From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   store n.   [prob. from techspeak `main store'] In some varieties
   of Commonwealth hackish, the preferred synonym for {core}.   Thus,
   `bringing a program into store' means not that one is returning
   shrink-wrapped software but that a program is being {swap}ped in.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Sather
  
      /Say-ther/ (Named after the Sather Tower at {UCB},
      as opposed to the Eiffel Tower).
  
      An interactive {object-oriented} language designed by Steve
      M. Omohundro at {ICSI} in 1991.   Sather has simple {syntax},
      similar to {Eiffel}, but it is non-proprietary and faster.
  
      Sather 0.2 was nearly a subset of Eiffel 2.0, but Sather 1.0
      adds many distinctive features: parameterised {class}es,
      {multiple inheritance}, statically-checked {strong typing},
      {garbage collection}.   The compiler generates {C} as an
      {intermediate language}.   There are versions for most
      {workstation}s.
  
      Sather attempts to retain much of {Eiffel}'s theoretical
      cleanliness and simplicity while achieving the efficiency of
      {C++}.   The compiler generates efficient and portable C code
      which is easily integrated with existing code.
  
      A variety of development tools including a debugger and
      {browser} based on {gdb} and a {GNU Emacs} development
      environment have also been written.   There is also a {class
      library} with several hundred classes that implement a variety
      of basic data structures and numerical, geometric,
      connectionist, statistical, and graphical abstractions.   The
      authors would like to encourage contributions to the library
      and hope to build a large collection of efficient,
      well-written, well-tested classes in a variety of areas of
      computer science.
  
      Sather runs on {Sun-4}, {HP9000}/300, {Decstation} 5000,

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   set theory
  
      A mathematical formalisation of the theory of
      "sets" (aggregates or collections) of objects ("elements" or
      "members").   Many mathematicians use set theory as the basis
      for all other mathematics.
  
      Mathematicians began to realise toward the end of the 19th
      century that just doing "the obvious thing" with sets led to
      embarrassing {paradox}es, the most famous being {Russell's
      Paradox}.   As a result, they acknowledged the need for a
      suitable {axiomatisation} for talking about sets.   Numerous
      such axiomatisations exist; the most popular among ordinary
      mathematicians is {Zermelo Fränkel set theory}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Satyr
      hairy one. Mentioned in Greek mythology as a creature composed
      of a man and a goat, supposed to inhabit wild and desolate
      regions. The Hebrew word is rendered also "goat" (Lev. 4:24) and
      "devil", i.e., an idol in the form of a goat (17:7; 2 Chr.
      11:15). When it is said (Isa. 13:21; comp. 34:14) "the satyrs
      shall dance there," the meaning is that the place referred to
      shall become a desolate waste. Some render the Hebrew word
      "baboon," a species of which is found in Babylonia.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
