Dalvik is a discontinuedprocess virtual machine (VM) in Google's Android operating system that executes applications written for Android. Dalvik is an integral part of the Android software stack in Android versions 4.4 "KitKat" and earlier, which is typically used on mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers, and more recently on devices such as smart TVs and wearables. Dalvik is open-source software, originally written by Dan Bornstein, who named it after the fishing village of Dalvík in Eyjafjörður, Iceland.
Programs for Android are commonly written in Java and compiled to bytecode for the Java virtual machine, which is then translated to Dalvik bytecode and stored in .dex (Dalvik EXecutable) and .odex (Optimized Dalvik EXecutable) files; related terms odex and de-odex are associated with respective bytecode conversions. The compact Dalvik Executable format is designed for systems that are constrained in terms of memory and processor speed.
The successor of Dalvik is Android Runtime (ART), which uses the same bytecode and .dex files (but not .odex files), with the succession aiming at performance improvements transparent to the end users. The new runtime environment was included for the first time in Android 4.4 "KitKat" as a technology preview, and replaced Dalvik entirely in later versions; Android 5.0 "Lollipop" is the first version in which ART is the only included runtime.
DEX (data exchange) is a format for collecting audit and event data from vending machines.
DEX was introduced in the late 1980s by bottlers who provided product to vending machines. It was intended to improve auditing of vending machines, simplify inventory management. DEX records cash in/out, product movement and other audit data. The format was adopted as a standard by the National Automatic Merchandising Association Technology Committee after it was already in use by bottlers. It was included in NAMA VDI version 1.0, announced in 2009.
Bits is a British entertainment television series that aired on Channel 4 from 1999 to 2001, with both late night and edited morning versions of the show.
Five series were produced and uniquely at the time for a show about computer games, had an all female presentation team.
There were also a number of special episodes, notably a three parter in early 2000 titled the Bits 'Super Console Tour' which primarily featured the girls challenging various "pro" gamers in 1v1 battles around the UK in each episode (London, Blackpool, and one other location), as well as their usual sketches and short reviews/newsclips. The games chosen were usually new releases on various consoles, one of which was FantaVision on the newly launched Playstation 2, at which Emily Booth was defeated by Alek Hayes, who was employed at the time at BarrysWorld.
Bits is the fourth and final album by Oxford Collapse. Two singles were released from the album, "The Birthday Wars" and "Young Love Delivers".

In computer architecture, 32-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are at most 32 bits (4 octets) wide. Also, 32-bit CPU and ALU architectures are those that are based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size. 32-bit is also a term given to a generation of microcomputers in which 32-bit microprocessors are the norm.
A 32-bit register can store 232 different values. The range of integer values that can be stored in 32 bits depends on the integer representation used. With the two most common representations, the range is 0 through 4,294,967,295 (232 - 1) for representation as an (unsigned) binary number, and -2,147,483,648 (-231) through 2,147,483,647 (231 - 1) for representation as Two's complement.
One important consequence is that a processor with 32-bit memory addresses can directly access at most 4 GiB of byte-addressable memory (though in practice the limit may be lower).
Next is the fifth studio album by alternative metal band Sevendust, released on October 11, 2005, a little over two years after their previous album, Seasons.
Pieces (known in Japan as Jigsaw Party (ジグソーパ〜ティ〜)) is a 1994 puzzle game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System published by Atlus. In the game, the player has to solve jigsaw puzzles.
The player can either face a computer, or up to five human players. The computer players come at three levels (easy, normal, or hard) and feature a wide array of opponents, such as a crab made out of a rice bowl and a beautiful, laughing mermaid. A few puzzles must be solved before the opponent solves his or her puzzles. If the player is quick enough, items will appear. These can do anything from guiding the puzzle pieces to freezing the opponent.
GamePro judged the game "an interesting variation on the standard puzzler theme." They praised the solid challenge, easy controls (particularly with the use of the SNES mouse), and the variety of puzzles.Electronic Gaming Monthly similarly described Pieces as "unique" with solid challenge, but singled out the two-player "Versus Mode" as the game's strongest feature. They scored it an 8.2 out of 10 and later ranked it number 14 on their top 50 games from the past year.
I got that super tie fragility...
The kind that makes you lick your lips
Wish you could get closer tonight
Imagine... hear the dance lose control
And I might take you home tonight
If you are lucky... roll the deice
You are hot cool my type
Two shots and I will take you on
What you say your name was
Tonight tonight I am gonna do something I am gonna regret
Tonight I am gonna do something I likely forget
... crushing my head see all comes back
Bits and pieces Bits and pieces
Bits and pieces Bits and pieces
Bits and pieces Bits and pieces
Bits and pieces Bits and pieces
Bits and pieces Bits and pieces
Might do that... might do that what that will mean
Till it all comes flashing back
Bits and pieces
I am gonna act a fool break the rules
Get into trouble start a few fights... see double
Gonna pick that time and shut it down
Hurry up and lose control
Tonight tonight I am gonna do something I am gonna regret
Tonight I am gonna do something I likely forget
... crushing my head see all comes back
Bits and pieces Bits and pieces
Bits and pieces Bits and pieces
Bits and pieces Bits and pieces
Bits and pieces Bits and pieces
Bits and pieces Bits and pieces
Where did I go after I left the club
How did I get on might still be on
I am in bed I don't know
This stranger on my phone
Bits and pieces Bits and pieces
She said let's get back to bed...
Tonight tonight I am gonna do something I am gonna regret
Tonight I am gonna do something I likely forget
... crushing my head see all comes back
Bits and pieces Bits and pieces
