9-letter words that end in mode
- a la mode — A dessert à la mode is served with ice cream.
- comm mode — (chat) (Or "com mode") An ITS feature supporting interactive on-line chat.
- demo mode — (Sun) 1. The state of being heads down in order to finish code in time for a demo, usually due yesterday. 2. (games) (Or "attract mode") A mode in which video games sit by themselves running through a portion of the game. Some serious apps have a demo mode they use as a screen saver, or may go through a demo mode on startup (for example, the Microsoft Windows opening screen - which lets you impress your neighbors without actually having to put up with Microsloth Windows).
- eigenmode — a normal mode in an oscillating system, being one in which all parts of the system are oscillating with the same frequency
- hack mode — (jargon) Engaged in hacking. A Zen-like state of total focus on The Problem that may be achieved when one is hacking (this is why every good hacker is part mystic). Ability to enter such concentration at will correlates strongly with wizardliness; it is one of the most important skills learned during larval stage. Sometimes amplified as "deep hack mode". Being yanked out of hack mode (see priority interrupt) may be experienced as a physical shock, and the sensation of being in hack mode is more than a little habituating. The intensity of this experience is probably by itself sufficient explanation for the existence of hackers, and explains why many resist being promoted out of positions where they can code. See also cyberspace. Some aspects of hackish etiquette will appear quite odd to an observer unaware of the high value placed on hack mode. For example, if someone appears at your door, it is perfectly okay to hold up a hand (without turning one's eyes away from the screen) to avoid being interrupted. One may read, type, and interact with the computer for quite some time before further acknowledging the other's presence (of course, he or she is reciprocally free to leave without a word). The understanding is that you might be in hack mode with a lot of delicate state in your head, and you dare not swap that context out until you have reached a good point to pause. See also juggling eggs.
- incommode — to inconvenience or discomfort; disturb; trouble.
- multimode — Having, or employing multiple modes.
- page mode — 1. (hardware, storage) See page mode DRAM. 2. (hardware) An operation mode of video terminals like the IBM 3270, in which the terminal only sends a completed input screen (page) to the host instead of sending each character as the keys are pressed.

- real mode — An operating mode of Intel 80x86 processors. The opposite of protected mode.
- root mode — Synonym with wizard mode or "wheel mode". Like these, it is often generalised to describe privileged states in systems other than operating systems.
- safe mode — (operating system) An alternative way to start Microsoft Windows such that only a minimal set of software components (drivers and background processes) are loaded, making it easier to diagnose problems. Safe mode loads a standard low resolution video driver and does not support connection to the Internet. Windows will sometimes restart in safe mode automatically following a crash. All Windows versions except Windows 3.1 can be started in safe mode, usually by holding the Ctrl or F8 key while the computer is restarting. To start Windows NT in safe mode you need to edit C:\boot.ini. Once the problem is fixed you need to restart Windows normally to load all the installed components.
