From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
briefcase          A {Win95}/{WinNT} utility for keeping files on two       computers without permanent connection in sync.          The scenario briefcase was designed for is the combination of       an office computer and a {portable} one.   You connect the two       before leaving your office, create a briefcase on the portable       (if you don't already have one on it), then copy the files you       want to work on while away into the briefcase.   You can at       this point disconnect the two computers, take the portable       with you and work on the files in the briefcase at home or on       the road.   When you get back to your office the briefcase       utility can automatically update the files you changed on the       office computer.          (1998-05-18)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Barabbas       i.e., son of Abba or of a father, a notorious robber whom Pilate       proposed to condemn to death instead of Jesus, whom he wished to       release, in accordance with the Roman custom (John 18:40; Mark       15:7; Luke 23:19). But the Jews were so bent on the death of       Jesus that they demanded that Barabbas should be pardoned (Matt.       27:16-26; Acts 3:14). This Pilate did.
From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
