d8Spermatophyta \[d8]Sper`ma*toph"y*ta\, n. pl. [NL.; spermato-       + Gr. [?] plant.] (Bot.)       A phylum embracing the highest plants, or those that produce       seeds; the seed plants, or flowering plants. They form the       most numerous group, including over 120,000 species. In       general, the group is characterized by the marked development       of the sporophyte, with great differentiation of its parts       (root, stem, leaves, flowers, etc.); by the extreme reduction       of the gametophyte; and by the development of seeds. All the       Spermatophyta are heterosporous; fertilization of the egg       cell is either through a          {pollen tube} emitted by the microspore or (in a few             gymnosperms) by spermatozoids.          Note: The phrase [bd]flowering plants[b8] is less distinctive                than [bd]seed plants,[b8] since the conifers, grasses,                sedges, oaks, etc., do not produce flowers in the                popular sense. For this reason the terms {Anthrophyta},                {Ph[91]nogamia}, and {Panerogamia} have been superseded                as names of the phylum by Spermatophyta.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
Anthropomorphization          Semantically, one rich source of jargon constructions is the hackish    tendency to anthropomorphize hardware and software.   This isn't done in    a naive way; hackers don't personalize their stuff in the sense of    feeling empathy with it, nor do they mystically believe that the things    they work on every day are `alive'.   What _is_ common is to hear    hardware or software talked about as though it has homunculi talking to    each other inside it, with intentions and desires.   Thus, one hears    "The protocol handler got confused", or that programs "are trying" to    do things, or one may say of a routine that "its goal in life is to X".    One even hears explanations like "...   and its poor little brain    couldn't understand X, and it died."   Sometimes modelling things this    way actually seems to make them easier to understand, perhaps because    it's instinctively natural to think of anything with a really complex    behavioral repertoire as `like a person' rather than `like a thing'.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
amateur packet radio          (PR) The use of {packet radio} by amateurs to       communicate between computers.   PR is a complete amateur radio       computer network with "digipeaters" (relays), mailboxes (BBS)       and other special nodes.          In Germany, it is on HF, say, 2m (300 and 1200 BPS), 70cm       (1200 to 9600 BPS), 23cm (normally 9600 BPS and up, currently       most links between digipeaters) and higher frequencies.   There       is a KW (short wave) Packet Radio at 300 BPS, too.          Satellites with OSCAR (Orbiting Sattelite Carring Amateur       Radio) transponders (mostly attached to commercial satellites       by the AMateur SATellite (AMSAT) group) carry Packet Radio       mailboxes or {digipeaters}.          There are both on-line and off-line services on the packet radio       network: You can send {electronic mail}, read bulletins, chat,       transfer files, connect to on-line DX-Clusters (DX=far       distance) to catch notes typed in by other HAMs about the       hottest international KW connections currently coming up (so       you can pile up).          PR uses {AX.25} (an {X.25} derivative) as its {transport       layer} and sometimes even {TCP/IP} is transmitted over AX.25.       AX.25 is like X.25 but the adressing uses HAM "calls" like       "DG8MGV".          There are special "wormholes" all over the world which       "tunnel" amateur radio traffic through the {Internet} to       forward mail.   Sometimes mails travels over satelites.       Normally amateur satellites have strange orbits, however the       mail forwarding or maibox satellites have very predictable       orbits.   Some wormholes allow HAMs to bridge from Internet to       {AMPR-NET}, e.g. db0fho.ampr.org or db0fho.et-inf.fho-emden.de,       but only if you are registered HAM.          Because amateur radio is not for profit, it must not be       interconnected to the {Internet} but it may be connected       through the Internet.   All people on the (completely free)       amateur radio net must be licensed radio amateurs and must       have a "call" which is unique all over the world.          There is a special {domain} AMPR.ORG (44.*.*.*) for amateur       radio reserved in the IP space.   This domain is split between       countries, which can further subdivide it.   For example       44.130.*.* is Germany, 44.130.58.* is Augsburg (in Bavaria),       and 44.130.58.20 is dg8mgv.ampr.org (you may verify this with       {nslookup}).          Mail transport is only one aspect of packet radio.   You can       talk interactively (as in {chat}), read files, or play silly       games built in the Packet Radio software.   Usually you can use       the autorouter to let the digipeater network find a path to       the station you want.   However there are many (sometimes       software incompatible) digipeaters out there, which the router       cannot use.   Paths over 1000 km are unlikely to be useable for       {real-time} communication and long paths can introduce       significant delay times (answer latency).          Other uses of amateur radio for computer communication include       {RTTY} ({baudot}), {AMTOR}, {PACTOR}, and {CLOVER}.          {A huge hamradio archive (ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/hamradio/)}.          {Usenet} newsgroup: {news:rec.radio.amateur.packet}.          (2001-05-12)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Andrew       manliness, a Greek name; one of the apostles of our Lord. He was       of Bethsaida in Galilee (John 1:44), and was the brother of       Simon Peter (Matt. 4:18; 10:2). On one occasion John the       Baptist, whose disciple he then was, pointing to Jesus, said,       "Behold the Lamb of God" (John 1:40); and Andrew, hearing him,       immediately became a follower of Jesus, the first of his       disciples. After he had been led to recognize Jesus as the       Messiah, his first care was to bring also his brother Simon to       Jesus. The two brothers seem to have after this pursued for a       while their usual calling as fishermen, and did not become the       stated attendants of the Lord till after John's imprisonment       (Matt. 4:18, 19; Mark 1:16, 17). Very little is related of       Andrew. He was one of the confidential disciples (John 6:8;       12:22), and with Peter, James, and John inquired of our Lord       privately regarding his future coming (Mark 13:3). He was       present at the feeding of the five thousand (John 6:9), and he       introduced the Greeks who desired to see Jesus (John 12:22); but       of his subsequent history little is known. It is noteworthy that       Andrew thrice brings others to Christ, (1) Peter; (2) the lad       with the loaves; and (3) certain Greeks. These incidents may be       regarded as a key to his character.

The banking sector, with its "tax haven" status, also    contributes substantially to the economy. Agricultural production is    limited by a scarcity of arable land, and most food has to be    imported. The principal livestock activity is sheep raising.    Manufacturing consists mainly of cigarettes, cigars, and furniture.    Andorra is a member of the EU Customs Union; it is unclear what effect    the European Single Market will have on the advantages Andorra obtains    from its duty-free status.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $760 million (1992    est.)       National product real growth rate: NA%       National product per capita: $14,000 (1992 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): NA%       Unemployment rate: 0%       Budget:    revenues: $138 million    expenditures: $177 million, including capital expenditures of $NA    (1993)       Exports: $30 million (f.o.b., 1993 est.)    commodities: electricity, tobacco products, furniture    partners: France, Spain       Imports: $NA    commodities: consumer goods, food    partners: France, Spain       External debt: $NA       Industrial production: growth rate NA%       Electricity:    capacity: 35,000 kW    production: 140 million kWh    consumption per capita: 2,570 kWh (1992)       Industries: tourism (particularly skiing), sheep, timber, tobacco,    banking       Agriculture: sheep raising; small quantities of tobacco, rye, wheat,    barley, oats, and some vegetables       Economic aid: none       Currency: 1 French franc (F) = 100 centimes; 1 peseta (Pta) = 100    centimos; the French and Spanish currencies are used       Exchange rates: French francs (F) per US$1 - 5.2943 (January 1995),    5,5520 (1994), 5.6632 (1993), 5.2938 (1992), 5.6421 (1991), 5.4453    (1990); Spanish pesetas (Ptas) per US$1 - 132.61 (January 1995),    133.96 (1994), 127.26 (1993), 102.38 (1992), 103.91 (1991), 101.93    (1990)       Fiscal year: calendar year       Andorra:Transportation       Railroads: 0 km       Highways:    total: 96 km    paved: NA    unpaved: NA       Ports: none       Airports: none       Andorra:Communications       Telephone system: 17,700 telephones; digital microwave network    local: NA    intercity: NA    international: landline circuits to France and Spain       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 1, FM 0, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 0    televisions: NA       Andorra:Defense Forces       Note: defense is the responsibility of France and Spain
