	WIMP (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		WIMP interaction was developed at Xerox PARC (see Xerox Alto, developed in 1973) and "popularized by the Macintosh in 1984" (van Dam, 1997).
		As a result, the acronym WIMP was sometimes used in a derogatory manner, especially by those who prefer more traditional command-line interfaces.
		Another possibility is to have the P in WIMP stand for Program, allowing it to be used as a noun (like the noun GUI, for graphical user interface) rather than as an adjective or qualifier.

	wimp
		wimp is a dominant maternal-effect mutation, allelic to mutations in the second largest (140 kD) subunit of RNA polymerase II, that interacts with a specific subset of early genes, including many segmentation genes such as the pair-rule gene hairy.
		Since wimp is a change-of-function mutation, it may reflect promoter-specific mechanisms of transcriptional activation, consistent with the proposal that different factors recognize different faces of the multi-subunit RNA polymerase.
		Importantly, wimp allows recovery of mutations in genes that are required both maternally and zygotically, a class of mutation that is lost in conventional screens because of recessive lethality.

		In human-computer interaction, WIMP stands for the "window, icon, menu, pointing device" paradigm that characterizes most commercial graphical user interfaces from 1984 to the present.
		In popular speech in North America the term "wimp" was commonly used to designate persons of no substance who were always afraid, or persons who had no backbone and were worthy of nothing but contempt.
		As a result of this, the term-acronym WIMP was often used to denigrate the graphical user interface.

	WIMPs.
		Collisions between WIMPs and target atoms are little different to billiard ball collisions: the WIMP changes direction, and slows down a little; the atom recoils.
		If WIMPs are the bulk of the galactic dark matter, about a million of them pass through every square centimetre every second, travelling at hundreds of kilometres per second.
		At this depth, collisions in the rock have stopped all but one in a million of the cosmic rays; meanwhile, of the thousand million WIMPs a second passing through you, only about three would collide in the rock on their way down - and they are only slowed down a little, not stopped.

		It will fall until the WIMP number density is so low that the WIMP mean free time for annihilation exceeds the age of the universe.
		The first proposed WIMP candidates were heavy fourth generation neutrinos [36,41].
		In much of the parameter space of the minimal supersymmetric model, this new stable particle (which we will refer to as the``neutralino'') has predicted properties such that it would comprise much of the density of the universe [25].

		Since "wimp" became popular around 1960, it has been considered synonymous with "drip," "weakling," "dork," "nerd" and "wuss." A standard part of college slang for years, "wimp" got a big boost in general usage thanks to a hilarious slip in The Boston Globe in 1980.
		One of the theories proposed for the origin of "wimp" is that it comes from the name of J. Wellington Wimpy, a.k.a.
		Bolstering this theory is the fact that when "wimp" first appeared in the 1920's in England, it was as college slang for a woman or girl, based on the idea that women are more likely to weep than men.

	Collar Group: WIMP Detectors
		Unfortunately, some of the most promising target liquids are too dense to permit a homogeneous dispersion in water-based gels, making their use in bubble detectors a rather complicated endeavor (saturation of the sol with density-matching salts introduces a number of problems).
		The purpose of this prototype and experiment (the Chicagoland Observatory for Underground Particle Physics, COUPP) is to study the ultimate limits to the stability of the superheated liquid in a deeper location, with much reduced neutron backgrounds.
		However a device of this mass can already be an extremely competitive WIMP detector, given the optimal choice of target nuclei and intrinsic insensitivity to most backgrounds (Figure 8).
