From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   cycle   1. n. The basic unit of computation.   What every hacker
   wants more of (noted hacker Bill Gosper described himself as a
   "cycle junkie"). One can describe an instruction as taking so many
   `clock cycles'.   Often the computer can access its memory once on
   every clock cycle, and so one speaks also of `memory cycles'.   These
   are technical meanings of {cycle}.   The jargon meaning comes from
   the observation that there are only so many cycles per second, and
   when you are sharing a computer the cycles get divided up among the
   users.   The more cycles the computer spends working on your program
   rather than someone else's, the faster your program will run.
   That's why every hacker wants more cycles: so he can spend less time
   waiting for the computer to respond.   2. By extension, a notional
   unit of _human_ thought power, emphasizing that lots of things
   compete for the typical hacker's think time.   "I refused to get
   involved with the Rubik's Cube back when it was big.   Knew I'd burn
   too many cycles on it if I let myself."   3. vt. Syn. {bounce} (sense
   4), {120 reset}; from the phrase `cycle power'. "Cycle the machine
   again, that serial port's still hung."

      A basic unit of computation, one period of a computer
      {clock}.
  
      Each {instruction} takes a number of clock cycles.   Often the
      computer can access its memory once on every clock cycle, and
      so one speaks also of "memory cycles".
  
      Every {hacker} wants more cycles (noted hacker {Bill Gosper}
      describes himself as a "cycle junkie").   There are only so
      many cycles per second, and when you are sharing a computer
      the cycles get divided up among the users.   The more cycles
      the computer spends working on your program rather than
      someone else's, the faster your program will run.   That's why
      every hacker wants more cycles: so he can spend less time
      waiting for the computer to respond.
  
      The use of the term "cycle" for a computer clock period can
      probably be traced back to the rotation of a generator
      generating alternating current though computers generally use
      a clock signal which is more like a {square wave}.
      Interestingly, the earliest mechanical calculators,
      e.g. Babbage's {Difference Engine}, really did have parts
      which rotated in true cycles.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Cyclo
  
      (Cyclomatic complexity tool) A {C} and
      {C++} code analysis tool by Roger D. Binns.   It measures
      {cyclomatic complexity}, shows function calls, and can draw
      {flowgraphs} of {ANSI C} and {C++} code.   It requires {Lex}
      and {C++}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Chesil
      ungodly, a town in the south of Judah (Josh. 15:30); probably
      the same as Bethul (19:4) and Bethuel (1 Chr. 4:30); now
      Khelasa.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Chisleu
      the name adopted from the Babylonians by the Jews after the
      Captivity for the third civil, or ninth ecclesiastical, month
      (Neh. 1:1; Zech. 7:1). It corresponds nearly with the moon in
      November.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Cockle
      occurs only in Job 31:40 (marg., "noisome weeds"), where it is
      the rendering of a Hebrew word (b'oshah) which means
      "offensive," "having a bad smell," referring to some weed
      perhaps which has an unpleasant odour. Or it may be regarded as
      simply any noisome weed, such as the "tares" or darnel of Matt.
      13:30. In Isa. 5:2, 4 the plural form is rendered "wild grapes."
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Chesil, foolishness
  

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Chisleu, Cisleu, Casleu, rashness; confidence
