From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
scroll bar          A {widget} found in {graphical user interfaces} and       used to show and control ("scroll") which portion of a       document is currently visible in a window.   A window may have       a horizontal or, most often, vertical scroll bar or both.          A vertical scroll bar is a narrow strip drawn up the side of       the window containing a "bubble" whose position in the scroll       bar represents the position of the visible part within the       whole document.   By dragging the bubble with the mouse the       user can scroll the view over the entire document.   Arrow       buttons are usually provided at the end(s) of the scroll bar       to allow the window to be scrolled by a small amount, e.g. one       line of text, in either direction by clicking them with the       mouse.   Some programs provide a second pair of buttons for       scrolling a page at a time or some other unit.   Clicking on       the scroll bar outside the bubble will either, depending on       the particular {WIMP}, move the bubble to that point or move       it some amount (typically a screenful) in that direction.          Different {WIMP} systems define different standards for       whether scroll bars appear on the left or right, top or bottom       of the window, and for their behaviour.          To reduce mouse movement, the up and down scroll buttons       should either be next to each other at one end of the scroll       bar (as in {NEXTSTEP}) or should reverse their effect when       clicked with the right-hand mouse button (as in the {X Window       System} and {RISC OS}).   The fraction of the scroll bar filled       by the bubble should indicate the fraction of the document       visible in the window.          (1998-06-26)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
scrollable list          A list of information in a {graphical user       interface} with a {scroll bar}, often used to present a list       of choices.          (1999-10-03)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Serial Peripheral Interface          (SPI) A {serial interface} in which       a master device supplies {clock} pulses to exchanges data       serially with a slave over two data wires (Master-Slave and       Slave-Master).   This term probably originated with Motorola in       about 1979 with their first all-in-one {microcontroller}.          (2003-07-13)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
serial port          (Or "com port") A connector on a       computer to which you can attach a {serial line} connected to       peripherals which communicate using a serial (bit-stream)       {protocol}.   The most common type of serial port is a 25-pin       D-type connector carrying {EIA-232} signals.   Smaller       connectors (e.g. 9-pin {D-type}) carrying a subset of EIA-232       are often used on {personal computer}s.   The serial port is       usually connected to an {integrated circuit} called a {UART}       which handles the conversion between serial and parallel data.          In the days before bit-mapped displays, and today on       {multi-user} systems, the serial port was used to connect one       or more terminals ({teletypewriters} or {VDU}s), printers,       {modems} and other serial peripherals.   Two computers       connected together via their serial ports, possibly via       {modems}, can communicate using a {protocol} such as {UUCP} or       {CU} or {SLIP}.          (1995-01-12)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Shihor-Libnath       black-white, a stream on the borders of Asher, probably the       modern Nahr Zerka, i.e., the "crocodile brook," or "blue river",       which rises in the Carmel range and enters the Mediterranean a       little to the north of Caesarea (Josh. 19:26). Crocodiles are       still found in the Zerka. Thomson suspects "that long ages ago       some Egyptians, accustomed to worship this ugly creature,       settled here (viz., at Caesarea), and brought their gods with       them. Once here they would not easily be exterminated" (The Land       and the Book).

Shihor-libnah, blackness of Libnah
