   Dis- \Dis-\ (?; 258)
      .
  
      1. A prefix from the Latin, whence F. d[82]s, or sometimes
            d[82]-, dis-. The Latin dis-appears as di-before b, d, g,
            l, m, n, r, v, becomes dif-before f, and either dis-or di-
            before j. It is from the same root as bis twice, and duo,
            E. two. See {Two}, and cf. {Bi-}, {Di-}, {Dia-}.
            Dis-denotes separation, a parting from, as in distribute,
            disconnect; hence it often has the force of a privative
            and negative, as in disarm, disoblige, disagree. Also
            intensive, as in dissever.
  
      Note: Walker's rule of pronouncing this prefix is, that the s
               ought always to be pronounced like z, when the next
               syllable is accented and begins with [bd]a flat mute
               [b, d, v, g, z], a liquid [l, m, n, r], or a vowel; as,
               disable, disease, disorder, disuse, disband, disdain,
               disgrace, disvalue, disjoin, dislike, dislodge, dismay,
               dismember, dismiss, dismount, disnatured, disrank,
               disrelish, disrobe.[b8] Dr. Webster's example in
               disapproving of Walker's rule and pronouncing dis-as
               diz in only one (disease) of the above words, is
               followed by recent ortho[89]pists. See {Disable},
               {Disgrace}, and the other words, beginning with dis-,
               in this Dictionary.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   DEC /dek/ n.   1. v. Verbal (and only rarely written) shorthand
   for decrement, i.e. `decrease by one'.   Especially used by assembly
   programmers, as many assembly languages have a `dec' mnemonic.
   Antonym: {inc}.   2. n. Commonly used abbreviation for Digital
   Equipment Corporation, later deprecated by DEC itself in favor of
   "Digital" and now entirely obsolete following the buyout by Compaq.
   Before the {killer micro} revolution of the late 1980s, hackerdom
   was closely symbiotic with DEC's pioneering timesharing machines.
   The first of the group of cultures described by this lexicon
   nucleated around the PDP-1 (see {TMRC}).   Subsequently, the PDP-6,
   {PDP-10}, {PDP-20}, PDP-11 and {VAX} were all foci of large and
   important hackerdoms, and DEC machines long dominated the ARPANET
   and Internet machine population.   DEC was the technological leader
   of the minicomputer era (roughly 1967 to 1987), but its failure to
   embrace microcomputers and Unix early cost it heavily in profits and
   prestige after {silicon} got cheap.   Nevertheless, the
   microprocessor design tradition owes a major debt to the PDP-11
   instruction set, and every one of the major general-purpose
   microcomputer OSs so far (CP/M, MS-DOS, Unix, OS/2, Windows NT) was
   either genetically descended from a DEC OS, or incubated on DEC
   hardware, or both.   Accordingly, DEC was for many years still
   regarded with a certain wry affection even among many hackers too
   young to have grown up on DEC machines.
  
      DEC reclaimed some of its old reputation among techies in the first
   half of the 1990s.   The success of the Alpha, an
   innovatively-designed and very high-performance {killer micro},
   helped a lot.   So did DEC's newfound receptiveness to Unix and open
   systems in general.   When Compaq acquired DEC at the end of 1998
   there was some concern that these gains would be lost along with the
   DEC nameplate, but the merged company has so far turned out to be
   culturally dominated by the ex-DEC side.
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   decay n.,vi   [from nuclear physics] An automatic conversion which
   is applied to most array-valued expressions in {C}; they `decay
   into' pointer-valued expressions pointing to the array's first
   element.   This term is borderline techspeak, but is not used in the
   official standard for the language.

   dehose /dee-hohz/ vt.   To clear a {hosed} condition.
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   dike vt.   To remove or disable a portion of something, as a
   wire from a computer or a subroutine from a program.   A standard
   slogan is "When in doubt, dike it out".   (The implication is that it
   is usually more effective to attack software problems by reducing
   complexity than by increasing it.)   The word `dikes' is widely used
   among mechanics and engineers to mean `diagonal cutters', esp. the
   heavy-duty metal-cutting version, but may also refer to a kind of
   wire-cutters used by electronics techs.   To `dike something out'
   means to use such cutters to remove something.   Indeed, the TMRC
   Dictionary defined dike as "to attack with dikes".   Among hackers
   this term has been metaphorically extended to informational objects
   such as sections of code.
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   doc /dok/ n.   Common spoken and written shorthand for
   `documentation'.   Often used in the plural `docs' and in the
   construction `doc file' (i.e., documentation available on-line).
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   dogcow /dog'kow/ n.   See {Moof}.   The dogcow is a
   semi-legendary creature that lurks in the depths of the Macintosh
   Technical Notes Hypercard stack V3.1.   The full story of the dogcow
   is told in technical note #31 (the particular dogcow illustrated is
   properly named `Clarus').   Option-shift-click will cause it to emit
   a characteristic `Moof!' or `!fooM' sound.   _Getting_ to tech note
   31 is the hard part; to discover how to do that, one must needs
   examine the stack script with a hackerly eye.   Clue: {rot13} is
   involved.   A dogcow also appears if you choose `Page Setup...' with
   a LaserWriter selected and click on the `Options' button.   It also
   lurks in other Mac printer drivers, notably those for the
   now-discontinued Style Writers.   Pointers to all things dogcowish
   can be found at `http://developer.apple.com/dev/dts/dogcow.html'.

   dike
  
      To remove or disable a portion of something, as a wire from a
      computer or a subroutine from a program.   A standard slogan is
      "When in doubt, dike it out".   (The implication is that it is
      usually more effective to attack software problems by reducing
      complexity than by increasing it.)   The word "dikes" is widely
      used among mechanics and engineers to mean "diagonal cutters",
      especially the heavy-duty metal-cutting version, but may also
      refer to a kind of wire-cutters used by electronics
      technicians.   To "dike something out" means to use such
      cutters to remove something.   Indeed, the TMRC Dictionary
      defined dike as "to attack with dikes".   Among hackers this
      term has been metaphorically extended to informational objects
      such as sections of code.

   DOS/360
  
      The {operating system} announced by {IBM}
      at the low end for the {System/360} in 1964 and delivered in
      1965 or 1966.
  
      Following the failure of {OS}, IBM designed DOS for the low
      end machines, able to run in 16KB(?) and 64KB memory.
  
      DOS/360 used three {memory partitions}, but it had no serious
      {memory protection}.   The three partitions were not
      specialised, but frequently one was used for {spooling}
      {punched cards} to {disk}, another one for {batch job}
      execution and another for spooling disk to printers.
  
      With DOS/VS, introduced in 1970, the number of partitions was
      increased, {virtual memory} was introduced and the minimum
      memory requirements increased.
  
      Later they released DOS/VSE and ESA/VSE.   DOS/360 successors
      are still alive today (1997) though not as popular as in the
      late 1960s.
  
      Contrary to the Hacker's {Jargon File}, {GECOS} was not copied
      from DOS/360.

   DS0
  
      The zeroth {DS level}, having a transmission
      rate of 64,000 bits per second (64 kb/s), intended to carry
      one {voice channel} (a phone call).
  
      (2001-03-18)
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   DS1
  
      A {DS level} and {framing specification} for
      synchronous digital streams, over circuits in the North
      American {digital transmission hierarchy}, at the {T1}
      transmission rate of 1,544,000 bits per second ({baud}).
  
      DS1 is commonly used to multiplex 24 {DS0} channels.   Each DS0
      channel, originally a digitised voice-grade telephone signal,
      carries 8000 bytes per second (64,000 bits per second).   A DS1
      frame includes one byte from each of the 24 DS0 channels and
      adds one {framing bit}, making a total of 193 bits per frame
      at 8000 frames per second.   The result is 193*8000 = 1,544,000
      bits per second.
  
      In the original standard, the successive framing bits
      continuously repeated the 12-bit sequence 110111001000, and
      such a 12-frame unit is called a super-frame.   In voice
      telephony, errors are acceptable (early standards allowed as
      much as one frame in six to be missing entirely), so the least
      significant bit in two of the 24 streams was used for
      signaling between network equipments.   This is called
      {robbed-bit signaling}.
  
      To promote error-free transmission, an alternative called the
      extended super-frame (ESF) of 24 frames was developed.   In
      this standard, six of the 24 framing bits provide a six bit
      {cyclic redundancy check} (CRC-6), and six provide the actual
      framing.   The other 12 form a virtual circuit of 4000 bits per
      second for use by the transmission equipment, for {call
      progress signals} such as busy, idle and ringing.   DS1 signals
      using ESF equipment are nearly error-free, because the CRC
      detects errors and allows automatic re-routing of connections.
  
      Compare {T-carrier systems}.

   DS1C
  
      A {DS level} and {framing specification} for
      digital signals in the North American digital transmission
      hierarchy.   A DS1C signal uses 48 {PCM} channels and has a
      transmission rate of 3.15 Megabits per second, twice that of
      {DS1}.
  
      DS1C uses two {DS1} signals combined and sent on a 3.152
      megabit per second {carrier} which allows 64 kilobits per
      second for synchronisation and {framing} using "{pulse
      stuffing}".   The channel 2 signal is logically inverted, and a
      framing bit is stuffed in two out of three code words,
      resulting in 26-bit information units.   The channels are
      interleaved and then scrambled by the addition {modulo} 2 of
      the signal with the previous bit.   Finally the bit stream is
      combined with a control bit sequence that permits the
      {demultiplexor} to function by preceding each 52 bits with one
      DS1C framing bit.   A series of 24 such 53-bit frames forms a
      1272-bit "M-frame".

   Dish
      for eating from (2 Kings 21:13). Judas dipped his hand with a
      "sop" or piece of bread in the same dish with our Lord, thereby
      indicating friendly intimacy (Matt. 26:23). The "lordly dish" in
      Judg. 5:25 was probably the shallow drinking cup, usually of
      brass. In Judg. 6:38 the same Hebrew word is rendered "bowl."
     
         The dishes of the tabernacle were made of pure gold (Ex.
      25:29; 37:16).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Doeg
      fearful, an Edomite, the chief overseer of Saul's flocks (1 Sam.
      21:7). At the command of Saul he slew the high priest Ahimelech
      (q.v.) at Nob, together with all the priests to the number of
      eighty-five persons. (Comp. Ps. 52, title.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Dog
      frequently mentioned both in the Old and New Testaments. Dogs
      were used by the Hebrews as a watch for their houses (Isa.
      56:10), and for guarding their flocks (Job 30:1). There were
      also then as now troops of semi-wild dogs that wandered about
      devouring dead bodies and the offal of the streets (1 Kings
      14:11; 16:4; 21:19, 23; 22:38; Ps. 59:6, 14).
     
         As the dog was an unclean animal, the terms "dog," "dog's
      head," "dead dog," were used as terms of reproach or of
      humiliation (1 Sam. 24:14; 2 Sam. 3:8; 9:8; 16:9). Paul calls
      false apostles "dogs" (Phil. 3:2). Those who are shut out of the
      kingdom of heaven are also so designated (Rev. 22:15).
      Persecutors are called "dogs" (Ps. 22:16). Hazael's words, "Thy
      servant which is but a dog" (2 Kings 8:13), are spoken in mock
      humility=impossible that one so contemptible as he should attain
      to such power.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Dough
      (batsek, meaning "swelling," i.e., in fermentation). The dough
      the Israelites had prepared for baking was carried away by them
      out of Egypt in their kneading-troughs (Ex. 12:34, 39). In the
      process of baking, the dough had to be turned (Hos. 7:8).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Duke
      derived from the Latin dux, meaning "a leader;" Arabic, "a
      sheik." This word is used to denote the phylarch or chief of a
      tribe (Gen. 36:15-43; Ex. 15:15; 1 Chr. 1:51-54).
