deprecated adj.   Said of a program or feature that is    considered obsolescent and in the process of being phased out,    usually in favor of a specified replacement.   Deprecated features    can, unfortunately, linger on for many years.   This term appears    with distressing frequency in standards documents when the    committees writing the documents realize that large amounts of    extant (and presumably happily working) code depend on the    feature(s) that have passed out of favor.   See also {dusty deck}.

De Bruijn notation          A variation of {lambda notation} for specifying       {functions} using numbers instead of names to refer to {formal       parameters}.   A reference to a formal parameter is a number       which gives the number of lambdas (written as \ here) between       the reference and the lambda which binds the parameter.       E.g. the function \ f . \ x . f x would be written \ . \ . 1       0.   The 0 refers to the innermost lambda, the 1 to the next       etc.   The chief advantage of this notation is that it avoids       the possibility of {name capture} and removes the need for {alpha       conversion}.          [N.G.

defrag          {defragment}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
defragment          /dee-frag(-ment)'/ (Or "defrag") To       coalesce files and free space on a {file system}.          As modern file systems are used and files are deleted and       created, the total free space becomes split into smaller       non-contiguous blocks (composed of "{clusters}" or "{sectors}"       or some other unit of allocation).   Eventually new files being       created, and old files being extended, cannot be stored each       in a single contiguous block but become scattered across the       file system.   This degrades performance as multiple {seek}       operations are required to access a single fragmented file.          Defragmenting consolidates each existing file and the free       space into a continuous group of sectors.   Access speed will       be improved due to reduced seeking.          The rate of fragmentation depends on the {algorithm} used to       allocate space and the number and position of free sectors.   A       nearly-full file system will fragment more quickly.          {MSDOS} and {Microsoft Windows} use the simplest algorithm to       allocate free clusters and so fragmentaton occurs quickly.   A       disk should be defragmented before fragmentation reaches 10%.          (1997-08-29)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Divorce       The dissolution of the marriage tie was regulated by the Mosaic       law (Deut. 24:1-4). The Jews, after the Captivity, were reguired       to dismiss the foreign women they had married contrary to the       law (Ezra 10:11-19). Christ limited the permission of divorce to       the single case of adultery. It seems that it was not uncommon       for the Jews at that time to dissolve the union on very slight       pretences (Matt. 5:31, 32; 19:1-9; Mark 10:2-12; Luke 16:18).       These precepts given by Christ regulate the law of divorce in       the Christian Church.
