worm n.   [from `tapeworm' in John Brunner's novel "The    Shockwave Rider", via XEROX PARC] A program that propagates itself    over a network, reproducing itself as it goes.   Compare {virus}.    Nowadays the term has negative connotations, as it is assumed that    only {cracker}s write worms.   Perhaps the best-known example was    Robert T. Morris's {Great Worm} of 1988, a `benign' one that got out    of control and hogged hundreds of Suns and VAXen across the U.S.    See also {cracker}, {RTM}, {Trojan horse}, {ice}.

WRAM          {Window Random Access Memory}
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Worm       (1.) Heb. sas (Isa. 51:8), denotes the caterpillar of the       clothes-moth.                (2.) The manna bred worms (tola'im), but on the Sabbath there       was not any worm (rimmah) therein (Ex. 16:20, 24). Here these       words refer to caterpillars or larvae, which feed on corrupting       matter.                These two Hebrew words appear to be interchangeable (Job 25:6;       Isa. 14:11). Tola'im in some places denotes the caterpillar       (Deut. 28:39; Jonah 4:7), and rimmah, the larvae, as bred from       putridity (Job 17:14; 21:26; 24:20). In Micah 7:17, where it is       said, "They shall move out of their holes like worms," perhaps       serpents or "creeping things," or as in the Revised Version,       "crawling things," are meant.                The word is used figuratively in Job 25:6; Ps. 22:6; Isa.       41:14; Mark 9:44, 46, 48; Isa. 66:24.
