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}.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Socinianism \So*cin"i*an*ism\, n. (Eccl. Hist.)       The tenets or doctrines of Faustus Socinus, an Italian       theologian of the sixteenth century, who denied the Trinity,       the deity of Christ, the personality of the Devil, the native       and total depravity of man, the vicarious atonement, and the       eternity of future punishment. His theory was, that Christ       was a man divinely commissioned, who had no existence before       he was conceived by the Virgin Mary; that human sin was the       imitation of Adam's sin, and that human salvation was the       imitation and adoption of Christ's virtue; that the Bible was       to be interpreted by human reason; and that its language was       metaphorical, and not to be taken literally.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
segment /seg'ment/ vi.   To experience a {segmentation fault}.    Confusingly, this is often pronounced more like the noun `segment'    than like mainstream v. segment; this is because it is actually a    noun shorthand that has been verbed.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
segmentation fault n.   [Unix] 1. [techspeak] An error in which    a running program attempts to access memory not allocated to it and    {core dump}s with a segmentation violation error.   This is often    caused by improper usage of pointers in the source code,    dereferencing a null pointer, or (in C) inadvertently using a    non-pointer variable as a pointer.   The classic example is:             int i;          scanf ("%d", i);   /* should have used &i */       2. To lose a train of thought or a line of reasoning.   Also uttered    as an exclamation at the point of befuddlement.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
segment          /seg'ment/ 1. A collection of {pages} in a       {memory management} system.          2. A separately relocatable section of an       executable program.   {Unix} executables have a {text segment}       (executable machine instructions), a {data segment}       (initialised data) and a {bss segment} (uninitialised data).          3. {network segment}.          4. To experience a {segmentation fault}.   Confusingly, the stress       is often put on the first syllable, like the noun "segment",       rather than the second like mainstream verb "segment".   This       is because it is actually a noun shorthand that has been       verbed.          [{Jargon File}]          (1994-12-15)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
segmentation          (Or "segmentation and reassembly", SAR) Breaking       an arbitrary size {packet} into smaller pieces at the       transmitter.   This may be necessary because of restrictions in       the communications channel or to reduce {latency}.   The pieces       are joined back together in the right order at the receiver       ("reassembly").   Segmentation may be performed by a {router}       when routing a packet to a network with a smaller maximum       packet size.          The term "segmentation" is used in {ATM}, in {TCP/IP}, it is       called "fragmentation" an is performed at the {IP} layer       before the "fragments" are passed to the {transport layer}.          See for example {ATM forum} {UNI} 4.0 specification.          [Better reasons?]          (1999-06-14)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
segmented address space          The {brain damaged} addressing scheme used on       the {Intel 8086} and later Intel {microprocessors} (and maybe       others(?))   where all memory references are formed by adding a       16-bit offset to a 16-bit base address held in one of four       segment base registers.   Each instruction has a default       segment (code (CS), data (DS), stack (SS), ? (ES)) which       determines which segment register is used.   Special prefix       instructions allow this default to be overridden.          The effect is to segment memory into blocks, of 64 {kilobytes}       in the case of the Intel processors.   Blocks may overlap       either partially or completely, depending on the contents of       the segment registers but normally they would be distinct to       give access to the maximum total range of addresses.   In this       case the scheme does provide some degree of {memory       protection} within a single process since, for example, a data       reference cannot affect an area of memory containing code.       However, compilers must either generate slower code or code       with artificial limits on the size of {data structures}.          Opposite: {flat address space}.   See also {addressing mode}.          (1996-12-21)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Shoshannim       lilies, the name of some musical instrument, probably like a       lily in shape (Ps. 45; 69, title). Some think that an instrument       of six strings is meant.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Shoshannim-Eduth       in title of Ps. 80 (R.V. marg., "lilies, a testimony"), probably       the name of the melody to which the psalm was to be sung.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sycamine tree       mentioned only in Luke 17:6. It is rendered by Luther "mulberry       tree" (q.v.), which is most probably the correct rendering. It       is found of two species, the black mulberry (Morus nigra) and       the white mulberry (Mourea), which are common in Palestine. The       silk-worm feeds on their leaves. The rearing of them is one of       the chief industries of the peasantry of Lebanon and of other       parts of the land. It is of the order of the fig-tree. Some       contend, however, that this name denotes the sycamore-fig of       Luke 19:4.
