`KB. Double-density disks use modified frequency modu-
`lation encoding for storing data. See also floppy disk,
`microfloppy disk, modified frequency modulation
`encoding. Compare high-density disk.
`
`double-dereference vb. To dereference a pointer that is
`pointed to by another pointer; in other words, to access the
`information pointed to by a handle. See also dereference,
`handle (definition |), pointer (definition 1).
`
`double leap year n. The mistaken idea that the year 2000
`would have two leap days—February 29 and February
`4)—instead of one. In actuality, there was a potential leap
`year problem in 2000, but it was based on three rules for
`calculating leap years: (1) A year is a leap year if it is
`divisible by 4, but (2) not if itis divisible by 100, unless (3)
`it is also divisible by 400. Thus, 1900 was not a leap year,
`but 2000 is, although systems based on incorrect algo-
`rithms may not recognize it as a leap year and so may have
`difficulties functioning correctly after February 28, 2000.
`
`double posting nv. In newsgroup discussions, the practice
`of replying to one’s own posts. Because it may be seen as
`the digital equivalentto talking to one’s self, double post-
`ing is considered an undesirable practice.
`
`double-precision adj. Of, pertaining to, or characteristic
`of a number stored in twice the amount (two words—typi-
`cally 8 bytes) of computer memory that is required for
`storing a less precise (single-precision) number. Double-
`precision numbers are commonly handled by a computer
`in floating-point form. See alse floating-point number.
`Compare single-precision.
`
`double-sided disk ». A floppydisk that can hold data on
`both its top and bottom surfaces.
`
`double slash nm. See J,
`
`double-strike mn. On an impact printer, such as a daisy-
`wheel printer, the process of printing twice over a word, pro-
`ducing textthat appears darker and heavier, or bolder, than it
`normally appears. On dot-matrix printers, double striking
`with a slight offset can be used to fillin the space between
`the dots, producing smoother and darker characters.
`
`double supertwist nematic display a. See supertwist
`display.
`
`double word mn. A unit of data consisting of two contigu-
`ous words (connected bytes, not text) that are handled
`together by a computer's microprocessor.
`
`ing discrete segments of information} in which each node
`refers to both the next mode and the preceding mode.
`Because of these two-way references, a doublylinkedlist
`can be traversed both forward and backward. rather than in
`a forward direction only, as with a singly linked list.
`
`down adj. Not functioning, in reference to computers,
`Plinters, communications lines on networks, amd other
`such hardware.
`
`downflow n. One of the four stages of the data warehous-
`ing process, during which stored information is delivered
`and archived. Sze alse data warehouse*. Compare inflow,
`metaflow, uptlow.

`a file from a remote computer to the requesting computer
`by means of a modemor network. 2. To send a block of
`data, such as a PostScript file, to a dependent device, such
`as a PostScript printer. Compare upload.
`
`downloadable font nm. A set of characters stored on disk
`and sent (downloaded) to a printer's memory when needed
`for printing a document. Downloadable fonts are most
`commonly used with laser printers and other pageprinters,
`although many dot-matrix printers can accept some of
`them. Alse called: soft font.
`
`Downloadable Sounds vn. A standard for synthesizing
`wave sounds from digital samples stored in software. The
`DLS level | and level 2 standards are published bythe
`MIDI Manufacturers Association. Acronym: DLS.
`
`downsample n. To decrease the number of audio samples
`or pixels, by applying an operation such as averaging.
`Popular internet music formats, such as MP3, use down-
`sampling to reduce file size.
`
`downsizing vn. In computing, the practice of moving from
`larger computer systems, such as mainframes and mini-
`computers, to smaller systems in an organization, gener-
`ally to save costs and to update to newer software. The
`smaller systems are usually client/server systems com-
`posed of a combination of PCs, workstations, and some
`legacy system such as a mainframe, connected im one or
`more local area networks or wide area networks. See also
`client/server architecture, legacy system.
`
`downstream an. Thedirection in which information,
`such as a news feed for a newsgroup or data from an http
