file control block          (FCB) An {MS-DOS} data structure that       stores information about an open file.   The number of FCBs is       configured in {CONFIG.SYS} with a command          FCBS=x,y          where x (between 1 and 255 inclusive, default 4) specifies the       number of file control blocks to allocate and therefore the       number of files that MS-DOS can have open at one time.   y (not       needed from DOS 5.0 onward) specifies the number of files to       be closed automatically if all x are in use.          (1995-03-21)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
flow control          The collection of techniques used       in serial communications to stop the sender sending data until       the receiver can accept it.   This may be either {software flow       control} or {hardware flow control}.   The receiver typically       has a fixed size {buffer} into which received data is written       as soon as it is received.   When the amount of buffered data       exceeds a "high water mark", the receiver will signal to the       transmitter to stop transmitting until the process reading the       data has read sufficient data from the buffer that it has       reached its "low water mark", at which point the receiver       signals to the transmitter to resume transmission.          (1995-03-22)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
full laziness          A transformation, described by       Wadsworth in 1971, which ensures that subexpressions in a       function body which do not depend on the function's arguments       are only evaluated once.   E.g. each time the function          f x = x + sqrt 4          is applied, (sqrt 4) will be evaluated.   Since (sqrt 4) does       not depend on x, we could transform this to:          f x = x + sqrt4       sqrt4 = sqrt 4          We have replaced the dynamically created (sqrt 4) with a       single shared constant which, in a {graph reduction} system,       will be evaluated the first time it is needed and then updated       with its value.          See also {fully lazy lambda lifting}, {let floating}.          (1994-11-09)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Flagon       Heb. ashishah, (2 Sam. 6:19; 1 Chr. 16:3; Cant. 2:5; Hos. 3:1),       meaning properly "a cake of pressed raisins." "Flagons of wine"       of the Authorized Version should be, as in the Revised Version,       "cakes of raisins" in all these passages. In Isa. 22:24 it is       the rendering of the Hebrew _nebel_, which properly means a       bottle or vessel of skin. (Comp. 1 Sam. 1:24; 10:3; 25:18; 2       Sam. 16:1, where the same Hebrew word is used.)
