dipolar computers

The Tick-Tock Man's face contorted with rage; he threw the remain-der of the
water into Jake's bruised, puffy face. "Don't you play it light with me!" he
shrieked. He stripped off the Seiko watch and shook it in front of Jake. "When I
asked you if this ran on a dipolar circuit, you said it didn't! So don't tell me
you don't know what I'm talking about when you already made it clear that you
do!"

"But . . . but ..." Jake couldn't go on. His head was whirling with fear and
confusion. He was aware, in some far-off fashion, that he was licking as much
water as he could off his lips.

"There's a thousand of those ever-fucking dipolar computers right under the
ever-fucking city, maybe a HUNDRED thousand, and the only one that still works
don't do a thing except play Watch Me and run those drums! I want those
computers! I want them working for ME!"

- Хамьё, - стеклянным голосом сказал Румата. - Вы же неграмотны, на что вам диполярные компьютеры?
