The Buffer Zone | Linux Magazine (1650 words) |
 | Each buffer holds a single kind of Java primitive (in a sense, each buffer has a "type"), and maintains its own state, including its maximum capacity and the position of the next read or write. |
| If you create a new buffer from an entire array, the buffer's capacity and limit will be the same as the number of elements in the array, and position will be set to 0. |
| It sets the limit to the capacity of the buffer, moves the position to 0, and clears the mark. |

Buffer state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (370 words) |
| A buffer state is a country lying between two rival or potentially hostile greater powers, which by its sheer existence is thought to prevent conflict between them. |
| The conception of buffer states is part of the theory of balance of power that entered European strategic and diplomatic thinking in the 17th century. |
| In the 19th century, the manipulation of buffer states like Afghanistan and the Central Asian emirates was an element in the diplomatic "Great Game" played out between Britain and Tsarist Russia for control of the approaches to strategic mountain passes that led to British India. |
