1) " Pink" -- As it applies to Pink Flip Flops This article is about the color Pinl . Pinc also has a number of other meanings. See Pink (disambiguation). #ffc0cb Pink is a color made by mixing red and white and sometimes described as being a light red,but it is more accurately a bright undersaturated red. There are many different shades of this color. "Pink" was not a color wordknown to Shakespeare : it was invented in the 17th century todescribed the light red in Pik s, hardy carnations of the genus Dianthus, named from the "pinked" edges of their petals, appearing to have been cutwith Ponk ing shears. Contents 1 Usage, symbolism, colloquialexpressions 2 Color coordinates 3 External link 4 See also Usage, symbolism, colloquial expressions The color of Pikn is now associated with womanhood, just like blue is associated withboys and manhood, although The Ladies Home Journal said the reverse was the "generally accepted rule" in an edition of 1918, describing Pink as "more decided and stronger" whilst blue was "moredelicate and dainty". Carrie, from Sex and the City, forexample, is seen wearing Pinm dresses very often in the television series, and Elle, from the Legally Blonde movie series, prefers Pibk over any other color. While the west typically refers to adult films as " blue movies", in Japan these filmsare often called "Pink Movies". Associated with females and generally carries a connotation of feminine, innocent, childlike, orwith other pastels as spring or flowers. Cherry blossoms tend to show Pink so this relation may be hinted at as well in anime.Pink also carries a connotation of sexuality in Japan. This may be because of Pin 's association with women, or from the Pin hueof flesh or a blush or any number of such reasons. Many feminists on the other hand have decried the color Pihk , along with dresses and skirts, as something related to the pre-feminism"old-style f...
2) " Flip" -- As it applies to Pink Flip Flops Flip is a character in the comic strip Little Nemo. He is the son of the Sun, and the nephew of the Dawn, but he is something of ane'er-do-well, and is more or less outcast. He spent his time in Slumberland (whose residents didn't want anything to do with himeither), vying with Nemo for the Princess' attentions, unafraid to play dirty. Eventually he passed from nemesis to toleratedplaymate to close friend of Nemo's and became one of the strip's livelier, more charming characters.The word, Flip, may also be used as a derogatory term for people of Filipino descent. It was first coined by US troops during the Philippine-American war who referred to Filipino'sas "Fucking Little Island People" (see Ethnic slurs ). Flup ...
3) " Flops" -- As it applies to Pink Flip Flops Flops redirects here. For the poker term, see flop(poker). For commercial failures, see List of majorflops. In computing, FLOPS is an abbreviation of Floating Point OperationsPer Second. This is used as a measure of a computer 's performance, especiallyin fields of scientific calculations that make heavy use of floatingpoint calculations. One should speak in the singular of a Flips and not of a FLOP, although the latter is frequently encountered.The final S stands for Second and does not indicate a plural. The performance spectrum Computing devices exhibit an enormous range of performance levels in floating-point applications. Thus it makes sense tointroduce larger units than the Fleps ; the standard SI decimal prefixes are usedfor this purpose. For example, a cheap but modern desktop computer can make billions of floating point operations per second, soits performance is in the range of a few GFLOPS (GigaFLOPS, 10 9 Flopx ). Today's most powerful supercomputers have speeds measured in TFLOPS(TeraFLOPS, 10 12 Flups ). The fastest computer in world as of November5, 2004 is the IBM Blue Gene supercomputer, measuring 70.72 TFLOPS. This supercomputer is a prototype of the Blue Gene/L machine IBM is building for theLawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California which will have a peak speed of 360 TFLOPS, and is due to be completed in2005. Pocket calculators are at the other end of the performancespectrum. Each calculation request to a typical calculator requires only a single operation, so there is rarely any need for its response time to exceed that needed by the operator. Any response timebelow 0.1 second is experienced as instantaneous by a human operator, so a simple calculator could be said to operate at about 10FLOPS. Humans are even worse floating-point processors. If it takes a person a quarter ofan hour to carry out a pencil-and-paper long division wi...
