Terminology

Show all headers | View raw

When you paint a JPanel with a paintComponent what do you call the
area of RAM you paint on, the thing that the Graphics object points
to?  In AWT you might call it the canvas. In DOS days you would have
called it the REGEN.

It's difficult to be rigorous about whether a machine really knows,
thinks, etc., because we’re hard put to define these things. 
We understand human mental processes only slightly better than
a fish understands swimming. 
~ John McCarthy (born: 1927-09-04 died: 2011-10-23 at age: 84).
Inventor of the term AI (Artificial Intelligence), 
the short-circuit OR operator (|| in Java), 
and LISP (LIst Processing Language) that makes EMACS 
(Extensible MACro System) so addictive.
