From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Death \Death\, n. [OE. deth, dea[?], AS. de[a0][?]; akin to OS.
      d[?][?], D. dood, G. tod, Icel. dau[?]i, Sw. & Dan. d[94]d,

      Note: Local death is going on at times and in all parts of

               ultimate structural constituents of the body. When
               death takes place, the body as a whole dies first, the

               after a considerable interval. --Huxley.

                     death.                                                --Rom. viii.
                                                                              6.

      Syn: {Death}, {Decease}, {Demise}, {Departure}, {Release}.
  
      Usage: Death applies to the termination of every form of
                  existence, both animal and vegetable; the other words
                  only to the human race. Decease is the term used in
                  law for the removal of a human being out of life in
                  the ordinary course of nature. Demise was formerly
                  confined to decease of princes, but is now sometimes
                  used of distinguished men in general; as, the demise
                  of Mr. Pitt. Departure and release are peculiarly
                  terms of Christian affection and hope. A violent death
                  is not usually called a decease. Departure implies a
                  friendly taking leave of life. Release implies a
                  deliverance from a life of suffering or sorrow.

      Syn: {Death}, {Decease}, {Demise}, {Departure}, {Release}.
  
      Usage: Death applies to the termination of every form of
                  existence, both animal and vegetable; the other words
                  only to the human race. Decease is the term used in
                  law for the removal of a human being out of life in
                  the ordinary course of nature. Demise was formerly
                  confined to decease of princes, but is now sometimes
                  used of distinguished men in general; as, the demise
                  of Mr. Pitt. Departure and release are peculiarly
                  terms of Christian affection and hope. A violent death
                  is not usually called a decease. Departure implies a
                  friendly taking leave of life. Release implies a
                  deliverance from a life of suffering or sorrow.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   data rate
  
      (Or "data ransfer rate", "transmission
      rate") The amount of {data} transferred per second by a
      communications channel or a computing or storage device.
  
      Data rate is measured in units of {bits per second} (written
      "b/s" or "bps"), {bytes per second} (Bps), or {baud}.
  
      When applied to data rate, the multiplier {prefixes} "kilo-",
      "mega-", "giga-", etc. (and their abbreviations, "k", "M",
      "G", etc.) always denote powers of 1000.   For example, 64 kbps
      is 64,000 bits per second.   This contrasts with units of
      storage where they stand for powers of 1024, e.g. 1 KB = 1024
      bytes.
