overflow          An error condition which results from attempting       to {push} more items onto a {stack} than space has been       allocated for.   Often, this will simply overwrite the adjacent       memory locations causing hard-to-trace {bug}s.          Stack overflow can result, for example, from an insufficient       number of stack frames to handle hardware {interrupt}s.          (1995-03-21)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
stack pointer          (SP) A {register} or variable       pointing to the top of a {stack}.   If the stack is a "full"       stack the SP points to the most recently {push}ed item, else       if it is an "empty" stack, the PS points to the first empty       location, where the next item will be pushed.          (1995-03-21)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
sticky bit          The {bit} in the mode of a {Unix} file       which, if set for an executable, tells the {kernel} to keep       the code loaded in {swap space} even after it has finished       executing on the assumption that it is likely to be used again       soon.   This performance optimisation was included in some       early (and recent?) versions of {Unix} to save reloading       frequently used programs such as the {shell} or {vi} from       disk.          If the sticky bit is set on a directory, an unprivileged user       may not delete or rename files of other users in that       directory even if he has write access to the directory.          The Unix "ls" command displays a set sticky bit as a "t" in       the permissions of a file or directory.          (1997-02-26)

stock-keeping unit          (SKU) /skyoo/ (rarely seen expanded) A common term       for a unique numeric identifier, typically in a {database}.       Originally this was used only for products, but has spread in       usage.          Compare with {UID} for sense development.          (1998-09-27)
