n. The state in which the system is said to be when it rapidly alternates
|
|
several times between being up and being down. Interestingly (and perhaps
|
|
not by coincidence), many hardware vendors give out free yoyos at Usenix
|
|
exhibits. Sun Microsystems gave out logoized yoyos at SIGPLAN '88. Tourists
|
|
staying at one of Atlanta's most respectable hotels were subsequently
|
|
treated to the sight of 200 of the country's top computer scientists testing
|
