socket virtual connection between processes. Sockets interface {Unix}'s {standard I/O} with its {network} communication facilities. They can be of two types, stream (bi-directional) or {datagram} (fixed length destination-addressed messages). The socket library function socket() creates a communications end-point or socket and returns a {file descriptor} with which to access that socket. The socket has associated with it a socket address, consisting of a {port} number and the local host's network address. {Unix manual page}: socket(2). (1995-01-31) | |

Socket 370 electrical specification for a {motherboard} {processor} socket. Socket 370 uses a square {SPGA} {ZIF} socket with 370 pins, arranged 37x37 (sometimes described as 19x19). {Intel} originally designed Socket 370 for {PPGA} Celeron processors. Newer Socket 370 motherboards additionally support {FC-PGA} Celeron and {Pentium III} processors. The difference between the two versions is electrical; some pins are used differently and voltage requirements have been changed from Intel's {VRM 8.2} to {VRM 8.4}. In addition, Celeron processors require a 66 MHz front side bus ({FSB}), and Pentium III processors require a 100/133 MHz FSB. Some older Socket 370 motherboards support VRM 8.4 and variable bus speeds, so adapters are available that convert the socket pinout to allow FC-PGA processors to work. {VIA}'s {Cyrix III} processor was designed to work with Socket 370 motherboards. {Intel Celeron Processor in PPGA form factor - Integration (http://www.pentium.com/design/quality/celeron/ppga/integration.htm)}. {Pentium III Processors - Design Guidelines (http://www.intel.com/design/PentiumIII/designgd/)}.

Socket 7 for the {x86 processor socket} matching the pins on {Pentium} {microprocessors} manufactured by {Intel}, and compatibles made by {Cyrix}, {AMD} and others.

Sect (Gr. hairesis, usually rendered "heresy", Acts 24:14; 1 Chr. 11:19; Gal. 5:20, etc.), meaning properly "a choice," then "a chosen manner of life," and then "a religious party," as the "sect" of the Sadducees (Acts 5:17), of the Pharisees (15:5), the Nazarenes, i.e., Christians (24:5). It afterwards came to be used in a bad sense, of those holding pernicious error, divergent forms of belief (2 Pet. 2:1; Gal. 5:20). | |

Succoth booths. (1.) The first encampment of the Israelites after leaving Ramesses (Ex. 12:37); the civil name of Pithom (q.v.). (2.) A city on the east of Jordan, identified with Tell Dar'ala, a high mound, a mass of debris, in the plain north of Jabbok and about one mile from it (Josh. 13:27). Here Jacob (Gen. 32:17, 30; 33:17), on his return from Padan-aram after his interview with Esau, built a house for himself and made booths for his cattle. The princes of this city churlishly refused to afford help to Gideon and his 300 men when "faint yet pursuing" they followed one of the bands of the fugitive Midianites after the great victory at Gilboa. After overtaking and routing this band at Karkor, Gideon on his return visited the rulers of the city with severe punishment. "He took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth" (Judg. 8:13-16). At this place were erected the foundries for casting the metal-work for the temple (1 Kings 7:46). | |
