From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
set associative cache          A compromise between a {direct mapped cache}       and a {fully associative cache} where each address is mapped       to a certain set of cache locations.   The address space is       divided into blocks of 2^m bytes (the {cache line} size),       discarding the bottom m address bits.   An "n-way set       associative" cache with S sets has n cache locations in each       set.   Block b is mapped to set "b mod S" and may be stored in       any of the n locations in that set with its upper address bits       as a tag.   To determine whether block b is in the cache, set       "b mod S" is searched associatively for the tag.          A direct mapped cache could be described as "one-way set       associative", i.e. one location in each set whereas a fully       associative cache is N-way associative (where N is the total       number of blocks in the cache).   Performance studies have       shown that it is generally more effective to increase the       number of entries rathethe r than associativity and that 2- to       16-way set associative caches perform almost as well as fully       associative caches at little extra cost over direct mapping.          (2002-02-09)

sticky content          {World-Wide Web} pages that refer only or       mostly to pages on the same {web site}.   This is important to       some commercial sites who want users to keep accessing pages       from their site because they receive advertising income from       each hit.   It does however somewhat miss the point of the       World-Wide Web which is to link useful information across the       whole {Internet}.          (1999-06-15)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
switch statement          (Or case statement, multi-way branch) A       construct found in most {high-level languages} for selecting       one of several possible blocks of code or branch destinations       depending on the value of an expression.   An example in {C} is          switch (foo(x, y))       {       case 1:   printf("Hello\n"); /* fall through */       case 2:   printf("Goodbye\n"); break;       case 3:   printf("Fish\n"); break;       default: fprintf(stderr, "Odd foo value\n"); exit(1);       }          The break statements cause execution to continue after the       whole switch statemetnt.   The lack of a break statement after       the first case means that execution will {fall through} into       the second case.   Since this is a common programming error you       should add a comment if it is intentional.          If none of the explicit cases matches the expression value       then the (optional) default case is taken.          A similar construct in some {functional languages} returns the       value of one of several expressions selected according to the       value of the first expression.   A distant relation to the       modern switch statement is {Fortran}'s {computed goto}.          (1997-01-30)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sadducees       The origin of this Jewish sect cannot definitely be traced. It       was probably the outcome of the influence of Grecian customs and       philosophy during the period of Greek domination. The first time       they are met with is in connection with John the Baptist's       ministry. They came out to him when on the banks of the Jordan,       and he said to them, "O generation of vipers, who hath warned       you to flee from the wrath to come?" (Matt. 3:7.) The next time       they are spoken of they are represented as coming to our Lord       tempting him. He calls them "hypocrites" and "a wicked and       adulterous generation" (Matt. 16:1-4; 22:23). The only reference       to them in the Gospels of Mark (12:18-27) and Luke (20:27-38) is       their attempting to ridicule the doctrine of the resurrection,       which they denied, as they also denied the existence of angels.       They are never mentioned in John's Gospel.                There were many Sadducees among the "elders" of the Sanhedrin.       They seem, indeed, to have been as numerous as the Pharisees       (Acts 23:6). They showed their hatred of Jesus in taking part in       his condemnation (Matt. 16:21; 26:1-3, 59; Mark 8:31; 15:1; Luke       9:22; 22:66). They endeavoured to prohibit the apostles from       preaching the resurrection of Christ (Acts 2:24, 31, 32; 4:1, 2;       5:17, 24-28). They were the deists or sceptics of that age. They       do not appear as a separate sect after the destruction of       Jerusalem.
