That side of a question which denies or refuses, or which             is taken by an opposing or denying party; the relation or             position of denial or opposition; as, the question was             decided in the negative.          5. (Photog.) A picture upon glass or other material, in which             the light portions of the original are represented in some             opaque material (usually reduced silver), and the dark             portions by the uncovered and transparent or             semitransparent ground of the picture.          Note: A negative is chiefly used for producing photographs by                means of the sun's light passing through it and acting                upon sensitized paper, thus producing on the paper a                positive picture.

Negative \Neg"a*tive\, n. [Cf. F. n[82]gative.]       1. A proposition by which something is denied or forbidden; a             conception or term formed by prefixing the negative             particle to one which is positive; an opposite or             contradictory term or conception.                         This is a known rule in divinity, that there is no                      command that runs in negatives but couches under it                      a positive duty.                                 --South.          2. A word used in denial or refusal; as, not, no.          Note: In Old England two or more negatives were often joined                together for the sake of emphasis, whereas now such                expressions are considered ungrammatical, being chiefly                heard in iliterate speech. A double negative is now                sometimes used as nearly or quite equivalent to an                affirmative.                            No wine ne drank she, neither white nor red.                                                                               --Chaucer.                            These eyes that never did nor never shall So much                         as frown on you.                           --Shak.          3. The refusal or withholding of assents; veto.                         If a kind without his kingdom be, in a civil sense,                      nothing, then . . . his negative is as good as                      nothing.                                             --Milton.          4. That side of a question which denies or refuses, or which             is taken by an opposing or denying party; the relation or             position of denial or opposition; as, the question was             decided in the negative.          5. (Photog.) A picture upon glass or other material, in which             the light portions of the original are represented in some             opaque material (usually reduced silver), and the dark             portions by the uncovered and transparent or             semitransparent ground of the picture.          Note: A negative is chiefly used for producing photographs by                means of the sun's light passing through it and acting                upon sensitized paper, thus producing on the paper a                positive picture.

Electricity \E`lec*tric"i*ty\, n.; pl. {Electricities}. [Cf. F.       [82]lectricit[82]. See {Electric}.]       1. A power in nature, a manifestation of energy, exhibiting             itself when in disturbed equilibrium or in activity by a             circuit movement, the fact of direction in which involves             polarity, or opposition of properties in opposite             directions; also, by attraction for many substances, by a             law involving attraction between surfaces of unlike             polarity, and repulsion between those of like; by             exhibiting accumulated polar tension when the circuit is             broken; and by producing heat, light, concussion, and             often chemical changes when the circuit passes between the             poles or through any imperfectly conducting substance or             space. It is generally brought into action by any             disturbance of molecular equilibrium, whether from a             chemical, physical, or mechanical, cause.          Note: Electricity is manifested under following different                forms: (a)          {Statical electricity}, called also          {Frictional [or] Common}, {electricity}, electricity in the             condition of a stationary charge, in which the disturbance             is produced by friction, as of glass, amber, etc., or by             induction. (b)          {Dynamical electricity}, called also          {Voltaic electricity}, electricity in motion, or as a current             produced by chemical decomposition, as by means of a             voltaic battery, or by mechanical action, as by             dynamo-electric machines. (c)          {Thermoelectricity}, in which the disturbing cause is heat             (attended possibly with some chemical action). It is             developed by uniting two pieces of unlike metals in a bar,             and then heating the bar unequally. (d)          {Atmospheric electricity}, any condition of electrical             disturbance in the atmosphere or clouds, due to some or             all of the above mentioned causes. (e)          {Magnetic electricity}, electricity developed by the action             of magnets. (f)          {Positive electricity}, the electricity that appears at the             positive pole or anode of a battery, or that is produced             by friction of glass; -- called also {vitreous             electricity}. (g)          {Negative electricity}, the electricity that appears at the             negative pole or cathode, or is produced by the friction             of resinous substance; -- called also resinous             electricity. (h)          {Organic electricity}, that which is developed in organic             structures, either animal or vegetable, the phrase animal             electricity being much more common.          2. The science which unfolds the phenomena and laws of             electricity; electrical science.          3. Fig.: Electrifying energy or characteristic.

Electricity \E`lec*tric"i*ty\, n.; pl. {Electricities}. [Cf. F.       [82]lectricit[82]. See {Electric}.]       1. A power in nature, a manifestation of energy, exhibiting             itself when in disturbed equilibrium or in activity by a             circuit movement, the fact of direction in which involves             polarity, or opposition of properties in opposite             directions; also, by attraction for many substances, by a             law involving attraction between surfaces of unlike             polarity, and repulsion between those of like; by             exhibiting accumulated polar tension when the circuit is             broken; and by producing heat, light, concussion, and             often chemical changes when the circuit passes between the             poles or through any imperfectly conducting substance or             space. It is generally brought into action by any             disturbance of molecular equilibrium, whether from a             chemical, physical, or mechanical, cause.          Note: Electricity is manifested under following different                forms: (a)          {Statical electricity}, called also          {Frictional [or] Common}, {electricity}, electricity in the             condition of a stationary charge, in which the disturbance             is produced by friction, as of glass, amber, etc., or by             induction. (b)          {Dynamical electricity}, called also          {Voltaic electricity}, electricity in motion, or as a current             produced by chemical decomposition, as by means of a             voltaic battery, or by mechanical action, as by             dynamo-electric machines. (c)          {Thermoelectricity}, in which the disturbing cause is heat             (attended possibly with some chemical action). It is             developed by uniting two pieces of unlike metals in a bar,             and then heating the bar unequally. (d)          {Atmospheric electricity}, any condition of electrical             disturbance in the atmosphere or clouds, due to some or             all of the above mentioned causes. (e)          {Magnetic electricity}, electricity developed by the action             of magnets. (f)          {Positive electricity}, the electricity that appears at the             positive pole or anode of a battery, or that is produced             by friction of glass; -- called also {vitreous             electricity}. (g)          {Negative electricity}, the electricity that appears at the             negative pole or cathode, or is produced by the friction             of resinous substance; -- called also resinous             electricity. (h)          {Organic electricity}, that which is developed in organic             structures, either animal or vegetable, the phrase animal             electricity being much more common.          2. The science which unfolds the phenomena and laws of             electricity; electrical science.          3. Fig.: Electrifying energy or characteristic.

The purple gallinule of America is {Ionornis       Martinica}, that of the Old World is {Porphyrio porphyrio}.       The common European gallinule ({Gallinula chloropus}) is also       called {moor hen}, {water hen}, {water rail}, {moor coot},       {night bird}, and erroneously {dabchick}. Closely related to       it is the Florida gallinule ({Gallinula galeata}).          Note: The purple gallinule of Southern Europe and Asia was                formerly believed to be able to detect and report                adultery, and for that reason, chiefly, it was commonly                domesticated by the ancients.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
negative acknowledgement          1. (NAK) The {mnemonic} for {ASCII} character 21.          Sometimes used as the response to receipt of a corrupted       {packet} of information.          Opposite of {acknowledgement}.          2. (NAK) Any message transmitted to indicate       that some data has been received incorrectly, for example it       may have a {checksum} or message length error.   A NAK message       allows the sender to distinguish a message which has been       received in a corrupted state from one which is not received       at all.          An alternative is to use only {ACK} messages, in which case       the non-receipt of an ACK after a certain time is counted as a       NAK but gives no information about the integrity of the       communications channel.          See also {ACK}.          (1997-01-07)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Naughty figs       (Jer. 24:2). "The bad figs may have been such either from having       decayed, and thus been reduced to a rotten condition, or as       being the fruit of the sycamore, which contains a bitter juice"       (Tristram, Nat. Hist.). The inferiority of the fruit is here       referred to as an emblem of the rejected Zedekiah and his       people.
