Hmmm.... When you enter 'Dump Definition' in Google this odd reference now appears.
Computing copy (stored data) to a different location, especially so as to protect against loss.
That's a surprise... I've always equated the dumping of data from a computer to mean that you are deleting the data... Not saving it. For instance, I dumped (or i.e. deleted) a bunch of emails from my computer today. When they said Google was on Hillary's side they apparently weren't kidding... They managed to put this new definition for the word dump on there just in time.
Here we go again with the clinton definition of a word. Sure......they where going to dump classified info to the public. Yeaaah riiiiiiight.
Dump! You mean like going to the landfill?
Computer backups used to be called ‘Dumps’. I think it was even a Unix command.
First it was “is”...
then something else
now “dump” has a new meaning....
Wonder if jail and incarcerate will be redefined?
Can’t wait until the next wiki leaks clarifies what he really meant by dump.
I guess that sort of like the new definition of, “Take a s—t!”
It now means, “Pick the Democrat candidate.”
screen dump. noun. 1. the act or process of printing or saving the graphical or textual data displayed on a computer screen.
-PJ
Now they’re saying “dump” the emails meant “make them public”. Yeah, right.
I don’t believe Podesta mentioned doing a ‘screen’ dump... He just said dump.... As in dumpster.
Not a new definition. I’ve used the word “dump” to denote moving data from an active directory to a storage type of medium for many years. When I delete data, I say I “delete” it because that’s irreversible.
If I ‘take a dump’ am I saving it or protecting it?...................
This is unFREAKINbelieveable.
I would pay to know if that definition even EXISTED on Google at 6 am.
Apparently Ed Henry at Fox is parroting this new definition too...
Of course. Dump, immortalize. Same thing. Kind of. Good grief Americans. You buy this cr@p?
Does ‘Take a Dump’ mean make it public?...............
Well dump here could have several meanings. First off, it could be a noun or a verb. As in “memory dump”, or “dump the files.” The question is the destination—public view or never-never land.
It’s arguably ambiguous, except for one thing. A couple of days later, the Colorado IT people actively looked for ways to change headers and shortly thereafter to cleanse the server. So, looking at it circumstantially, he was almost certainly using “dump” in the sense of “get rid of, flush” rather than “reveal to the public.”
Think of “core dump”.
In the legal world, when we were doing due diligence reviews for mergers or underwritings we would call it a document dump - meaning dump all the documents on the other side so they had to go through them all to find what they were looking for.
That would be an believable explanation ... if they actually did that ...
We know they didn't ... they destroyed them.
Still waiting for ANY email discussing Hillary's yoga routines ...
