From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   punt v.   [from the punch line of an old joke referring to
   American football: "Drop back 15 yards and punt!"] 1. To give up,
   typically without any intention of retrying.   "Let's punt the movie
   tonight."   "I was going to hack all night to get this feature in,
   but I decided to punt" may mean that you've decided not to stay up
   all night, and may also mean you're not ever even going to put in
   the feature.   2. More specifically, to give up on figuring out what
   the {Right Thing} is and resort to an inefficient hack.   3. A design
   decision to defer solving a problem, typically because one cannot
   define what is desirable sufficiently well to frame an algorithmic
   solution.   "No way to know what the right form to dump the graph in
   is -- we'll punt that for now."   4. To hand a tricky implementation
   problem off to some other section of the design.   "It's too hard to
   get the compiler to do that; let's punt to the runtime system." 5.
   To knock someone off an Internet or chat connection; a `punter'
   thus, is a person or program that does this.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   point
  
      1. (Sometimes abbreviated "pt") The unit of
      length for {text} {characters}.   There are six slightly
      different definitions: {Truchet point}, {Didot point}, {ATA
      point}, {TeX point}, {Postscript point}, and {IN point}.
  
      The most commonly used are ATA in the USA and Didot in Europe.
  
      A {twip} is 1/20 of a PostScript[?] point.
  
      {Different point systems
      (http://www.vakcer.com/oberon/dtp/fonts/point.htm)}.
  
      (2002-03-10)
  
      2. To move a {pointing device} so that the
      on-screen pointer is positioned over a certain object on the
      screen such as a {button} in a {graphical user interface}.   In
      most {window systems} it is then necessary to {click} a
      (physical) button on the pointing device to activate or select
      the object.   In some systems, just pointing to an object is
      known as "mouse-over" {event} which may cause some help text
      (called a "tool tip" in {Windows}) to be displayed.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Paint
      Jezebel "painted her face" (2 Kings 9:30); and the practice of
      painting the face and the eyes seems to have been common (Jer.
      4:30; Ezek. 23:40). An allusion to this practice is found in the
      name of Job's daughter (42:14) Kerenhappuch (q.v.). Paintings in
      the modern sense of the word were unknown to the ancient Jews.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Pound

      Ezra 2:69; Neh. 7:71, 72). Gr. litra, equal to about 12 oz.
      avoirdupois (John 12:3; 19:39).
     
         (2.) A sum of money; the Gr. mna or mina (Luke 19:13, 16, 18,
      20, 24, 25). It was equal to 100 drachmas, and was of the value
      of about $3, 6s. 8d. of our money. (See {MONEY}.)
