                  and subtle a kind as to render it difficult to expose
                  its fallacy. Many fallacies are obvious, but the evil
                  of sophistry lies in its consummate art. [bd]Men are
                  apt to suffer their minds to be misled by fallacies
                  which gratify their passions. Many persons have
                  obscured and confounded the nature of things by their
                  wretched sophistry; though an act be never so sinful,
                  they will strip it of its guilt.[b8] --South.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   file system
  
      (FS, or "filesystem") 1. A system for
      organizing {directories} and {files}, generally in terms of
      how it is implemented in the {disk operating system}.   E.g.,
      "The {Macintosh file system} is just dandy as long as you
      don't have to interface it with any other file systems".
  
      2. The collection of files and directories stored on a given
      drive (floppy drive, hard drive, disk {partition}, {logical}
      drive, {RAM drive}, etc.).   E.g., "mount attaches a named file
      system to the file system hierarchy at the pathname location
      directory [...]" -- {Unix manual page} for "mount(8)".
  
      As an extension of this sense, "file system" is sometimes used
      to refer to the representatation of the file system's
      organisation (e.g. its {file allocation table}) as opposed the
      actual content of the files in the file system.
  
      {Unix manual page}: fs(5), mount(8).

   Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
  
      (FHS) A {standard} designed to be used by
      {Unix} {distribution} developers, {package} developers, and
      system implementors.
  
      FHS consists of a set of {requirements} and guidelines for
      file and directory placement under {UNIX}-like {operating
      systems}.
  
      The {guidelines} are intended to support interoperability of
      applications, system administration tools, development tools,
      and scripts.   These systems should also be supported with
      greater documentation uniformity.
  
      The standard is primarily intended to be a reference and is

      hierarchy.

   full-custom
  
      Design of {integrated circuit}s at the transistor or polygon
      level.   This is in contrast to the use of libraries of
      components.   Full-custom design requires considerable skill
      and experience and is usually only feasible for simple
      circuits, especially ones with much repetition, such as memory
      device, where a small saving in the size and power consumption
      of a component will yield a large overall saving.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   fully associative cache
  
      A cache where data from any address can be stored in any cache
      location.   The whole address must be used as the tag.   All
      tags must be compared simultaneously (associatively) with the
      requested address and if one matches then its associated data
      is accessed.   This requires an associative memory to hold the
      tags which makes this form of cache more expensive.   It does
      however solve the problem of contention for cache locations
      ({cache conflict}) since a block need only be flushed when the
      whole cache is full and then the block to flush can be
      selected in a more efficient way.
  
      See also {direct mapped cache}, {set associative cache}.
  
  

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Flesh-hook
      a many-pronged fork used in the sacrificial services (1 Sam.
      2:13, 14; Ex. 27:3; 38:3) by the priest in drawing away the
      flesh. The fat of the sacrifice, together with the breast and
      shoulder (Lev. 7:29-34), were presented by the worshipper to the
      priest. The fat was burned on the alter (3:3-5), and the breast
      and shoulder became the portion of the priests. But Hophni and
      Phinehas, not content with this, sent a servant to seize with a
      flesh-hook a further portion.
