From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
pointy-haired adj.   [after the character in the {Dilbert} comic    strip] Describes the extreme form of the property that separates    {suit}s and {marketroid}s from hackers. Compare {brain-dead};    {demented}; see {PHB}. Always applied to people, never to ideas. The    plural form is often used as a noun. "The pointy-haireds ordered me    to use Windows NT, but I set up a Linux server with Samba instead."

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
pointer          1. An {address}, from the point of view of a       programming language.   A pointer may be typed, with its {type}       indicating the type of data to which it points.          The terms "pointer" and "reference" are generally       interchangable although particular programming languages often       differentiate these two in subtle ways.   For example, {Perl}       always calls them references, never pointers.   Conversely, in       C, "pointer" is used, although "a reference" is often used to       denote the concept that a pointer implements.          {Anthony Hoare} once said:          Pointers are like jumps, leading wildly from one part of the       data structure to another.   Their introduction into high-level       languages has been a step backward from which we may never       recover.          [C.A.R.Hoare "Hints on Programming Language Design", 1973,       Prentice-Hall collection of essays and papers by Tony Hoare].          2. (Or "mouse pointer") An {icon}, usually       a small arrow, that moves on the screen in response to       movement of a {pointing device}, typically a {mouse}.   The       pointer shows the user which object on the screen will be       selected etc. when a mouse button is clicked.          (1999-07-07)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Ponder          A {non-strict} {polymorphic}, {functional language} by Jon       Fairbairn .          Ponder's type system is unusual.   It is more powerful than the       {Hindley-Milner type} system used by {ML} and {Miranda} and       extended by {Haskell}.   Ponder adds extra recursive 'mu' types       to those of Girard's {System F}, allowing more general       {recursion}.   Surprisingly, the type system and {type       inference} {algorithm} are still not completely understood.          ["Ponder and its Type System", J. Fairbairn, TR 31, Cambridge       U Computer Lab, Nov 1982].          [J. Fairbairn, "Design and Implementation of a Simple Typed       Language based on the Lambda-Calculus", Technical Report       No. 75, Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge, May       1985].          [J.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Pine tree       Heb. tidhar, mentioned along with the fir-tree in Isa. 41:19;       60:13. This is probably the cypress; or it may be the       stone-pine, which is common on the northern slopes of Lebanon.       Some suppose that the elm, others that the oak, or holm, or       ilex, is meant by the Hebrew word. In Neh. 8:15 the Revised       Version has "wild olive" instead of "pine." (See {FIR}.)
