Born in OS/2 v2.0, it incorporated highly advanced technology for its time. It is also an <a href="/title/object-oriented+framework">object-oriented framework</a> which allows expert <a href="/title/programmer">programmer</a>s to re-use and modify its code. <p> The <a href="/title/WPS">WPS</a>s malleability is also its greatest weakness. Over time, depending on what is installed, it becomes unstable, leading to <a href="/title/hang">hang</a>s and <a href="/title/crash">crash</a>es, leaving the <a href="/title/OS">OS</a> unusable. http://everything2.com/user/username/writeups/ooblickusernamehttp://everything2.com/user/username1999-11-13T08:55:50Z1999-11-13T08:55:50Z A mixture of <a href="/title/corn+starch">corn starch</a> and <a href="/title/water">water</a>. It can behave as a <a href="/title/liquid">liquid</a> or <a href="/title/solid">solid</a>, depending on how much <a href="/title/force">force</a> you apply. Roll it around in your hands, and it forms a ball. Let it sit, and it melts into a puddle. Great fun. <p> To make it, start out with some corn starch and add water little by little, stirring constantly. Stop when the water and corn starch are completely mixed, but before it's too easy to stir. Add green <a href="/title/food+coloring">food coloring</a> for the complete experience. http://everything2.com/user/username/writeups/graphicsusernamehttp://everything2.com/user/username1999-11-13T08:54:48Z1999-11-13T08:54:48Z <p>Technically speaking, an <a href="/title/image">image</a> created by drawing lines from point to point on a <a href="/title/Cartesian+grid">Cartesian grid</a>.
