From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
N /N/ quant.   1. A large and indeterminate number of objects:    "There were N bugs in that crock!"   Also used in its original sense    of a variable name: "This crock has N bugs, as N goes to infinity."    (The true number of bugs is always at least N + 1; see {Lubarsky's    Law of Cybernetic Entomology}.)   2. A variable whose value is    inherited from the current context.   For example, when a meal is    being ordered at a restaurant, N may be understood to mean however    many people there are at the table.   From the remark "We'd like to    order N wonton soups and a family dinner for N - 1" you      can    deduce that one person at the table wants to eat only soup, even    though you don't know how many people there are (see {great-wall}).    3. `Nth': adj. The ordinal counterpart of N, senses 1 and 2.   "Now    for the Nth and last time..." In the specific context "Nth-year grad       student", N is generally assumed to be at least 4, and is usually    5 or more (see {tenured graduate student}).   See also {{random    numbers}}, {two-to-the-N}.

NMI /N-M-I/ n.   Non-Maskable Interrupt.   An IRQ 7 on the PDP-11    or 680[01234]0; the NMI line on an 80[1234]86.   In contrast with a    {priority interrupt} (which might be ignored, although that is    unlikely), an NMI is _never_ ignored.   Except, that is, on {clone}    boxes, where NMI is often ignored on the motherboard because flaky    hardware can generate many spurious ones.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
No       or No-A'mon, the home of Amon, the name of Thebes, the ancient       capital of what is called the Middle Empire, in Upper or       Southern Egypt. "The multitude of No" (Jer. 46:25) is more       correctly rendered, as in the Revised Version, "Amon of No",       i.e., No, where Jupiter Amon had his temple. In Ezek. 30:14, 16       it is simply called "No;" but in ver. 15 the name has the Hebrew       Hamon prefixed to it, "Hamon No." This prefix is probably the       name simply of the god usually styled Amon or Ammon. In Nah. 3:8       the "populous No" of the Authorized Version is in the Revised       Version correctly rendered "No-Amon."                It was the Diospolis or Thebes of the Greeks, celebrated for       its hundred gates and its vast population. It stood on both       sides of the Nile, and is by some supposed to have included       Karnak and Luxor. In grandeur and extent it can only be compared       to Nineveh. It is mentioned only in the prophecies referred to,       which point to its total destruction. It was first taken by the       Assyrians in the time of Sargon (Isa. 20). It was afterwards       "delivered into the hand" of Nebuchadnezzar and Assurbani-pal       (Jer. 46:25, 26). Cambyses, king of the Persians (B.C. 525),       further laid it waste by fire. Its ruin was completed (B.C. 81)       by Ptolemy Lathyrus. The ruins of this city are still among the       most notable in the valley of the Nile. They have formed a great       storehouse of interesting historic remains for more than two       thousand years. "As I wandered day after day with ever-growing       amazement amongst these relics of ancient magnificence, I felt       that if all the ruins in Europe, classical, Celtic, and       medieval, were brought together into one centre, they would fall       far short both in extent and grandeur of those of this single       Egyptian city." Manning, The Land of the Pharaohs.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Noah       rest, (Heb. Noah) the grandson of Methuselah (Gen. 5:25-29), who       was for two hundred and fifty years contemporary with Adam, and       the son of Lamech, who was about fifty years old at the time of       Adam's death. This patriarch is rightly regarded as the       connecting link between the old and the new world. He is the       second great progenitor of the human family.                The words of his father Lamech at his birth (Gen. 5:29) have       been regarded as in a sense prophetical, designating Noah as a       type of Him who is the true "rest and comfort" of men under the       burden of life (Matt.11:28).                He lived five hundred years, and then there were born unto him       three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth (Gen. 5:32). He was a "just       man and perfect in his generation," and "walked with God" (comp.       Ezek. 14:14,20). But now the descendants of Cain and of Seth       began to intermarry, and then there sprang up a race       distinguished for their ungodliness. Men became more and more       corrupt, and God determined to sweep the earth of its wicked       population (Gen. 6:7). But with Noah God entered into a       covenant, with a promise of deliverance from the threatened       deluge (18). He was accordingly commanded to build an ark       (6:14-16) for the saving of himself and his house. An interval       of one hundred and twenty years elapsed while the ark was being       built (6:3), during which Noah bore constant testimony against       the unbelief and wickedness of that generation (1 Pet. 3:18-20;       2 Pet. 2:5).                When the ark of "gopher-wood" (mentioned only here) was at       length completed according to the command of the Lord, the       living creatures that were to be preserved entered into it; and       then Noah and his wife and sons and daughters-in-law entered it,       and the "Lord shut him in" (Gen.7:16). The judgment-threatened       now fell on the guilty world, "the world that then was, being       overflowed with water, perished" (2 Pet. 3:6). The ark floated       on the waters for one hundred and fifty days, and then rested on       the mountains of Ararat (Gen. 8:3,4); but not for a considerable       time after this was divine permission given him to leave the       ark, so that he and his family were a whole year shut up within       it (Gen. 6-14).                On leaving the ark Noah's first act was to erect an altar, the       first of which there is any mention, and offer the sacrifices of       adoring thanks and praise to God, who entered into a covenant       with him, the first covenant between God and man, granting him       possession of the earth by a new and special charter, which       remains in force to the present time (Gen. 8:21-9:17). As a sign       and witness of this covenant, the rainbow was adopted and set       apart by God, as a sure pledge that never again would the earth       be destroyed by a flood.                But, alas! Noah after this fell into grievous sin (Gen. 9:21);       and the conduct of Ham on this sad occasion led to the memorable       prediction regarding his three sons and their descendants. Noah       "lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years, and he       died" (28:29). (See {DELUGE}).                Noah, motion, (Heb. No'ah) one of the five daughters of       Zelophehad (Num.26:33; 27:1; 36:11; Josh. 17:3).
