From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
cat [from `catenate' via {{Unix}} `cat(1)'] vt.   1. [techspeak]    To spew an entire file to the screen or some other output sink    without pause.   2. By extension, to dump large amounts of data at an    unprepared target or with no intention of browsing it carefully.    Usage: considered silly.   Rare outside Unix sites.   See also {dd},    {BLT}.          Among Unix fans, `cat(1)' is considered an excellent example of    user-interface design, because it delivers the file contents without    such verbosity as spacing or headers between the files, and because    it does not require the files to consist of lines of text, but works    with any sort of data.          Among Unix haters, `cat(1)' is considered the {canonical} example    of _bad_ user-interface design, because of its woefully unobvious    name.   It is far more often used to {blast} a file to standard    output than to concatenate two files.   The name `cat' for the former    operation is just as unintuitive as, say, LISP's {cdr}.          Of such oppositions are {holy wars} made....
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
CDA /C-D-A/   The "Communications Decency Act" of 1996, passed    on {Black Thursday} as section 502 of a major telecommunications    reform bill. The CDA made it a federal crime in the USA to send a    communication which is "obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, or    indecent, with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass another    person." It also threatened with imprisonment anyone who "knowingly"    makes accessible to minors any message that "describes, in terms    patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards,    sexual or excretory activities or organs".          While the CDA was sold as a measure to protect minors from the    putative evils of pornography, the repressive political aims of the    bill were laid bare by the Hyde amendment, which intended to outlaw    discussion of abortion on the Internet.          To say that this direct attack on First Amendment free-speech    rights was not well received on the Internet would be putting it    mildly.   A firestorm of protest followed, including a February 29th    mass demonstration by thousands of netters who turned their {home    page}s black for 48 hours.   Several civil-rights groups and    computing/telecommunications companies mounted a constitutional    challenge.   The CDA was demolished by a strongly-worded decision    handed down on in 8th-circuit Federal court and subsequently    affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court on 26 June 1997 (`White    Thursday'). See also {Exon}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
chad /chad/ n.   1. [common] The perforated edge strips on    printer paper, after they have been separated from the printed    portion.   Also called {selvage}, {perf}, and {ripoff}.   2. obs. The    confetti-like paper bits punched out of cards or paper tape; this    has also been called `chaff', `computer confetti', and `keypunch    droppings'.   It's reported that this was very old Army slang, and it    may now be mainstream; it has been reported seen (1993) in    directions for a card-based voting machine in California.          Historical note: One correspondent believes `chad' (sense 2)    derives from the Chadless keypunch (named for its inventor), which    cut little u-shaped tabs in the card to make a hole when the tab    folded back, rather than punching out a circle/rectangle; it was    clear that if the Chadless keypunch didn't make them, then the stuff    that other keypunches made had to be `chad'.   There is a legend that    the word was originally acronymic, standing for "Card Hole Aggregate    Debris", but this has all the earmarks of a {backronym}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
choad /chohd/ n.   Synonym for `penis' used in alt.tasteless and    popularized by the denizens thereof.   They say: "We think maybe it's    from Middle English but we're all too damned lazy to check the OED."    [I'm not.   It isn't. --ESR] This term is alleged to have been    inherited through 1960s underground comics, and to have been    recently sighted in the Beavis and Butthead cartoons.   Speakers of    the Hindi, Bengali and Gujarati languages have confirmed that    `choad' is in fact an Indian vernacular word equivalent to `fuck';    it is therefore likely to have entered English slang via the British    Raj.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
code n.   The stuff that software writers write, either in    source form or after translation by a compiler or assembler.   Often    used in opposition to "data", which is the stuff that code operates    on.   This is a mass noun, as in "How much code does it take to do a    {bubble sort}?", or "The code is loaded at the high end of RAM."    Anyone referring to software as "the software codes" is probably a    {newbie} or a {suit}.

(Or "chaff", "computer confetti", "keypunch droppings") The       confetti-like bits punched out of {punched cards} or {paper       tape} which collected in the {chad box}.          One of the {Jargon File}'s correspondents believed that "chad"       derived from the {chadless keypunch}.          [{Jargon File}]          (1997-07-18)

chat          Any system that allows any       number of logged-in users to have a typed, real-time, on-line       conversation, either by all users logging into the same       computer, or more commonly nowadays, via a {network}.          The medium of {chat} is descended from {talk}, but the terms       (and the media) have been distinct since at least the early       1990s.   {talk} is prototypically for a small number of people,       generally with no provision for {channels}.   In {chat}       systems, however, there are many {channels} in which any       number of people can talk; and users may send private       (one-to-one) messages.          Some well known chat systems to date (1998) include {IRC},       {ICQ} and {Palace}.          Chat systems have given rise to a distinctive style combining       the immediacy of talking with all the precision (and       verbosity) that written language entails.   It is difficult to       communicate inflection, though conventions have arisen to help       with this.          The conventions of chat systems include special items of       jargon, generally abbreviations meant to save typing, which       are not used orally.   E.g., {re}, {BCNU}, {BBL}, {BTW}, {CUL},       {FWIW}, {FYA}, {FYI}, {IMHO}, {OTT}, {TNX}, {WRT}, {WTF},       {WTH}, {}, {}, {BBL}, {HHOK}, {NHOH}, {ROTFL}, {AFK},       {b4}, {TTFN}, {TTYL}, {OIC}, {re}.          Much of the chat style is identical to (and probably derived       from) {Morse code} jargon used by ham-radio amateurs since the       1920s, and there is, not surprisingly, some overlap with {TDD}       jargon.   Most of the jargan was in use in {talk} systems.       Many of these expressions are also common in {Usenet} {news}       and {electronic mail} and some have seeped into popular       culture, as with {emoticons}.          The {MUD} community uses a mixture of {emoticons}, a few of       the more natural of the old-style {talk mode} abbreviations,       and some of the "social" list above; specifically, MUD       respondents report use of {BBL}, {BRB}, {LOL}, {b4}, {BTW},       {WTF}, {TTFN}, and {WTH}.   The use of "{re}" or "rehi" is also       common; in fact, MUDders are fond of "re-" compounds and will       frequently "rehug" or "rebonk" (see {bonk/oif}) people.   In       general, though, MUDders express a preference for typing       things out in full rather than using abbreviations; this may       be due to the relative youth of the MUD cultures, which tend       to include many touch typists.   Abbreviations specific to MUDs       include: {FOAD}, ppl (people), THX (thanks), UOK? (are you       OK?).          Some {BIFF}isms (notably the variant spelling "d00d") and       aspects of {ASCIIbonics} appear to be passing into wider use       among some subgroups of MUDders and are already pandemic on       {chat} systems in general.          See also {hakspek}.          {Suck article "Screaming in a Vacuum"       (http://www.suck.com/daily/96/10/23/)}.          (1998-01-25)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
City       The earliest mention of city-building is that of Enoch, which       was built by Cain (Gen. 4:17). After the confusion of tongues,       the descendants of Nimrod founded several cities (10:10-12).       Next, we have a record of the cities of the Canaanites, Sidon,       Gaza, Sodom, etc. (10:12, 19; 11:3, 9; 36:31-39). The earliest       description of a city is that of Sodom (19:1-22). Damascus is       said to be the oldest existing city in the world. Before the       time of Abraham there were cities in Egypt (Num. 13:22). The       Israelites in Egypt were employed in building the "treasure       cities" of Pithom and Raamses (Ex. 1:11); but it does not seem       that they had any cities of their own in Goshen (Gen. 46:34;       47:1-11). In the kingdom of Og in Bashan there were sixty "great       cities with walls," and twenty-three cities in Gilead partly       rebuilt by the tribes on the east of Jordan (Num. 21:21, 32, 33,       35; 32:1-3, 34-42; Deut. 3:4, 5, 14; 1 Kings 4:13). On the west       of Jordan were thirty-one "royal cities" (Josh. 12), besides       many others spoken of in the history of Israel.                A fenced city was a city surrounded by fortifications and high       walls, with watch-towers upon them (2 Chr. 11:11; Deut. 3:5).       There was also within the city generally a tower to which the       citizens might flee when danger threatened them (Judg. 9:46-52).                A city with suburbs was a city surrounded with open       pasture-grounds, such as the forty-eight cities which were given       to the Levites (Num. 35:2-7). There were six cities of refuge,       three on each side of Jordan, namely, Kadesh, Shechem, Hebron,       on the west of Jordan; and on the east, Bezer, Ramoth-gilead,       and Golan. The cities on each side of the river were nearly       opposite each other. The regulations concerning these cities are       given in Num. 35:9-34; Deut. 19:1-13; Ex. 21:12-14.                When David reduced the fortress of the Jebusites which stood       on Mount Zion, he built on the site of it a palace and a city,       which he called by his own name (1 Chr. 11:5), the city of       David. Bethlehem is also so called as being David's native town       (Luke 2:4).                Jerusalem is called the Holy City, the holiness of the temple       being regarded as extending in some measure over the whole city       (Neh. 11:1).                Pithom and Raamses, built by the Israelites as "treasure       cities," were not places where royal treasures were kept, but       were fortified towns where merchants might store their goods and       transact their business in safety, or cities in which munitions       of war were stored. (See {PITHOM}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Coat       the tunic worn like the shirt next the skin (Lev. 16:4; Cant.       5:3; 2 Sam. 15:32; Ex. 28:4; 29:5). The "coats of skins"       prepared by God for Adam and Eve were probably nothing more than       aprons (Gen. 3:21). This tunic was sometimes woven entire       without a seam (John 19:23); it was also sometimes of "many       colours" (Gen. 37:3; R.V. marg., "a long garment with sleeves").       The "fisher's coat" of John 21:7 was obviously an outer garment       or cloak, as was also the "coat" made by Hannah for Samuel (1       Sam. 2:19). (See {DRESS}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cuthah       one of the Babylonian cities or districts from which Shalmaneser       transplanted certain colonists to Samaria (2 Kings 17:24). Some       have conjectured that the "Cutheans" were identical with the       "Cossaeans" who inhabited the hill-country to the north of the       river Choaspes. Cuthah is now identified with Tell Ibrahim, 15       miles north-east of Babylon.

Its economy is hobbled by political turmoil,    conflict with Libya, drought, and food shortages. Consequently the    economy has shown little progress in recent years in overcoming a    severe setback brought on by civil war in the late 1980s. More than    80% of the work force is involved in subsistence farming and fishing.    Cotton is the major cash crop, accounting for at least half of    exports. Chad is highly dependent on foreign aid, especially food    credits, given chronic shortages in several regions. Of all the    Francophone countries in Africa, Chad has benefited the least from the    50% devaluation of their currencies on 12 January 1994. Despite an    increase in external financial aid and favorable price increases for    cotton - the primary source of foreign exchange - the corrupt and    enfeebled government bureaucracy continues to dampen economic    enterprise by neglecting payments to domestic suppliers and public    sector salaries. Oil production in the Lake Chad area remains a    distant prospect and the subsistence-driven economy probably will    continue to limp along in the near term.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $2.8 billion (1993    est.)       National product real growth rate: 3.5% (1993 est.)       National product per capita: $530 (1993 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): -4.1% (1992)       Unemployment rate: NA%       Budget:    revenues: $120 million    expenditures: $363 million, including capital expenditures of $104    million (1992 est.)       Exports: $190 million (f.o.b., 1992)    commodities: cotton 48%, cattle 35%, textiles 5%, fish    partners: France, Nigeria, Cameroon       Imports: $261 million (f.o.b., 1992)    commodities: machinery and transportation equipment 39%, industrial    goods 20%, petroleum products 13%, foodstuffs 9%; note - excludes    military equipment    partners: US, France, Nigeria, Cameroon       External debt: $492 million (December 1990 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate 2.7% (1992 est.); accounts for    nearly 15% of GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 40,000 kW    production: 80 million kWh    consumption per capita: 13 kWh (1993)       Industries: cotton textile mills, slaughterhouses, brewery, natron    (sodium carbonate), soap, cigarettes       Agriculture: accounts for about 45% of GDP; largely subsistence    farming; cotton most important cash crop; food crops include sorghum,    millet, peanuts, rice, potatoes, manioc; livestock - cattle, sheep,    goats, camels; self-sufficient in food in years of adequate rainfall       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY70-89), $198 million;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1970-89), $1.5 billion; OPEC bilateral aid (1979-89), $28 million;    Communist countries (1970-89), $80 million       Currency: 1 CFA franc (CFAF) = 100 centimes       Exchange rates: Communaute Financiere Africaine Francs (CFAF) per US$1    - 529.43 (January 1995), 555.20 (1994), 283.16 (1993), 264.69 (1992),    282.11 (1991), 272.26 (1990)    note: beginning 12 January 1994 the CFA franc was devalued to CFAF 100    per French franc from CFAF 50 at which it had been fixed since 1948       Fiscal year: calendar year       Chad:Transportation       Railroads: 0 km       Highways:    total: 31,322 km    paved: bituminous 263 km    unpaved: gravel, crushed stone 7,069 km; earth 23,990 km       Inland waterways: 2,000 km navigable       Ports: none       Airports:    total: 66    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 3    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 1    with paved runways under 914 m: 23    with unpaved runways over 3,047 m: 1    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 17    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 21       Chad:Communications       Telephone system: NA telephones; primitive system    local: NA    intercity: fair system of radio communication stations for intercity    links    international: 1 INTELSAT (Atlantic Ocean) earth station       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 6, FM 1, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: NA; note - limited TV service; many facilties are    inoperative    televisions: NA       Chad:Defense Forces       Branches: Armed Forces (includes Ground Force, Air Force, and    Gendarmerie), Republican Guard, Police       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 1,307,210; males fit for    military service 679,640; males reach military age (20) annually    54,945 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $74 million, 11.1% of    GDP (1994)
