Dis- \Dis-\ (?; 258)       .          1. A prefix from the Latin, whence F. d[82]s, or sometimes             d[82]-, dis-. The Latin dis-appears as di-before b, d, g,             l, m, n, r, v, becomes dif-before f, and either dis-or di-             before j. It is from the same root as bis twice, and duo,             E. two. See {Two}, and cf. {Bi-}, {Di-}, {Dia-}.             Dis-denotes separation, a parting from, as in distribute,             disconnect; hence it often has the force of a privative             and negative, as in disarm, disoblige, disagree. Also             intensive, as in dissever.          Note: Walker's rule of pronouncing this prefix is, that the s                ought always to be pronounced like z, when the next                syllable is accented and begins with [bd]a flat mute                [b, d, v, g, z], a liquid [l, m, n, r], or a vowel; as,                disable, disease, disorder, disuse, disband, disdain,                disgrace, disvalue, disjoin, dislike, dislodge, dismay,                dismember, dismiss, dismount, disnatured, disrank,                disrelish, disrobe.[b8] Dr. Webster's example in                disapproving of Walker's rule and pronouncing dis-as                diz in only one (disease) of the above words, is                followed by recent ortho[89]pists. See {Disable},                {Disgrace}, and the other words, beginning with dis-,                in this Dictionary.          2. A prefix from Gr. di`s- twice. See {Di-}.

Commonly used abbreviation for Digital    Equipment Corporation, later deprecated by DEC itself in favor of    "Digital" and now entirely obsolete following the buyout by Compaq.    Before the {killer micro} revolution of the late 1980s, hackerdom    was closely symbiotic with DEC's pioneering timesharing machines.    The first of the group of cultures described by this lexicon    nucleated around the PDP-1 (see {TMRC}).   Subsequently, the PDP-6,    {PDP-10}, {PDP-20}, PDP-11 and {VAX} were all foci of large and    important hackerdoms, and DEC machines long dominated the ARPANET    and Internet machine population.   DEC was the technological leader    of the minicomputer era (roughly 1967 to 1987), but its failure to    embrace microcomputers and Unix early cost it heavily in profits and    prestige after {silicon} got cheap.   Nevertheless, the    microprocessor design tradition owes a major debt to the PDP-11    instruction set, and every one of the major general-purpose    microcomputer OSs so far (CP/M, MS-DOS, Unix, OS/2, Windows NT) was    either genetically descended from a DEC OS, or incubated on DEC    hardware, or both.   Accordingly, DEC was for many years still    regarded with a certain wry affection even among many hackers too    young to have grown up on DEC machines.          DEC reclaimed some of its old reputation among techies in the first    half of the 1990s.   The success of the Alpha, an    innovatively-designed and very high-performance {killer micro},    helped a lot.   So did DEC's newfound receptiveness to Unix and open    systems in general.   When Compaq acquired DEC at the end of 1998    there was some concern that these gains would be lost along with the    DEC nameplate, but the merged company has so far turned out to be    culturally dominated by the ex-DEC side.

dike vt.   To remove or disable a portion of something, as a    wire from a computer or a subroutine from a program.   A standard    slogan is "When in doubt, dike it out".   (The implication is that it    is usually more effective to attack software problems by reducing    complexity than by increasing it.)   The word `dikes' is widely used    among mechanics and engineers to mean `diagonal cutters', esp. the    heavy-duty metal-cutting version, but may also refer to a kind of    wire-cutters used by electronics techs.   To `dike something out'    means to use such cutters to remove something.   Indeed, the TMRC    Dictionary defined dike as "to attack with dikes".   Among hackers    this term has been metaphorically extended to informational objects    such as sections of code.

DOS/360          The {operating system} announced by {IBM}       at the low end for the {System/360} in 1964 and delivered in       1965 or 1966.          Following the failure of {OS}, IBM designed DOS for the low       end machines, able to run in 16KB(?) and 64KB memory.          DOS/360 used three {memory partitions}, but it had no serious       {memory protection}.   The three partitions were not       specialised, but frequently one was used for {spooling}       {punched cards} to {disk}, another one for {batch job}       execution and another for spooling disk to printers.          With DOS/VS, introduced in 1970, the number of partitions was       increased, {virtual memory} was introduced and the minimum       memory requirements increased.          Later they released DOS/VSE and ESA/VSE.   DOS/360 successors       are still alive today (1997) though not as popular as in the       late 1960s.          Contrary to the Hacker's {Jargon File}, {GECOS} was not copied       from DOS/360.          (1997-09-22)

DS0          The zeroth {DS level}, having a transmission       rate of 64,000 bits per second (64 kb/s), intended to carry       one {voice channel} (a phone call).          (2001-03-18)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
DS1          A {DS level} and {framing specification} for       synchronous digital streams, over circuits in the North       American {digital transmission hierarchy}, at the {T1}       transmission rate of 1,544,000 bits per second ({baud}).          DS1 is commonly used to multiplex 24 {DS0} channels.   Each DS0       channel, originally a digitised voice-grade telephone signal,       carries 8000 bytes per second (64,000 bits per second).   A DS1       frame includes one byte from each of the 24 DS0 channels and       adds one {framing bit}, making a total of 193 bits per frame       at 8000 frames per second.   The result is 193*8000 = 1,544,000       bits per second.          In the original standard, the successive framing bits       continuously repeated the 12-bit sequence 110111001000, and       such a 12-frame unit is called a super-frame.   In voice       telephony, errors are acceptable (early standards allowed as       much as one frame in six to be missing entirely), so the least       significant bit in two of the 24 streams was used for       signaling between network equipments.   This is called       {robbed-bit signaling}.          To promote error-free transmission, an alternative called the       extended super-frame (ESF) of 24 frames was developed.   In       this standard, six of the 24 framing bits provide a six bit       {cyclic redundancy check} (CRC-6), and six provide the actual       framing.   The other 12 form a virtual circuit of 4000 bits per       second for use by the transmission equipment, for {call       progress signals} such as busy, idle and ringing.   DS1 signals       using ESF equipment are nearly error-free, because the CRC       detects errors and allows automatic re-routing of connections.          Compare {T-carrier systems}.          [Kenneth Sherman, "Data Communications : a user's guide",       third edition (1990), Reston/Prentice-Hall/Simon & Schuster].          (1996-03-30)

DS1C          A {DS level} and {framing specification} for       digital signals in the North American digital transmission       hierarchy.   A DS1C signal uses 48 {PCM} channels and has a       transmission rate of 3.15 Megabits per second, twice that of       {DS1}.          DS1C uses two {DS1} signals combined and sent on a 3.152       megabit per second {carrier} which allows 64 kilobits per       second for synchronisation and {framing} using "{pulse       stuffing}".   The channel 2 signal is logically inverted, and a       framing bit is stuffed in two out of three code words,       resulting in 26-bit information units.   The channels are       interleaved and then scrambled by the addition {modulo} 2 of       the signal with the previous bit.   Finally the bit stream is       combined with a control bit sequence that permits the       {demultiplexor} to function by preceding each 52 bits with one       DS1C framing bit.   A series of 24 such 53-bit frames forms a       1272-bit "M-frame".          (1995-02-07)

Dish       for eating from (2 Kings 21:13). Judas dipped his hand with a       "sop" or piece of bread in the same dish with our Lord, thereby       indicating friendly intimacy (Matt. 26:23). The "lordly dish" in       Judg. 5:25 was probably the shallow drinking cup, usually of       brass. In Judg. 6:38 the same Hebrew word is rendered "bowl."                The dishes of the tabernacle were made of pure gold (Ex.       25:29; 37:16).

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Dog       frequently mentioned both in the Old and New Testaments. Dogs       were used by the Hebrews as a watch for their houses (Isa.       56:10), and for guarding their flocks (Job 30:1). There were       also then as now troops of semi-wild dogs that wandered about       devouring dead bodies and the offal of the streets (1 Kings       14:11; 16:4; 21:19, 23; 22:38; Ps. 59:6, 14).                As the dog was an unclean animal, the terms "dog," "dog's       head," "dead dog," were used as terms of reproach or of       humiliation (1 Sam. 24:14; 2 Sam. 3:8; 9:8; 16:9). Paul calls       false apostles "dogs" (Phil. 3:2). Those who are shut out of the       kingdom of heaven are also so designated (Rev. 22:15).       Persecutors are called "dogs" (Ps. 22:16). Hazael's words, "Thy       servant which is but a dog" (2 Kings 8:13), are spoken in mock       humility=impossible that one so contemptible as he should attain       to such power.

Dough       (batsek, meaning "swelling," i.e., in fermentation). The dough       the Israelites had prepared for baking was carried away by them       out of Egypt in their kneading-troughs (Ex. 12:34, 39). In the       process of baking, the dough had to be turned (Hos. 7:8).
