  Clone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a word, clone was first coined by J.B.S. Haldane as subject for theoretical replication of a frog, though the term clone is derived from κλων, the Greek word for "twig".
In computer science, a clone is a computer system based on another company's system and designed to be compatible with it.
A clone is also a butch or masculine gay man, though the term is mostly associated with the 70s and 80s.

 Clone [Definition]
A clone in the biological sense, therefore, is a multi-cellular organism that is genetically identical to another living organism.
Sometimes this can refer to "natural" clones made either when an organism reproduces asexually or when two genetically identical individuals are produced by accident (as with identical twins), but in common parlance the clone is an identical copy by some conscious design.
In computer science Computer science (informally, CS or compsci) is, in its most general sense, the study of computation and information processing, both in hardware and in software....

 Clone (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A clone is a computer system (both hardware and software) based on another company's system and designed to be compatible with it.
The term " PC clone " fell out of use in the 1990s ; the class of machines it now describes are simply called PCs or Intel machines (or even Wintel machines).
Software can also be cloned by reverse engineering or legal reimplementation from documentation or other sources.

 Clone
Also spelt clon, a clone can be defined as an individual organism that was grown from a single body cell of its parent by asexual methods and that is genetically identical to it.
Cloning is fundamental to most living things, since the body cells of plants and animals are clones ultimately derived from the mitosis of a single fertilized egg.
Clones are also highly useful in biological research because of their genetic uniformity.

During his time there in the 1960s, Bushnell was one of many computer science students that played the now famous Spacewar game on DEC mainframe computers.
In 1971, Bushnell and colleague Ted Dabney created the Spacewar clone "Computer Space" in a self-contained cabinet; it was manufactured and distributed by Nutting Associates.
Computer Space proved to be too far ahead of its time and was a commercial failure.

Computer science is very much like a shared language binding the community together.
Of course, there's a lot more to software than computer science, much of which is in the exciting area of cyberbitchology, the study of why computers are such a pain to work with.
Academic computer science barely (if at all) recognizes the existence of cyberbitchology, but there are a number of free software projects dedicated to improving things, including RPM and the autoconf suite.

An advantage of a multi-threaded program is that it can operate faster on computer systems that have multiple CPUs, or across a cluster of machines.
The disadvantage to preemptive multithreading is that the system may make a context switch at an inappropriate time, causing priority inversion or other bad effects which may be avoided by cooperative multithreading.
Traditional mainstream computing hardware did not have much support for multithreading as switching between threads was generally already quicker than full process context switches.
