FLAG

In the world of computers, a FLAG is a software or hardware mark that signals a particular condition or status.

A flag is like a switch that can be either on or off. The flag is said to be set when it is turned on.

Another use for the term FLAG is that of a special mark indicating that a piece of data is unusual. For example, a record might contain an error flag to indicate that the record consists of unusual, probably incorrect, data.

As a verb the term FLAG is used in the conventional sense -- to mark an object to indicate that a particular event has occurred or that the object marked is unusual is some way.

Q. "Here's one that'll stump you. What is the one place where the American flag flies 24 hours a day, is never raised or lowered and is never saluted?"

Until next week, this is your computer guy, changing the world one computer user at a time.

...only in America do we have a General in charge of the post office and a Secretary in charge of defense.

"The technology often is called peer-to-peer because it enables personal computers to directly connect with each other, bypassing the central computers that normally serve up Web pages."

Wearable Computers in Fashion
"The developers foresee the shirt being used by soldiers, athletes, astronauts, airline pilots and anyone whose vital statistics are of critical importance."

Display the flag only between sunrise and sunset on buildings and stationary flagstaffs.

Whether displaying the flag vertically or horizontally, make sure the canton of stars is visible on the upper left-hand side.

An unusable flag that is damaged and worn and can no longer be displayed should be destroyed in a dignified way by burning.

When not on display, the flag should be respectfully folded into a triangle, symbolizing the tricorn hats worn by colonial soldiers in the Revolutionary War.
