From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
analogue          (US: "analog") A description of a continuously       variable signal or a circuit or device designed to handle such       signals.   The opposite is "discrete" or "{digital}".          Analogue circuits are much harder to design and analyse than       digital ones because the designer must take into account       effects such as the gain, linearity and power handling of       components, the resistance, capacitance and inductance of PCB       tracks, wires and connectors, interference between signals,       power supply stability and more.   A digital circuit design,       especially for high switching speeds, must also take these       factors into account if it is to work reliably, but they are       usually less critical because most digital components will       function correctly within a range of parameters whereas such       variations will corrupt the outputs of an analogue circuit.          See also {analogue computer}.          (1995-11-14)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
analogue computer          A machine or electronic circuit designed       to work on numerical data represented by some physical       quantity (e.g. rotation or displacement) or electrical       quantity (e.g. voltage or charge) which varies continuously,       in contrast to {digital} signals which are either 0 or 1.          For example, the turning of a wheel or changes in voltage can       be used as input.   Analogue computers are said to operate in       {real time} and are used for research in design where many       different shapes and speeds can be tried out quickly.   A       computer model of a car suspension allows the designer to see       the effects of changing size, stiffness and damping.          (1995-05-01)

Annual Change Traffic          (ACT) The fraction of the software product's       {source code} which changes during a year, either through       addition or modification.   The ACT can be used to determine       the product size in order to estimate software maintenance       effort.          (1996-05-29)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ahimelech       brother of the king, the son of Ahitub and father of Abiathar (1       Sam. 22:20-23). He descended from Eli in the line of Ithamar. In       1 Chr. 18:16 he is called Abimelech, and is probably the same as       Ahiah (1 Sam. 14:3, 18). He was the twelfth high priest, and       officiated at Nob, where he was visited by David (to whom and       his companions he gave five loaves of the showbread) when he       fled from Saul (1 Sam. 21:1-9). He was summoned into Saul's       presence, and accused, on the information of Doeg the Edomite,       of disloyalty because of his kindness to David; whereupon the       king commanded that he, with the other priests who stood beside       him (86 in all), should be put to death. This sentence was       carried into execution by Doeg in the most cruel manner (1 Sam.       22:9-23). Possibly Abiathar had a son also called Ahimelech, or       the two names, as some think, may have been accidentally       transposed in 2 Sam. 8:17; 1 Chr. 18:16, marg.; 24:3, 6, 31.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Amalek       dweller in a valley, the son of Eliphaz and grandson of Esau       (Gen. 36:12; 1 Chr. 1:36); the chief of an Idumean tribe (Gen.       36:16). His mother was a Horite, a tribe whose territory the       descendants of Esau had seized.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Amalekite       a tribe that dwelt in Arabia Petraea, between the Dead Sea and       the Red Sea. They were not the descendants of Amalek, the son of       Eliphaz, for they existed in the days of Abraham (Gen. 14:7).       They were probably a tribe that migrated from the shores of the       Persian Gulf and settled in Arabia. "They dwelt in the land of       the south...from Havilah until thou comest to Shur" (Num. 13:29;       1 Sam. 15:7). They were a pastoral, and hence a nomadic race.       Their kings bore the hereditary name of Agag (Num. 24:7; 1 Sam.       15:8). They attempted to stop the Israelites when they marched       through their territory (Deut. 25:18), attacking them at       Rephidim (Ex. 17:8-13; comp. Deut. 25:17; 1 Sam. 15:2). They       afterwards attacked the Israelites at Hormah (Num. 14:45). We       read of them subsequently as in league with the Moabites (Judg.       3:13) and the Midianites (Judg. 6:3). Saul finally desolated       their territory and destroyed their power (1 Sam. 14:48; 15:3),       and David recovered booty from them (1 Sam. 30:18-20). In the       Babylonian inscriptions they are called Sute, in those of Egypt       Sittiu, and the Amarna tablets include them under the general       name of Khabbati, or "plunderers."
