See 8, above. {Of no effect}, {Of none effect}, {To no effect}, [or] {Without effect}, destitute of results, validity, force, and the like; vain; fruitless. [bd]Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition.[b8] --Mark vii. 13. [bd]All my study be to no effect.[b8] --Shak. {To give effect to}, to make valid; to carry out in practice; to push to its results. {To take effect}, to become operative, to accomplish aims. --Shak. Syn: {Effect}, {Consequence}, {Result}. Usage: These words indicate things which arise out of some antecedent, or follow as a consequent. Effect, which may be regarded as the generic term, denotes that which springs directly from something which can properly be termed a cause. A consequence is more remote, not being strictly caused, nor yet a mere sequence, but following out of and following indirectly, or in the train of events, something on which it truly depends. A result is still more remote and variable, like the rebound of an elastic body which falls in very different directions. We may foresee the effects of a measure, may conjecture its consequences, but can rarely discover its final results. Resolving all events, with their effects And manifold results, into the will And arbitration wise of the Supreme. --Cowper. Shun the bitter consequence, for know, The day thou eatest thereof, . . . thou shalt die. --Milton.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
tunafish n. In hackish lore, refers to the mutated punchline of an age-old joke to be found at the bottom of the manual pages of `tunefs(8)' in the original {BSD} 4.2 distribution. The joke was removed in later releases once commercial sites started using 4.2, but apparently restored on the 4.4BSD tape and in {Net,Free,Open}BSD. Tunefs relates to the `tuning' of file-system parameters for optimum performance, and at the bottom of a few pages of wizardly inscriptions was a `BUGS' section consisting of the line "You can tune a file system, but you can't tunafish". Variants of this can be seen in other BSD versions, though it has been excised from some versions by humorless management {droid}s. The [nt]roff source for SunOS 4.1.1 contains a comment apparently designed to prevent this: "Take this out and a Unix Demon will dog your steps from now until the `time_t''s wrap around." [It has since been pointed out that indeed you can tunafish. Usually at a canning factory... --ESR]

Tiny BASIC A dialect of {BASIC} developed by Dr. Wang [Wong?] in the late 1970s. Tiny BASIC was 2K bytes in size and was loaded from {paper tape}. It ran on almost any {Intel 8080} or {Zilog Z80} {microprocessor} for which the user could provide the necessary I/O driver software. Tiny BASIC was distributed as [the first ever?] {freeware}. The program listing contained the following phrases "All Wrongs reserved" and "{CopyLeft}", he obviously wasn't interested in money. See also {Tiny Basic Interpreter Language}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Tombs of the Hebrews were generally excavated in the solid rock, or were natural caves. Mention is made of such tombs in Judg. 8:32; 2 Sam. 2:32; 2 Kings 9:28; 23:30. They were sometimes made in gardens (2 Kings 21:26; 23:16; Matt. 27:60). They are found in great numbers in and around Jerusalem and all over the land. They were sometimes whitewashed (Matt. 23:27, 29). The body of Jesus was laid in Joseph's new rock-hewn tomb, in a garden near to Calvary. All evidence is in favour of the opinion that this tomb was somewhere near the Damascus gate, and outside the city, and cannot be identified with the so-called "holy sepulchre." The mouth of such rocky tombs was usually closed by a large stone (Heb. golal), which could only be removed by the united efforts of several men (Matt. 28:2; comp. John 11:39). (See {GOLGOTHA}.)
