   Barometer \Ba*rom"e*ter\, n. [Gr. [?] weight + -meter: cf. F.
      barom[8a]tre.]
      An instrument for determining the weight or pressure of the
      atmosphere, and hence for judging of the probable changes of
      weather, or for ascertaining the height of any ascent.
  
      Note: The barometer was invented by Torricelli at Florence
               about 1643. It is made in its simplest form by filling
               a graduated glass tube about 34 inches long with
               mercury and inverting it in a cup containing mercury.
               The column of mercury in the tube descends until
               balanced by the weight of the atmosphere, and its rise
               or fall under varying conditions is a measure of the
               change in the atmospheric pressure. At the sea level
               its ordinary height is about 30 inches (760
               millimeters). See {Sympiesometer}. --Nichol.
  
      {Aneroid barometer}. See {Aneroid barometer}, under
            {Aneroid}.
  
      {Marine barometer}, a barometer with tube contracted at
            bottom to prevent rapid oscillations of the mercury, and
            suspended in gimbals from an arm or support on shipboard.
           
  
      {Mountain barometer}, a portable mercurial barometer with
            tripod support, and long scale, for measuring heights.
  
      {Siphon barometer}, a barometer having a tube bent like a
            hook with the longer leg closed at the top. The height of
            the mercury in the longer leg shows the pressure of the
            atmosphere.
  
      {Wheel barometer}, a barometer with recurved tube, and a
            float, from which a cord passes over a pulley and moves an
            index.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   mundane n.   [from SF fandom] 1. A person who is not in science
   fiction fandom.   2. A person who is not in the computer industry.
   In this sense, most often an adjectival modifier as in "in my
   mundane life...." See also {Real World}.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   maintainer
  
      The person responsible for coordinating changes to
      a package of {software} and arranging the distribution of
      updates.   The term usually applies only to {free software}
      where the maintainer (often the author) is doing it as a free
      public service.
  
      (2001-01-27)
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   maintainer script
  
      One of the scripts (preinst, prerm, postinst, postrm)
      that may be included in a {Debian} {binary package}.   These
      scripts may create and/or remove {symlinks}, files or
      directories that, for some reason, could not be done directly
      by {dpkg}.   Maintainer scripts frequently create or update the
      symlinks in the /etc/rc?.d directories and start, stop, or
      restart {daemons}.
  
      (2000-05-31)
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   maintenance
  
      The modification of a software product, after
      delivery, to correct faults, to improve performance or other
      attributes, or to adapt the product to a changed environment.
  
      Maintenance is an important part of the {software life-cycle}.
      It is expensive in manpower and resources, and one of the aims
      of {software engineering} is to reduce its cost.
  
      (1996-12-27)
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Mean Time Between Failures
  
      (MTBF, or "Mean Time Between Faults") The
      {average} time (usually expressed in hours) that a {component}
      works without failure.   It is calculated by dividing the total
      number of failures into the total number of operating hours
      observed.   The term can also mean the length of time a user
      may reasonably expect a device or system to work before an
      incapacitating fault occurs.
  
      See also {Mean Time To Recovery}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Mean Time Between Faults
  
      {Mean Time Between Failures}
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Mean Time To Recovery
  
      (MTTR) The average time that a device will
      take to recover from a non-terminal failure.   Examples of such
      devices range from self-resetting fuses (where the MTTR would
      be very short, probably seconds), up to whole systems which
      have to be replaced.
  
      The MTTR would usually be part of a maintenance contract,
      where the user would pay more for a system whose MTTR was 24
      hours, than for one of, say, 7 days.   This means the supplier
      is guaranteeing to have the system up and running again within
      24 hours (or 7 days) of being notified of the failure.
  
      Some devices have a MTTR of zero, which means that they have
      redundant components which can take over the instant the
      primary one fails, see {RAID} for example.
  
      See also {Mean Time Between Failures}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   mind mouse
  
      A {pointing device} (unlike a {mouse} in design,
      but serving the same purpose) which works via sensors in
      contact with the user's skin.   The sensors are built into a
      plastic base which fits on one finger and which is similar in
      shape to a finger cast.
  
      The principle of operation is presumably myoelectric, not
      psionic, contrary to what the name implies.
  
      As of the time of writing (1996), mind mice are not accurate
      enough to be anything but novelties.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   monotonic
  
      In {domain theory}, a function f : D -> C is monotonic (or
      monotone) if
  
      for all x,y in D,   x <= y   =>   f(x) <= f(y).

   mundane
  
      Someone outside some group that is implicit from the
      context, such as the computer industry or science fiction
      fandom.   The implication is that those in the group are
      special and those outside are just ordinary.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Mahaneh-dan
      Judg. 18:12 = "camp of Dan" 13:25 (R.V., "Mahaneh-dan"), a place
      behind (i.e., west of) Kirjath-jearim, where the six hundred
      Danites from Zorah and Eshtaol encamped on their way to capture
      the city of Laish, which they rebuilt and called "Dan, after the
      name of their father" (18:11-31). The Palestine Explorers point
      to a ruin called 'Erma, situated about 3 miles from the great
      corn valley on the east of Samson's home.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Mahanehdan, tents of judgment
