Effect, which                   may be regarded as the generic term, denotes that                   which springs directly from something which can                   properly be termed a cause. A consequence is more                   remote, not being strictly caused, nor yet a mere                   sequence, but following out of and following                   indirectly, or in the train of events, something on                   which it truly depends. A result is still more remote                   and variable, like the rebound of an elastic body                   which falls in very different directions. We may                   foresee the effects of a measure, may conjecture its                   consequences, but can rarely discover its final                   results.                               Resolving all events, with their effects And                            manifold results, into the will And arbitration                            wise of the Supreme.                     --Cowper.                               Shun the bitter consequence, for know, The day                            thou eatest thereof, . . . thou shalt die.                                                                               --Milton.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Reserve \Re*serve"\, n.       1. (Finance)             (a) That part of the assets of a bank or other financial                   institution specially kept in cash in a more or less                   liquid form as a reasonable provision for meeting all                   demands which may be made upon it; specif.:             (b) (Banking) Usually, the uninvested cash kept on hand                   for this purpose, called the {real reserve}. In Great                   Britain the ultimate real reserve is the gold kept on                   hand in the Bank of England, largely represented by                   the notes in hand in its own banking department; and                   any balance which a bank has with the Bank of England                   is a part of its reserve. In the United States the                   reserve of a national bank consists of the amount of                   lawful money it holds on hand against deposits, which                   is required by law to be not less than 15 per cent                   (--U. S. Rev. Stat. secs. 5191, 5192), three fifths of                   which the banks not in a reserve city (which see) may                   keep deposited as balances in national banks that are                   in reserve cities (--U. S. Rev. Stat. sec. 5192).             (c) (Life Insurance) The amount of funds or assets                   necessary for a company to have at any given time to                   enable it, with interest and premiums paid as they                   shall accure, to meet all claims on the insurance then                   in force as they would mature according to the                   particular mortality table accepted. The reserve is                   always reckoned as a liability, and is calculated on                   net premiums. It is theoretically the difference                   between the present value of the total insurance and                   the present value of the future premiums on the                   insurance. The reserve, being an amount for which                   another company could, theoretically, afford to take                   over the insurance, is sometimes called the          {reinsurance fund} or the          {self-insurance fund}. For the first year upon any policy the             net premium is called the          {initial reserve}, and the balance left at the end of the             year including interest is the          {terminal reserve}. For subsequent years the initial reserve             is the net premium, if any, plus the terminal reserve of             the previous year. The portion of the reserve to be             absorbed from the initial reserve in any year in payment             of losses is sometimes called the          {insurance reserve}, and the terminal reserve is then called             the          {investment reserve}.          2. In exhibitions, a distinction which indicates that the             recipient will get a prize if another should be             disqualified.          3. (Calico Printing) A resist.          4. A preparation used on an object being electroplated to fix             the limits of the deposit.          5. See {Army organization}, above.

Infocom n.   A now-legendary games company, active from 1979 to    1989, that commercialized the MDL parser technology used for {Zork}    to produce a line of text adventure games that remain favorites    among hackers.   Infocom's games were intelligent, funny, witty,    erudite, irreverent, challenging, satirical, and most thoroughly    hackish in spirit.   The physical game packages from Infocom are now    prized collector's items.   After being acquired by Activision in    1989 they did a few more "modern" (e.g. graphics-intensive) games    which were less successful than reissues of their classics.          The software, thankfully, is still extant; Infocom games were    written in a kind of P-code and distributed with a P-code    interpreter core, and not only freeware emulators for that    interpreter but an actual compiler as well have been written to    permit the P-code to be run on platforms the games never originally    graced. In fact, new games written in this P-code are still bering    written.   (Emulators that can run Infocom game ZIPs, and new games,    are available at    `ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu:/doc/misc/if-archive/infocom'.)
