From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   the network n.   1. Historicaslly, the union of all the major
   noncommercial, academic, and hacker-oriented networks, such as
   Internet, the pre-1990 ARPANET, NSFnet, {BITNET}, and the virtual
   UUCP and {Usenet} `networks', plus the corporate in-house networks
   and commercial time-sharing services (such as CompuServe, GEnie and
   AOL) that gateway to them.   A site is generally considered `on the
   network' if it can be reached through some combination of
   Internet-style (@-sign) and UUCP (bang-path) addresses.   See
   {Internet}, {bang path}, {{Internet address}}, {network address}.
   2. Following the mass-culture discovery of the Internet in 1994 and
   subsequent proliferation of cheap TCP/IP connections, "the network"
   is increasingly synonymous with the Internet itself (as it was before
      the second wave of wide-area computer networking began around 1980).
      3. A fictional conspiracy of libertarian hacker-subversives and
   anti-authoritarian monkeywrenchers described in Robert Anton
   Wilson's novel "Schro"dinger's Cat", to which many hackers have
   subsequently decided they belong (this is an example of {ha ha only
   serious}).
  
      In sense 1, `the network' is often abbreviated to `the net'.   "Are
   you on the net?" is a frequent question when hackers first meet
   face to face, and "See you on the net!" is a frequent goodbye.
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   thundering herd problem   Scheduler thrashing.   This can happen
   under Unix when you have a number of processes that are waiting on a
   single event. When that event (a connection to the web server, say)
   happens, every process which could possibly handle the event is
   awakened.   In the end, only one of those processes will actually be
   able to do the work, but, in the meantime, all the others wake up
   and contend for CPU time before being put back to sleep. Thus the
   system thrashes briefly while a herd of processes thunders through.
   If this starts to happen many times per second, the performance
   impact can be significant.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Thunder
      often referred to in Scripture (Job 40:9; Ps. 77:18; 104:7).
      James and John were called by our Lord "sons of thunder" (Mark
      3:17). In Job 39:19, instead of "thunder," as in the Authorized
      Version, the Revised Version translates (ra'amah) by "quivering
      main" (marg., "shaking"). Thunder accompanied the giving of the
      law at Sinai (Ex. 19:16). It was regarded as the voice of God
      (Job 37:2; Ps. 18:13; 81:7; comp. John 12:29). In answer to
      Samuel's prayer (1 Sam. 12:17, 18), God sent thunder, and "all
      the people greatly feared," for at such a season (the
      wheat-harvest) thunder and rain were almost unknown in
      Palestine.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Timnath-heres

      10 miles south-west of Shechem. The same as the following.
