Elements database 20001107
This dictionary database was created by Jay F. Kominek
(Feel free to send any comments, additions,
corrections, money to that address) It was compiled from a variety of
sources, and is in my opinion, a work of my own. (The only stuff that
was really copied verbatim was the atomic numbers and weights, please,
I'd like to see someone try and exert a copyright on the values of atoms.)
So, I place this in the public domain, if it somehow breaks, you get to
keep both pieces. It'd be nice if you kept the fact that I compiled the
information in here, but is not needed.
Up to date copies can probably be found on the web at:

#======= THIS IS THE JARGON FILE, VERSION 4.2.3, 23 NOV 2000 =======#
This is the Jargon File, a comprehensive compendium of hacker slang
illuminating many aspects of hackish tradition, folklore, and humor.
This document (the Jargon File) is in the public domain, to be freely
used, shared, and modified. There are (by intention) no legal restraints
on what you can do with it, but there are traditions about its proper
use to which many hackers are quite strongly attached. Please extend
the courtesy of proper citation when you quote the File, ideally with
a version number, as it will change and grow over time. (Examples of
appropriate citation form: "Jargon File 4.2.3" or "The on-line hacker
Jargon File, version 4.2.3, 23 NOV 2000".)
The Jargon File is a common heritage of the hacker culture. Over
the years a number of individuals have volunteered considerable time to
maintaining the File and been recognized by the net at large as editors
of it. Editorial responsibilities include: to collate contributions
and suggestions from others; to seek out corroborating information;
to cross-reference related entries; to keep the file in a consistent
format; and to announce and distribute updated versions periodically.
Current volunteer editors include:
Eric Raymond
Although there is no requirement that you do so, it is considered
good form to check with an editor before quoting the File in a published
work or commercial product. We may have additional information that
would be helpful to you and can assist you in framing your quote to
reflect not only the letter of the File but its spirit as well.
All contributions and suggestions about this file sent to a volunteer
editor are gratefully received and will be regarded, unless otherwise
labelled, as freely given donations for possible use as part of this
public-domain file.
From time to time a snapshot of this file has been polished, edited,
and formatted for commercial publication with the cooperation of the
volunteer editors and the hacker community at large. If you wish to
have a bound paper copy of this file, you may find it convenient to
purchase one of these. They often contain additional material not found
in on-line versions. The two `authorized' editions so far are described
in the Revision History section; there may be more in the future.

Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Public Domain -- Copy Freely
These Dictionary topics are from M.G. Easton M.A., D.D., Illustrated
Bible Dictionary, Third Edition, published by Thomas Nelson, 1897. Due
to the nature of etext, the illustrated portion of the Dictionary have
not been included.
The current format has been designed for programatic reference, placing
50 topics in a file, preceeding each topic with $$topic_number,
surrounding the topic name with back-slashes, References to other topics
are prefixed with a ¯ (ascii 175) double arrow followed by the 8 byte
topic number. It should be noted that it is possible to have the topic
prefix followed by "(n/a)". This is due to a very small number of topic
references which were unable to be resolved. These topics are:
Laadan, Land Laws, Vashni.
These topics are not listed in the printed edition and it is not
apparent what Mr. Eastone intended. The verse references have not been
marked up or tagged for program usage. It is hoped someone will do this
work and make the resulting files available to the person(s) below.

the following. If any errors are located, please ensure you have the

PREFACE
_The Devil's Dictionary_ was begun in a weekly paper in 1881, and was
continued in a desultory way at long intervals until 1906. In that
year a large part of it was published in covers with the title _The
Cynic's Word Book_, a name which the author had not the power to
reject or happiness to approve. To quote the publishers of the
present work:
"This more reverent title had previously been forced upon him by
the religious scruples of the last newspaper in which a part of the
work had appeared, with the natural consequence that when it came out
in covers the country already had been flooded by its imitators with a
score of 'cynic' books -- _The Cynic's This_, _The Cynic's That_, and
_The Cynic's t'Other_. Most of these books were merely stupid, though
some of them added the distinction of silliness. Among them, they
brought the word 'cynic' into disfavor so deep that any book bearing
it was discredited in advance of publication."
Meantime, too, some of the enterprising humorists of the country
had helped themselves to such parts of the work as served their needs,
and many of its definitions, anecdotes, phrases and so forth, had
become more or less current in popular speech. This explanation is
made, not with any pride of priority in trifles, but in simple denial
of possible charges of plagiarism, which is no trifle. In merely
resuming his own the author hopes to be held guiltless by those to
whom the work is addressed -- enlightened souls who prefer dry wines
to sweet, sense to sentiment, wit to humor and clean English to slang.
A conspicuous, and it is hope not unpleasant, feature of the book
is its abundant illustrative quotations from eminent poets, chief of
whom is that learned and ingenius cleric, Father Gassalasca Jape,
S.J., whose lines bear his initials. To Father Jape's kindly
encouragement and assistance the author of the prose text is greatly
indebted.
