Base \Base\ (b[amac]s), a. [OE. bass, F. bas, low, fr. LL.       bassus thick, fat, short, humble; cf. L. Bassus, a proper       name, and W. bas shallow. Cf. {Bass} a part in music.]       1. Of little, or less than the usual, height; of low growth;             as, base shrubs. [Archaic] --Shak.          2. Low in place or position. [Obs.] --Shak.          3. Of humble birth; or low degree; lowly; mean. [Archaic]             [bd]A pleasant and base swain.[b8] --Bacon.          4. Illegitimate by birth; bastard. [Archaic]                         Why bastard? wherefore base?               --Shak.          5. Of little comparative value, as metal inferior to gold and             silver, the precious metals.          6. Alloyed with inferior metal; debased; as, base coin; base             bullion.          7. Morally low. Hence: Low-minded; unworthy; without dignity             of sentiment; ignoble; mean; illiberal; menial; as, a base             fellow; base motives; base occupations. [bd]A cruel act of             a base and a cowardish mind.[b8] --Robynson (More's             Utopia). [bd]Base ingratitude.[b8] --Milton.          8. Not classical or correct.

(Law) Not held by honorable service; as, a base estate,             one held by services not honorable; held by villenage.             Such a tenure is called base, or low, and the tenant, a             base tenant.          {Base fee}, formerly, an estate held at the will of the lord;             now, a qualified fee. See note under {Fee}, n., 4.          {Base metal}. See under {Metal}.          Syn: Dishonorable; worthless; ignoble; low-minded; infamous;                sordid; degraded.          Usage: {Base}, {Vile}, {Mean}. These words, as expressing                   moral qualities, are here arranged in the order of                   their strength, the strongest being placed first. Base                   marks a high degree of moral turpitude; vile and mean                   denote, in different degrees, the want of what is                   valuable or worthy of esteem. What is base excites our                   abhorrence; what is vile provokes our disgust or                   indignation; what is mean awakens contempt. Base is                   opposed to high-minded; vile, to noble; mean, to                   liberal or generous. Ingratitude is base; sycophancy                   is vile; undue compliances are mean.

Bush \Bush\, n.

Whether       the LL. or G. form is the original is uncertain; if the LL.,       it is perh. from the same source as E. box a case. Cf.       {Ambush}, {Boscage}, {Bouquet}, {Box} a case.]       1. A thicket, or place abounding in trees or shrubs; a wild             forest.          Note: This was the original sense of the word, as in the                Dutch bosch, a wood, and was so used by Chaucer. In                this sense it is extensively used in the British                colonies, especially at the Cape of Good Hope, and also                in Australia and Canada; as, to live or settle in the                bush.          2.

A shrub or branch, properly, a branch of ivy (as sacred to             Bacchus), hung out at vintners' doors, or as a tavern             sign; hence, a tavern sign, and symbolically, the tavern             itself.                         If it be true that good wine needs no bush, 't is                      true that a good play needs no epilogue. --Shak.          5. (Hunting) The tail, or brush, of a fox.          {To beat about the bush}, to approach anything in a             round-about manner, instead of coming directly to it; -- a             metaphor taken from hunting.          {Bush bean} (Bot.), a variety of bean which is low and             requires no support ({Phaseolus vulgaris}, variety             {nanus}).

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
backoff          A {host} which has experienced a {collision} on a       {network} waits for a amount of time before attempting to       retransmit.   A random backoff minimises the probability that       the same nodes will collide again, even if they are using the       same backoff algorithm.   Increasing the backoff period after       each collision also helps to prevent repeated collisions,       especially when the network is heavily loaded.          An example algorithm is {binary exponential backoff}.          (1996-05-28)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
backup          (Sometimes "back up" when used as a verb) A       spare copy of a file, file system or other resource for use in       the event of failure or loss of the original.          The term is most commonly used to refer to a copy of all the       files on a computer's {disks} which is made periodically and       kept on {magnetic tape} or other removable medium (also called       a "{dump}").          This essential precaution is neglected by most new computer       users until the first time they experience a {disk crash} or       accidentally delete the only copy of the file they have been       working on for the last six months.          Ideally the backup copies should be kept at a different site       or in a fire safe since, though your hardware may be insured       against fire, the data on it is almost certainly neither       insured nor easily replaced.          See also {differential backup}, {incremental backup}, {full       backup}.   Compare {archive}.          (2003-06-22)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Bishop       an overseer. In apostolic times, it is quite manifest that there       was no difference as to order between bishops and elders or       presbyters (Acts 20:17-28; 1 Pet. 5:1, 2; Phil. 1:1; 1 Tim. 3).       The term bishop is never once used to denote a different office       from that of elder or presbyter. These different names are       simply titles of the same office, "bishop" designating the       function, namely, that of oversight, and "presbyter" the dignity       appertaining to the office. Christ is figuratively called "the       bishop [episcopos] of souls" (1 Pet. 2:25).
