From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Allegiance \Al*le"giance\, n. [OE. alegeaunce; pref. a- + OF.       lige, liege. The meaning was influenced by L. ligare to bind,       and even by lex, legis, law. See {Liege}, {Ligeance}.]       1. The tie or obligation, implied or expressed, which a             subject owes to his sovereign or government; the duty of             fidelity to one's king, government, or state.          2. Devotion; loyalty; as, allegiance to science.          Syn: Loyalty; fealty.          Usage: {Allegiance}, {Loyalty}. These words agree in                   expressing the general idea of fidelity and attachment                   to the [bd]powers that be.[b8] Allegiance is an                   obligation to a ruling power. Loyalty is a feeling or                   sentiment towards such power. Allegiance may exist                   under any form of government, and, in a republic, we                   generally speak of allegiance to the government, to                   the state, etc. In well conducted monarchies, loyalty                   is a warm-hearted feeling of fidelity and obedience to                   the sovereign. It is personal in its nature; and hence                   we speak of the loyalty of a wife to her husband, not                   of her allegiance. In cases where we personify,                   loyalty is more commonly the word used; as, loyalty to                   the constitution; loyalty to the cause of virtue;                   loyalty to truth and religion, etc.                               Hear me, recreant, on thine allegiance hear me!                                                                               --Shak.                               So spake the Seraph Abdiel, faithful found, . .                            . Unshaken, unseduced, unterrified, His loyalty                            he kept, his love, his zeal.         --Milton.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
aliasing bug n.   A class of subtle programming errors that can    arise in code that does dynamic allocation, esp. via `malloc(3)' or    equivalent.   If several pointers address (`aliases for') a given    hunk of storage, it may happen that the storage is freed or    reallocated (and thus moved) through one alias and then referenced    through another, which may lead to subtle (and possibly    intermittent) lossage depending on the state and the allocation    history of the malloc {arena}.   Avoidable by use of allocation    strategies that never alias allocated core, or by use of    higher-level languages, such as {LISP}, which employ a garbage    collector (see {GC}).   Also called a {stale pointer bug}.   See also    {precedence lossage}, {smash the stack}, {fandango on core}, {memory    leak}, {memory smash}, {overrun screw}, {spam}.          Historical note: Though this term is nowadays associated with C    programming, it was already in use in a very similar sense in the    Algol-60 and FORTRAN communities in the 1960s.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
Alice and Bob n.   The archetypal individuals used as examples    in discussions of cryptographic protocols.   Originally, theorists    would say something like: "A communicates with someone who claims to    be B, So to be sure, A tests that B knows a secret number K. So A    sends to B a random number X. B then forms Y by encrypting X under    key K and sends Y back to A" Because this sort of thing is is quite    hard to follow, theorists stopped using the unadorned letters A and    B to represent the main players and started calling them Alice and    Bob. So now we say "Alice communicates with someone claiming to be    Bob, and to be sure, So Alice tests that Bob knows a secret number    K. Alice sends to Bob a random number X. Bob then forms Y by    encrypting X under key K and sends Y back to Alice".   A whole    mythology rapidly grew up around Alice and Bob; see    `http://www.conceptlabs.co.uk/alicebob.html'.          In Bruce Schneier's definitive introductory text "Applied    Cryptography" (2nd ed., 1996, John Wiley & Sons, ISBN 0-471-11709-9)    he introduces a table of dramatis personae headed by Alice and Bob.    Others include Carol (a participant in three- and four-party    protocols), Dave (a participant in four-party protocols), Eve (an    eavesdropper), Mallory (a malicious active attacker), Trent (a    trusted arbitrator), Walter (a warden), Peggy (a prover) and Victor    (a verifier).   These names for roles are either already standard or,    given the wide popularity of the book, may be expected to quickly    become so.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
aliasing          1. When several different identifiers refer to the       same object.   The term is very general and is used in many       contexts.          See {alias}, {aliasing bug}, {anti-aliasing}.          2. (Or "shadowing") Where a hardware device       responds at multiple addresses because it only decodes a       subset of the {address lines}, so different values on the       other lines are ignored.          (1998-03-13)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Alexander       man-defender. (1.) A relative of Annas the high priest, present       when Peter and John were examined before the Sanhedrim (Acts       4:6).                (2.) A man whose father, Simon the Cyrenian, bore the cross of       Christ (Mark 15:21).                (3.) A Jew of Ephesus who took a prominent part in the uproar       raised there by the preaching of Paul (Acts 19:33). The Jews put       him forward to plead their cause before the mob. It was probably       intended that he should show that he and the other Jews had no       sympathy with Paul any more than the Ephesians had. It is       possible that this man was the same as the following.                (4.) A coppersmith who, with Hymenaeus and others, promulgated       certain heresies regarding the resurrection (1 Tim. 1:19; 2 Tim.       4:14), and made shipwreck of faith and of a good conscience.       Paul excommunicated him (1 Tim. 1:20; comp. 1 Cor. 5:5).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Alexander the Great       the king of Macedonia, the great conqueror; probably represented       in Daniel by the "belly of brass" (Dan. 2:32), and the leopard       and the he-goat (7:6; 11:3,4). He succeeded his father Philip,       and died at the age of thirty-two from the effects of       intemperance, B.C. 323. His empire was divided among his four       generals.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Alexandria       the ancient metropolis of Lower Egypt, so called from its       founder, Alexander the Great (about B.C. 333). It was for a long       period the greatest of existing cities, for both Nineveh and       Babylon had been destroyed, and Rome had not yet risen to       greatness. It was the residence of the kings of Egypt for 200       years. It is not mentioned in the Old Testament, and only       incidentally in the New. Apollos, eloquent and mighty in the       Scriptures, was a native of this city (Acts 18:24). Many Jews       from Alexandria were in Jerusalem, where they had a synagogue       (Acts 6:9), at the time of Stephen's martyrdom. At one time it       is said that as many as 10,000 Jews resided in this city. It       possessed a famous library of 700,000 volumes, which was burned       by the Saracens (A.D. 642). It was here that the Hebrew Bible       was translated into Greek. This is called the Septuagint       version, from the tradition that seventy learned men were       engaged in executing it. It was, however, not all translated at       one time. It was begun B.C. 280, and finished about B.C. 200 or       150. (See {VERSION}.)
