From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   film at 11   [MIT: in parody of TV newscasters] 1. Used in
   conversation to announce ordinary events, with a sarcastic
   implication that these events are earth-shattering.   "{{ITS}}
   crashes; film at 11."   "Bug found in scheduler; film at 11."   2.
   Also widely used outside MIT to indicate that additional information
   will be available at some future time, _without_ the implication of
   anything particularly ordinary about the referenced event.   For
   example, "The mail file server died this morning; we found garbage
   all over the root directory.   Film at 11." would indicate that a
   major failure had occurred but that the people working on it have no
   additional information about it as yet; use of the phrase in this
   way suggests gently that the problem is liable to be fixed more
   quickly if the people doing the fixing can spend time doing the
   fixing rather than responding to questions, the answers to which
   will appear on the normal "11:00 news", if people will just be
   patient.
  
      The variant "MPEGs at 11" has recently been cited (MPEG is a

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   film at 11
  
      (MIT, in parody of US TV newscasters) 1. Used in
      conversation to announce ordinary events, with a sarcastic
      implication that these events are earth-shattering.   "{ITS}
      crashes; film at 11."   "Bug found in scheduler; film at 11."
  
      2. Also widely used outside MIT to indicate that additional
      information will be available at some future time, *without*
      the implication of anything particularly ordinary about the
      referenced event.   For example, "The mail file server died
      this morning; we found garbage all over the root directory.
      Film at 11." would indicate that a major failure had occurred
      but that the people working on it have no additional
      information about it as yet; use of the phrase in this way
      suggests gently that the problem is liable to be fixed more
      quickly if the people doing the fixing can spend time doing
      the fixing rather than responding to questions, the answers to
      which will appear on the normal "11:00 news", if people will
      just be patient.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   full-motion video
  
      (FMV) Any system used to deliver moving video images and sound
      on a computer.   Video images and sound are stored on disk;
      {compact disc} is preferred because of the amount of data
      required.   Some form of {video compression} is used to reduce
      the amount of data and to allow it to be read from disk
      quickly enough.   Compression can be relatively slow but
      decompression is done in {real-time} with the picture quality
      and {frame rate} varying with the processing power available,
      the size of the picture and whether it appears in a {window}
      or uses the whole screen.
  
      {Acorn Computers}' system is called {Replay} and {Apple
      Computer}'s is {QuickTime}.
  
      Compare {MPEG}, {H.261}.
  
      [IBM PC equivalent?   Do they all use compression?   Web page?]

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Flint
      abounds in all the plains and valleys of the wilderness of the
      forty years' wanderings. In Isa. 50:7 and Ezek. 3:9 the
      expressions, where the word is used, means that the "Messiah
      would be firm and resolute amidst all contempt and scorn which
      he would meet; that he had made up his mind to endure it, and
      would not shrink from any kind or degree of suffering which
      would be necessary to accomplish the great work in which he was
      engaged." (Comp. Ezek. 3:8, 9.) The words "like a flint" are
      used with reference to the hoofs of horses (Isa. 5:28).
