[ techspeak; from ‘ by one' s bootstraps’] To load and initialize the operating system on a machine. This usage is no longer jargon ( having passed into techspeak) but has given rise to some derivatives that are still jargon. The derivative reboot implies that the machine hasn' t been down for long, or that the boot is a bounce ( sense 4) intended to clear some state of wedgitude. This is sometimes used of human thought processes, as in the following exchange: “ You' ve lost me.” “ OK, reboot. Here' s the theory....” This term is also found in the variants cold boot ( from power- off condition) and warm boot ( with the CPU and all devices already powered up, as after a hardware reset or software crash). Another variant: soft boot, reinitialization of only part of a system, under control of other software still running: “ If you' re running the mess- dos emulator, control- alt- insert will cause a soft- boot of the emulator, while leaving the rest of the system running.” Opposed to this there is hard boot, which connotes hostility towards or frustration with the machine being booted: “ I' ll have to hard- boot this losing Sun.” “ I recommend booting it hard.” One often hard- boots by performing a power cycle. |
