From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   volatile variable
  
      A variable in a computer program which can be
      modified by processes other than the program.   For example, a
      variable that stores the value of a timer chip (either because
      it is located at the address of the hardware device or because
      it is updated on {interrupt}s) needs to be volatile to be
      useful.
  
      A {static} variable, on the other hand, maintains its value
      until the program changes it or it is no longer needed.   In
      addition, volatile variables can be held in the {stack}
      whereas static variables are usually stored in a program's
      {data segment}.
