It             burns without ash, with explosion if confined, but quietly             and harmlessly if free and open, and in small quantity.             Specifically, the lower nitrates of cellulose which are             insoluble in ether and alcohol in distinction from the             highest (pyroxylin) which is soluble. See {Pyroxylin}, and             cf. {Xyloidin}. The gun cottons are used for blasting and             somewhat in gunnery: for making celluloid when compounded             with camphor; and the soluble variety (pyroxylin) for             making collodion. See {Celluloid}, and {Collodion}. Gun             cotton is frequenty but improperly called nitrocellulose.             It is not a nitro compound, but an ethereal salt of nitric             acid.          {Gun deck}.

Several             hundred shots can be fired in a minute with accurate aim.             The {Gatling gun}, {Gardner gun}, {Hotchkiss gun}, and             {Nordenfelt gun}, named for their inventors, and the             French {mitrailleuse}, are machine guns.          {To blow great guns} (Naut.), to blow a gale.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
gamma correction          Adjustments applied during the display of a digital       representation of colour on a screen in order to compensate       for the fact that the {Cathode Ray Tubes} used in computer       {monitors} (and televisions) produce a light intensity which       is not proportional to the input {voltage}.   The light       intensity is actually proportional to the input voltage raised       to the inverse power of some constant, called gamma.   Its       value varies from one display to another, but is usually       around 2.5.          Because it is more intuitive for the colour components (red,       green and blue) to be varied linearly in the computer, the       actual voltages sent to the monitor by the {display hardware}       must be adjusted in order to make the colour component       intensity on the screen proportional to the value stored in       the computer's {display memory}.   This process is most easily       achieved by a dedicated module in the display hardware which       simply scales the outputs of the {display memory} before       sending them to the {digital-to-analogue converters}.          More expensive {graphics cards} and {workstations}       (particularly those used for {CAD} applications) will have a       gamma correction facility.          In combination with the "{white-point}" gamma correction is       used to achieve precise colour matching.          {Robert Berger's explanation of monitor gamma       (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/rwb/www/gamma.html)}.          [{"Digital Imaging in C and the World Wide Web", W.

Gennesaret       a garden of riches. (1.) A town of Naphtali, called Chinnereth       (Josh. 19:35), sometimes in the plural form Chinneroth (11:2).       In later times the name was gradually changed to Genezar and       Gennesaret (Luke 5:1). This city stood on the western shore of       the lake to which it gave its name. No trace of it remains. The       plain of Gennesaret has been called, from its fertility and       beauty, "the Paradise of Galilee." It is now called el-Ghuweir.                (2.)
