From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
enhancement n. Common {marketroid}-speak for a bug {fix}. This abuse of language is a popular and time-tested way to turn incompetence into increased revenue. A hacker being ironic would instead call the fix a {feature} -- or perhaps save some effort by declaring the bug itself to be a feature.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Enhanced Capabilities Port (ECP) The most common {parallel printer interface} on current (1997) {IBM PC} compatibles. Enhanced Capabilities Port is defined in standard IEEE 1284. It is bi-directional and faster than earlier parallel ports. Not to be confused with {Extended Capabilities Port}. (1997-12-01)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Enhanced Small Disk Interface (ESDI) An obsolete {hard disk} {controller} {standard}, first introduced by {Maxtor} in 1983, and intended to be the successor to the original {ST-506}/{ST-412}. ESDI was faster and more reliable, but still could not compete with {IDE} and {SCSI}. EDSI used two cables: a 20-pin data cable to each drive and a single 34-pin control cable {daisy chain} with the controller at one end and a terminator at the other. In PCs, it supported up to two drives at 1-2MB/s with drives up to 2GB. {PC Guide (http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/if/obsoESDI-c.html)}. (2003-08-01)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
enhancement 1. A change to a product which is intended to make it better in some way, e.g. new functions, faster, or occasionally more compatible with other systems. Enhancements to {hardware} components, especially {integrated circuits} often mean they are smaller and less demanding of resources. Sadly, this is almost never true of {software} enhancements. 2. {Marketroid}-speak for a {bug fix}. This abuse of language is a popular and time-tested way to turn incompetence into increased revenue. A hacker being ironic would instead call the fix a {feature}, or perhaps save some effort by declaring "{That's not a bug, that's a feature!}". [{Jargon File}] (1998-04-04)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Emims terrors, a warlike tribe of giants who were defeated by Chedorlaomer and his allies in the plain of Kiriathaim. In the time of Abraham they occupied the country east of Jordan, afterwards the land of the Moabites (Gen. 14:5; Deut. 2:10). They were, like the Anakim, reckoned among the Rephaim, and were conquered by the Moabites, who gave them the name of Emims, i.e., "terrible men" (Deut. 2:11). The Ammonites called them Zamzummims (2:20).
From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
