Literature | Boots Seven-leagued boots. The boots worn by the giant in the fairy tale, called The Seven-leagued Boots. These boots would stride over seven leagues at a pace. I measure five feet ten inches without my boots. The allusion is to the chopine or high-heeled boot, worn at one time to increase the stature. Hamlet says of the lady actress, "You are nearer heaven than when I saw you last, by the altitude of a chopine." (ii. 2.) Boots (an instrument of torture). They were made of four pieces of narrow board nailed together, of a competent length to fit the leg. The leg being placed therein, wedges were inserted till the sufferer confessed or fainted. "All your empirics could never do the like cure upon the gout as the rack in England or your Scotch boots."- Marston: The Malcontent. Boots The youngest bishop of the House of Lords, whose duty it is to read prayers; so called because he walks into the house in a dead man's shoes or boots, i.e. he was not in the house till some bishop there died, and left a vacancy. Boots To go to bed in his boots. To be very tipsy. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
Slang in 1811 | BOOTS. The youngest officer in a regimental mess, whose duty it is to skink, that is, to stir the fire, snuff the candles, and ring the bell. See SKINK.--To ride in any one's old boots; to marry or keep his cast-off mistress. Source: 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In computing, booting is a bootstrapping process that starts operating systems when the user turns on a computer system.
Most computer systems can only execute code found in the memory (ROM or RAM); modern operating systems are mostly stored on hard disk drives. Just after a computer has been turned on, it doesn't have an operating system in memory. The computer's hardware alone cannot perform complicated actions of the operating system, such as loading a program from disk on its own; so a seemingly irresolvable paradox is created: to load the operating system into memory, one appears to need to have an operating system already installed.
The solution to the paradox involves using a special small program, called a bootstrap loader or boot loader. This program doesn't have the full functionality of an operating system, but is tailor-made specifically so that it is capable of loading enough other software for the operating system to start. Often, multiple-stage boot loaders are used, in which several small programs summon each other, until the last of them loads the operating system. The name bootstrap loader comes from the image of one pulling themselves up by one's bootstraps (see boot).
Early programmable computers had toggle switches on the front panel to allow the operator to place the bootloader into the program store before starting the CPU. This would then read the operating system in from an outside storage medium such as paper tape.
Pseudo-assembly code for the bootloader might be as simple as the following eight instructions:
0: set the P register to 8 1: check paper tape reader ready 2: if not ready, jump to 1 3: read a byte from paper tape reader to accumulator 4: if end of tape, jump to 8 5: store accumulator to address in P register 6: increment the P register 7: jump to 1In modern computers the bootstrapping process begins with the CPU executing software contained in ROM at a predefined address (the CPU is programmed to execute this software after reset without outside help). This software contains rudimentary functionality to search for devices eligible to participate in booting, and load a small program from a special section of the most promising device. The small program is most often not itself an operating system, but only a second-stage boot loader, such as Lilo or Grub. It will then be able to load the operating system proper, and finally transfer execution to it. The system will initialize itself, and may load device drivers and other programs that are needed for the normal operation of the OS.
The boot process is considered complete when the computer is ready to answer queries from the outside. Typical modern PCs boot in about a minute (of which about 15 seconds are taken by the preliminary boot loaders, and the rest - by the one loading the operating system), while large servers may take several minutes to boot and to start all services; to ensure high availability, they bring up some services before others.
Most embedded systems must boot almost instantly -- for instance, waiting a minute for the television to come up is not acceptable. Therefore they have their whole operating system in ROM or flash memory, so it can be executed directly.
In computing, a boot sequence is the operations the computer performs when it is switched on, which load an operating system.
Boot sequence on standard PC (IBM-PC compatible)
Upon starting, a personal computer's CPU runs the instruction located at the memory register FFFF0h of the BIOS. This memory register location is at the end of system memory. It contains a jump instruction that moves execution to the location of the BIOS start-up program. This program runs a Power-On Self Test (POST) and initializes devices. Then, the BIOS goes through a preconfigured list of devices until it finds one that is bootable. If it finds no such device, an error is given and the boot process stops. If the BIOS finds a bootable device, it loads and executes its master boot record (MBR). In most cases, the MBR checks the partition table for an active partition. If one is found, the MBR loads the partition's boot sector and runs it. This boot sector is operating system specific, however in most operating systems its main function is to load and execute a kernel, which continues startup.
Some other procesor have another kind of boot modes, most DSP include :
- Serial mode boot
- Parallel mode boot
- HPI boot
- Warm boot / Soft boot (as opposed to hard reboot) refer to an abridged start up routine which does not require that power be removed then reapplied.
Windows boot loader
In Windows XP the initializing file includes :
- [boot loader]
- timeout = 30
- default = multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\\WINDOWS
- [operating systems]
- multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\\WINDOWS = "Microsoft Windows XP Home or Professional" /fastdetect

Boots is the dominant British pharmacist chain, with outlets in most high streets throughout the country. In recent years they have diversified greatly from the traditional pharmacy, and offer one-hour photo-processing, and are opticians, as well as selling some home appliances in certain stores.
A branch of Boots in South London
Larger version
Boots were founded in Nottingham by John Boot in 1849. Their current logo is based on a design made by his son Jesse Boot in the 1870s. The chain was established during that time, and for the first time they became official dispensing chemists, stocking prescription medicines. By the onset of the First World War there were over five hundred Boots.
Boots have also diversified into research and manufacturing drugs also. They discovered ibuprofen, a painkiller.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | SYCOPHANT, n. One who approaches Greatness on his belly so that he may not be commanded to turn and be kicked. He is sometimes an editor. As the lean leech, its victim found, is pleased To fix itself upon a part diseased Till, its black hide distended with bad blood, It drops to die of surfeit in the mud, So the base sycophant with joy descries His neighbor's weak spot and his mouth applies, Gorges and prospers like the leech, although, Unlike that reptile, he will not let go. Gelasma, if it paid you to devote Your talent to the service of a goat, Showing by forceful logic that its beard Is more than Aaron's fit to be revered; If to the task of honoring its smell Profit had prompted you, and love as well, The world would benefit at last by you And wealthy malefactors weep anew -- Your favor for a moment's space denied And to the nobler object turned aside. Is't not enough that thrifty millionaires Who loot in freight and spoliate in fares, Or, cursed with consciences that bid them fly To safer villainies of darker dye, Forswearing robbery and fain, instead, To steal (they call it "cornering") our bread May see you groveling their boots to lick And begging for the favor of a kick? Still must you follow to the bitter end Your sycophantic disposition's trend, And in your eagerness to please the rich Hunt hungry sinners to their final ditch? In Morgan's praise you smite the sounding wire, And sing hosannas to great Havemeyher! What's Satan done that him you should eschew? He too is reeking rich -- deducting you. |
