The American                yellow-billed cuckoo ({Coccyzus Americanus}) and the                black-billed cuckoo ({C. erythrophthalmus}) build their                own nests.          {Cuckoo bee} (Zool.), a bee, parasitic in the larval stage in             the nests of other bees, feeding either upon their food or             larvae. They belong to the genera {Nomada}, {Melecta},             {Epeolus}, and others.          {Cuckoo clock}, a clock so constructed that at the time for             striking it gives forth sounds resembling the cry of the             cuckoo.          {Cuckoo dove} (Zo[94]l.), a long-tailed pigeon of the genus             {Macropygia}. Many species inhabit the East Indies.          {Cuckoo fish} (Zo[94]l.), the European red gurnard ({Trigla             cuculus}). The name probably alludes to the sound that it             utters.          {Cuckoo falcon} (Zo[94]l.), any falcon of the genus {Baza}.             The genus inhabits Africa and the East Indies.          {Cuckoo maid} (Zo[94]l.), the wryneck; -- called also {cuckoo             mate}.          {Cuckoo ray} (Zo[94]l.), a British ray ({Raia miraletus}).          {Cuckoo spit}, [or] {Cuckoo spittle}.       (a) A frothy secretion found upon plants, exuded by the             larvae of certain insects, for concealment; -- called             also {toad spittle} and {frog spit}.       (b) (Zo[94]l.) A small hemipterous insect, the larva of             which, living on grass and the leaves of plants, exudes             this secretion. The insects belong to {Aphrophora},             {Helochara}, and allied genera.          {Ground cuckoo}, the chaparral cock.

cycle crunch n.,obs.   A situation wherein the number of people    trying to use a computer simultaneously has reached the point where    no one can get enough cycles because they are spread too thin and    the system has probably begun to {thrash}.   This scenario is an    inevitable result of Parkinson's Law applied to timesharing.    Usually the only solution is to buy more computer.   Happily, this    has rapidly become easier since the mid-1980s, so much so that the    very term `cycle crunch' now has a faintly archaic flavor; most    hackers now use workstations or personal computers as opposed to    traditional timesharing systems, and are far more likely to complain    of `bandwidth crunch' on their shared networks rather than cycle    crunch.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
cyclic redundancy check          (CRC or "cyclic redundancy code") A number derived       from, and stored or transmitted with, a block of data in order       to detect corruption.   By recalculating the CRC and comparing       it to the value originally transmitted, the receiver can       detect some types of transmission errors.          A CRC is more complicated than a {checksum}.   It is calculated       using division either using {shifts} and {exclusive ORs} or       {table lookup} ({modulo} 256 or 65536).          The CRC is "redundant" in that it adds no information.   A       single corrupted {bit} in the data will result in a one bit       change in the calculated CRC but multiple corrupted bits may       cancel each other out.          CRCs treat blocks of input bits as coefficient-sets for       {polynomials}.   E.g., binary 10100000 implies the polynomial:       1*x^7 + 0*x^6 + 1*x^5 + 0*x^4 + 0*x^3 + 0*x^2 + 0*x^1 + 0*x^0.       This is the "message polynomial".   A second polynomial, with       constant coefficients, is called the "generator polynomial".       This is divided into the message polynomial, giving a quotient       and remainder.   The coefficients of the remainder form the       bits of the final CRC.   So, an order-33 generator polynomial       is necessary to generate a 32-bit CRC.   The exact bit-set used       for the generator polynomial will naturally affect the CRC       that is computed.          Most CRC implementations seem to operate 8 bits at a time by       building a table of 256 entries, representing all 256 possible       8-bit byte combinations, and determining the effect that each       byte will have.   CRCs are then computed using an input byte to       select a 16- or 32-bit value from the table.   This value is       then used to update the CRC.          {Ethernet} {packets} have a 32-bit CRC.   Many disk formats       include a CRC at some level.          (1997-08-02)
