sex
/seks/ [Sun Users' Group & elsewhere] 1. Software EXchange. A
technique invented by the blue-green algae hundreds of
millions of years ago to speed up their evolution, which had
been terribly slow up until then. Today, SEX parties are
popular among hackers and others (of course, these are no
longer limited to exchanges of genetic software). In general,
SEX parties are a Good Thing, but unprotected SEX can
propagate a virus. See also pubic directory.
2. The mnemonic often used for Sign EXtend, a machine
instruction found in the PDP-11 and many other
architectures. The RCA 1802 chip used in the early Elf
and SuperElf personal computers had a "SEt X register" SEX
instruction, but this seems to have had little folkloric
impact.
DEC's engineers nearly got a PDP-11 assembler that used
the "SEX" mnemonic out the door at one time, but (for once)
marketing wasn't asleep and forced a change. That wasn't the
last time this happened, either. The author of "The Intel
8086 Primer", who was one of the original designers of the
Intel 8086, noted that there was originally a "SEX"
instruction on that processor, too. He says that Intel
management got cold feet and decreed that it be changed, and
thus the instruction was renamed "CBW" and "CWD" (depending on
what was being extended). The Intel 8048 (the
microcontroller used in IBM PC keyboards) is also missing
straight "SEX" but has logical-or and logical-and instructions
"ORL" and "ANL".
The Motorola 6809, used in the UK's "Dragon 32" personal
computer, actually had an official "SEX" instruction; the
6502 in the Apple II with which it competed did not.
British hackers thought this made perfect mythic sense; after
all, it was commonly observed, you could (on some theoretical
level) have sex with a dragon, but you can't have sex with an
apple.

Sign EXtend, a machine instruction found in the PDP-11 and many
other architectures. The RCA 1802 chip used in the early Elf and
SuperElf personal computers had a `SEt X register' SEX instruction,
but this seems to have had little folkloric impact. The Data
General instruction set also had `SEX'.
DEC's engineers nearly got a PDP-11 assembler that used the
`SEX' mnemonic out the door at one time, but (for once) marketing

Intel management got cold feet and decreed that it be changed, and
thus the instruction was renamed `CBW' and `CWD' (depending on what
was being extended). Amusingly, the Intel 8048 (the microcontroller
used in IBM PC keyboards) is also missing straight `SEX' but has
logical-or and logical-and instructions `ORL' and `ANL'.
The Motorola 6809, used in the Radio Shack Color Computer and in
U.K.'s `Dragon 32' personal computer, actually had an official `SEX'
