Private was an experimental rocket developed by the California Institute of Technology on behalf of the United States Army. Tested in two different configurations, it provided the proof of concept that a fin-stabilised ballistic missile was technologically feasible, and led to the development of the Corporal ballistic missile.
The Private program was begun in 1944 as an outgrowth of work by the California Institute of Technology's Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory that had produced the first practical jet-assisted take-off (JATO) rockets. A proposal to adapt the JATO rockets for research into the development of ballistic missiles was accepted, and the first flight of the Private A rocket, developed under the direction of Tsien Hsue-shen, took place in December 1944, conducted at Camp Irwin in California.
Private A was an unguided, fin-stabilised ballistic rocket; it consisted of a JATO unit equipped with cruciform tail fins, and a set of four T22 booster rockets that were jettisoned after launch. This made Private A the first multistage rocket to be flown in the United States.
In computer science, information hiding is the principle of segregation of the design decisions in a computer program that are most likely to change, thus protecting other parts of the program from extensive modification if the design decision is changed. The protection involves providing a stable interface which protects the remainder of the program from the implementation (the details that are most likely to change).
Written another way, information hiding is the ability to prevent certain aspects of a class or software component from being accessible to its clients, using either programming language features (like private variables) or an explicit exporting policy.
The term encapsulation is often used interchangeably with information hiding. Not all agree on the distinctions between the two though; one may think of information hiding as being the principle and encapsulation being the technique. A software module hides information by encapsulating the information into a module or other construct which presents an interface.
It was just another fantasy
made in virtual reality
By the sensors you enjoyed the game
See the tragedy the whole thing became
The machine took your mind away
from its mortal frame
'cause to live in a human way
has become its aim
Face the void
Prepare for the fight
Victimized
by cruel megabytes
Feel the cybervoid
Against the machine cycle time you race
Data curse your soul
You're lost in cyberspace
with no control
Face the void
Prepare for the fight
Victimized
by cruel megabytes
Direct access to madness
throught permutation
Cybervoid
The machine will curse your mind
You're left separated from mankind
Cybervoid
The machine has made you blind
You're dream of a lifetime left behind
You have lived in a fantasy
but the dream's destroyed
Your spirit is doomed to roam
in the cybervoid
Face the void
Prepare for the fight
