  • CAOS Linux

    CAOS Linux was an RPM-based Linux distribution. It aspired to be community maintained and managed. Infiscale described its GravityOS as "[including] the small footprint of Caos" indicating a certain level of influence from the discontinued distribution. The name is known to have been capitalized in various ways: cAos and CAos were used with earlier releases; CAOS and Caos were used on the web site's main pages.

    CAOS Linux combined aspects of Debian, Red Hat Linux/Fedora, and FreeBSD in a manner that aspired to be stable enough for servers and clusters, for a life cycle of 3 to 5 years. The CAOS Project was part of a larger organization (The CAOS Foundation) which was a team of open source developers working and using resources together.

    As of February 2015, the official website is not live any more, the domain name having been re-attributed. DistroWatch has been listing CAOS Linux as discontinued since at least November 2014.

  • Data segment

    In computing, a data segment (often denoted .data) is a portion of an object file or the corresponding virtual address space of a program that contains initialized static variables, that is, global variables and static local variables. The size of this segment is determined by the size of the values in the program's source code, and does not change at run time.

    The data segment is read-write, since the values of variables can be altered at run time. This is in contrast to the read-only data segment (rodata segment or .rodata), which contains static constants rather than variables; it also contrasts to the code segment, also known as the text segment, which is read-only on many architectures. Uninitialized data, both variables and constants, is instead in the BSS segment.

    Historically, to be able to support memory address spaces larger than the native size of the internal address register would allow, early CPUs implemented a system of segmentation whereby they would store a small set of indexes to use as offsets to certain areas. The Intel 8086 family of CPUs provided four segments: the code segment, the data segment, the stack segment and the extra segment. Each segment was placed at a specific location in memory by the software being executed and all instructions that operated on the data within those segments were performed relative to the start of that segment. This allowed a 16-bit address register, which would normally provide 64KiB (65536 bytes) of memory space, to access a 1MiB (1048576 bytes) address space.

    Data (word)

    The word data has generated considerable controversy on if it is a singular, uncountable noun, or should be treated as the plural of the now-rarely-used datum.

    Usage in English

    In one sense, data is the plural form of datum. Datum actually can also be a count noun with the plural datums (see usage in datum article) that can be used with cardinal numbers (e.g. "80 datums"); data (originally a Latin plural) is not used like a normal count noun with cardinal numbers and can be plural with such plural determiners as these and many or as a singular abstract mass noun with a verb in the singular form. Even when a very small quantity of data is referenced (one number, for example) the phrase piece of data is often used, as opposed to datum. The debate over appropriate usage continues, but "data" as a singular form is far more common.

    In English, the word datum is still used in the general sense of "an item given". In cartography, geography, nuclear magnetic resonance and technical drawing it is often used to refer to a single specific reference datum from which distances to all other data are measured. Any measurement or result is a datum, though data point is now far more common.

    Data (moth)

    Data is a genus of moths of the Noctuidae family.

    Kiss It Away

    by: Dr. Hook the Medicine Show

    (Johnny Wilson, Gene Dobbins, Wayne Sharpe)
    [Spoken]
    Well, I had two weeks vacation comin', so I thought I'd drive down to Florida: spend some time with an old friend, date a few girls, make a few parties, and just kinda live it up again.
    So I packed up my car, and then I called my Mom in Tennesee, and told her what I planned to do. She said, Son, are you comin' by? And I said, Mom, I'm really pushed for time, but I'll see you in a week or two.
    And I was drivin' through this little town in Georgia when I remembered: today's Mama's birthday. Well, I thought I'll just stop and wire some flowers. Shouldn't take too long; then I'll be on my way.
    So I walked in a flower shop and the first thing I saw was this little boy, with his eyes full a' tears. I said, What's wrong, son? He said, Mama loves roses. And today's her birthday, and I haven't seen her in almost a year.
    [Chorus]
    Roses for Mama
    Today's her birthday
    Roses for Mama
    Today's her birthday
    He said, I live with Grandma now. But I promised Mama some roses, 'cause I talk to her all the time. I wanted to give her five, 'cause that's how old I am. But the lady said I couldn't buy 'em with just a dime.
    Well, the little fella's story kind a' touched my heart, so I told the lady to give him what he wanted and charge it to me. Then I told her I needed to wire a dozen roses to my Mama, up in Chapel Hill, Tennessee.
    I looked around, and the little boy was gone. But all of a sudden the door flew open and he come runnin' back in and he said, Mister, I forgot to thank you for the roses. He smiled, he shook my hand, and ran back out again.
    Well, I started on out of town. And I was feelin' real proud of myself for thinkin' of my Mama and really carin', when I looked out the window and I saw that same little boy, kneelin', by a grave in an old cemetery.
    I stopped my car and walked over to where the little boy was kneelin' down. And he smiled up at me and said, This is where my Mama stays. She says she sure does thank you for these pretty roses. Well that's when I had to walk away.
    And I drove straight back to that flower shop and I said, Lady, have you sent those flowers to Tennessee? She said, No, not yet. I said, Well, nevermind. I'll just take them back with me.
    [Chorus]
    Roses for Mama
    Today's her birthday
    Roses for Mama
    Today's her birthday
