               {Dislike}, {Aversion}, {Reluctance}, {Repugnance},
               {Disgust}, {Antipathy}. Dislike is the more general
               term, applicable to both persons and things and arising
               either from feeling or judgment. It may mean little more
               than want of positive liking; but antipathy, repugnance,
               disgust, and aversion are more intense phases of
               dislike. Aversion denotes a fixed and habitual dislike;
               as, an aversion to or for business. Reluctance and
               repugnance denote a mental strife or hostility something
               proposed (repugnance being the stronger); as, a
               reluctance to make the necessary sacrifices, and a
               repugnance to the submission required. Disgust is
               repugnance either of taste or moral feeling; as, a
               disgust at gross exhibitions of selfishness. Antipathy
               is primarily an instinctive feeling of dislike of a
               thing, such as most persons feel for a snake. When used
               figuratively, it denotes a correspondent dislike for
               certain persons, modes of acting, etc. Men have an
               aversion to what breaks in upon their habits; a
               reluctance and repugnance to what crosses their will; a
               disgust at what offends their sensibilities; and are
               often governed by antipathies for which they can give no
               good reason.

      Unfavorable; not commendatory; -- opposed to {eulogistic}.

               The paternity of dyslogistic -- no bantling, but now
               almost a centenarian -- is adjudged to that genius of

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   dickless workstation n.   Extremely pejorative hackerism for
   `diskless workstation', a class of botches including the Sun 3/50
   and other machines designed exclusively to network with an expensive
   central disk server.   These combine all the disadvantages of
   time-sharing with all the disadvantages of distributed personal
   computers; typically, they cannot even {boot} themselves without
   help (in the form of some kind of {breath-of-life packet}) from the
   server.

   DCALGOL

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   diskless workstation
  
      A {personal computer} or {workstation}
      which has neither a {hard disk} nor {floppy disk} drive and
      which performs all file access via a {local area network}
      connection to a {file server}.   The lowest level {bootstrap}
      code is stored in {non-volatile storage}.   This uses a simple
      {protocol} such as {BOOTP} to request and {download} more
      sophisticated boot code and eventually, the {operating
      system}.
  
      The archtypal product was the {3Station} developed by Bob
      Metcalfe at {3Com}.   Another example was the {Sun} 3/50.
  
      Diskless workstations are ideal when many users are running
      the same application.   They are small, quiet, more reliable
      than products with disks, and help prevent both the theft of
      data and the introduction of viruses since the software and
      data available on them is controlled by the network
      administrator or system administrator.   They do however rely
      on a server which becomes a disadvantage if it is heavily
      loaded or {down}.
  
      See also {breath-of-life packet}.

      demonstration of the on live system, {NLS}, they had been
      working on since 1962.   The presentation was a session in the
      of the Fall Joint Computer Conference held at the Convention
      Center in San Francisco, and it was attended by about 1000
      computer professionals.   This was the public debut of the
      computer mouse, hypertext, object addressing, dynamic file
      linking, and shared-screen collaboration involving two persons
      at different sites communicating over a network with audio and
      video interface.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Decalogue
      the name given by the Greek fathers to the ten commandments;
      "the ten words," as the original is more literally rendered (Ex.
      20:3-17). These commandments were at first written on two stone
      slabs (31:18), which were broken by Moses throwing them down on
      the ground (32:19). They were written by God a second time
      (34:1). The decalogue is alluded to in the New Testament five
      times (Matt. 5:17, 18, 19; Mark 10:19; Luke 18:20; Rom. 7:7, 8;
      13:9; 1 Tim. 1:9, 10).
     
         These commandments have been divided since the days of Origen
      the Greek father, as they stand in the Confession of all the
      Reformed Churches except the Lutheran. The division adopted by
      Luther, and which has ever since been received in the Lutheran
      Church, makes the first two commandments one, and the third the
      second, and so on to the last, which is divided into two. "Thou
      shalt not covet thy neighbour's house" being ranked as ninth,
      and "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife," etc., the
      tenth. (See {COMMANDMENTS}.)
