From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   cathedral n.,adj.   [see {bazaar} for derivation] The
   `classical' mode of software engineering long thought to be
   necessarily implied by {Brooks's Law}.   Features small teams, tight
   project control, and long release intervals.   This term came into
   use after analysis of the Linux experience suggested there might be
   something wrong (or at least incomplete) in the classical
   assumptions.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   cathode ray tube
  
      (CRT) An electrical device for displaying images by
      exciting phosphor dots with a scanned electron beam.   CRTs are
      found in computer {VDU}s and {monitors}, televisions and
      oscilloscopes.   The first commercially practical CRT was
      perfected on 29 January 1901 by Allen B DuMont.
  
      A large glass envelope containing a negative electrode (the
      cathode) emits electrons (formerly called "cathode rays") when
      heated, as in a {vacuum tube}.   The electrons are accelerated
      across a large voltage gradient toward the flat surface of
      the tube (the screen) which is covered with phosphor.   When an
      electron strikes the phosphor, light is emitted.   The electron
      beam is deflected by electromagnetic coils around the outside
      of the tube so that it scans across the screen, usually in
      horizontal stripes.   This scan pattern is known as a {raster}.
      By controlling the current in the beam, the brightness at any
      particular point (roughly a "{pixel}") can be varied.
  
      Different phosphors have different "{persistence}" - the
      length of time for which they glow after being struck by
      electrons.   If the scanning is done fast enough, the eye sees
      a steady image, due to both the persistence of the phospor and
      of the eye itself.   CRTs also differ in their {dot pitch},
      which determines their spatial {resolution}, and in whether
      they use {interlace} or not.
