Contemptible \Con*tempt"i*ble\, a.       1. Worthy of contempt; deserving of scorn or disdain; mean;             vile; despicable. --Milton.                         The arguments of tyranny are ascontemptible as its                      force is dreadful.                              --Burke.          2.

[Obs.]                         If she should make tender of her love, 't is very                      possible he 'll scorn it; for the man . . . hath a                      contemptible spirit.                           --Shak.          Syn: Despicable; abject; vile; mean; base; paltry; worthless;                sorry; pitiful; scurrile. See {Contemptuous}.          Usage: {Contemptible}, {Despicable}, {Pitiful}, {Paltry}.                   Despicable is stronger than contemptible, as despise                   is stronger than contemn. It implies keen                   disapprobation, with a mixture of anger. A man is                   despicable chiefly for low actions which mark his                   life, such as servility, baseness, or mean adulation.                   A man is contemptible for mean qualities which                   distinguish his character, especially those which show                   him to be weak, foolish, or worthless. Treachery is                   despicable, egotism is contemptible. Pitiful and                   paltry are applied to cases which are beneath anger,                   and are simply contemptible in a high degree.

A person, or whatever                   is personal, as an action, an expression, a feeling,                   an opinion, may be either contemptuous or                   contemptible; a thing may be contemptible, but can not                   be contemptuous.

A point maintained in an argument, or a line of argument             taken in its support; the subject matter of discussion or             strife; a position taken or contended for.                         All men seem agreed what is to be done; the                      contention is how the subject is to be divided and                      defined.                                             --Bagehot.                         This was my original contention, and I still                      maintain that you should abide by your former                      decision.                                          --Jowett.          Syn: Struggle; strife; contest; quarrel; combat; conflict;                feud; litigation; controversy; dissension; variance;                disagreement; debate; competition; emulation.          Usage: {Contention}, {Strife}. A struggle between two parties                   is the idea common to these two words. Strife is a                   struggle for mastery; contention is a struggle for the                   possession of some desired object, or the                   accomplishment of some favorite end. Neither of the                   words is necessarily used in a bad sense, since there                   may be a generous strife or contention between two                   friends as to which shall incur danger or submit to                   sacrifices. Ordinarily, however, these words denote a                   struggle arising from bad passions. In that case,                   strife usually springs from a quarrelsome temper, and                   contention from, a selfish spirit which seeks its own                   aggrandizement, or is fearful lest others should                   obtain too much. Strife has more reference to the                   manner than to the object of a struggle, while                   contention takes more account of the end to be gained.

Taylor.          4. A part considered comparatively; a share.          5. (Math.)             (a) The equality or similarity of ratios, especially of                   geometrical ratios; or a relation among quantities                   such that the quotient of the first divided by the                   second is equal to that of the third divided by the                   fourth; -- called also {geometrical proportion}, in                   distinction from arithmetical proportion, or that in                   which the difference of the first and second is equal                   to the difference of the third and fourth.          Note: Proportion in the mathematical sense differs from                ratio. Ratio is the relation of two quantities of the                same kind, as the ratio of 5 to 10, or the ratio of 8                to 16. Proportion is the sameness or likeness of two                such relations. Thus, 5 to 10 as 8 to 16; that is, 5                bears the same relation to 10 as 8 does to 16. Hence,                such numbers are said to be in proportion. Proportion                is expressed by symbols thus: a:b::c:d, or a:b = c:d,                or a/b = c/d.             (b) The rule of three, in arithmetic, in which the three                   given terms, together with the one sought, are                   proportional.          {Continued proportion}, {Inverse proportion}, etc. See under             {Continued}, {Inverse}, etc.          {Harmonical, [or] Musical}, {proportion}, a relation of three             or four quantities, such that the first is to the last as             the difference between the first two is to the difference             between the last two; thus, 2, 3, 6, are in harmonical             proportion; for 2 is to 6 as 1 to 3. Thus, 24, 16, 12, 9,             are harmonical, for 24:9::8:3.          {In proportion}, according as; to the degree that. [bd]In             proportion as they are metaphysically true, they are             morally and politically false.[b8] --Burke.

content addressable memory          (CAM, or "associative memory") A kind of storage device which       includes comparison logic with each bit of storage.   A data       value is broadcast to all words of storage and compared with       the values there.   Words which match are flagged in some way.       Subsequent operations can then work on flagged words, e.g. read       them out one at a time or write to certain bit positions in       all of them.   A CAM can thus operate as a {data parallel}       ({SIMD}) processor.          CAMs are often used in {cache}s and {memory management unit}s.          (1995-02-16)

contention slot          (Or contention period).   Minimum time a {host} must transmit       for before it can be sure that no other host's {packet} has       collided with its transmission.   If the maximum propagation       delay from one host to any other is T, then a host that starts       to transmit at time t0 may collide with a host that starts       just before t0 + T.   The first host will not detect the       collision until time t0 + 2T.

Continuation Passing Style          (CPS) A semantically clean language with continuations used as       an intermediate language for {Scheme} and the {SML/NJ}       {compiler}.          ["Rabbit: A Compiler for Scheme", G.L. Steele, AI-TR-474, MIT       (May 1978)].          ["Compiling With Continuations", A. Appel, Cambridge U Press       1992].

continuation passing style          (CPS) A style of programming in which every user       function f takes an extra argument c known as a continuation.       Whenever f would normally return a result r to its caller, it       instead returns the result of applying the continuation to r.       The continuation thus represents the whole of the rest of the       computation.   Some examples:             normal (direct style)      --> continuation passing             square x = x * x square x k = k (x*x)             g (square 23) square 23 g             (square 3) + 1 square 3 ( \ s . s+1 )          (1995-04-04)

continuous function          A function f : D -> E, where D and E are {cpo}s, is continuous       if it is {monotonic} and          f (lub Z) = lub { f z | z in Z }          for all {directed} sets Z in D.   In other words, the image of       the lub is the lub of any directed image.          All {additive} functions (functions which preserve all lubs)       are continuous.   A continuous function has a {least fixed       point} if its {domain} has a least element, {bottom} (i.e. it       is a cpo or a "pointed cpo" depending on your definition of a       cpo).   The {least fixed point} is          fix f = lub {f^n bottom | n = 0..infinity}          (1994-11-30)

Continuous System Simulation Language          (CSSL) Versions include {ACSL}, {HYTRAN}, {SL-I},       {S/360} and {CSMP}.          CSSL(Continuous System Simulation Language) versions I, II,       III, IV and V have been commercially available since 1968.       CSSL-I was developed for {Jet Propulsion Labs} in 1968.       CSSL-III was widely distributed from 1969-1975.   CSSL-IV       (interactive version) was developed by R. Nilsen and ran on       over 30 different computers.   Currently CSSL-V is marketed by       {Simulation Services International} and available on {PC}s and       {workstations}.          ["The SCi Continuous System Simulation Language (CSSL)",       Simulation, 9(6), Dec 1967].          [URL?]          (2003-04-15)

continuous wave          (CW) A term from early radio history, when       the {spark gap} method of transmission was replaced by       vacuum-tube oscillators.   A spark gap initiates a ringing,       damped sinusoidal wave in a tuned circuit consisting of an       inductor and capacitor.   The energy in this circuit is       constantly changing between the capacitor's electrostatic       field and the inductor's magnetic field.   The energy is then       coupled, loosely (so as not to dampen the wave too quickly),       to the radiating antenna.          In contrast, a vacuum-tube oscillator constantly adds energy       to the tuned circuit, compensating for the amount coupled to       the antenna, and the transmitted energy or "wave," is       therefore "continuous".          Many (especially radio amateurs) continue to understand "CW"       to mean transmission by means a signal of a single frequency       which is either on or off (e.g. {Morse code}), as opposed to a       carrier which varies continuously in amplitude, frequency or       phase.   Some would even call the former "unmodulated" even       though turning on and off is actually an extreme form of       amplitude modulation.          (1995-03-15)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Contentment       a state of mind in which one's desires are confined to his lot       whatever it may be (1 Tim. 6:6; 2 Cor. 9:8). It is opposed to       envy (James 3:16), avarice (Heb. 13:5), ambition (Prov. 13:10),       anxiety (Matt. 6:25, 34), and repining (1 Cor. 10:10). It arises       from the inward disposition, and is the offspring of humility,       and of an intelligent consideration of the rectitude and       benignity of divine providence (Ps. 96:1, 2; 145), the greatness       of the divine promises (2 Pet. 1:4), and our own unworthiness       (Gen. 32:10); as well as from the view the gospel opens up to us       of rest and peace hereafter (Rom. 5:2).
