NOP /nop/ [no operation] n. 1. (also v.) A machine | instruction that does nothing (sometimes used in assembler-level | programming as filler for data or patch areas, or to overwrite code to | be removed in binaries). See also {JFCL}. 2. A person who contributes | nothing to a project, or has nothing going on upstairs, or both. As in | "He's a no-op." 3. Any operation or sequence of operations with no | effect, such as circling the block without finding a parking space, or | putting money into a vending machine and having it fall immediately into | the coin-return box, or asking someone for help and being told to go | away. "Oh, well, that was a no-op." Hot-and-sour soup (see {great-wall}) | that is insufficiently either is `no-op soup'; so is wonton soup if | everybody else is having hot-and-sour. -- Mark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBtLGy3x41pRYZE/gRApDuAJ9IUyW11YOguIrfHxzoJuSOF1cmiwCfQC0+ 8dvMP3tRdSJjHat11UDSnzY= =Ru5V -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
