From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   gedanken /g*-dahn'kn/ adj.   Ungrounded; impractical; not
   well-thought-out; untried; untested.
  
      `Gedanken' is a German word for `thought'.   A thought experiment
   is one you carry out in your head.   In physics, the term `gedanken
   experiment' is used to refer to an experiment that is impractical to
   carry out, but useful to consider because it can be reasoned about
   theoretically.   (A classic gedanken experiment of relativity theory
   involves thinking about a man in an elevator accelerating through
   space.)   Gedanken experiments are very useful in physics, but must
   be used with care.   It's too easy to idealize away some important
   aspect of the real world in constructing the `apparatus'.
  
      Among hackers, accordingly, the word has a pejorative connotation.
   It is typically used of a project, especially one in artificial
   intelligence research, that is written up in grand detail (typically
   as a Ph.D.   thesis) without ever being implemented to any great
   extent.   Such a project is usually perpetrated by people who aren't
   very good hackers or find programming distasteful or are just in a
   hurry.   A `gedanken thesis' is usually marked by an obvious lack of
   intuition about what is programmable and what is not, and about what
   does and does not constitute a clear specification of an algorithm.
   See also {AI-complete}, {DWIM}.

   Godwin's Law prov.   [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows
   longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler
   approaches one."   There is a tradition in many groups that, once
   this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis
   has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress.   Godwin's
   Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on
   thread length in those groups.
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   Good Thing n.,adj.   [very common; often capitalized; always
   pronounced as if capitalized.]   1. Self-evidently wonderful to
   anyone in a position to notice: "A language that manages dynamic
   memory automatically for you is a Good Thing."   2. Something that
   can't possibly have any ill side-effects and may save considerable
   grief later: "Removing the self-modifying code from that shared
   library would be a Good Thing."   3. When said of software tools or
   libraries, as in "YACC is a Good Thing", specifically connotes that
   the thing has drastically reduced a programmer's work load.   Oppose
   {Bad Thing}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Good Thing
  
      (From the 1930 Sellar and Yeatman parody "1066
      And All That") Often capitalised; always pronounced as if
      capitalised.
  
      1. Self-evidently wonderful to anyone in a position to notice:
      "The {Trailblazer}'s 19.2 K{baud} {PEP} mode with {on-the-fly}
      {Lempel-Ziv compression} is a Good Thing for sites relaying
      {netnews}".
  
      2. Something that can't possibly have any ill side-effects and
      may save considerable grief later: "Removing the
      {self-modifying code} from that {shared library} would be a
      Good Thing".
  
      3. When said of software tools or libraries, as in "{Yacc} is
      a Good Thing", specifically connotes that the thing has
      drastically reduced a programmer's work load.
  
      Opposite: {Bad Thing}, compare {big win}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Goodness
      in man is not a mere passive quality, but the deliberate
      preference of right to wrong, the firm and persistent resistance
      of all moral evil, and the choosing and following of all moral
      good.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Goodness of God
      a perfection of his character which he exercises towards his
      creatures according to their various circumstances and relations
      (Ps. 145:8, 9; 103:8; 1 John 4:8). Viewed generally, it is
      benevolence; as exercised with respect to the miseries of his
      creatures it is mercy, pity, compassion, and in the case of
      impenitent sinners, long-suffering patience; as exercised in
      communicating favour on the unworthy it is grace. "Goodness and
      justice are the several aspects of one unchangeable, infinitely
      wise, and sovereign moral perfection. God is not sometimes
      merciful and sometimes just, but he is eternally infinitely just
      and merciful." God is infinitely and unchangeably good (Zeph.
      3:17), and his goodness is incomprehensible by the finite mind
      (Rom. 11: 35, 36). "God's goodness appears in two things, giving
      and forgiving."
