callback          1. A scheme used in {event-driven} programs       where the program registers a {subroutine} (a "callback       handler") to handle a certain {event}.   The program does not       call the handler directly but when the event occurs, the       {run-time system} calls the handler, usually passing it       arguments to describe the event.          2. A {user authentication} scheme       used by some computers running {dial-up} services.   The user       dials in to the computer and gives his {user name} and       {password}.   The computer then hangs up the connection and       uses an {auto-dial} {modem} to call back to the user's       registered telephone number.   Thus, if an unauthorised person       discovers a user's password, the callback will go, not to him,       but to the owner of that login who will then know that his       account is under attack.          However, some {PABX}s can be fooled into thinking that the       caller has hung up by sending them a dial tone.   When the       computer tries to call out on the same line it is not actually       dialing through to the authorised user but is still connected       to the original caller.          3. {cost control callback}.          (2003-07-13)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cleopas       (abbreviation of Cleopatros), one of the two disciples with whom       Jesus conversed on the way to Emmaus on the day of the       resurrection (Luke 24:18). We know nothing definitely regarding       him. It is not certain that he was the Clopas of John 19:25, or       the Alphaeus of Matt. 10:3, although he may have been so.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cleophas       (in the spelling of this word _h_ is inserted by mistake from       Latin MSS.), rather Cleopas, which is the Greek form of the       word, while Clopas is the Aramaic form. In John 19:25 the       Authorized Version reads, "Mary, the wife of Clopas." The word       "wife" is conjecturally inserted here. If "wife" is rightly       inserted, then Mary was the mother of James the Less, and Clopas       is the same as Alphaeus (Matt. 10:3; 27:56).
