meta /me't*/ or /may't*/ or (Commonwealth) /mee't*/ adj.,pref.    [from analytic philosophy] One level of description up.   A    metasyntactic variable is a variable in notation used to describe    syntax, and meta-language is language used to describe language.    This is difficult to explain briefly, but much hacker humor turns on    deliberate confusion between meta-levels.   See {{hacker humor}}.

mod vt.,n.   [very common] 1. Short for `modify' or    `modification'.   Very commonly used -- in fact the full terms are    considered markers that one is being formal.   The plural `mods' is    used esp. with reference to bug fixes or minor design changes in    hardware or software, most esp. with respect to {patch} sets or a    {diff}.   2. Short for {modulo} but used _only_ for its techspeak    sense.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
mode n.   [common] A general state, usually used with an    adjective describing the state.   Use of the word `mode' rather than    `state' implies that the state is extended over time, and probably    also that some activity characteristic of that state is being    carried out. "No time to hack; I'm in thesis mode."   In its jargon    sense, `mode' is most often attributed to people, though it is    sometimes applied to programs and inanimate objects. In particular,    see {hack mode}, {day mode}, {night mode}, {demo mode}, {fireworks    mode}, and {yoyo mode}; also {talk mode}.          One also often hears the verbs `enable' and `disable' used in    connection with jargon modes.   Thus, for example, a sillier way of    saying "I'm going to crash" is "I'm going to enable crash mode now".    One might also hear a request to "disable flame mode, please".          In a usage much closer to techspeak, a mode is a special state that    certain user interfaces must pass into in order to perform certain    functions.   For example, in order to insert characters into a    document in the Unix editor `vi', one must type the "i" key, which    invokes the "Insert" command.   The effect of this command is to put    vi into "insert mode", in which typing the "i" key has a quite    different effect (to wit, it inserts an "i" into the document).   One    must then hit another special key, "ESC", in order to leave "insert    mode".   Nowadays, modeful interfaces are generally considered    {losing} but survive in quite a few widely used tools built in less    enlightened times.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
MUD /muhd/ n.   [acronym, Multi-User Dungeon; alt.   Multi-User    Dimension] 1.   A class of {virtual reality} experiments accessible    via the Internet.   These are real-time chat forums with structure;    they have multiple `locations' like an adventure game, and may    include combat, traps, puzzles, magic, a simple economic system, and    the capability for characters to build more structure onto the    database that represents the existing world.   2. vi. To play a MUD.    The acronym MUD is often lowercased and/or verbed; thus, one may    speak of `going mudding', etc.          Historically, MUDs (and their more recent progeny with names of MU-    form) derive from a hack by Richard Bartle and Roy Trubshaw on the    University of Essex's DEC-10 in the early 1980s; descendants of that    game still exist today and are sometimes generically called    BartleMUDs.   There is a widespread myth (repeated, unfortunately, by    earlier versions of this lexicon) that the name MUD was trademarked    to the commercial MUD run by Bartle on British Telecom (the motto:    "You haven't _lived_ 'til you've _died_ on MUD!"); however, this is    false -- Richard Bartle explicitly placed `MUD' in the public domain    in 1985.   BT was upset at this, as they had already printed    trademark claims on some maps and posters, which were released and    created the myth.          Students on the European academic networks quickly improved on the    MUD concept, spawning several new MUDs (VAXMUD, AberMUD, LPMUD).    Many of these had associated bulletin-board systems for social    interaction.   Because these had an image as `research' they often    survived administrative hostility to BBSs in general.   This,    together with the fact that Usenet feeds were often spotty and    difficult to get in the U.K., made the MUDs major foci of hackish    social interaction there.          AberMUD and other variants crossed the Atlantic around 1988 and    quickly gained popularity in the U.S.; they became nuclei for large    hacker communities with only loose ties to traditional hackerdom    (some observers see parallels with the growth of Usenet in the early    1980s).   The second wave of MUDs (TinyMUD and variants) tended to    emphasize social interaction, puzzles, and cooperative    world-building as opposed to combat and competition (in writing,    these social MUDs are sometimes referred to as `MU*', with `MUD'    implicitly reserved for the more game-oriented ones).   By 1991, over    50% of MUD sites were of a third major variety, LPMUD, which    synthesizes the combat/puzzle aspects of AberMUD and older systems    with the extensibility of TinyMud.   In 1996 the cutting edge of the    technology is Pavel Curtis's MOO, even more extensible using a    built-in object-oriented language.   The trend toward greater    programmability and flexibility will doubtless continue.          The state of the art in MUD design is still moving very rapidly,    with new simulation designs appearing (seemingly) every month.    Around 1991 there was an unsuccessful movement to deprecate the term    {MUD} itself, as newer designs exhibit an exploding variety of names    corresponding to the different simulation styles being explored.   It    survived.   See also {bonk/oif}, {FOD}, {link-dead}, {mudhead}, {talk    mode}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
muddie n.   Syn. {mudhead}.   More common in Great Britain,    possibly because system administrators there like to mutter "bloody    muddies" when annoyed at the species.

There are .MOD players for most       {personal computer}s including {Amiga}, {Archimedes}, {IBM       PC}, and {Macintosh}.          An {IBM PC} will require a {sound card} capable of handling       digitised samples ({Sound Blaster}, {Sound Blaster Pro},       {GUS}) and slower {Intel 80386}-based PCs may not be able to       do anything else while playing a module.          .MOD files differ from .MID ({MIDI}) files in that they       contain sound samples.   This allows each song to use different       sounds but it also puts more load on the {CPU} than playing a       MIDI file, since more data must be processed for each note.   A       slow CPU would benefit from a sound card with {wavetable       synthesis} which handles samples instead of the CPU.          Module files come in various formats including .MOD.   Formats       evolved from .MOD include .S3M, .FAR and .669.   Most contain       improvements on .MODs.          {(http://www.eskimo.com/~future/mods.htm)}.          2. modify or modification.          This abbreviation is very common - in fact the full terms are       considered formal.   "Mods" is used especially with reference       to bug fixes or minor design changes in hardware or software,       most especially with respect to {patch} sets or a {diff}.          3. A common name for the {modulo} operator.          (1999-07-14)

mode          1. A general state, usually used with an adjective describing       the state.   Use of the word "mode" rather than "state" implies       that the state is extended over time, and probably also that       some activity characteristic of that state is being carried       out. "No time to hack; I'm in thesis mode."          In its jargon sense, "mode" is most often attributed to       people, though it is sometimes applied to programs and       inanimate objects.   In particular, see {hack mode}, {day       mode}, {night mode}, {demo mode}, {fireworks mode}, and {yoyo       mode}; also {chat}.          2. More technically, a mode is a special state that certain       user interfaces must pass into in order to perform certain       functions.   For example, in order to insert characters into a       document in the Unix editor "vi", one must type the "i" key,       which invokes the "Insert" command.   The effect of this       command is to put vi into "insert mode", in which typing the       "i" key has a quite different effect (to wit, it inserts an       "i" into the document).   One must then hit another special       key, "ESC", in order to leave "insert mode".   Nowadays,       modeful interfaces are generally considered {losing} but       survive in quite a few widely used tools built in less       enlightened times.          [{Jargon File}]          (1994-12-22)

Madai       middle land, the third "son" of Japheth (Gen. 10:2), the name by       which the Medes are known on the Assyrian monuments.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mahath       grasping. (1.) A Kohathite Levite, father of Elkanah (1 Chr.       6:35).                (2.) Another Kohathite Levite, of the time of Hezekiah (2 Chr.       29:12).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Matthew       gift of God, a common Jewish name after the Exile. He was the       son of Alphaeus, and was a publican or tax-gatherer at       Capernaum. On one occasion Jesus, coming up from the side of the       lake, passed the custom-house where Matthew was seated, and said       to him, "Follow me." Matthew arose and followed him, and became       his disciple (Matt. 9:9). Formerly the name by which he was       known was Levi (Mark 2:14; Luke 5:27); he now changed it,       possibly in grateful memory of his call, to Matthew. The same       day on which Jesus called him he made a "great feast" (Luke       5:29), a farewell feast, to which he invited Jesus and his       disciples, and probably also many of old associates. He was       afterwards selected as one of the twelve (6:15). His name does       not occur again in the Gospel history except in the lists of the       apostles. The last notice of him is in Acts 1:13. The time and       manner of his death are unknown.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Meadow       (1.) Heb. ha'ahu (Gen. 41:2, 18), probably an Egyptain word       transferred to the Hebrew; some kind of reed or water-plant. In       the Revised Version it is rendered "reed-grass", i.e., the sedge       or rank grass by the river side.                (2.) Heb. ma'areh (Judg. 20:33), pl., "meadows of Gibeah"       (R.V., after the LXX., "Maareh-geba"). Some have adopted the       rendering "after Gibeah had been left open." The Vulgate       translates the word "from the west."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mede       (Heb. Madai), a Median or inhabitant of Media (Dan. 11:1). In       Gen. 10:2 the Hebrew word occurs in the list of the sons of       Japheth. But probably this is an ethnic and not a personal name,       and denotes simply the Medes as descended from Japheth.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Media       Heb. Madai, which is rendered in the Authorized Version (1)       "Madai," Gen. 10:2; (2) "Medes," 2 Kings 17:6; 18:11; (3)       "Media," Esther 1:3; 10:2; Isa. 21:2; Dan. 8:20; (4) "Mede,"       only in Dan. 11:1.                We first hear of this people in the Assyrian cuneiform       records, under the name of Amada, about B.C. 840. They appear to       have been a branch of the Aryans, who came from the east bank of       the Indus, and were probably the predominant race for a while in       the Mesopotamian valley. They consisted for three or four       centuries of a number of tribes, each ruled by its own chief,       who at length were brought under the Assyrian yoke (2 Kings       17:6). From this subjection they achieved deliverance, and       formed themselves into an empire under Cyaxares (B.C. 633). This       monarch entered into an alliance with the king of Babylon, and       invaded Assyria, capturing and destroying the city of Nineveh       (B.C. 625), thus putting an end to the Assyrian monarchy (Nah.       1:8; 2:5,6; 3:13, 14).                Media now rose to a place of great power, vastly extending its       boundaries. But it did not long exist as an independent kingdom.       It rose with Cyaxares, its first king, and it passed away with       him; for during the reign of his son and successor Astyages, the       Persians waged war against the Medes and conquered them, the two       nations being united under one monarch, Cyrus the Persian (B.C.       558).                The "cities of the Medes" are first mentioned in connection       with the deportation of the Israelites on the destruction of       Samaria (2 Kings 17:6; 18:11). Soon afterwards Isaiah (13:17;       21:2) speaks of the part taken by the Medes in the destruction       of Babylon (comp. Jer. 51:11, 28). Daniel gives an account of       the reign of Darius the Mede, who was made viceroy by Cyrus       (Dan. 6:1-28). The decree of Cyrus, Ezra informs us (6:2-5), was       found in "the palace that is in the province of the Medes,"       Achmetha or Ecbatana of the Greeks, which is the only Median       city mentioned in Scripture.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mite       contraction of minute, from the Latin minutum, the translation       of the Greek word lepton, the very smallest bronze of copper       coin (Luke 12:59; 21:2). Two mites made one quadrans, i.e., the       fourth part of a Roman as, which was in value nearly a       halfpenny. (See {FARTHING}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mote       (Gr. karphos, something dry, hence a particle of wood or chaff,       etc.). A slight moral defect is likened to a mote (Matt. 7:3-5;       Luke 6:41, 42).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Moth       Heb. 'ash, from a root meaning "to fall away," as moth-eaten       garments fall to pieces (Job 4:19; 13:28; Isa. 50:9; 51:8; Hos.       5:12).                Gr. ses, thus rendered in Matt. 6:19, 20; Luke 12:33. Allusion       is thus made to the destruction of clothing by the larvae of the       clothes-moth. This is the only lepidopterous insect referred to       in Scripture.
