BLOB
|
|
|
|
Used by database people to refer to any random large block of bits that
|
|
needs to be stored in a database, such as a picture or sound file. The
|
|
essential point about a BLOB is that it's an object that cannot be
|
|
interpreted within the database itself. 2. v. To mailbomb someone by sending
|
|
a BLOB to him/her; esp. used as a mild threat. If that program crashes
|
|
again, I'm going to BLOB the core dump to you. 3. Derogatory term applied
|
|
to proprietary software, "binary blob", as in "this kernel contains blobs!" |
