freeze v.   To lock an evolving software distribution or    document against changes so it can be released with some hope of    stability.   Carries the strong implication that the item in question    will `unfreeze' at some future date.   "OK, fix that bug and we'll    freeze for release."          There are more specific constructions on this term.   A `feature    freeze', for example, locks out modifications intended to introduce    new features but still allows bugfixes and completion of existing    features; a `code freeze' connotes no more changes at all.   At Sun    Microsystems and elsewhere, one may also hear references to `code    slush' -- that is, an almost-but-not-quite frozen state.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
FRS // n.,obs.   Abbreviation for "Freely Redistributable    Software" which entered general use on the Internet in 1995 after    years of low-level confusion over what exactly to call software    written to be passed around and shared (contending terms including    {freeware}, {shareware}, and `sourceware' were never universally    felt to be satisfactory for various subtle reasons).   The first    formal conference on freely redistributable software was held in    Cambridge, Massachussetts, in February 1996 (sponsored by the Free    Software Foundation). The conference organizers used the FRS    abbreviation heavily in its calls for papers and other literature    during 1995. The term was in steady though not common use until 1998    and the invention of {open source}.

fork          A {Unix} {system call} used by a {process}       (the "parent") to make a copy (the "child") of itself.   The       child process is identical to the parent except it has a       different {process identifier} and a zero return value from       the fork call.   It is assumed to have used no resources.          A fork followed by an {exec} can be used to start a different       process but this can be inefficient and some later Unix       variants provide {vfork} as an alternative mechanism for this.          See also {fork bomb}.          (1996-12-08)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Fairs       (Heb. 'izabhonim), found seven times in Ezek. 27, and nowhere       else. The Authorized Version renders the word thus in all these       instances, except in verse 33, where "wares" is used. The       Revised Version uniformly renders by "wares," which is the       correct rendering of the Hebrew word. It never means "fairs" in       the modern sense of the word.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Frog       (Heb. tsepharde'a, meaning a "marsh-leaper"). This reptile is       mentioned in the Old Testament only in connection with one of       the plagues which fell on the land of Egypt (Ex. 8:2-14; Ps.       78:45; 105:30).                In the New Testament this word occurs only in Rev. 16:13,       where it is referred to as a symbol of uncleanness. The only       species of frog existing in Palestine is the green frog (Rana       esculenta), the well-known edible frog of the Continent.
