From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
ravs /ravz/, also `Chinese ravs' n.   [primarily MIT/Boston    usage] Jiao-zi (steamed or boiled) or Guo-tie (pan-fried).   A    Chinese appetizer, known variously in the plural as dumplings, pot    stickers (the literal translation of guo-tie), and (around Boston)    `Peking Ravioli'.   The term `rav' is short for `ravioli', and among    hackers always means the Chinese kind rather than the Italian kind.    Both consist of a filling in a pasta shell, but the Chinese kind    includes no cheese, uses a thinner pasta, has a pork-vegetable    filling (good ones include Chinese chives), and is cooked    differently, either by steaming or frying.   A rav or dumpling can be    cooked any way, but a potsticker is always the pan-fried kind (so    called because it sticks to the frying pot and has to be scraped    off).   "Let's get hot-and-sour soup and three orders of ravs."   See    also {{oriental food}}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
RFC /R-F-C/ n.   [Request For Comment] One of a long-established    series of numbered Internet informational documents and standards    widely followed by commercial software and freeware in the Internet    and Unix communities.   Perhaps the single most influential one has    been RFC-822 (the Internet mail-format standard).   The RFCs are    unusual in that they are floated by technical experts acting on    their own initiative and reviewed by the Internet at large, rather    than formally promulgated through an institution such as ANSI.   For    this reason, they remain known as RFCs even once adopted as    standards.          The RFC tradition of pragmatic, experience-driven, after-the-fact    standard writing done by individuals or small working groups has    important advantages over the more formal, committee-driven process    typical of ANSI or ISO.   Emblematic of some of these advantages is    the existence of a flourishing tradition of `joke' RFCs; usually at    least one a year is published, usually on April 1st.   Well-known    joke RFCs have included 527 ("ARPAWOCKY", R. Merryman, UCSD; 22 June    1973), 748 ("Telnet Randomly-Lose Option", Mark R. Crispin; 1 April    1978), and 1149 ("A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on    Avian Carriers", D. Waitzman, BBN STC; 1 April 1990).   The first was    a Lewis Carroll pastiche; the second a parody of the TCP-IP    documentation style, and the third a deadpan skewering of    standards-document legalese, describing protocols for transmitting    Internet data packets by carrier pigeon.          The RFCs are most remarkable for how well they work -- they manage    to have neither the ambiguities that are usually rife in informal    specifications, nor the committee-perpetrated misfeatures that often    haunt formal standards, and they define a network that has grown to    truly worldwide proportions.

RFC 1123          The {RFC} "Requirements for Internet       Hosts Application and Support" which clarifies or changes the       specification of protocols given in earlier RFCs.          RFC 1123 defines the terms "MUST", "SHOULD", "MAY",       "unconditionally compliant", "conditionally compliant".       Capitals are used to emphasise that the official definition of       the word is being used.          MUST or REQUIRED means an absolute requirement for       conformance.          SHOULD or RECOMMENDED means the item can be ignored under       certain circumstances, although the full implications should       be understood.          MAY or OPTIONAL means the implementor can choose, usually       depending on whether it is needed or not.          Something "unconditionally compliant" meets all the MUST and       SHOULD requirements, "conditionally compliant" meets all the       MUST requirements and "not compliant" - does not meet some       MUST requirement.          For example, RFC 1123 amends RFC952 to say software MUST       handle either a letter or a digit as the first character of a       {hostname}.          {(rfc:1123)}.          (1996-01-13)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Rebekah       a noose, the daughter of Bethuel, and the wife of Isaac (Gen.       22:23; 24:67). The circumstances under which Abraham's "steward"       found her at the "city of Nahor," in Padan-aram, are narrated in       Gen. 24-27. "She can hardly be regarded as an amiable woman.       When we first see her she is ready to leave her father's house       for ever at an hour's notice; and her future life showed not       only a full share of her brother Laban's duplicity, but the       grave fault of partiality in her relations to her children, and       a strong will, which soon controlled the gentler nature of her       husband." The time and circumstances of her death are not       recorded, but it is said that she was buried in the cave of       Machpelah (Gen. 49:31).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Rufus       red, the son of Simon the Cyrenian (Mark 15:21), whom the Roman       soldiers compelled to carry the cross on which our Lord was       crucified. Probably it is the same person who is again mentioned       in Rom. 16:13 as a disciple at Rome, whose mother also was a       Christian held in esteem by the apostle. Mark mentions him along       with his brother Alexander as persons well known to his readers       (Mark 15:21).
