A hard lockout typically involves a physical barrier or mechanism that prevents access, such as a locked door or gate. A soft lockout usually involves a software-based restriction or temporary disabling of a system, such as blocking user access to specific features on a computer program.

Soft objects have a low rigidity and can easily change shape when pressure is applied, while hard objects have high rigidity and maintain their shape under pressure. Soft objects often have a smooth surface texture, while hard objects are typically rough or firm to the touch. Examples of soft objects include pillows or sponge, while examples of hard objects include rocks or metal.
Soft magnets are easily magnetized and demagnetized, while hard magnets retain their magnetism once magnetized. Soft magnets have low coercivity and high permeability, making them suitable for applications like electromagnets. Hard magnets have high coercivity and are used in applications where a strong, lasting magnetic field is needed, such as in permanent magnets.
I don't know if Argon is hard or soft, that is why I am asking you, but apparently you won't give me the answer! >.< I'm guessing soft, but i dunno..
The opposite of rock-hard would be soft or flexible.
Yes, the analogy "cotton is to soft as brick is to hard" is correct. Cotton is known for its softness, while brick is known for its hardness, making them opposites in terms of texture. This analogy highlights the contrast between the two pairs of objects.
