   socket
  
      The {Berkeley Unix} mechansim for creating a
      virtual connection between processes.   Sockets interface
      {Unix}'s {standard I/O} with its {network} communication
      facilities.   They can be of two types, stream (bi-directional)
      or {datagram} (fixed length destination-addressed messages).
      The socket library function socket() creates a communications
      end-point or socket and returns a {file descriptor} with which
      to access that socket.   The socket has associated with it a
      socket address, consisting of a {port} number and the local
      host's network address.

   Socket 370
  
      (PGA370) A physical and
      electrical specification for a {motherboard} {processor}
      socket.   Socket 370 uses a square {SPGA} {ZIF} socket with 370
      pins, arranged 37x37 (sometimes described as 19x19).
  
      {Intel} originally designed Socket 370 for {PPGA} Celeron
      processors.   Newer Socket 370 motherboards additionally
      support {FC-PGA} Celeron and {Pentium III} processors.
  
      The difference between the two versions is electrical;
      some pins are used differently and voltage requirements have
      been changed from Intel's {VRM 8.2} to {VRM 8.4}.   In
      addition, Celeron processors require a 66 MHz front side bus
      ({FSB}), and Pentium III processors require a 100/133 MHz FSB.
  
      Some older Socket 370 motherboards support VRM 8.4 and
      variable bus speeds, so adapters are available that convert
      the socket pinout to allow FC-PGA processors to work.
  
      {VIA}'s {Cyrix III} processor was designed to work with
      Socket 370 motherboards.

   Socket 7
  
      A physical and electrical specification
      for the {x86 processor socket} matching the pins on {Pentium}
      {microprocessors} manufactured by {Intel}, and compatibles
      made by {Cyrix}, {AMD} and others.   Any {CPU} chip conforming
      to this specification can be plugged into any conforming
      {motherboard}.
  
      Supported processors include: 2.5V - 3.5V {Pentiums} 75-233
      MHz, AMD {K5} through {K6}, Cyrix {6x86} (and MX) P120 - P233.
  
      Socket 7 uses a {SPGA} socket, either a 296 pin {LIF} or a 321
      pin {ZIF} arranged as 37x37 or 19x19 (depending on who you
      speak to!).
  
      See also {Super 7}.
  
      Intel's {Pentium II} processor uses {Slot 1} mounting.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sect
      (Gr. hairesis, usually rendered "heresy", Acts 24:14; 1 Chr.
      11:19; Gal. 5:20, etc.), meaning properly "a choice," then "a
      chosen manner of life," and then "a religious party," as the
      "sect" of the Sadducees (Acts 5:17), of the Pharisees (15:5),
      the Nazarenes, i.e., Christians (24:5). It afterwards came to be
      used in a bad sense, of those holding pernicious error,
      divergent forms of belief (2 Pet. 2:1; Gal. 5:20).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Succoth
      booths. (1.) The first encampment of the Israelites after
      leaving Ramesses (Ex. 12:37); the civil name of Pithom (q.v.).
     
         (2.) A city on the east of Jordan, identified with Tell
      Dar'ala, a high mound, a mass of debris, in the plain north of
      Jabbok and about one mile from it (Josh. 13:27). Here Jacob
      (Gen. 32:17, 30; 33:17), on his return from Padan-aram after his
      interview with Esau, built a house for himself and made booths
      for his cattle. The princes of this city churlishly refused to
      afford help to Gideon and his 300 men when "faint yet pursuing"
      they followed one of the bands of the fugitive Midianites after
      the great victory at Gilboa. After overtaking and routing this
      band at Karkor, Gideon on his return visited the rulers of the
      city with severe punishment. "He took the elders of the city,
      and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught
      the men of Succoth" (Judg. 8:13-16). At this place were erected
      the foundries for casting the metal-work for the temple (1 Kings
      7:46).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Succoth, tents; tabernacles
