smoke and mirrors n.   Marketing deceptions.   The term is    mainstream in this general sense.   Among hackers it's strongly    associated with bogus demos and crocked {benchmark}s (see also    {MIPS}, {machoflops}).   "They claim their new box cranks 50 MIPS for    under $5000, but didn't specify the instruction mix -- sounds like    smoke and mirrors to me."   The phrase, popularized by newspaper    columnist Jimmy Breslin c.1975, has been said to derive from carnie    slang for magic acts and `freak show' displays that depend on    `trompe l'oeil' effects, but also calls to mind the fierce Aztec god    Tezcatlipoca (lit. "Smoking Mirror") for whom the hearts of huge    numbers of human sacrificial victims were regularly cut out.   Upon    hearing about a rigged demo or yet another round of fantasy-based    marketing promises, hackers often feel analogously disheartened.    See also {stealth manager}.

Some AI Koans          These are some of the funniest examples of a genre of jokes told at    the MIT AI Lab about various noted hackers.   The original koans were    composed by Danny Hillis, who would later found Connection Machines,    Inc.   In reading these, it is at least useful to know that Minsky,    Sussman, and Drescher are AI researchers of note, that Tom Knight was    one of the Lisp machine's principal designers, and that David Moon    wrote much of Lisp Machine Lisp.                                                    * * *          A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning the power    off and on.          Knight, seeing what the student was doing, spoke sternly: "You cannot    fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no understanding of what is    going wrong."          Knight turned the machine off and on.          The machine worked.                                                    * * *          One day a student came to Moon and said: "I understand how to make a    better garbage collector.   We must keep a reference count of the    pointers to each cons."          Moon patiently told the student the following story:          "One day a student came to Moon and said: `I understand how to       make a better garbage collector...          [Ed. note: Pure reference-count garbage collectors have problems with    circular structures that point to themselves.]                                                    * * *          In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he    sat hacking at the PDP-6.          "What are you doing?", asked Minsky.          "I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe"    Sussman replied.          "Why is the net wired randomly?", asked Minsky.          "I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play",    Sussman said.          Minsky then shut his eyes.          "Why do you close your eyes?", Sussman asked his teacher.          "So that the room will be empty."          At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.                                                    * * *          A disciple of another sect once came to Drescher as he was eating    his morning meal.          "I would like to give you this personality test", said the outsider,    "because I want you to be happy."          Drescher took the paper that was offered him and put it into the    toaster, saying: "I wish the toaster to be happy, too."

Science and Engineering Research Council          (SERC) Formerly the largest of the five research       councils funded by the British Government through the Office       of Science and Technology.   SERC funded higher education       research in science and engineering, including computing and       was responsible for the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, near       Oxford; the Daresbury Laboratory, near Warrington; the Royal       Greenwich Observatory at Cambridge and the Royal Observatory,       Edinburgh.          In April 1994 SERC was split into the Engineering and Physical       Sciences Research Council and the Particle Physics and       Astronomy Research Council.   SERC's remote sensing efforts       have been transferred to the Natural Environment RC and its       biotechnology efforts merged with the Agriculture and Food RC       to make the new Biotechnology and Biological Sciences RC.   The       two major SERC laboratories - {Rutherford Appleton Laboratory}       and Daresbury Laboratory are now independent.          {(http://unixfe.rl.ac.uk/serc/serc.html)}.          (1994-12-15)

semiconductor          A material, typically crystaline, which allows       {current} to flow under certain circumstances.   Common       semiconductors are silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide.       Semiconductors are used to make {diodes}, {transistors} and       other basic "solid state" electronic components.          As crystals of these materials are grown, they are "doped"       with traces of other elements called {donors} or {acceptors}       to make regions which are n- or p-type respectively for the       {electron model} or p- or n-type under the {hole model}.       Where n and p type regions adjoin, a junction is formed which       will pass {current} in one direction (from p to n) but not the       other, giving a {diode}.          One {model} of semiconductor behaviour describes the doping       elements as having either {free electrons} or {holes} dangling       at the points in the crystal lattice where the doping elements       replace one of the atoms of the foundation material.   When       external electrons are applied to n-type material (which       already has free electrons present) the repulsive force of       like charges causes the free electrons to migrate toward the       junction, where they are attracted to the holes in the p-type       material.   Thus the junction conducts current.          In contrast, when external electrons are applied to p-type       material, the attraction of unlike charges causes the holes to       migrate away from the junction and toward the source of       external electrons.   The junction thus becomes "depleted" of       its charge carriers and is non-conducting.          (1995-10-04)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Samson       of the sun, the son of Manoah, born at Zorah. The narrative of       his life is given in Judg. 13-16. He was a "Nazarite unto God"       from his birth, the first Nazarite mentioned in Scripture (Judg.       13:3-5; comp. Num. 6:1-21). The first recorded event of his life       was his marriage with a Philistine woman of Timnath (Judg.       14:1-5). Such a marriage was not forbidden by the law of Moses,       as the Philistines did not form one of the seven doomed       Canaanite nations (Ex. 34:11-16; Deut. 7:1-4). It was, however,       an ill-assorted and unblessed marriage. His wife was soon taken       from him and given "to his companion" (Judg. 14:20). For this       Samson took revenge by burning the "standing corn of the       Philistines" (15:1-8), who, in their turn, in revenge "burnt her       and her father with fire." Her death he terribly avenged       (15:7-19). During the twenty years following this he judged       Israel; but we have no record of his life. Probably these twenty       years may have been simultaneous with the last twenty years of       Eli's life. After this we have an account of his exploits at       Gaza (16:1-3), and of his infatuation for Delilah, and her       treachery (16:4-20), and then of his melancholy death       (16:21-31). He perished in the last terrible destruction he       brought upon his enemies. "So the dead which he slew at his       death were more [in social and political importance=the elite of       the people] than they which he slew in his life."                "Straining all his nerves, he bowed:                As with the force of winds and waters pent,                When mountains tremble, those two massy pillars                With horrible convulsion to and fro                He tugged, he shook, till down they came, and drew                The whole roof after them, with burst of thunder                Upon the heads of all who sat beneath,                Lords, ladies, captains, counsellors, or priests,                Their choice nobility and flower."                Milton's Samson Agonistes.

Sansannah       a palm branch, or a thorn bush, a town in the south (the negeb)       of Judah (Josh. 15:31); called also Hazarsusah (19:5), or       Hazar-susim (1 Chr. 4:31).
