1. Condition, situation. "What's the state of your latest hack?"
"It's winning away." "The system tried to read and write the disk
simultaneously and got into a totally {wedged} state." The standard
question "What's your state?" means "What are you doing?" or "What
are you about to do?" Typical answers are "about to gronk out", or
"hungry". Another standard question is "What's the state of the
world?", meaning "What's new?" or "What's going on?". The more terse
and humorous way of asking these questions would be "State-p?".
Another way of phrasing the first question under sense 1 would be
"state-p latest hack?".
2. Information being maintained in non-permanent memory (electronic
