bit decay
A hypothetical disease the existence of which has
been deduced from the observation that unused programs or
features will often stop working after sufficient time has
passed, even if "nothing has changed". The theory explains
that bits decay as if they were radioactive. As time passes,
the contents of a file or the code in a program will become
increasingly garbled.
People with a physics background tend to prefer the variant
"bit decay" for the analogy with particle decay.
There actually are physical processes that produce such
effects (alpha particles generated by trace radionuclides in
ceramic chip packages, for example, can change the contents of
a computer memory unpredictably, and various kinds of subtle
media failures can corrupt files in mass storage), but they
are quite rare (and computers are built with error detection
circuitry to compensate for them). The notion long favoured
among hackers that cosmic rays are among the causes of such
events turns out to be a myth.
Bit rot is the notional cause of software rot.

CHARTA DE UNA PARTE
(bouvier) | CHARTA DE UNA PARTE. A deed of one part; a deed poll.
2. Formerly, this phrase was used to distinguish, a deed poll, which is
an agreement made by one party only, that is, only one of the parties does
any act which is binding upon him, from a deed inter partes. Co. Litt. 229.
Vide Deed poll; Indenture; Inter partes.
|
DE UNA PARTE
(bouvier) | DE UNA PARTE. A deed de una parte, is one where only one party grants,
gives, or binds himself to do.a thing to another. It differs from a deed
inter partes. (q.v.) 2 Bouv. Inst. n. 2001.

ECLAMPSIA PARTURIENTIUM
(bouvier) | ECLAMPSIA PARTURIENTIUM, med. jur. The name of a disease accompanied by
apoplectic convulsions, and which produces aberration of mind at childbirth.
The word Eclampsia is of Greek origin - Significat splenaorem fulgorem
effulgentiam, et emicationem quales ex oculis aliquando prodeunt.
Metaphorice sumitur de emicatione flammae vitalis in pubertate et aetaeis
vigore. Castelli, Lex. Medic.
2. An ordinary person, it is said, would scarcely observe it, and it
requires the practised and skilled eye of a physician to discover that the
patient is acting in total unconsciousness of the nature and effect of her
acts. There can be but little doubt that many of the tragical cases of
infanticide proceed from this cause. The criminal judge and lawyer cannot
inquire with too much care into the symptoms of this disease, in order to
discover the guilt of the mother, where it exists, and to ascertain her
innocence, where it does not. See two well reported cases of this kind in
the Boston Medical Journal, vol. 27, No. 10, p. 161.
