   smart terminal n.   1. A terminal that has enough computing
   capability to render graphics or to offload some kind of front-end
   processing from the computer it talks to.   The development of
   workstations and personal computers has made this term and the
   product it describes semi-obsolescent, but one may still hear
   variants of the phrase `act like a smart terminal' used to describe
   the behavior of workstations or PCs with respect to programs that
   execute almost entirely out of a remote {server}'s storage, using
   local devices as displays.   2. obs. Any terminal with an addressable
   cursor; the opposite of a {glass tty}.   Today, a terminal with
   merely an addressable cursor, but with none of the more-powerful
   features mentioned in sense 1, is called a {dumb terminal}.
  
      There is a classic quote from Rob Pike (inventor of the {blit}
   terminal): "A smart terminal is not a smart_ass_ terminal, but
   rather a terminal you can educate."   This illustrates a common
   design problem: The attempt to make peripherals (or anything else)
   intelligent sometimes results in finicky, rigid `special features'
   that become just so much dead weight if you try to use the device in
   any way the designer didn't anticipate.   Flexibility and
   programmability, on the other hand, are _really_ smart.   Compare
   {hook}.

      1. Said of a program that does the {Right Thing}
      in a wide variety of complicated circumstances.   There is a

   Smart Battery Data
  
      (SBD) A method to monitor a rechargeable
      battery pack, initiated by {Duracell} and {Intel}.   An special
      {IC} in the battery pack monitors the battery and reports
      information to the {SMBus}.   This information might include:
      type, model number, manufacturer, characteristics, discharge
      rate, predicted remaining capacity, almost-discharged alarm so
      that the PC can shut down gracefully; temperature and voltage
      to provide safe fast-charging.

   smart card
  
      Any plastic card (like a credit card) with an embedded
      {integrated circuit} for storing information.
  
      Smart cards are being incorporated into soldier's dog-tags and
      used to store hospital patients' medical records.   This way
      they are always instantly accessible.
  
      Other uses are as a form of token in banking systems.   You
      could store electronic money on the card or less valuable
      tokens such as those given away by petrol companies which you
      collect to exchange for free gifts at a later date.   The idea
      being that one smart card is easier to carry around than a
      multitude of paper tokens.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Smartdrive
  
      A {Microsoft} {MS DOS} {disk cache} program
      to speed up disk access.
  
      For most users, a 1MB cache is sufficient.   Devoting more
      memory to the cache offers diminishing returns, since the
      additional cache hits become fewer (and the extra memory could
      be better used to reduce {swapping}).
  
      Typing SMARTDRV /S at a DOS prompt shows the cache size, a
      hit-and-miss report, and information about which drives are
      being cached.   The hit-and-miss statistics are crucial for
      gauging the effectiveness of SmartDrive settings.   A score in
      the high 80s shows that SmartDrive is well configured.   Run
      SMARTDRV /S several times during a Windows session and note
      the-hit-and-miss figures each time.   If your percentage
      usually falls below 80 percent, you should consider increasing
      the cache size.   You can edit the SMARTDRV line in your
      {AUTOEXEC.BAT} file to increase both the InitCacheSize and the
      WinCacheSize parameters.
  
      SmartDrive Monitor is an undocumented Windows program that
      comes with DOS 6.0 for logging and controling the cache.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Samaritan Pentateuch
      On the return from the Exile, the Jews refused the Samaritans
      participation with them in the worship at Jerusalem, and the
      latter separated from all fellowship with them, and built a
      temple for themselves on Mount Gerizim. This temple was razed to
      the ground more than one hundred years B.C. Then a system of
      worship was instituted similar to that of the temple at
      Jerusalem. It was founded on the Law, copies of which had been
      multiplied in Israel as well as in Judah. Thus the Pentateuch
      was preserved among the Samaritans, although they never called
      it by this name, but always "the Law," which they read as one
      book. The division into five books, as we now have it, however,
      was adopted by the Samaritans, as it was by the Jews, in all
      their priests' copies of "the Law," for the sake of convenience.
      This was the only portion of the Old Testament which was
      accepted by the Samaritans as of divine authority.
     
         The form of the letters in the manuscript copies of the
      Samaritan Pentateuch is different from that of the Hebrew
      copies, and is probably the same as that which was in general
      use before the Captivity. There are other peculiarities in the
      writing which need not here be specified.
     
         There are important differences between the Hebrew and the
      Samaritan copies of the Pentateuch in the readings of many
      sentences. In about two thousand instances in which the
      Samaritan and the Jewish texts differ, the LXX. agrees with the
      former. The New Testament also, when quoting from the Old
      Testament, agrees as a rule with the Samaritan text, where that
      differs from the Jewish. Thus Ex. 12:40 in the Samaritan reads,
      "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel and of their
      fathers which they had dwelt in the land of Canaan and in Egypt
      was four hundred and thirty years" (comp. Gal. 3:17). It may be
      noted that the LXX. has the same reading of this text.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Samaritans
      the name given to the new and mixed inhabitants whom Esarhaddon
      (B.C. 677), the king of Assyria, brought from Babylon and other
      places and settled in the cities of Samaria, instead of the
      original inhabitants whom Sargon (B.C. 721) had removed into
      captivity (2 Kings 17:24; comp. Ezra 4:2, 9, 10). These
      strangers (comp. Luke 17:18) amalgamated with the Jews still
      remaining in the land, and gradually abandoned their old
      idolatry and adopted partly the Jewish religion.
     
         After the return from the Captivity, the Jews in Jerusalem
      refused to allow them to take part with them in rebuilding the
      temple, and hence sprang up an open enmity between them. They
      erected a rival temple on Mount Gerizim, which was, however,
      destroyed by a Jewish king (B.C. 130). They then built another
      at Shechem. The bitter enmity between the Jews and Samaritans
      continued in the time of our Lord: the Jews had "no dealings
      with the Samaritans" (John 4:9; comp. Luke 9:52, 53). Our Lord
      was in contempt called "a Samaritan" (John 8:48). Many of the
      Samaritans early embraced the gospel (John 4:5-42; Acts 8:25;
      9:31; 15:3). Of these Samaritans there still remains a small
      population of about one hundred and sixty, who all reside in
      Shechem, where they carefully observe the religious customs of
      their fathers. They are the "smallest and oldest sect in the
      world."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Shimrath
      guardian, a Benjamite, one of Shimhi's sons (id.).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Shinar, The Land of
      LXX. and Vulgate "Senaar;" in the inscriptions, "Shumir;"
      probably identical with Babylonia or Southern Mesopotamia,
      extending almost to the Persian Gulf. Here the tower of Babel
      was built (Gen. 11:1-6), and the city of Babylon. The name
      occurs later in Jewish history (Isa. 11:11; Zech. 5:11). Shinar
      was apparently first peopled by Turanian tribes, who tilled the
      land and made bricks and built cities. Then tribes of Semites
      invaded the land and settled in it, and became its rulers. This
      was followed in course of time by an Elamite invasion; from
      which the land was finally delivered by Khammurabi, the son of
      Amarpel ("Amraphel, king of Shinar," Gen. 14:1), who became the
      founder of the new empire of Chaldea. (See {AMRAPHEL}.)
