Baum82 \Bau`m[82]"\, a. Designating or conforming to either of the scales used by the French chemist Antoine Baum[82] in the graduation of his hydrometers; of or relating to Baum[82]'s scales or hydrometers. There are two Baum[82] hydrometers. One, which is used with liquids heavier than water, sinks to 0[deg] in pure water, and to 15[deg] in a 15 per cent salt solution; the other, for liquids lighter than water, sinks to 0[deg] in a 10 per cent salt solution and to 10[deg] in pure water. In both cases the graduation, based on the distance between these fundamental points, is continued along the stem as far as desired. Note: Since all the degrees on a Baum[82] scale are thus equal in length, while those on a specific-gravity scale grow smaller as the density increases, there is no simple relation between degrees B[82]. and Sp. gr. However, readings on Baum[82]s scale may be approximately reduced to specific gravities by the following formul[91] (x in each case being the reading on Baum[82]'s scale) : (a) for liquids heavier than water, sp. gr. = 144 [div] (144 - x); (b) for liquids lighter than water, sp. gr. = 144 [div] (134 + x).

This verb is defective, and the parts lacking are supplied by verbs from other roots, is, was, which have no radical connection with be. The various forms, am, are, is, was, were, etc., are considered grammatically as parts of the verb [bd]to be[b8], which, with its conjugational forms, is often called the substantive verb. [?]97.

But have is now more commonly used as the auxiliary, though expressing a different sense; as, [bd]Ye have come too late -- but ye are come.

Afterwards be was used, as in our Bible: [bd]They that be with us are more than they that be with them.[b8] --2 Kings vi. 16. Ben was also the old infinitive: [bd]To ben of such power.[b8] --R. of Gloucester. Be is used as a form of the present subjunctive: [bd]But if it be a question of words and names.[b8] --Acts xviii. 15. But the indicative forms, is and are, with if, are more commonly used. {Be it so}, a phrase of supposition, equivalent to suppose it to be so; or of permission, signifying let it be so. --Shak. {If so be}, in case. {To be from}, to have come from; as, from what place are you ? I am from Chicago. {To let be}, to omit, or leave untouched; to let alone. [bd]Let be, therefore, my vengeance to dissuade.[b8] --Spenser. Syn: {To be}, {Exist}. Usage: The verb to be, except in a few rare case, like that of Shakespeare's [bd]To be, or not to be[b8], is used simply as a copula, to connect a subject with its predicate; as, man is mortal; the soul is immortal. The verb to exist is never properly used as a mere copula, but points to things that stand forth, or have a substantive being; as, when the soul is freed from all corporeal alliance, then it truly exists. It is not, therefore, properly synonymous with to be when used as a copula, though occasionally made so by some writers for the sake of variety; as in the phrase [bd]there exists [is] no reason for laying new taxes.[b8] We may, indeed, say, [bd]a friendship has long existed between them,[b8] instead of saying, [bd]there has long been a friendship between them;[b8] but in this case, exist is not a mere copula. It is used in its appropriate sense to mark the friendship as having been long in existence.

beam vt. [from Star Trek Classic's "Beam me up, Scotty!"] 1. To transfer {softcopy} of a file electronically; most often in combining forms such as `beam me a copy' or `beam that over to his site'. 2. Palm Pilot users very commonly use this term for the act of exchanging bits via the infrared links on their machines (this term seams to have originated with the ill-fated Newton Message Pad). Compare {blast}, {snarf}, {BLT}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
bum 1. vt. To make highly efficient, either in time or space, often at the expense of clarity. "I managed to bum three more instructions out of that code." "I spent half the night bumming the interrupt code." In 1996, this term and the practice it describes are semi-obsolete. In {elder days}, John McCarthy (inventor of {LISP}) used to compare some efficiency-obsessed hackers among his students to "ski bums"; thus, optimization became "program bumming", and eventually just "bumming". 2. To squeeze out excess; to remove something in order to improve whatever it was removed from (without changing function; this distinguishes the process from a {featurectomy}). 3. n. A small change to an algorithm, program, or hardware device to make it more efficient. "This hardware bum makes the jump instruction faster." Usage: now uncommon, largely superseded by v. {tune} (and n. {tweak}, {hack}), though none of these exactly capture sense 2. All these uses are rare in Commonwealth hackish, because in the parent dialects of English the noun `bum' is a rude synonym for `buttocks' and the verb `bum' for buggery.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
bum 1. To make highly efficient, either in time or space, often at the expense of clarity. "I managed to bum three more instructions out of that code." "I spent half the night bumming the interrupt code." In {elder days}, {John McCarthy} (inventor of {Lisp}) used to compare some efficiency-obsessed hackers among his students to "ski bums"; thus, optimisation became "program bumming", and eventually just "bumming". 2. To squeeze out excess; to remove something in order to improve whatever it was removed from (without changing function; this distinguishes the process from a {featurectomy}). 3. A small change to an algorithm, program, or hardware device to make it more efficient. "This hardware bum makes the jump instruction faster." Usage: now uncommon, largely superseded by v. {tune} (and {tweak}, {hack}), though none of these exactly capture sense 2. All these uses are rare in Commonwealth hackish, because in the parent dialects of English "bum" is a rude synonym for "buttocks". [{Jargon File}]

Beam occurs in the Authorized Version as the rendering of various Hebrew words. In 1 Sam. 17:7, it means a weaver's frame or principal beam; in Hab. 2:11, a crossbeam or girder; 2 Kings 6:2, 5, a cross-piece or rafter of a house; 1 Kings 7:6, an architectural ornament as a projecting step or moulding; Ezek. 41:25, a thick plank. In the New Testament the word occurs only in Matt. 7:3, 4, 5, and Luke 6:41, 42, where it means (Gr. dokos) a large piece of wood used for building purposes, as contrasted with "mote" (Gr. karphos), a small piece or mere splinter. "Mote" and "beam" became proverbial for little and great faults.
