and harmlessly if free and open, and in small quantity.
Specifically, the lower nitrates of cellulose which are
insoluble in ether and alcohol in distinction from the
highest (pyroxylin) which is soluble. See Pyroxylin, and
cf. Xyloidin. The gun cottons are used for blasting and
somewhat in gunnery: for making celluloid when compounded
with camphor; and the soluble variety (pyroxylin) for
making collodion. See Celluloid, and Collodion. Gun
cotton is frequenty but improperly called
nitrocellulose. It is not a nitro compound, but an ester
of nitric acid.

mounted on a carriage or other holder, and having a
reservoir containing cartridges which are loaded into the
gun or guns and fired in rapid succession. In earlier
models, such as the Gatling gun, the cartridges were
loaded by machinery operated by turning a crank. In modern
versions the loading of cartidges is accomplished by
levers operated by the recoil of the explosion driving the
bullet, or by the pressure of gas within the barrel.
Several hundred shots can be fired in a minute by such
weapons, with accurate aim. The Gatling gun, {Gardner
gun}, Hotchkiss gun, and Nordenfelt gun, named for
their inventors, and the French mitrailleuse, are
machine guns.

downloading
(foldoc) | download
downloading
To transfer data from one computer to another.
Downloading usually refers to transfer from a larger "host"
system (especially a server or mainframe) to a smaller
"client" system, especially a microcomputer or specialised
peripheral, and "upload" usually means from small to large.
Others hold that, technically, download means "receive" and
upload means "send", irrespective of the size of the systems
involved.
Note that in communications between ground and space,
space-to-earth transmission is always "down" and the reverse
"up", regardless of size. So far the in-space machines have
invariably been smaller; thus the upload/download distinction
has been reversed from its usual sense.

operator overloading
(foldoc) | overloading
ad-hoc polymorphism
operator overloading
(Or "Operator overloading"). Use of a single
symbol to represent operators with different argument types,
e.g. "-", used either, as a monadic operator to negate an
expression, or as a dyadic operator to return the difference
between two expressions. Another example is "+" used to add
either integers or floating-point numbers. Overloading is
also known as ad-hoc polymorphism.
User-defined operator overloading is provided by several
modern programming languages, e.g. C++'s class system and
the functional programming language Haskell's {type
class}es.
Ad-hoc polymorphism (better described as overloading) is the
ability to use the same syntax for objects of different types,
e.g. "+" for addition of reals and integers or "-" for unary
negation or diadic subtraction. Parametric polymorphism
allows the same object code for a function to handle arguments
of many types but overloading only reuses syntax and requires
different code to handle different types.
