A portion of a branch of a tree that forms a mass of woody             fiber running at an angle with the grain of the main stock             and making a hard place in the timber. A loose knot is             generally the remains of a dead branch of a tree covered             by later woody growth.          7. A knob, lump, swelling, or protuberance.                         With lips serenely placid, felt the knot Climb in                      her throat.                                       --Tennyson.          8. A protuberant joint in a plant.          9. The point on which the action of a story depends; the gist             of a matter. [Obs.]                         I shoulde to the knotte condescend, And maken of her                      walking soon an end.                           --Chaucer.          10. (Mech.) See {Node}.          11. (Naut.)             (a) A division of the log line, serving to measure the                   rate of the vessel's motion. Each knot on the line                   bears the same proportion to a mile that thirty                   seconds do to an hour. The number of knots which run                   off from the reel in half a minute, therefore, shows                   the number of miles the vessel sails in an hour.                   Hence:             (b) A nautical mile, or 6080.27 feet; as, when a ship                   goes eight miles an hour, her speed is said to be                   eight knots.          12. A kind of epaulet. See {Shoulder knot}.          13. (Zo[94]l.) A sandpiper ({Tringa canutus}), found in the             northern parts of all the continents, in summer. It is             grayish or ashy above, with the rump and upper tail             coverts white, barred with dusky. The lower parts are             pale brown, with the flanks and under tail coverts white.             When fat it is prized by epicures. Called also {dunne}.          Note: The name is said to be derived from King Canute, this                bird being a favorite article of food with him.                            The knot that called was Canutus' bird of old, Of                         that great king of Danes his name that still doth                         hold, His appetite to please that far and near                         was sought.                                    --Drayton.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
demo /de'moh/   [short for `demonstration'] 1. v. To demonstrate    a product or prototype.   A far more effective way of inducing bugs    to manifest than any number of {test} runs, especially when    important people are watching.   2. n. The act of demoing.   "I've    gotta give a demo of the drool-proof interface; how does it work    again?"   3. n. Esp. as `demo version', can refer either to an early,    barely-functional version of a program which can be used for    demonstration purposes as long as the operator uses _exactly_ the    right commands and skirts its numerous bugs, deficiencies, and    unimplemented portions, or to a special version of a program    (frequently with some features crippled) which is distributed at    little or no cost to the user for enticement purposes.   4.    [{demoscene}] A sequence of {demoeffect}s (usually) combined with    self-composed music and hand-drawn ("pixelated") graphics. These    days (1997) usually built to attend a {compo}. Often called    `eurodemos' outside Europe, as most of the {demoscene} activity    seems to have gathered in northern Europe and especially    Scandinavia.   See also {intro}, {dentro}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
down   1. adj. Not operating.   "The up escalator is down" is    considered a humorous thing to say (unless of course you were    expecting to use it), and "The elevator is down" always means "The    elevator isn't working" and never refers to what floor the elevator    is on.   With respect to computers, this term has passed into the    mainstream; the extension to other kinds of machine is still    confined to techies (e.g. boiler mechanics may speak of a boiler    being down).   2. `go down' vi. To stop functioning; usually said of    the {system}.   The message from the {console} that every hacker    hates to hear from the operator is "System going down in 5 minutes".    3. `take down', `bring down' vt. To deactivate purposely, usually    for repair work or {PM}.   "I'm taking the system down to work on    that bug in the tape drive."   Occasionally one hears the word `down'    by itself used as a verb in this vt. sense.   See {crash}; oppose    {up}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
DWIM /dwim/   [acronym, `Do What I Mean'] 1. adj. Able to guess,    sometimes even correctly, the result intended when bogus input was    provided.   2. n. obs. The BBNLISP/INTERLISP function that attempted    to accomplish this feat by correcting many of the more common    errors.   See {hairy}.   3. Occasionally, an interjection hurled at a    balky computer, esp. when one senses one might be tripping over    legalisms (see {legalese}).   4. Of a person, someone whose    directions are incomprehensible and vague, but who nevertheless has    the expectation that you will solve the problem using the specific    method he/she has in mind.          Warren Teitelman originally wrote DWIM to fix his typos and    spelling errors, so it was somewhat idiosyncratic to his style, and    would often make hash of anyone else's typos if they were    stylistically different.   Some victims of DWIM thus claimed that the    acronym stood for `Damn Warren's Infernal Machine!'.          In one notorious incident, Warren added a DWIM feature to the    command interpreter used at Xerox PARC.   One day another hacker    there typed `delete *$' to free up some disk space.   (The editor    there named backup files by appending `$' to the original file name,    so he was trying to delete any backup files left over from old    editing sessions.)   It happened that there weren't any editor backup    files, so DWIM helpfully reported `*$ not found, assuming you meant    'delete *'.' It then started to delete all the files on the disk!    The hacker managed to stop it with a {Vulcan nerve pinch} after only    a half dozen or so files were lost.          The disgruntled victim later said he had been sorely tempted to go    to Warren's office, tie Warren down in his chair in front of his    workstation, and then type `delete *$' twice.          DWIM is often suggested in jest as a desired feature for a complex    program; it is also occasionally described as the single    instruction the ideal computer would have.   Back when proofs of    program correctness were in vogue, there were also jokes about    `DWIMC' (Do What I Mean, Correctly).   A related term, more often    seen as a verb, is DTRT (Do The Right Thing); see {Right Thing}.

DYANA          {DYnamics ANAlyzer}
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Dan       a judge. (1.) The fifth son of Jacob. His mother was Bilhah,       Rachel's maid (Gen. 30:6, "God hath judged me", Heb. dananni).       The blessing pronounced on him by his father was, "Dan shall       judge his people" (49:16), probably in allusion to the judgeship       of Samson, who was of the tribe of Dan.                The tribe of Dan had their place in the march through the       wilderness on the north side of the tabernacle (Num. 2:25, 31;       10:25). It was the last of the tribes to receive a portion in       the Land of Promise. Its position and extent are described in       Josh. 19:40-48.                The territory of Dan extended from the west of that of Ephraim       and Benjamin to the sea. It was a small territory, but was very       fertile. It included in it, among others, the cities of Lydda,       Ekron, and Joppa, which formed its northern boundary. But this       district was too limited. "Squeezed into the narrow strip       between the mountains and the sea, its energies were great       beyond its numbers." Being pressed by the Amorites and the       Philistines, whom they were unable to conquer, they longed for a       wider space. They accordingly sent out five spies from two of       their towns, who went north to the sources of the Jordan, and       brought back a favourable report regarding that region. "Arise,"       they said, "be not slothful to go, and to possess the land," for       it is "a place where there is no want of any thing that is in       the earth" (Judg. 18:10). On receiving this report, 600 Danites       girded on their weapons of war, and taking with them their wives       and their children, marched to the foot of Hermon, and fought       against Leshem, and took it from the Sidonians, and dwelt       therein, and changed the name of the conquered town to Dan       (Josh. 19:47). This new city of Dan became to them a new home,       and was wont to be spoken of as the northern limit of Palestine,       the length of which came to be denoted by the expression "from       Dan to Beersheba", i.e., about 144 miles.                "But like Lot under a similar temptation, they seem to have       succumbed to the evil influences around them, and to have sunk       down into a condition of semi-heathenism from which they never       emerged. The mounds of ruins which mark the site of the city       show that it covered a considerable extent of ground. But there       remains no record of any noble deed wrought by the degenerate       tribe. Their name disappears from the roll-book of the natural       and the spiritual Israel.", Manning's Those Holy Fields.                This old border city was originally called Laish. Its modern       name is Tell el-Kady, "Hill of the Judge." It stands about four       miles below Caesarea Philippi, in the midst of a region of       surpassing richness and beauty.                (2.) This name occurs in Ezek 27:19, Authorize Version; but       the words there, "Dan also," should be simply, as in the Revised       Version, "Vedan," an Arabian city, from which various kinds of       merchandise were brought to Tyre. Some suppose it to have been       the city of Aden in Arabia. (See MAHANEH-{DAN}.)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Den       a lair of wild beasts (Ps. 10:9; 104:22; Job 37:8); the hole of       a venomous reptile (Isa. 11:8); a recess for secrecy "in dens       and caves of the earth" (Heb. 11:38); a resort of thieves (Matt.       21:13; Mark 11:17). Daniel was cast into "the den of lions"       (Dan. 6:16, 17). Some recent discoveries among the ruins of       Babylon have brought to light the fact that the practice of       punishing offenders against the law by throwing them into a den       of lions was common.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Diana       so called by the Romans; called Artemis by the Greeks, the       "great" goddess worshipped among heathen nations under various       modifications. Her most noted temple was that at Ephesus. It was       built outside the city walls, and was one of the seven wonders       of the ancient world. "First and last it was the work of 220       years; built of shining marble; 342 feet long by 164 feet broad;       supported by a forest of columns, each 56 feet high; a sacred       museum of masterpieces of sculpture and painting. At the centre,       hidden by curtains, within a gorgeous shrine, stood the very       ancient image of the goddess, on wood or ebony reputed to have       fallen from the sky. Behind the shrine was a treasury, where, as       in 'the safest bank in Asia,' nations and kings stored their       most precious things. The temple as St. Paul saw it subsisted       till A.D. 262, when it was ruined by the Goths" (Acts       19:23-41)., Moule on Ephesians: Introd.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Dinah       judged; vindicated, daughter of Jacob by Leah, and sister of       Simeon and Levi (Gen. 30:21). She was seduced by Shechem, the       son of Hamor, the Hivite chief, when Jacob's camp was in the       neighbourhood of Shechem. This led to the terrible revenge of       Simeon and Levi in putting the Shechemites to death (Gen. 34).       Jacob makes frequent reference to this deed of blood with       abhorrence and regret (Gen. 34:30; 49:5-7). She is mentioned       among the rest of Jacob's family that went down into Egypt (Gen.       46:8, 15).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Dine       (Gen. 43:16). It was the custom in Egypt to dine at noon. But it       is probable that the Egyptians took their principal meal in the       evening, as was the general custom in the East (Luke 14:12).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Dumah       silence, (comp. Ps. 94:17), the fourth son of Ishmael; also the       tribe descended from him; and hence also the region in Arabia       which they inhabited (Gen. 25:14; 1 Chr. 1:30).                There was also a town of this name in Judah (Josh. 15:52),       which has been identified with ed-Domeh, about 10 miles       southwest of Hebron. The place mentioned in the "burden" of the       prophet Isaiah (21:11) is Edom or Idumea.
