Flag Defined
Part of an analog Chess clock. As the minute hand on the clock nears the 12, the flat is pushed upward. When the minute hand reaches 12 it no longer holds up the flag and it falls. The falling of the flag indicates that the player's time has expired, and if the requisite number of moves have not been played, the player is said to "lose the game on time" (i.e. the game is lost because time ran out, not because of the position on the board, although many games are lost on time when the position is poor and the losing player uses large amounts of time in an effort to try to find a way to save the game).
This definition is in context to Chess. See more contextual defintions for Flag.

- Windows features you didn?t know existed: start /b and start /priority « The Zero Flag: 'In popular Unix/Linux shells, there is an option to start a process in the ?background? by (i.e. in bash) typing ?./something &?, or pressing Ctrl-Z and then ?bg?. The process then prints its output to stdout as usual, but the bash runs in the foreground and receives console stdin. In Windows, something similar (much less powerful than the bash ?jobs?, though) can be done by doing: start /b something' ;

- 4th of July History of the United States Flag for Families: It was not until June 24, 1912 that the United States Flag had order for the stars or proportions of the flag. American Flags before 1912 are very interesting to look at; they have unusual arrangements of the stars and odd proportions, because the flag maker could decide these features
