	Flag (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flags are typically found as members of a defined data structure, such as a database record, and the meaning of the value contained in a flag will generally be defined in relation to the data structure it is part of.
		Microprocessors typically have, for example, a status register that is composed of such flags, and the flags are used to indicate various post-operation conditions, such as when there has been an arithmetic overflow.
		It has been suggested that the term was derived from the small flags on the mailboxes used for delivery of letters and small shipments in rural and suburban areas of the USA, which are customarily raised by the postman as an indication that new mail is in.

		In computing, an indicator that can be set or unset in order to signal whether a particular condition is true – for example, whether the end of a file has been reached, or whether an overflow error has occurred.
		The indicator usually takes the form of a single binary digit, or bit (either 0 or 1).

	W. McCarty, Humanities computing as interdiscipline
		By nature humanities computing communicates among the disciplines; by nature it challenges issues of ownership, which is to say, reveals that many are held in common and there is much to be gained from sharing them.
		Computer science is a special case that is curently under discussion at least in the United States.
		The area of cyberculture is often pursued by those with too little knowledge of computing, but it does suggest a host of research questions concerning the computer as a cultural object, the history of computing technology (or, more broadly, automata as a whole) and the sociology of knowledge as it is affected by computing.

		For this you have been a set of two flags: a red flag and a green flag, which are inserted into a single flagpole.
		This we could signify that the flag on the left-hand side is more significant than the flag at the right-hand side, as this flag represents that there is an aggressive army approaching.
		If he changed the most-significant flag first, he would signal that there was an approaching friendly army, and the city would get a greeting parade ready, only then to be told that there was a large aggressive army approaching.

		Yesterday the House voted for adoption of an amendment to the Constitution that would outlaw flag desecration, “flag burning” being the words that are customarily used by the proponents of the amendment to fire up emotions and garner support.
		The act of flag burning (the kind that makes everyone angry, as opposed to, say, the ceremonial retirement, by burning, of worn flags conducted by veterans' and fraternal organizations) is obviously conduct, but there can be no doubt that it is conduct intended to communicate a message.
		Flag burning is a political statement, and should be allowed in the 'land of the free'.

		For instance, there is a zero flag (which is set to true if the last calculation produced a zero), a carry flag (true if the last calculation produced a carry out i.e.
		If the X register now contains 0, then the carry flag is set (to indicate that there was an overflow) and the zero flag is set (to indicate that the result of the calculation was 0).
		Now the computer adds the number 40 in the memory buffer register with the number in the accumulator.

		A green flag could represent that there were no armies approaching, and a red flag would represent that there was an army advancing on the city.
		It can be seen that the flag on the left-hand side is more significant that the flag at the right-hand side, as this flag represents that there is an aggressive army approaching.
		This flag would be seen as the most-significant flag.

	Computer engineering - All About All
		A little-known subdivision is the study of computer engineering technology, which studies the techniques and applications of computer engineering with less emphasis on the mathematical and scientific theory.
		From a computer science perspective, a computer engineer is a software architect with a focus on the interaction between software programs and the underlying hardware architecture.
		Since computer engineers are mainly focused on electronics and computers, their courseloads tend to involve fewer courses on natural sciences such as statics or dynamics (mechanics) than traditional engineering programs.

		Taiwan happens to be a fully democratic nation, in sharp contrast to the Communist regime in China or the one-party rule of Singapore.
		Economic relations between Taiwan and the mainland are closer than ever before, and Taiwan's computing industry is playing a major role in that integration.

	The computing process
		The first flag indicates whether the data are valid to read and the second flag indicates whether the data can be overwritten.
		When the process running on the compute node needs to read or write from its own shared space, it tests the flags without acquiring the lock; as a result it tests its own presumably cached copy of the flag.
		When the compute process needs to issue a remote read or remote write request it places its request in a fifo queue in shared memory.

	Roemerman on Record: Broadcast flag killed…for now
		This trend of forceful Digital Rights Management is concerning because it shifts the balance of power away from the consumer and toward media and content providers who are not interested in “Fair use.” Tyrannical computing is a good example of this shift in power away from the consumer.
		It appears that the court ruled that the FCC did not have the power to implement this flag, not that it is inherently unconstitutional or a validation of consumer rights.
		The proponents of this broadcast flag are expected to lobby lawmakers, in attempts to legislate this broadcast flag into being.

	Diagnosing Java Code: The Null Flag bug pattern
		As you might have guessed, I call this pattern the Null Flag bug pattern because it is caused by inconsistently using null pointers as flags for exceptional conditions.
		Despite their common occurrence, the use of null flags is very often unwarranted (as in the case above).
		The use of null flags, on the other hand, limits control flow to the ordinary paths of method invocation and return (until the whole program crashes, of course).

		Changing hardware design isn't inherently suspicious, but the leading trusted computing proposals have a high cost: they provide security to users while giving third parties the power to enforce policies on users' computers against the users' wishes -- they let others pressure you to hand some control over your PC to someone else.
