You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

Status : Offline | ENQUEUE: An operation that adds an element as the last element to a queue.
DEQUEUE: removes it.
Both are tech terms - ENQUEUE is used to serialize a resource (such as a Data Set - or file) this ensures that only a single "owner" can hold exclusive rights (basically locking the resource, and ensuring integrity).

Then we have no problem!
But thanks a lot for giving the definitions.
Any users of certain shady software might be aware of them... *whistles*
