spam vt.,vi.,n.   [from "Monty Python's Flying Circus"] 1. To    crash a program by overrunning a fixed-size buffer with excessively    large input data.   See also {buffer overflow}, {overrun screw},    {smash the stack}.   2. To cause a newsgroup to be flooded with    irrelevant or inappropriate messages. You can spam a newsgroup with    as little as one well- (or ill-) planned message (e.g. asking "What    do you think of abortion?" on soc.women).   This is often done with    {cross-post}ing (e.g. any message which is crossposted to    alt.rush-limbaugh and alt.politics.homosexuality will almost    inevitably spam both groups). This overlaps with {troll} behavior;    the latter more specific term has become more common. 3. To send many       identical or nearly-identical messages separately to a large number    of Usenet newsgroups. This is more specifically called `ECP',    Excessive Cross-Posting.   This is one sure way to infuriate nearly    everyone on the Net. See also {velveeta} and {jello}. 4. To bombard    a newsgroup with multiple copies of a message.   This is more    specifically called `EMP', Excessive Multi-Posting.   5.   To    mass-mail unrequested identical or nearly-identical email messages,    particularly those containing advertising.   Especially used when the    mail addresses have been culled from network traffic or databases    without the consent of the recipients. Synonyms include {UCE},    {UBE}. 6. Any large, annoying, quantity of output.   For instance,    someone on IRC who walks away from their screen and comes back to    find 200 lines of text might say "Oh no, spam".          The later definitions have become much more prevalent as the    Internet has opened up to non-techies, and to most people senses 3 4    and 5 are now primary.   All three behaviors are considered abuse of    the net, and are almost universally grounds for termination of the    originator's email account or network connection.   In these senses    the term `spam' has gone mainstream, though without its original    sense or folkloric freight - there is apparently a widespread myth    among {luser}s that "spamming" is what happens when you dump cans of    Spam into a revolving fan.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
spam          1. (From Hormel's Spiced Ham, via the Monty Python       "Spam" song) To post irrelevant or inappropriate messages to       one or more {Usenet} {newsgroups}, {mailing lists}, or other       messaging system in deliberate or accidental violation of       {netiquette}.          It is possible to spam a newsgroup with one well- (or ill-)       planned message, e.g. asking "What do you think of abortion?"       on soc.women.   This can be done by {cross-post}ing, e.g. any       message which is crossposted to alt.rush-limbaugh and       alt.politics.homosexuality will almost inevitably spam both       groups.   (Compare {troll} and {flame bait}).          Posting a message to a significant proportion of all       newsgroups is a sure way to spam Usenet and become an object       of almost universal hatred.   Canter and Siegel spammed the net       with their Green card post.          If you see an article which you think is a deliberate spam, DO       NOT post a {follow-up} - doing so will only contribute to the       general annoyance.   Send a polite message to the poster by       private e-mail and CC it to "postmaster" at the same address.       Bear in mind that the posting's origin might have been forged       or the apparent sender's account might have been used by       someone else without his permission.          The word was coined as the winning entry in a 1937 competition       to choose a name for Hormel Foods Corporation's "spiced meat"       (now officially known as "SPAM luncheon meat").   Correspondant       Bob White claims the modern use of the term predates Monty       Python by at least ten years.   He cites an editor for the       Dallas Times Herald describing Public Relations as "throwing a       can of spam into an electric fan just to see if any of it       would stick to the unwary passersby."          {Usenet} newsgroup: {news:news.admin.net-abuse}.          See also {netiquette}.          2. (A narrowing of sense 1, above) To indiscriminately send       large amounts of unsolicited {e-mail} meant to promote a       product or service.   Spam in this sense is sort of like the       electronic equivalent of junk mail sent to "Occupant".          In the 1990s, with the rise in commercial awareness of the       net, there are actually scumbags who offer spamming as a       "service" to companies wishing to advertise on the net.   They       do this by mailing to collections of {e-mail} addresses,       Usenet news, or mailing lists.   Such practises have caused       outrage and aggressive reaction by many net users against the       individuals concerned.          3. (Apparently a generalisation of sense 2, above) To abuse       any network service or tool by for promotional purposes.          "AltaVista is an {index}, not a promotional tool.   Attempts to       fill it with promotional material lower the value of the index       for everyone.   [...] We will disallow {URL} submissions from       those who spam the index.   In extreme cases, we will exclude       all their pages from the index." -- {Altavista}.          4. To crash a program by overrunning a       fixed-size {buffer} with excessively large input data.          See also {buffer overflow}, {overrun screw}, {smash the stack}.          5. (A narrowing of sense 1, above) To flood any       {chat} forum or {Internet game} with purposefully annoying       text or macros.   Compare {Scrolling}.          (2003-09-21)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Seven       This number occurs frequently in Scripture, and in such       connections as lead to the supposition that it has some typical       meaning. On the seventh day God rested, and hallowed it (Gen.       2:2, 3). The division of time into weeks of seven days each       accounts for many instances of the occurrence of this number.       This number has been called the symbol of perfection, and also       the symbol of rest. "Jacob's seven years' service to Laban;       Pharaoh's seven fat oxen and seven lean ones; the seven branches       of the golden candlestick; the seven trumpets and the seven       priests who sounded them; the seven days' siege of Jericho; the       seven churches, seven spirits, seven stars, seven seals, seven       vials, and many others, sufficiently prove the importance of       this sacred number" (see Lev. 25:4; 1 Sam. 2:5; Ps. 12:6; 79:12;       Prov. 26:16; Isa. 4:1; Matt. 18:21, 22; Luke 17:4). The feast of       Passover (Ex. 12:15, 16), the feast of Weeks (Deut. 16:9), of       Tabernacles (13:15), and the Jubilee (Lev. 25:8), were all       ordered by seven. Seven is the number of sacrifice (2 Chr.       29:21; Job 42:8), of purification and consecration (Lev. 42:6,       17; 8:11, 33; 14:9, 51), of forgiveness (Matt. 18:21, 22; Luke       17:4), of reward (Deut. 28:7; 1 Sam. 2:5), and of punishment       (Lev. 26:21, 24, 28; Deut. 28:25). It is used for any round       number in such passages as Job 5:19; Prov. 26:16, 25; Isa. 4:1;       Matt. 12:45. It is used also to mean "abundantly" (Gen. 4:15,       24; Lev. 26:24; Ps. 79:12).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Shaphan       a coney, a scribe or secretary of king Josiah (2 Kings 22:3-7).       He consulted Huldah concerning the newly-discovered copy of the       law which was delivered to him by Hilkiah the priest (8-14). His       grandson Gedaliah was governor of Judea (25:22).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Shebaniah       whom Jehovah hides, or has made grow up. (1.) A Levite appointed       to blow the trumpet before the ark of God (1 Chr. 15:24).                (2.) Another Levite (Neh. 9:4, 5).                (3.) A priest (Neh. 10:12).                (4.) A Levite (Neh. 10:4).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Shebna       tender youth, "treasurer" over the house in the reign of       Hezekiah, i.e., comptroller or governor of the palace. On       account of his pride he was ejected from his office, and Eliakim       was promoted to it (Isa. 22:15-25). He appears to have been the       leader of the party who favoured an alliance with Egypt against       Assyria. It is conjectured that "Shebna the scribe," who was one       of those whom the king sent to confer with the Assyrian       ambassador (2 Kings 18:18, 26, 37; 19:2; Isa. 36:3, 11, 22;       37:2), was a different person.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Shepham       a treeless place, Num. 34:10, 11: "The coast shall go down from       Shepham to Riblah."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Shibmah       fragrance, a town of Reuben, east of Jordan (Num. 32:38).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Shophan       hidden, or hollow, a town east of Jordan (Num. 32:35), built by       the children of Gad. This word should probably be joined with       the word preceding it in this passage, Atroth-Shophan, as in the       Revised Version.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sibmah       coolness; fragrance, a town in Reuben, in the territory of Moab,       on the east of Jordan (Josh. 13:19); called also Shebam and       Shibmah (Num. 32:3, 38). It was famous for its vines (Isa. 16:9;       Jer. 48:32). It has been identified with the ruin of Sumieh,       where there are rock-cut wine-presses. This fact explains the       words of the prophets referred to above. It was about 5 miles       east of Heshbon.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sivan       a Persian word (Assyr, sivanu, "bricks"), used after the       Captivity as the name of the third month of the Jewish year,       extending from the new moon in June to the new moon in July       (Esther 8:9).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Spain       Paul expresses his intention (Rom. 15:24, 28) to visit Spain.       There is, however, no evidence that he ever carried it into       effect, although some think that he probably did so between his       first and second imprisonment. (See {TARSHISH}.)

But whereas unemployment in these    countries has hovered just above 10%, Spain has been forced to cope    with a 25% unemployment rate. Continued political turmoil has    complicated the establishment of stable government policies toward    budgetary restraint, interest rates, labor law reform, and Spain's    role in the evolving economic integration of Western Europe. Because    the recession has been so deep, the growth in industrial output,    tourism, and other sectors in 1994, while welcome, falls far short of    the growth required to bring unemployment down to, say, 10%. The    recovery in the economies of major trade partners, the comparatively    low inflation rate, lower interest rates, and prospects in the tourist    sector suggest that Spain can make substantial progress in 1995.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $515.8 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 1.8% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $13,120 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 4.9% (1994)       Unemployment rate: 24.5% (yearend 1994)       Budget:    revenues: $97.7 billion    expenditures: $128 billion, including capital expenditures of $NA    (1993 est.)       Exports: $72.8 billion (f.o.b., 1993)    commodities: cars and trucks, semifinished manufactured goods,    foodstuffs, machinery    partners: EC 71.2%, US 4.8%, other developed countries 7.9% (1992)       Imports: $92.5 billion (c.i.f., 1993)    commodities: machinery, transport equipment, fuels, semifinished    goods, foodstuffs, consumer goods, chemicals    partners: EC 60.7%, US 7.4%, other developed countries 11.5%, Middle    East 5.9% (1992)       External debt: $90 billion (1993 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate 4% (1994 est.)       Electricity:    capacity: 43,800,000 kW    production: 148 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 3,545 kWh (1993)       Industries: textiles and apparel (including footwear), food and    beverages, metals and metal manufactures, chemicals, shipbuilding,    automobiles, machine tools, tourism       Agriculture: accounts for about 5% of GDP and 14% of labor force;
