partial methods
Partial classes and partial methods are two programming language features of .NET programming languages that make it possible for developers to extend and enhance auto-generated code.
Partial methods are methods defined in a partial class that are (optionally) divided across two files. With partial methods one file contains the method signature – the method name, its return type, and its input parameters – while the body is (optionally) defined in a separate file. If the partial method’s body is not defined then the compiler automatically removes the partial method signature and all calls to the method at compile-time. Compare with partial classes.

- Partition
(v) To divide memory or mass storage into isolated sections. In DOS systems, you can partition a disk, and each partition will behave like a separate disk drive. Partitioning is particularly useful if you run more than one operating system. For example, you might reserve one partition for Windows and another for UNIX. In addition, […]

In marketing terms it refers to a piece of marketing material, such as an e-mail newsletter, that goes beyond the original recipient. A pass along is “passed along” to a second person by the recipient.
- Passive Component
In electrical, computer or storage systems, passive components are those that do not require electrical power to operate (e.g., not capable of power gain). This could include the chassis, capacitors, resistors or enclosures that do not require electrical power to operate but would exclude system components such as the power supply, fans, storage device, transistors, […]
- passive impostor acceptance
(n.) In a biometric security system, when an impostor intentionally submits his own biometric sample and claims the identity of another enrollee (either intentionally or unintentionally) with the purpose of gaining access to a system. Passive impostor acceptance implies that the impostor successfully gains entrance into the system using the verified identity. Compare with active […]
