                     world, - [bd]how it showed . . . Answering his great
                     idea,[b8] - to its present use, when this person

      Note: [bd]In England, Locke may be said to have been the
               first who naturalized the term in its Cartesian
               universality. When, in common language, employed by
               Milton and Dryden, after Descartes, as before him by
               Sidney, Spenser, Shakespeare, Hooker, etc., the meaning
               is Platonic.[b8] --Sir W. Hamilton.

               judgment; consideration; view; design; intention;
               purpose; plan; model; pattern. There is scarcely any
               other word which is subjected to such abusive treatment
               as is the word idea, in the very general and
               indiscriminative way in which it is employed, as it is
               used variously to signify almost any act, state, or
               content of thought.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   ITS /I-T-S/ n.   1. Incompatible Time-sharing System, an
   influential though highly idiosyncratic operating system written for
   PDP-6s and PDP-10s at MIT and long used at the MIT AI Lab.   Much
   AI-hacker jargon derives from ITS folklore, and to have been `an ITS
   hacker' qualifies one instantly as an old-timer of the most
   venerable sort.   ITS pioneered many important innovations, including
   transparent file sharing between machines and terminal-independent
   I/O.   After about 1982, most actual work was shifted to newer
   machines, with the remaining ITS boxes run essentially as a hobby
   and service to the hacker community.   The shutdown of the lab's last
   ITS machine in May 1990 marked the end of an era and sent old-time
   hackers into mourning nationwide (see {high moby}).   2. A mythical
   image of operating-system perfection worshiped by a bizarre, fervent
   retro-cult of old-time hackers and ex-users (see {troglodyte}, sense
   2).   ITS worshipers manage somehow to continue believing that an OS
