secondary damage n.   When a fatal error occurs (esp. a    {segfault}) the immediate cause may be that a pointer has been    trashed due to a previous {fandango on core}.   However, this    fandango may have been due to an _earlier_ fandango, so no amount of    analysis will reveal (directly) how the damage occurred.   "The data    structure was clobbered, but it was secondary damage."          By extension, the corruption resulting from N cascaded fandangoes    on core is `Nth-level damage'.   There is at least one case on record    in which 17 hours of {grovel}ling with `adb' actually dug up the    underlying bug behind an instance of seventh-level damage!   The    hacker who accomplished this near-superhuman feat was presented with    an award by his fellows.

second-system effect n.   (sometimes, more euphoniously,    `second-system syndrome') When one is designing the successor to a    relatively small, elegant, and successful system, there is a    tendency to become grandiose in one's success and design an    {elephantine} feature-laden monstrosity.   The term was first used by    Fred Brooks in his classic "The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on    Software Engineering" (Addison-Wesley, 1975; ISBN 0-201-00650-2).    It described the jump from a set of nice, simple operating systems    on the IBM 70xx series to OS/360 on the 360 series.   A similar    effect can also happen in an evolving system; see {Brooks's Law},    {creeping elegance}, {creeping featurism}.   See also {{Multics}},    {OS/2}, {X}, {software bloat}.          This version of the jargon lexicon has been described (with    altogether too much truth for comfort) as an example of    second-system effect run amok on jargon-1....

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
second generation computer          A computer built from {transistors}, designed       between the mid-1950s and mid-1960s.          {Ferrite core memory} and {magnetic drums} replaced {cathode       ray tubes} and {delay-line storage} for main {memory}.   {Index       registers} and {floating point} arithmetic hardware became       widespread.   Machine-independent {high level programming       languages} such as {ALGOL}, {COBOL} and {Fortran} were       introduced to simplify programming.          {I/O processors} were introduced to supervise input-output       operations independently of the {CPU} thus freeing the CPU       from time-consuming housekeeping functions.   The CPU would       send the I/O processor an initial instruction to start       operating and the I/O processor would then continue       independently of the CPU.   When completed, or in the event of       an error, the I/O processor sent an {interrupt} to the CPU.          {Batch} processing became feasible with the improvement in I/O       and storage technology in that a batch of jobs could be       prepared in advance, stored on magnetic tape and processed on       the computer in one continuous operation placing the results       on another magnetic tape.   It became commonplace for       auxiliary, small computers to be used to process the input and       output tapes off-line thus leaving the main computer free to       process user programs.   Computer manufacturers began to       provide system software such as {compilers}, {subroutine}       libraries and batch monitors.          With the advent of second generation computers it became       necessary to talk about computer systems, since the number of       memory units, processors, I/O devices, and other system       components could vary between different installations, even       though the same basic computer was used.          The instruction repertoire of the {IBM 7094} (a typical second       generation machine) had over 200 instructions including data       transfer instructions for transferring a {word} of information       between the CPU and memory or between two CPU registers;       fixed-point and floating point arithmetic instructions;       {logic} instructions (AND, OR etc.); instructions for       modifying {index registers}; conditional and unconditional       branching; {subroutines}; input-output operations for       transferring data between I/O devices and main memory.          (1996-11-25)

secondary storage          Any {non-volatile} storage medium that is not       directly accessible to the {processor}.   Memory directly       accessible to the processor includes {main memory}, {cache}       and the {CPU} {registers}.   Secondary storage includes {hard       drives}, {magnetic tape}, {CD-ROM}, {DVD drives}, {floppy       disks}, {punch cards} and {paper tape}.          Secondary storage devices are usually accessed via some kind       of controller.   This contains registers that can be directly       accessed by the CPU like main memory ("{memory mapped}").       Reading and writing these registers can cause the device to       perform actions like reading a block of data off a disk or       rewinding a tape.   See also {DMA}.          Programs and data stored in secondary storage must first be       loaded into main memory before the processor can use them.          (1997-11-05)

signature          1. A set of function symbols with {arities}.          2. (Or sig) A few lines of information about the       sender of an {electronic mail} message or {news} {posting}.       Most {Unix} mail and news software will {automagically} append       a signature from a file called .signature in the user's {home       directory} to outgoing mail and news.          A signature should give your real name and your {e-mail       address} since, though these appear in the {headers} of your       messages, they may be {munged} by intervening software.   It is       currently (1994) hip to include the {URL} of your {home page}       on the {World-Wide Web} in your sig.          The composition of one's sig can be quite an art form,       including an {ASCII} logo or one's choice of witty sayings       (see {sig quote}, {fool file}).   However, large sigs are a       waste of {bandwidth}, and it has been observed that the size       of one's sig block is usually inversely proportional to one's       prestige on the net.          See also {doubled sig}, {sig virus}.          2. A concept very similar to {abstract base       classes} except that they have their own {hierarchy} and can       be applied to compiled {classes}.   Signatures provide a means       of separating {subtyping} and {inheritance}.   They are       implemented in {C++} as patches to {GCC} 2.5.2 by Gerald       Baumgartner .          {(ftp://ftp.cs.purdue.edu/pub/gb/)}.          (2001-01-05)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Signet       a seal used to attest documents (Dan. 6:8-10, 12). In 6:17, this       word properly denotes a ring. The impression of a signet ring on       fine clay has recently been discovered among the ruins at       Nineveh. It bears the name and title of an Egyptian king. Two       actual signet rings of ancient Egyptian monarchs (Cheops and       Horus) have also been discovered.                When digging a shaft close to the south wall of the temple       area, the engineers of the Palestine Exploration Fund, at a       depth of 12 feet below the surface, came upon a pavement of       polished stones, formerly one of the streets of the city. Under       this pavement they found a stratum of 16 feet of concrete, and       among this concrete, 10 feet down, they found a signet stone       bearing the inscription, in Old Hebrew characters, "Haggai, son       of Shebaniah." It has been asked, Might not this be the actual       seal of Haggai the prophet? We know that he was in Jerusalem       after the Captivity; and it is somewhat singular that he alone       of all the minor prophets makes mention of a signet (Hag. 2:23).       (See {SEAL}.)
