Any four-footed animal, that may be used for labor, food,             or sport; as, a beast of burden.                         A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast.                                                                               --Prov. xii.                                                                               10.          3.

[Obs.] --Chaucer.          Syn: {Beast}, {Brute}.          Usage: When we use these words in a figurative sense, as                   applicable to human beings, we think of beasts as mere                   animals governed by animal appetite; and of brutes as                   being destitute of reason or moral feeling, and                   governed by unrestrained passion. Hence we speak of                   beastly appetites; beastly indulgences, etc.; and of                   brutal manners; brutal inhumanity; brutal ferocity.                   So, also, we say of a drunkard, that he first made                   himself a beast, and then treated his family like a                   brute.

There is, however, a                   tendency, in present usage, to make the following                   distinction between them: 1. That beside be used only                   and always as a preposition, with the original meaning                   [bd]by the side of; [b8] as, to sit beside a fountain;                   or with the closely allied meaning [bd]aside from[b8],                   [bd]apart from[b8], or [bd]out of[b8]; as, this is                   beside our present purpose; to be beside one's self                   with joy. The adverbial sense to be wholly transferred                   to the cognate word. 2. That besides, as a                   preposition, take the remaining sense [bd]in addition                   to[b8], as, besides all this; besides the                   considerations here offered. [bd]There was a famine in                   the land besides the first famine.[b8] --Gen. xxvi. 1.                   And that it also take the adverbial sense of                   [bd]moreover[b8], [bd]beyond[b8], etc., which had been                   divided between the words; as, besides, there are                   other considerations which belong to this case. The                   following passages may serve to illustrate this use of                   the words:                               Lovely Thais sits beside thee.      --Dryden.                               Only be patient till we have appeased The                            multitude, beside themselves with fear. --Shak.                               It is beside my present business to enlarge on                            this speculation.                        --Locke.                               Besides this, there are persons in certain                            situations who are expected to be charitable.                                                                               --Bp.

bigot n.   [common] A person who is religiously attached to a    particular computer, language, operating system, editor, or other    tool (see {religious issues}).   Usually found with a specifier;    thus, `cray bigot', `ITS bigot', `APL bigot', `VMS bigot', `Berkeley    bigot'.   Real bigots can be distinguished from mere partisans or    zealots by the fact that they refuse to learn alternatives even when    the march of time and/or technology is threatening to obsolete the    favored tool.   It is truly said "You can tell a bigot, but you can't    tell him much."   Compare {weenie}, {Amiga Persecution Complex}.

BSD /B-S-D/ n.   [abbreviation for `Berkeley Software    Distribution'] a family of {{Unix}} versions for the {DEC} {VAX} and    PDP-11 developed by Bill Joy and others at {Berzerkeley} starting    around 1980, incorporating paged virtual memory, TCP/IP networking    enhancements, and many other features.   The BSD versions (4.1, 4.2,    and 4.3) and the commercial versions derived from them (SunOS,    ULTRIX, and Mt. Xinu) held the technical lead in the Unix world    until AT&T's successful standardization efforts after about 1986;    descendants are still widely popular.   Note that BSD versions going    back to 2.9 are often referred to by their version numbers, without    the BSD prefix.   See {4.2}, {{Unix}}, {USG Unix}.

busy-wait vi.   Used of human behavior, conveys that the subject    is busy waiting for someone or something, intends to move instantly    as soon as it shows up, and thus cannot do anything else at the    moment.   "Can't talk now, I'm busy-waiting till Bill gets off the    phone."          Technically, `busy-wait' means to wait on an event by {spin}ning    through a tight or timed-delay loop that polls for the event on each    pass, as opposed to setting up an interrupt handler and continuing    execution on another part of the task.   This is a wasteful    technique, best avoided on time-sharing systems where a busy-waiting    program may {hog} the processor.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Bajith       house, probably a city of Moab, which had a celebrated       idol-temple (Isa. 15:2). It has also been regarded as denoting       simply the temple of the idol of Moab as opposed to the "high       place."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Basket       There are five different Hebrew words so rendered in the       Authorized Version: (1.) A basket (Heb. sal, a twig or osier)       for holding bread (Gen. 40:16; Ex. 29:3, 23; Lev. 8:2, 26, 31;       Num. 6:15, 17, 19). Sometimes baskets were made of twigs peeled;       their manufacture was a recognized trade among the Hebrews.                (2.) That used (Heb. salsilloth') in gathering grapes (Jer.       6:9).                (3.) That in which the first fruits of the harvest were       presented, Heb. tene, (Deut. 26:2, 4). It was also used for       household purposes. In form it tapered downwards like that       called _corbis_ by the Romans.                (4.) A basket (Heb. kelub) having a lid, resembling a       bird-cage. It was made of leaves or rushes. The name is also       applied to fruit-baskets (Amos 8:1, 2).                (5.) A basket (Heb. dud) for carrying figs (Jer. 24:2), also       clay to the brick-yard (R.V., Ps. 81:6), and bulky articles (2       Kings 10:7). This word is also rendered in the Authorized       Version "kettle" (1 Sam. 2:14), "caldron" (2 Chr. 35:13),       "seething-pot" (Job 41:20).                In the New Testament mention is made of the basket (Gr.       kophinos, small "wicker-basket") for the "fragments" in the       miracle recorded Mark 6:43, and in that recorded Matt. 15:37       (Gr. spuris, large "rope-basket"); also of the basket in which       Paul escaped (Acts 9:25, Gr. spuris; 2 Cor. 11: 33, Gr. sargane,       "basket of plaited cords").
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Beast       This word is used of flocks or herds of grazing animals (Ex.       22:5; Num. 20:4, 8, 11; Ps. 78:48); of beasts of burden (Gen.       45:17); of eatable beasts (Prov. 9:2); and of swift beasts or       dromedaries (Isa. 60:6). In the New Testament it is used of a       domestic animal as property (Rev. 18:13); as used for food (1       Cor. 15:39), for service (Luke 10:34; Acts 23:24), and for       sacrifice (Acts 7:42).                When used in contradistinction to man (Ps. 36:6), it denotes a       brute creature generally, and when in contradistinction to       creeping things (Lev. 11:2-7; 27:26), a four-footed animal.                The Mosaic law required that beasts of labour should have rest       on the Sabbath (Ex. 20:10; 23:12), and in the Sabbatical year       all cattle were allowed to roam about freely, and eat whatever       grew in the fields (Ex. 23:11; Lev. 25:7). No animal could be       castrated (Lev. 22:24). Animals of different kinds were to be       always kept separate (Lev. 19:19; Deut. 22:10). Oxen when used       in threshing were not to be prevented from eating what was       within their reach (Deut. 25:4; 1 Cor.9:9).                This word is used figuratively of an infuriated multitude (1       Cor. 15:32; Acts 19:29; comp. Ps. 22:12, 16; Eccl. 3:18; Isa.       11:6-8), and of wicked men (2 Pet. 2:12). The four beasts of       Daniel 7:3, 17, 23 represent four kingdoms or kings.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Bigtha       garden, or gift of fortune, one of the seven eunuchs or       chamberlains who had charge of the harem of Ahasuerus (Esther       1:10).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Bucket       a vessel to draw water with (Isa. 40:15); used figuratively,       probably, of a numerous issue (Num. 24:7).
