Lasso \Lass"o\ (l[acr]s"s[osl]) n.; pl. {Lassos} (-s[omac]z).       [Sp. lazo, L. laqueus.

Each of these cells             is filled with, fluid, and contains a long, slender, often             barbed, hollow thread coiled up within it. When the cell             contracts the thread is quickly ejected, being at the same             time turned inside out. The thread is able to penetrate             the flesh of various small, soft-bodied animals, and             carries a subtle poison by which they are speedily             paralyzed and killed. The threads, at the same time, hold             the prey in position, attached to the tentacles. Some of             the jellyfishes, as the Portuguese man-of-war, and             {Cyanea}, are able to penetrate the human skin, and             inflict painful stings in the same way. Called also             {nettling cell}, {cnida}, {cnidocell}.

This last is the inductive method of             Bacon. It ascends from the parts to the whole, and forms,             from the general analogy of nature, or special             presumptions in the case, conclusions which have greater             or less degrees of force, and which may be strengthened or             weakened by subsequent experience and experiment. It             relates to actual existences, as in physical science or             the concerns of life. Logical induction is founded on the             necessary laws of thought; philosophical induction, on the             interpretation of the indications or analogy of nature.

logical adj.   [from the technical term `logical device',    wherein a physical device is referred to by an arbitrary `logical'    name] Having the role of.   If a person (say, Les Earnest at SAIL)    who had long held a certain post left and were replaced, the    replacement would for a while be known as the `logical' Les Earnest.    (This does not imply any judgment on the replacement.)   Compare    {virtual}.          At Stanford, `logical' compass directions denote a coordinate    system in which `logical north' is toward San Francisco, `logical    west' is toward the ocean, etc., even though logical north varies    between physical (true) north near San Francisco and physical west    near San Jose.   (The best rule of thumb here is that, by definition,    El Camino Real always runs logical north-and-south.)   In giving    directions, one might say: "To get to Rincon Tarasco restaurant, get    onto {El Camino Bignum} going logical north."   Using the word    `logical' helps to prevent the recipient from worrying about that    the fact that the sun is setting almost directly in front of him.    The concept is reinforced by North American highways which are    almost, but not quite, consistently labeled with logical rather than    physical directions.   A similar situation exists at MIT: Route 128    (famous for the electronics industry that has grown up along it) is    a 3-quarters circle surrounding Boston at a radius of 10 miles,    terminating near the coastline at each end.   It would be most    precise to describe the two directions along this highway as    `clockwise' and `counterclockwise', but the road signs all say    "north" and "south", respectively.   A hacker might describe these    directions as `logical north' and `logical south', to indicate that    they are conventional directions not corresponding to the usual    denotation for those words.   (If you went logical south along the    entire length of route 128, you would start out going northwest,    curve around to the south, and finish headed due east, passing along    one infamous stretch of pavement that is simultaneously route 128    south and Interstate 93 north, and is signed as such!)

logical          (From the technical term "logical device", wherein a physical       device is referred to by an arbitrary "logical" name) Having       the role of.   If a person (say, Les Earnest at SAIL) who had       long held a certain post left and were replaced, the       replacement would for a while be known as the "logical" Les       Earnest.   (This does not imply any judgment on the       replacement).          Compare {virtual}.          At Stanford, "logical" compass directions denote a coordinate       system in which "logical north" is toward San Francisco,       "logical west" is toward the ocean, etc., even though logical       north varies between physical (true) north near San Francisco       and physical west near San Jose.   (The best rule of thumb here       is that, by definition, El Camino Real always runs logical       north-and-south.)   In giving directions, one might say: "To       get to Rincon Tarasco restaurant, get onto {El Camino Bignum}       going logical north."   Using the word "logical" helps to       prevent the recipient from worrying about that the fact that       the sun is setting almost directly in front of him.   The       concept is reinforced by North American highways which are       almost, but not quite, consistently labelled with logical       rather than physical directions.          A similar situation exists at MIT: Route 128 (famous for the       electronics industry that has grown up along it) is a       3-quarters circle surrounding Boston at a radius of 10 miles,       terminating near the coastline at each end.   It would be most       precise to describe the two directions along this highway as       "clockwise" and "counterclockwise", but the road signs all say       "north" and "south", respectively.   A hacker might describe       these directions as "logical north" and "logical south", to       indicate that they are conventional directions not       corresponding to the usual denotation for those words.   (If       you went logical south along the entire length of route 128,       you would start out going northwest, curve around to the       south, and finish headed due east, passing along one infamous       stretch of pavement that is simultaneously route 128 south and       Interstate 93 north, and is signed as such!)          [{Jargon File}]          (1995-01-24)

logical address          {virtual address}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Logical Block Addressing          (LBA) A {hard disk} {sector} addressing scheme used       on all {SCSI} hard disks, and on {ATA-2} conforming {IDE} hard       disks.   The addressing conversion is performed by the hard       disk firmware.          Prior to LBA, combined limitations of {IBM PC} {BIOS} and       {ATA} restricted the useful capacity of IDE hard disks on IBM       PCs and compatibles to 1024 cylinders * 63 sectors per track *       16 heads * 512 bytes per sector = 528 million bytes = 504       megabytes.   Modern BIOSes select LBA mode automatically, and       work around the 1024-cylinder BIOS limit by representing a       hard disk to the OS as having e.g. half as many cylinders and       twice as many heads.   However, there is still an unbreakable       BIOS disk size limit of 1024 cylinders * 63 sectors per track       * 256 heads * 512 bytes per sector = 8 gigabytes, but modern       OSes (including {Windows 9x}, {Windows NT} and {Linux}) are       not affected by it, since they issue direct LBA-based calls,       bypassing the BIOS hard disk services completely.          (2000-04-30)

logical complement          In {Boolean algebra}, the logical complement or       negation of a Boolean value is the opposite value, given by       the following {truth table}:          A | -A       --+---       T | F       F | T          -A is also written as A with a bar over it or with a small       vertical line hanging from the right-hand end of the "-"       ({LaTeX} \neg) or as A'.   In the {C} programming language, it       is !A and in digital circuit design, /A.          (1995-01-24)

logical shift          (Either shift left logical or shift right       logical) Machine-level operations available on nearly all       processors which move each bit in a word one or more bit       positions in the given direction.   A left shift moves the bits       to more significant positions (like multiplying by two), a       right shift moves them to less significant positions (like       dividing by two).   The comparison with multiplication and       division breaks down in certain circumstances - a logical       shift may discard bits that are shifted off either end of the       word and does not preserve the sign of the word (positive or       negative).          Logical shift is approriate when treating the word as a {bit       string} or a sequence of {bit fields}, whereas {arithmetic       shift} is appropriate when treating it as a binary number.       The word to be shifted is usually stored in a {register}, or       possibly in memory.          (1996-07-02)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lysias, Claudius       the chief captain (chiliarch) who commanded the Roman troops in       Jerusalem, and sent Paul under guard to the procurator Felix at       Caesarea (Acts 21:31-38; 22:24-30). His letter to his superior       officer is an interesting specimen of Roman military       correspondence (23:26-30). He obtained his Roman citizenship by       purchase, and was therefore probably a Greek. (See {CLAUDIUS}.)
