(networking, business, tool, product, protocol)Slingshot - CSK Software's real time financial server for the Internet.

Slingshot allows the delivery of real time market data across the Internet and private intranets quickly, cheaply and securely. The first beta-test version was released free to the Internet on 6 August 1996. Slingshot allows any financial institution, regardless of size, to publish their rates and associated information to a global audience using standard Internet protocols and software. The real-time data can be seamlessly integrated into any standard World-Wide Web application and thus combined with static text, database queries and even audio and video objects, to create services.

The Slingshot protocol enables the delivery of other forms of real time data over the Internet, thus making Slingshot useful in industries as varied as manufacturing, betting, telemetry, weather, transport and medicine.

Version 2's improved protocol minimises the required bandwidth and can go through firewalls, proxies, and virus scanners, making Slingshot real-time data accessible everywhere where normal web access is possible.

Slipstreaming is not easy in a queue at 5mph but the driver of a Golf GTI (R Reg), with shades as black as his car, managed it, slingshotting past a silver Volvo as the line of cars lurched forward and almost vanishing up the rear of a Mondeo - and all that was just for one of last week's practice days when a sell-out crowd of 5,000 and masses of guests arrived for the warm-up to this weekend's British GP.
Other events include slingshotting, hatchet throwing, bow and arrow events, and lots of music and dance.
If our eyes could see in the realm of a few microns, today's machines performing acceleration and deceleration motions would look like a Warner Brothers cartoon, in which everything is elastic and the body takes off before the head and the neck stretches like a rubber band before slingshotting the head into position, where it vibrates for a while.
