check n.   A hardware-detected error condition, most commonly    used to refer to actual hardware failures rather than    software-induced traps.   E.g., a `parity check' is the result of a    hardware-detected parity error.   Recorded here because the word    often humorously extended to non-technical problems. For example,    the term `child check' has been used to refer to the problems caused    by a small child who is curious to know what happens when s/he    presses all the cute buttons on a computer's console (of course,    this particular problem could have been prevented with    {molly-guard}s).

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
cache          /kash/ A small fast memory holding       recently accessed data, designed to speed up subsequent access       to the same data.   Most often applied to processor-memory       access but also used for a local copy of data accessible over       a network etc.          When data is read from, or written to, {main memory} a copy is       also saved in the cache, along with the associated main memory       address.   The cache monitors addresses of subsequent reads to       see if the required data is already in the cache.   If it is (a       {cache hit}) then it is returned immediately and the main       memory read is aborted (or not started).   If the data is not       cached (a {cache miss}) then it is fetched from main memory       and also saved in the cache.          The cache is built from faster memory chips than main memory       so a cache hit takes much less time to complete than a normal       memory access.   The cache may be located on the same       {integrated circuit} as the {CPU}, in order to further reduce       the access time.   In this case it is often known as {primary       cache} since there may be a larger, slower {secondary cache}       outside the CPU chip.          The most important characteristic of a cache is its {hit rate}       - the fraction of all memory accesses which are satisfied from       the cache.   This in turn depends on the cache design but       mostly on its size relative to the main memory.   The size is       limited by the cost of fast memory chips.          The hit rate also depends on the access pattern of the       particular program being run (the sequence of addresses being       read and written).   Caches rely on two properties of the       access patterns of most programs: temporal locality - if       something is accessed once, it is likely to be accessed again       soon, and spatial locality - if one memory location is       accessed then nearby memory locations are also likely to be       accessed.   In order to exploit spatial locality, caches often       operate on several words at a time, a "{cache line}" or "cache       block".   Main memory reads and writes are whole {cache lines}.          When the processor wants to write to main memory, the data is       first written to the cache on the assumption that the       processor will probably read it again soon.   Various different       policies are used.   In a {write-through} cache, data is       written to main memory at the same time as it is cached.   In a       {write-back} cache it is only written to main memory when it       is forced out of the cache.          If all accesses were writes then, with a write-through policy,       every write to the cache would necessitate a main memory       write, thus slowing the system down to main memory speed.       However, statistically, most accesses are reads and most of       these will be satisfied from the cache.   Write-through is       simpler than write-back because an entry that is to be       replaced can just be overwritten in the cache as it will       already have been copied to main memory whereas write-back       requires the cache to initiate a main memory write of the       flushed entry followed (for a processor read) by a main memory       read.   However, write-back is more efficient because an entry       may be written many times in the cache without a main memory       access.          When the cache is full and it is desired to cache another line       of data then a cache entry is selected to be written back to       main memory or "flushed".   The new line is then put in its       place.   Which entry is chosen to be flushed is determined by a       "{replacement algorithm}".          Some processors have separate instruction and data caches.       Both can be active at the same time, allowing an instruction       fetch to overlap with a data read or write.   This separation       also avoids the possibility of bad {cache conflict} between       say the instructions in a loop and some data in an array which       is accessed by that loop.          See also {direct mapped cache}, {fully associative cache},       {sector mapping}, {set associative cache}.          (1997-06-25)

Cyc          A large {knowledge-based system}.          Cyc is a very large, multi-contextual {knowledge base} and       {inference engine}, the development of which started at the       {Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation} (MCC)       in Austin, Texas during the early 1980s.          Over the past eleven years the members of the Cyc team, lead       by {Doug Lenat}, have added to the knowledge base a huge       amount of fundamental human knowledge: {facts}, rules of       thumb, and {heuristics} for reasoning about the objects and       events of modern everyday life.          Cyc is an attempt to do symbolic {AI} on a massive scale.   It       is not based on numerical methods such as statistical       probabilities, nor is it based on {neural networks} or {fuzzy       logic}.   All of the knowledge in Cyc is represented       {declaratively} in the form of logical {assertions}.   Cyc       presently contains approximately 400,000 significant       assertions, which include simple statements of fact, rules       about what conclusions to draw if certain statements of fact       are satisfied, and rules about how to reason with certain       types of facts and rules.   The {inference engine} derives new       conclusions using {deductive reasoning}.          To date, Cyc has made possible ground-breaking pilot       applications in the areas of {heterogeneous} database browsing       and integration, {captioned image retrieval}, and {natural       language processing}.          In January of 1995, a new independent company named Cycorp was       created to continue the Cyc project.   Cycorp is still in       Austin, Texas.   The president of Cycorp is {Doug Lenat}.          The development of Cyc has been supported by several       organisations, including {Apple}, {Bellcore}, {DEC}, {DoD},       {Interval}, {Kodak}, and {Microsoft}.          {Home (http://www.cyc.com/)}.          {Unofficial FAQ (http://www.robotwisdom.com/ai/cycfaq.html)}.          (1999-09-07)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cage       (Heb. kelub', Jer. 5:27, marg. "coop;" rendered "basket" in Amos       8:1), a basket of wicker-work in which birds were placed after       being caught. In Rev. 18:2 it is the rendering of the Greek       _phulake_, properly a prison or place of confinement.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cake       Cakes made of wheat or barley were offered in the temple. They       were salted, but unleavened (Ex. 29:2; Lev. 2:4). In idolatrous       worship thin cakes or wafers were offered "to the queen of       heaven" (Jer. 7:18; 44:19).                Pancakes are described in 2 Sam. 13:8, 9. Cakes mingled with       oil and baked in the oven are mentioned in Lev. 2:4, and "wafers       unleavened anointed with oil," in Ex. 29:2; Lev. 8:26; 1 Chr.       23:29. "Cracknels," a kind of crisp cakes, were among the things       Jeroboam directed his wife to take with her when she went to       consult Ahijah the prophet at Shiloh (1 Kings 14:3). Such hard       cakes were carried by the Gibeonites when they came to Joshua       (9:5, 12). They described their bread as "mouldy;" but the       Hebrew word _nikuddim_, here used, ought rather to be rendered       "hard as biscuit." It is rendered "cracknels" in 1 Kings 14:3.       The ordinary bread, when kept for a few days, became dry and       excessively hard. The Gibeonites pointed to this hardness of       their bread as an evidence that they had come a long journey.                We read also of honey-cakes (Ex. 16:31), "cakes of figs" (1       Sam. 25:18), "cake" as denoting a whole piece of bread (1 Kings       17:12), and "a [round] cake of barley bread" (Judg. 7:13). In       Lev. 2 is a list of the different kinds of bread and cakes which       were fit for offerings.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cassia       (1.) Hebrew _kiddah'_, i.e., "split." One of the principal       spices of the holy anointing oil (Ex. 30:24), and an article of       commerce (Ezek. 27:19). It is the inner bark of a tree       resembling the cinnamon (q.v.), the Cinnamomum cassia of       botanists, and was probably imported from India.                (2.) Hebrew pl. _ketzi'oth_ (Ps. 45:8). Mentioned in       connection with myrrh and aloes as being used to scent garments.       It was probably prepared from the peeled bark, as the Hebrew       word suggests, of some kind of cinnamon.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Causeway       a raised way, an ascent by steps, or a raised slope between Zion       and the temple (1 Chr. 26:16, 18). In 2 Chr. 9:11 the same word       is translated "terrace."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cheek       Smiting on the cheek was accounted a grievous injury and insult       (Job 16:10; Lam. 3:30; Micah 5:1). The admonition (Luke 6:29),       "Unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the       other," means simply, "Resist not evil" (Matt. 5:39; 1 Pet.       2:19-23). Ps. 3:7 = that God had deprived his enemies of the       power of doing him injury.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cheese       (A.S. cese). This word occurs three times in the Authorized       Version as the translation of three different Hebrew words: (1.)       1 Sam. 17:18, "ten cheeses;" i.e., ten sections of curd. (2.) 2       Sam. 17:29, "cheese of kine" = perhaps curdled milk of kine. The       Vulgate version reads "fat calves." (3.) Job 10:10, curdled milk       is meant by the word.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chios       mentioned in Acts 20:15, an island in the Aegean Sea, about 5       miles distant from the mainland, having a roadstead, in the       shelter of which Paul and his companions anchored for a night       when on his third missionary return journey. It is now called       Scio.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cook       a person employed to perform culinary service. In early times       among the Hebrews cooking was performed by the mistress of the       household (Gen. 18:2-6; Judg. 6:19), and the process was very       expeditiously performed (Gen. 27:3, 4, 9, 10). Professional       cooks were afterwards employed (1 Sam. 8:13; 9:23). Few animals,       as a rule, were slaughtered (other than sacrifices), except for       purposes of hospitality (Gen. 18:7; Luke 15:23). The paschal       lamb was roasted over a fire (Ex. 12:8, 9; 2Chr. 35:13). Cooking       by boiling was the usual method adopted (Lev. 8:31; Ex. 16:23).       No cooking took place on the Sabbath day (Ex. 35:3).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Coos       (written Cos in the R.V.), a small island, one of the Sporades       in the Aegean Sea, in the north-west of Rhodes, off the coast of       Caria. Paul on his return from his third missionary journey,       passed the night here after sailing from Miletus (Acts 21:1). It       is now called Stanchio.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Couch       (Gen. 49:4; 1 Chr. 5:1; Job 7:13; Ps. 6:6, etc.), a seat for       repose or rest. (See {BED}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cuckoo       (Heb. shahaph), from a root meaning "to be lean; slender." This       bird is mentioned only in Lev. 11:16 and Deut. 14:15 (R.V.,       "seamew"). Some have interpreted the Hebrew word by "petrel" or       "shearwater" (Puffinus cinereus), which is found on the coast of       Syria; others think it denotes the "sea-gull" or "seamew." The       common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) feeds on reptiles and large       insects. It is found in Asia and Africa as well as in Europe. It       only passes the winter in Palestine. The Arabs suppose it to       utter the cry _Yakub_, and hence they call it _tir el-Yakub_;       i.e., "Jacob's bird."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cush       black. (1.) A son, probably the eldest, of Ham, and the father       of Nimrod (Gen. 10:8; 1 Chr. 1:10). From him the land of Cush       seems to have derived its name. The question of the precise       locality of the land of Cush has given rise to not a little       controversy. The second river of Paradise surrounded the whole       land of Cush (Gen. 2:13, R.V.). The term Cush is in the Old       Testament generally applied to the countries south of the       Israelites. It was the southern limit of Egypt (Ezek. 29:10,       A.V. "Ethiopia," Heb. Cush), with which it is generally       associated (Ps. 68:31; Isa. 18:1; Jer. 46:9, etc.). It stands       also associated with Elam (Isa. 11:11), with Persia (Ezek.       38:5), and with the Sabeans (Isa. 45:14). From these facts it       has been inferred that Cush included Arabia and the country on       the west coast of the Red Sea. Rawlinson takes it to be the       country still known as Khuzi-stan, on the east side of the Lower       Tigris. But there are intimations which warrant the conclusion       that there was also a Cush in Africa, the Ethiopia (so called by       the Greeks) of Africa. Ezekiel speaks (29:10; comp. 30:4-6) of       it as lying south of Egypt. It was the country now known to us       as Nubia and Abyssinia (Isa. 18:1; Zeph. 3:10, Heb. Cush). In       ancient Egyptian inscriptions Ethiopia is termed _Kesh_. The       Cushites appear to have spread along extensive tracts,       stretching from the Upper Nile to the Euphrates and Tigris. At       an early period there was a stream of migration of Cushites       "from Ethiopia, properly so called, through Arabia, Babylonia,       and Persia, to Western India." The Hamite races, soon after       their arrival in Africa, began to spread north, east, and west.       Three branches of the Cushite or Ethiopian stock, moving from       Western Asia, settled in the regions contiguous to the Persian       Gulf. One branch, called the Cossaeans, settled in the       mountainous district on the east of the Tigris, known afterwards       as Susiana; another occupied the lower regions of the Euphrates       and the Tigris; while a third colonized the southern shores and       islands of the gulf, whence they afterwards emigrated to the       Mediterranean and settled on the coast of Palestine as the       Phoenicians. Nimrod was a great Cushite chief. He conquered the       Accadians, a Tauranian race, already settled in Mesopotamia, and       founded his kingdom, the Cushites mingling with the Accads, and       so forming the Chaldean nation.                (2.) A Benjamite of this name is mentioned in the title of Ps.       7. "Cush was probably a follower of Saul, the head of his tribe,       and had sought the friendship of David for the purpose of       'rewarding evil to him that was at peace with him.'"
