Comfort \Com"fort\, n. [OF. confort, fr. conforter.]       1. Assistance; relief; support. [Obs. except in the phrase             [bd]aid and comfort.[b8] See 5 below.] --Shak.          2. Encouragement; solace; consolation in trouble; also, that             which affords consolation.                         In comfort of her mother's fears.      --Shak.                         Cheer thy spirit with this comfort.   --Shak.                         Speaking words of endearment where words of comfort                      availed not.                                       --Longfellow.          3. A state of quiet enjoyment; freedom from pain, want, or             anxiety; also, whatever contributes to such a condition.                         I had much joy and comfort in thy love. --Phil. 7                                                                               (Rev.

(Law) Unlawful support, countenance, or encouragement; as,             to give aid and comfort to the enemy.          Syn: {Comfort}, {Consolation}.          Usage: Comfort has two meanings:          1. Strength and relief received under affliction;          2. Positive enjoyment, of a quiet, permanent nature, together             with the sources thereof; as, the comfort of love;             surrounded with comforts; but it is with the former only             that the word consolation is brought into comparison. As             thus compared, consolation points to some specific source             of relief for the afflicted mind; as, the consolations of             religion. Comfort supposes the relief to be afforded by             imparting positive enjoyment, as well as a diminution of             pain. [bd]Consolation, or comfort, signifies some             alleviation to that pain to which it is not in our power             to afford the proper and adequate remedy; they imply             rather an augmentation of the power of bearing, than a             diminution of the burden.[b8] --Johnson.

Science \Sci"ence\, n. [F., fr. L. scientia, fr. sciens, -entis,       p. pr. of scire to know. Cf. {Conscience}, {Conscious},       {Nice}.]       1.

Any branch or department of systematized knowledge             considered as a distinct field of investigation or object             of study; as, the science of astronomy, of chemistry, or             of mind.          Note: The ancients reckoned seven sciences, namely, grammar,                rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, music, geometry, and                astronomy; -- the first three being included in the                Trivium, the remaining four in the Quadrivium.                            Good sense, which only is the gift of Heaven, And                         though no science, fairly worth the seven.                                                                               --Pope.          5.

A.                                                                               Lawrence.          Note: Science is applied or pure. Applied science is a                knowledge of facts, events, or phenomena, as explained,                accounted for, or produced, by means of powers, causes,                or laws. Pure science is the knowledge of these powers,                causes, or laws, considered apart, or as pure from all                applications. Both these terms have a similar and                special signification when applied to the science of                quantity; as, the applied and pure mathematics. Exact                science is knowledge so systematized that prediction                and verification, by measurement, experiment,                observation, etc., are possible. The mathematical and                physical sciences are called the exact sciences.          {Comparative sciences}, {Inductive sciences}. See under             {Comparative}, and {Inductive}.          Syn: Literature; art; knowledge.          Usage: {Science}, {Literature}, {Art}. Science is literally                   knowledge, but more usually denotes a systematic and                   orderly arrangement of knowledge. In a more                   distinctive sense, science embraces those branches of                   knowledge of which the subject-matter is either                   ultimate principles, or facts as explained by                   principles or laws thus arranged in natural order. The                   term literature sometimes denotes all compositions not                   embraced under science, but usually confined to the                   belles-lettres. [See {Literature}.] Art is that which                   depends on practice and skill in performance. [bd]In                   science, scimus ut sciamus; in art, scimus ut                   producamus. And, therefore, science and art may be                   said to be investigations of truth; but one, science,                   inquires for the sake of knowledge; the other, art,                   for the sake of production; and hence science is more                   concerned with the higher truths, art with the lower;                   and science never is engaged, as art is, in productive                   application. And the most perfect state of science,                   therefore, will be the most high and accurate inquiry;                   the perfection of art will be the most apt and                   efficient system of rules; art always throwing itself                   into the form of rules.[b8] --Karslake.

See {Pair},       {Peer} an equal, and cf. {Compeer}.]       1. To examine the character or qualities of, as of two or             more persons or things, for the purpose of discovering             their resemblances or differences; to bring into             comparison; to regard with discriminating attention.                         Compare dead happiness with living woe. --Shak.                         The place he found beyond expression bright,                      Compared with aught on earth.            --Milton.                         Compare our faces and be judge yourself. --Shak.                         To compare great things with small.   --Milton.          2.

(Gram.) To inflect according to the degrees of comparison;             to state positive, comparative, and superlative forms of;             as, most adjectives of one syllable are compared by             affixing [bd]- er[b8] and [bd]-est[b8] to the positive             form; as, black, blacker, blackest; those of more than one             syllable are usually compared by prefixing [bd]more[b8]             and [bd]most[b8], or [bd]less[b8] and [bd]least[b8], to             the positive; as, beautiful, more beautiful, most             beautiful.          Syn: To {Compare}, {Compare with}, {Compare to}.          Usage: Things are compared with each other in order to learn                   their relative value or excellence. Thus we compare                   Cicero with Demosthenes, for the sake of deciding                   which was the greater orator. One thing is compared to                   another because of a real or fanciful likeness or                   similarity which exists between them. Thus it has been                   common to compare the eloquence of Demosthenes to a                   thunderbolt, on account of its force, and the                   eloquence of Cicero to a conflagration, on account of                   its splendor.

Converse \Con"verse\, n.       1. (Logic) A proposition which arises from interchanging the             terms of another, as by putting the predicate for the             subject, and the subject for the predicate; as, no virtue             is vice, no vice is virtue.          Note: It should not (as is often done) be confounded with the                contrary or opposite of a proposition, which is formed                by introducing the negative not or no.          2.

A proposition in which, after a conclusion from             something supposed has been drawn, the order is inverted,             making the conclusion the supposition or premises, what             was first supposed becoming now the conclusion or             inference.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Convert \Con"vert\, n.       1. A person who is converted from one opinion or practice to             another; a person who is won over to, or heartily             embraces, a creed, religious system, or party, in which he             has not previously believed; especially, one who turns             from the controlling power of sin to that of holiness, or             from unbelief to Christianity.                         The Jesuits did not persuade the converts to lay                      aside the use of images.                     --Bp.                                                                               Stillingfleet.          2. A lay friar or brother, permitted to enter a monastery for             the service of the house, but without orders, and not             allowed to sing in the choir.          Syn: Proselyte; neophyte.          Usage: {Convert}, {Proselyte}, {Pervert}. A convert is one                   who turns from what he believes to have been a decided                   error of faith or practice. Such a change may relate                   to religion, politics, or other subjects. properly                   considered, it is not confined to speculation alone,                   but affects the whole current of one's feelings and                   the tenor of his actions. As such a change carries                   with it the appearance of sincerity, the term convert                   is usually taken in a good sense. Proselyte is a term                   of more ambiguous use and application. It was first                   applied to an adherent of one religious system who had                   transferred himself externally to some other religious                   system; and is also applied to one who makes a similar                   transfer in respect to systems of philosophy or                   speculation. The term has little or no reference to                   the state of the heart. Pervert is a term of recent                   origin, designed to express the contrary of convert,                   and to stigmatize a person as drawn off perverted from                   the true faith. It has been more particulary applied                   by members of the Church of England to those who have                   joined the Roman Catholic Church.

Wrestling \Wres"tling\, n.       Act of one who wrestles; specif., the sport consisting of the       hand-to-hand combat between two unarmed contestants who seek       to throw each other.          Note: The various styles of wrestling differ in their                definition of a fall and in the governing rules. In          {Greco-Roman wrestling}, tripping and taking hold of the legs             are forbidden, and a fall is gained (that is, the bout is             won), by the contestant who pins both his opponent's             shoulders to the ground. In          {catch-as-catch-can wrestling}, all holds are permitted             except such as may be barred by mutual consent, and a fall             is defined as in Greco-Roman style.          {Lancashire style wrestling} is essentially the same as             catch-as-catch-can. In          {Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling} the contestants stand             chest to chest, grasping each other around the body. The             one first losing his hold, or touching the ground with any             part of his body except his feet, loses the bout. If both             fall to the ground at the same time, it is a dogfall, and             must be wrestled over. In the          {Cornwall and Devon wrestling}, the wrestlers complete in             strong loose linen jackets, catching hold of the jacket,             or anywhere above the waist. Two shoulders and one hip, or             two hips and one shoulder, must touch the ground to             constitute a fall, and if a man is thrown otherwise than             on his back the contestants get upon their feet and the             bout recommences.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
COME FROM n.   A semi-mythical language construct dual to the    `go to'; `COME FROM' would cause the referenced label to act    as a sort of trapdoor, so that if the program ever reached it    control would quietly and {automagically} be transferred to the    statement following the `COME FROM'.   `COME FROM' was first proposed    in R. Lawrence Clark's "A Linguistic Contribution to GOTO-less    programming", which appeared in a 1973 {Datamation} issue (and was    reprinted in the April 1984 issue of "Communications of the ACM").    This parodied the then-raging `structured programming' {holy wars}    (see {considered harmful}).   Mythically, some variants are the    `assigned COME FROM' and the `computed COME FROM' (parodying some    nasty control constructs in FORTRAN and some extended BASICs).   Of    course, multi-tasking (or non-determinism) could be implemented by    having more than one `COME FROM' statement coming from the same    label.          In some ways the FORTRAN `DO' looks like a `COME FROM' statement.    After the terminating statement number/`CONTINUE' is reached,    control continues at the statement following the DO.   Some generous    FORTRANs would allow arbitrary statements (other than `CONTINUE')    for the statement, leading to examples like:                   DO 10 I=1,LIMIT       C imagine many lines of code here, leaving the       C original DO statement lost in the spaghetti...                WRITE(6,10) I,FROB(I)       10   FORMAT(1X,I5,G10.4)       in which the trapdoor is just after the statement labeled 10.   (This    is particularly surprising because the label doesn't appear to have    anything to do with the flow of control at all!)          While sufficiently astonishing to the unsuspecting reader, this    form of `COME FROM' statement isn't completely general.   After all,    control will eventually pass to the following statement.   The    implementation of the general form was left to Univac FORTRAN, ca.    1975 (though a roughly similar feature existed on the IBM 7040 ten    years earlier).   The statement `AT 100' would perform a `COME FROM    100'.   It was intended strictly as a debugging aid, with dire    consequences promised to anyone so deranged as to use it in    production code.   More horrible things had already been perpetrated    in production languages, however; doubters need only contemplate the    `ALTER' verb in {COBOL}.          `COME FROM' was supported under its own name for the first time    15 years later, in C-INTERCAL (see {INTERCAL}, {retrocomputing});    knowledgeable observers are still reeling from the shock.

Comparatives          Finally, note that many words in hacker jargon have to be understood    as members of sets of comparatives.   This is especially true of the    adjectives and nouns used to describe the beauty and functional quality    of code.   Here is an approximately correct spectrum:          monstrosity   brain-damage   screw   bug   lose   misfeature       crock   kluge   hack   win   feature   elegance   perfection          The last is spoken of as a mythical absolute, approximated but never    actually attained.   Another similar scale is used for describing the    reliability of software:          broken   flaky   dodgy   fragile   brittle       solid   robust   bulletproof   armor-plated          Note, however, that `dodgy' is primarily Commonwealth Hackish (it is    rare in the U.S.) and may change places with `flaky' for some speakers.          Coinages for describing {lossage} seem to call forth the very finest    in hackish linguistic inventiveness; it has been truly said that    hackers have even more words for equipment failures than Yiddish has    for obnoxious people.

compress [Unix] vt.   When used without a qualifier, generally    refers to {crunch}ing of a file using a particular C implementation    of compression by Joseph M. Orost et al. and widely circulated via    {Usenet}; use of {crunch} itself in this sense is rare among Unix    hackers.   Specifically, compress is built around the    Lempel-Ziv-Welch algorithm as described in "A Technique for High    Performance Data Compression", Terry A. Welch, "IEEE Computer", vol.    17, no. 6 (June 1984), pp. 8-19.

Clark's "A Linguistic       Contribution to GOTO-less programming", which appeared in a       1973 {Datamation} issue (and was reprinted in the April 1984       issue of "{Communications of the ACM}").   This parodied the       then-raging "{structured programming}" {holy wars} (see       {considered harmful}).          Mythically, some variants are the "assigned COME FROM" and the       "computed COME FROM" (parodying some nasty control constructs       in {Fortran} and some extended {BASIC}s).   Of course,       {multitasking} (or {nondeterminism}) could be implemented by       having more than one "COME FROM" statement coming from the       same label.          In some ways the {Fortran} "DO" looks like a "COME FROM"       statement.   After the terminating statement number/"CONTINUE"       is reached, control continues at the statement following the       DO.   Some generous Fortrans would allow arbitrary statements       (other than "CONTINUE") for the statement, leading to examples       like:                   DO 10 I=1,LIMIT          C imagine many lines of code here, leaving the          C original DO statement lost in the spaghetti...                WRITE(6,10) I,FROB(I)          10   FORMAT(1X,I5,G10.4)          in which the trapdoor is just after the statement labelled 10.       (This is particularly surprising because the label doesn't       appear to have anything to do with the flow of control at       all!)          While sufficiently astonishing to the unsuspecting reader,       this form of "COME FROM" statement isn't completely general.       After all, control will eventually pass to the following       statement.   The implementation of the general form was left to       {Univac Fortran}, ca. 1975 (though a roughly similar feature       existed on the {IBM 7040} ten years earlier).   The statement       "AT 100" would perform a "COME FROM 100".   It was intended       strictly as a debugging aid, with dire consequences promised       to anyone so deranged as to use it in production code.   More       horrible things had already been perpetrated in production       languages, however; doubters need only contemplate the       "{ALTER}" verb in {COBOL}.          {SCL} on {VME} {mainframes} has a similar language construct       called "whenever", used like this:          whenever x=123345 then S;          Meaning whenever variable x reached the value 123345 then       execute statement S.          "COME FROM" was supported under its own name for the first       time 15 years later, in {C-INTERCAL} (see {INTERCAL},       {retrocomputing}); knowledgeable observers are still reeling       from the shock.          [{Jargon File}]          (1998-04-19)

compress          1. To feed data through any {compression} {algorithm}.          2. The {Unix} program "compress", now largely       supplanted by {gzip}.          Unix compress was written in {C} by Joseph M. Orost, James       A. Woods et al., and was widely circulated via {Usenet}.   It       uses the {Lempel-Ziv Welch} {algorithm} and normally produces       files with the suffix ".Z".          Compress uses variable length codes.   Initially, nine-bit       codes are output until they are all used.   When this occurs,       ten-bit codes are used and so on, until an       implementation-dependent maximum is reached.          After every 10 {kilobytes} of input the compression ratio is       checked.   If it is decreasing then the entire string table is       discarded and information is collected from scratch.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
compression          1. (Or "compaction") The coding of data to save       storage space or transmission time.   Although data is already       coded in digital form for computer processing, it can often be       coded more efficiently (using fewer bits).   For example,       {run-length encoding} replaces strings of repeated characters       (or other units of data) with a single character and a count.       There are many compression {algorithms} and utilities.       Compressed data must be decompressed before it can be used.          The standard {Unix} compression utilty is called {compress}       though {GNU}'s superior {gzip} has largely replaced it.   Other       compression utilties include {pack}, {zip} and {PKZIP}.          When compressing several similar files, it is usually better       to join the files together into an {archive} of some kind       (using {tar} for example) and then compress them, rather than       to join together individually compressed files.   This is       because some common compression {algorithm}s build up tables       based on the data from their current input which they have       already compressed.   They then use this table to compress       subsequent data more efficiently.          See also {TIFF}, {JPEG}, {MPEG}, {Lempel-Ziv Welch},       "{lossy}", "{lossless}".          {Compression FAQ       (ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/compression-faq/)}.          {Usenet} newsgroups: {news:comp.compression},       {news:comp.compression.research}.          2. Reducing the dynamic range of an audio signal,       making quiet sounds louder and loud sounds quieter.   Thus,       when discussing digital audio, the preferred term for reducing       the total amount of data is "compaction".   Some advocate this       term in all contexts.          (2001-01-30)

Camphire       (Heb. copher), mentioned in Cant. 1:14 (R.V., "henna-flowers");       4:13 (R.V., "henna"), is the al-henna of the Arabs, a native of       Egypt, producing clusters of small white and yellow odoriferous       flowers, whence is made the Oleum Cyprineum. From its leaves is       made the peculiar auburn dye with which Eastern women stain       their nails and the palms of their hands. It is found only at       Engedi, on the shore of the Dead Sea. It is known to botanists       by the name Lawsonia alba or inermis, a kind of privet, which       grows 6 or 8 feet high. The margin of the Authorized Version of       the passages above referred to has "or cypress," not with       reference to the conifer so called, but to the circumstance that       one of the most highly appreciated species of this plant grew in       the island of Cyprus.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chamber       "on the wall," which the Shunammite prepared for the prophet       Elisha (2 Kings 4:10), was an upper chamber over the porch       through the hall toward the street. This was the "guest chamber"       where entertainments were prepared (Mark 14:14). There were also       "chambers within chambers" (1 Kings 22:25; 2 Kings 9:2). To       enter into a chamber is used metaphorically of prayer and       communion with God (Isa. 26:20). The "chambers of the south"       (Job 9:9) are probably the constelations of the southern       hemisphere. The "chambers of imagery", i.e., chambers painted       with images, as used by Ezekiel (8:12), is an expression       denoting the vision the prophet had of the abominations       practised by the Jews in Jerusalem.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chamberlain       a confidential servant of the king (Gen. 37:36; 39:1). In Rom.       16:23 mention is made of "Erastus the chamberlain." Here the       word denotes the treasurer of the city, or the quaestor, as the       Romans styled him. He is almost the only convert from the higher       ranks of whom mention is made (comp. Acts 17:34). Blastus,       Herod's "chamberlain" (Acts 12:20), was his personal attendant       or valet-de-chambre. The Hebrew word _saris_, thus translated in       Esther 1:10, 15; 2:3, 14, 21, etc., properly means an eunuch (as       in the marg.), as it is rendered in Isa. 39:7; 56:3.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Comforter       the designation of the Holy Ghost (John 14:16, 26; 15:26; 16:7;       R.V. marg., "or Advocate, or Helper; Gr. paracletos"). The same       Greek word thus rendered is translated "Advocate" in 1 John 2:1       as applicable to Christ. It means properly "one who is summoned       to the side of another" to help him in a court of justice by       defending him, "one who is summoned to plead a cause."       "Advocate" is the proper rendering of the word in every case       where it occurs.                It is worthy of notice that although Paul nowhere uses the       word paracletos, he yet presents the idea it embodies when he       speaks of the "intercession" both of Christ and the Spirit (Rom.       8:27, 34).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Conversation       generally the goings out and in of social intercourse (Eph. 2:3;       4:22; R.V., "manner of life"); one's deportment or course of       life. This word is never used in Scripture in the sense of       verbal communication from one to another (Ps. 50:23; Heb. 13:5).       In Phil. 1:27 and 3:20, a different Greek word is used. It there       means one's relations to a community as a citizen, i.e.,       citizenship.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Conversion       the turning of a sinner to God (Acts 15:3). In a general sense       the heathen are said to be "converted" when they abandon       heathenism and embrace the Christian faith; and in a more       special sense men are converted when, by the influence of divine       grace in their souls, their whole life is changed, old things       pass away, and all things become new (Acts 26:18). Thus we speak       of the conversion of the Philippian jailer (16:19-34), of Paul       (9:1-22), of the Ethiopian treasurer (8:26-40), of Cornelius       (10), of Lydia (16:13-15), and others.
