Fault \Fault\, n.       1. (Elec.) A defective point in an electric circuit due to a             crossing of the parts of the conductor, or to contact with             another conductor or the earth, or to a break in the             circuit.          2. (Geol. & Mining) A dislocation caused by a slipping of             rock masses along a plane of facture; also, the dislocated             structure resulting from such slipping.          Note: The surface along which the dislocated masses have                moved is called the          {fault plane}. When this plane is vertical, the fault is a          {vertical fault}; when its inclination is such that the             present relative position of the two masses could have             been produced by the sliding down, along the fault plane,             of the mass on its upper side, the fault is a          {normal}, [or] {gravity}, {fault}. When the fault plane is so             inclined that the mass on its upper side has moved up             relatively, the fault is then called a          {reverse} (or {reversed}), {thrust}, or {overthrust},       {fault}. If no vertical displacement has resulted, the fault             is then called a          {horizontal fault}. The linear extent of the dislocation             measured on the fault plane and in the direction of             movement is the          {displacement}; the vertical displacement is the          {throw}; the horizontal displacement is the          {heave}. The direction of the line of intersection of the             fault plane with a horizontal plane is the          {trend} of the fault.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
faulty adj.   Non-functional; buggy.   Same denotation as    {bletcherous}, {losing}, q.v., but the connotation is much milder.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
flat adj.   1. [common] Lacking any complex internal structure.    "That {bitty box} has only a flat filesystem, not a hierarchical    one."   The verb form is {flatten}.   2. Said of a memory architecture    (like that of the VAX or 680x0) that is one big linear address space    (typically with each possible value of a processor register    corresponding to a unique core address), as opposed to a `segmented'    architecture (like that of the 80x86) in which addresses are    composed from a base-register/offset pair (segmented designs are    generally considered {cretinous}).          Note that sense 1 (at least with respect to filesystems) is usually    used pejoratively, while sense 2 is a {Good Thing}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
flood v.   [common; IRC] To dump large amounts of text onto an    {IRC} channel.   This is especially rude when the text is    uninteresting and the other users are trying to carry on a serious    conversation.   Also used in a similar sense on Usenet.

field          An area of a {database} {record}, or       {graphical user interface} {form}, into which a particular       item of data is entered.          Example usage: "The telephone number field is not really a       numerical field", "Why do we need a four-digit field for the       year?".          A {database} {column} is the set of all instances of a given       field from all records in a {table}.          (1999-04-26)

flat          1. Lacking any complex internal structure.   "That {bitty box}       has only a flat file system, not a hierarchical one."   The verb       form is {flatten}.   Usually used pejoratively (at least with       respect to file systems).          2. Said of a memory architecture like that of the {VAX} or       {Motorola} {680x0} that is one big linear address space       (typically with each possible value of a processor register       corresponding to a unique address).   This is a {Good Thing}.       The opposite is a "{segmented}" architecture like that of the       {Intel 80x86} in which addresses are composed from a       base-register/offset pair.   Segmented designs are generally       considered cretinous.          3.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
flood          On a real-time network (whether at the level of       {TCP/IP}, or at the level of, say, {IRC}), to send a huge       amount of data to another user (or a group of users, in a       channel) in an attempt to annoy him, lock his terminal, or to       overflow his network buffer and thus lose his network       connection.          The basic principles of flooding are that you should have       better network {bandwidth} than the person you're trying to       flood, and that what you do to flood them (e.g., generate ping       requests) should be *less* resource-expensive for your machine       to produce than for the victim's machine to deal with.   There       is also the corrolary that you should avoid being caught.          Failure to follow these principles regularly produces       hilarious results, e.g., an IRC user flooding himself off the       network while his intended victim is unharmed, the attacker's       flood attempt being detected, and him being banned from the       network in semi-perpetuity.          See also {pingflood}, {clonebot} and {botwar}.          [{Jargon File}]          (1997-04-07)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Field       (Heb. sadeh), a cultivated field, but unenclosed. It is applied       to any cultivated ground or pasture (Gen. 29:2; 31:4; 34:7), or       tillage (Gen. 37:7; 47:24). It is also applied to woodland (Ps.       132:6) or mountain top (Judg. 9:32, 36; 2 Sam. 1:21). It denotes       sometimes a cultivated region as opposed to the wilderness (Gen.       33:19; 36:35). Unwalled villages or scattered houses are spoken       of as "in the fields" (Deut. 28:3, 16; Lev. 25:31; Mark 6:36,       56). The "open field" is a place remote from a house (Gen. 4:8;       Lev. 14:7, 53; 17:5). Cultivated land of any extent was called a       field (Gen. 23:13, 17; 41:8; Lev. 27:16; Ruth 4:5; Neh. 12:29).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Flood       an event recorded in Gen. 7 and 8. (See {DELUGE}.) In       Josh. 24:2, 3, 14, 15, the word "flood" (R.V., "river") means       the river Euphrates. In Ps. 66:6, this word refers to the river       Jordan.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Flute       a musical instrument, probably composed of a number of pipes,       mentioned Dan. 3:5, 7, 10, 15.                In Matt. 9:23, 24, notice is taken of players on the flute,       here called "minstrels" (but in R.V. "flute-players").                Flutes were in common use among the ancient Egyptians.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Fold       an enclosure for flocks to rest together (Isa. 13:20).       Sheep-folds are mentioned Num. 32:16, 24, 36; 2 Sam. 7:8; Zeph.       2:6; John 10:1, etc. It was prophesied of the cities of Ammon       (Ezek. 25:5), Aroer (Isa. 17:2), and Judaea, that they would be       folds or couching-places for flocks. "Among the pots," of the       Authorized Version (Ps. 68:13), is rightly in the Revised       Version, "among the sheepfolds."
