Specifically:       (a) A remarkable event, considered by the ancients as             indicating the will of some deity; a prodigy; an omen.       (b) An event considered by the Jews as indicating the divine             will, or as manifesting an interposition of the divine             power for some special end; a miracle; a wonder.                         Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of                      the Spirit of God.                           --Rom. xv. 19.                         It shall come to pass, if they will not believe                      thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first                      sign, that they will believe the voice of the                      latter sign.                                    --Ex. iv. 8.       (c) Something serving to indicate the existence, or preserve             the memory, of a thing; a token; a memorial; a monument.                         What time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty                      men, and they became a sign.            --Num. xxvi.                                                                               10.       (d) Any symbol or emblem which prefigures, typifles, or             represents, an idea; a type; hence, sometimes, a picture.                         The holy symbols, or signs, are not barely                      significative; but what they represent is as                      certainly delivered to us as the symbols                      themselves.                                       --Brerewood.                         Saint George of Merry England, the sign of victory.                                                                               --Spenser.       (e) A word or a character regarded as the outward             manifestation of thought; as, words are the sign of             ideas.       (f) A motion, an action, or a gesture by which a thought is             expressed, or a command or a wish made known.                         They made signs to his father, how he would have                      him called.                                       --Luke i. 62.       (g) Hence, one of the gestures of pantomime, or of a language             of a signs such as those used by the North American             Indians, or those used by the deaf and dumb.          Note: Educaters of the deaf distinguish between natural                signs, which serve for communicating ideas, and                methodical, or systematic, signs, adapted for the                dictation, or the rendering, of written language, word                by word; and thus the signs are to be distinguished                from the manual alphabet, by which words are spelled on                the fingers.       (h) A military emblem carried on a banner or a standard.             --Milton.       (i) A lettered board, or other conspicuous notice, placed             upon or before a building, room, shop, or office to             advertise the business there transacted, or the name of             the person or firm carrying it on; a publicly displayed             token or notice.                         The shops were, therefore, distinguished by painted                      signs, which gave a gay and grotesque aspect to the                      streets.                                          --Macaulay.       (j) (Astron.) The twelfth part of the ecliptic or zodiac.          Note: The signs are reckoned from the point of intersection                of the ecliptic and equator at the vernal equinox, and                are named, respectively, {Aries} ([Aries]), {Taurus}                ([Taurus]), {Gemini} (II), {Cancer} ([Cancer]), {Leo}                ([Leo]), {Virgo} ([Virgo]), {Libra} ([Libra]),                {Scorpio} ([Scorpio]), {Sagittarius} ([Sagittarius]),                {Capricornus   ([Capricorn]), {Aquarius} ([Aquarius]),                {Pisces} ([Pisces]). These names were originally the                names of the constellations occupying severally the                divisions of the zodiac, by which they are still                retained; but, in consequence of the procession of the                equinoxes, the signs have, in process of time, become                separated about 30 degrees from these constellations,                and each of the latter now lies in the sign next in                advance, or to the east of the one which bears its                name, as the constellation Aries in the sign Taurus,                etc.       (k) (Alg.) A character indicating the relation of quantities,             or an operation performed upon them; as, the sign +             (plus); the sign -- (minus); the sign of division [f6],             and the like.       (l) (Med.) An objective evidence of disease; that is, one             appreciable by some one other than the patient.          Note: The terms symptom and and sign are often used                synonymously; but they may be discriminated. A sign                differs from a symptom in that the latter is perceived                only by the patient himself. The term sign is often                further restricted to the purely local evidences of                disease afforded by direct examination of the organs                involved, as distinguished from those evidence of                general disturbance afforded by observation of the                temperature, pulse, etc. In this sense it is often                called physical sign.       (m) (Mus.) Any character, as a flat, sharp, dot, etc.       (n) (Theol.) That which, being external, stands for, or             signifies, something internal or spiritual; -- a term             used in the Church of England in speaking of an ordinance             considered with reference to that which it represents.                         An outward and visible sign of an inward and                      spiritual grace.                              --Bk. of                                                                               Common Prayer.          Note: See the Table of {Arbitrary Signs}, p. 1924.          {Sign manual}.       (a) (Eng. Law) The royal signature superscribed at the top of             bills of grants and letter patent, which are then sealed             with the privy signet or great seal, as the case may be,             to complete their validity.       (b) The signature of one's name in one's own handwriting.             --Craig. Tomlins. Wharton.          Syn: Token; mark; note; symptom; indication; signal; symbol;                type; omen; prognostic; presage; manifestation. See                {Emblem}.

surf v.   [from the `surf' idiom for rapidly flipping TV    channels] To traverse the Internet in search of interesting stuff,    used esp. if one is doing so with a World Wide Web browser.   It is    also common to speak of `surfing in' to a particular resource.          Hackers adopted this term early, but many have stopped using it    since it went completely mainstream around 1995.   The passive,    couch-potato connotations that go with TV channel surfing were never    pleasant, and hearing non-hackers wax enthusiastic about "surfing    the net" tends to make hackers feel a bit as though their home is    being overrun by ignorami.
