   Gold \Gold\ (g[omac]ld), n. [AS. gold; akin to D. goud, OS. & G.
      gold, Icel. gull, Sw. & Dan. guld, Goth. gul[thorn], Russ. &
      OSlav. zlato; prob. akin to E. yellow. [root]49, 234. See
      {Yellow}, and cf. {Gild}, v. t.]
      1. (Chem.) A metallic element, constituting the most precious
            metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. It
            has a characteristic yellow color, is one of the heaviest
            substances known (specific gravity 19.32), is soft, and
            very malleable and ductile. It is quite unalterable by
            heat, moisture, and most corrosive agents, and therefore
            well suited for its use in coin and jewelry. Symbol Au
            (Aurum). Atomic weight 196.7.
  
      Note: Native gold contains usually eight to ten per cent of
               silver, but often much more. As the amount of silver
               increases, the color becomes whiter and the specific
               gravity lower. Gold is very widely disseminated, as in
               the sands of many rivers, but in very small quantity.
               It usually occurs in quartz veins (gold quartz), in
               slate and metamorphic rocks, or in sand and alluvial
               soil, resulting from the disintegration of such rocks.
               It also occurs associated with other metallic
               substances, as in auriferous pyrites, and is combined
               with tellurium in the minerals petzite, calaverite,
               sylvanite, etc. Pure gold is too soft for ordinary use,
               and is hardened by alloying with silver and copper, the
               latter giving a characteristic reddish tinge. [See
               {Carat}.] Gold also finds use in gold foil, in the
               pigment purple of Cassius, and in the chloride, which
               is used as a toning agent in photography.
  
      2. Money; riches; wealth.
  
                     For me, the gold of France did not seduce. --Shak.
  
      3. A yellow color, like that of the metal; as, a flower
            tipped with gold.
  
      4. Figuratively, something precious or pure; as, hearts of
            gold. --Shak.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   knobs pl.n.   Configurable options, even in software and even
   those you can't adjust in real time.   Anything you can {twiddle} is
   a knob.   "Has this PNG viewer got an alpha knob?"   Software may be
   described as having "knobs and switches" or occasionally "knobs and
   lights".
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   knapsack problem
  
      Given a {set} of items, each with a
      cost and a value, determine the number of each item to include
      in a collection so that the total cost is less than some given
      cost and the total value is as large as possible.
  
      The 0/1 knapsack problem restricts the number of each items to
      zero or one.
  
      Such {constraint satisfaction} problems are often solved using
      {dynamic programming}.
  
      The general knapsack problem is {NP-hard}, and this has led to
      attempts to use it as the basis for {public-key encryption}
      systems.   Several such attempts failed because the knapsack
      problems they produced were in fact solvable by
      {polynomial-time algorithms}.
  
      [Are there any trusted knapsack-based public-key
      cryptosystems?].
