From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   peek n.,vt.   (and {poke}) The commands in most microcomputer
   BASICs for directly accessing memory contents at an absolute
   address; often extended to mean the corresponding constructs in any
   {HLL} (peek reads memory, poke modifies it).   Much hacking on small,
   non-MMU micros used to consist of `peek'ing around memory, more or
   less at random, to find the location where the system keeps
   interesting stuff.   Long (and variably accurate) lists of such
   addresses for various computers circulated (see {{interrupt list}}).
   The results of `poke's at these addresses may be highly useful,
   mildly amusing, useless but neat, or (most likely) total {lossage}
   (see {killer poke}).
  
      Since a {real operating system} provides useful, higher-level
   services for the tasks commonly performed with peeks and pokes on
   micros, and real languages tend not to encourage low-level memory
   groveling, a question like "How do I do a peek in C?" is diagnostic
   of the {newbie}.   (Of course, OS kernels often have to do exactly
   this; a real kernel hacker would unhesitatingly, if unportably,
   assign an absolute address to a pointer variable and indirect
   through it.)
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   phage n.   A program that modifies other programs or databases
   in unauthorized ways; esp. one that propagates a {virus} or {Trojan
   horse}.   See also {worm}, {mockingbird}.   The analogy, of course, is
   with phage viruses in biology.
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   phase   1. n. The offset of one's waking-sleeping schedule with
   respect to the standard 24-hour cycle; a useful concept among people
   who often work at night and/or according to no fixed schedule.   It
   is not uncommon to change one's phase by as much as 6 hours per day
   on a regular basis.   "What's your phase?"   "I've been getting in
   about 8 P.M. lately, but I'm going to {wrap around} to the day
   schedule by Friday."   A person who is roughly 12 hours out of phase
   is sometimes said to be in `night mode'.   (The term `day mode' is
   also (but less frequently) used, meaning you're working 9 to 5 (or,
   more likely, 10 to 6).)   The act of altering one's cycle is called
   `changing phase'; `phase shifting' has also been recently reported
   from Caltech.   2. `change phase the hard way': To stay awake for a
   very long time in order to get into a different phase.   3. `change
   phase the easy way': To stay asleep, etc.   However, some claim that
   either staying awake longer or sleeping longer is easy, and that it
   is _shortening_ your day or night that is really hard (see {wrap
   around}).   The `jet lag' that afflicts travelers who cross many
   time-zone boundaries may be attributed to two distinct causes: the
   strain of travel per se, and the strain of changing phase.   Hackers
   who suddenly find that they must change phase drastically in a short
   period of time, particularly the hard way, experience something very
   like jet lag without traveling.

   {nano-} and {micro-} are, but should be instantly recognizable to
   any hacker.   See also {{quantifiers}}, {micro-}.

   push   [from the operation that puts the current information on
   a stack, and the fact that procedure return addresses are saved on a
   stack] (Also PUSH /push/ or PUSHJ /push'J/, the latter based on the
   PDP-10 procedure call instruction.) 1. To put something onto a
   {stack} or {PDL}.   If one says that something has been pushed onto
   one's stack, it means that the Damoclean list of things hanging over
   ones's head has grown longer and heavier yet.   This may also imply
   that one will deal with it _before_ other pending items; otherwise
   one might say that the thing was `added to my queue'.   2. vi. To
   enter upon a digression, to save the current discussion for later.
   Antonym of {pop}; see also {stack}, {PDL}.

      of Gileadites, and succeeded (B.C. 758) on the throne (2 Kings
      15:25). Seventeen years after this he entered into an alliance
      with Rezin, king of Syria, and took part with him in besieging
      Jerusalem (2 Kings 15:37; 16:5). But Tiglath-pilser, who was in
      alliance with Ahaz, king of Judah, came up against Pekah, and
      carried away captive many of the inhabitants of his kingdom (2
      Kings 15:29). This was the beginning of the "Captivity." Soon
      after this Pekah was put to death by Hoshea, the son of Elah,
      who usurped the throne (2 Kings 15:30; 16:1-9. Comp. Isa. 7:16;
      8:4; 9:12). He is supposed by some to have been the "shephard"
