SNAFU (W3)

The website www.snafu.com claims that SNAFU was created by two Army Signal Corps soldiers in 1941. According to the story, the two were using a relatively new code converter that converted messages into five-letter code groups. One evening while making sentences out of the five letter groups, the machine printed out SNAFU, prompting one of the soldiers to come up with the associated acronym.

This and a host of other explanations regarding the origin of SNAFU cannot be confirmed.

Seminoles (W3)

...
The Spaniards called some of these indigenous Florida people "cimarrones", or "free people", because they would not allow themselves to be dominated by the Europeans. The word was taken into the Maskókî language and, by the mid 1800s, U.S. citizens referred to all Florida people as "Seminoles".
...

semtribe
Muscogee - Language of the Seminole Tribe of Florida
Miccosukee - Language of the Seminole Tribe of Florida

The Seminole Indians have two languages still in use today, neither of which is traditionally written.
"Muscogee" (Creek) and "Miccosukee" are related but not mutually intelligible. Both languages contain sentence structures and sounds that do not exist in English and are difficult to pronounce using the English language.

With some words the two languages seem to mirror each other; and sometimes the two lingos are uncomparable. For example, the English word bread would be pronounced "tak-la-eek-i" in the Muscogee dialect and "pa-les-tee" in Miccosukee. "Dog" is "ef-fa" in Creek, "ee-fe" in Miccosukee. "Cow" is "wa-ka" in Creek "waa-ke" in Miccosukee.

Many Seminoles are fluent in both languages; some only speak one or the other.

The names of many Florida cities, counties, places, rivers and lakes are taken from Seminole words, both Creek and Miccosukee.

• "Apalachicola" = "place of the ruling people"
• "Chattahoochee" = "marked stones"
• "Hialeah" = "prairie"
• "Immokalee" = "my camp"
• "Miami" = "that place"
• "Ocala" = "spring"
• "Palatka" = "ferry crossing"
• "Yeehaw" = "wolf"
• "Pahokee" = "grassy water"
• "Apopka" = "potato eating place"
• "Okeechobee" = "big water"
• "Homosassa" = "pepper place"
• "Thonotosassa" = "flint place"

phish, phishing, phisher, Phreaking (W3)

The act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The e-mail directs the user to visit a Web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. ...
...
By spamming large groups of people, the "phisher" counted on the e-mail being read by a percentage of people who actually had listed credit card numbers with eBay legitimately.
Phishing, also referred to as "brand spoofing" or "carding", is a variation on "fishing", the idea being that bait is thrown out with the hopes that while most will ignore the bait, some will be tempted into biting.

...
Did You Know...
The word "phishing" comes from the analogy that Internet scammers are using e-mail lures to "fish" for passwords and financial data from the sea of Internet users. The term was coined in 1996 by hackers who were stealing AOL Internet accounts by scamming passwords from unsuspecting AOL users. Since hackers have a tendency to replacing "f" with "ph" the term "phishing" was derived.

Die Bezeichnung "Phishing" leitet sich vom "Fischen" (engl. "fishing") nach persönlichen Daten ab. Die Ersetzung des "F" durch "Ph" stellt eine Imitation des Begriffes "Phreaking" dar, der sich in den 70er Jahren durch eine Zusammenziehung von "Phone" und "Freak" ergab.

RAID (W3)

... , a category of disk drives that employ two or more drives in combination for fault tolerance and performance. RAID disk drives are used frequently on servers but aren't generally necessary for personal computers.

There are number of different RAID levels:

• Level 0 -- Striped Disk Array without Fault Tolerance: Provides data striping (spreading out blocks of each file across multiple disk drives) but no redundancy. This improves performance but does not deliver fault tolerance. If one drive fails then all data in the array is lost.
• Level 1 -- Mirroring and Duplexing: Provides disk mirroring. Level 1 provides twice the read transaction rate of single disks and the same write transaction rate as single disks.
• Level 2 -- Error-Correcting Coding: Not a typical implementation and rarely used, Level 2 stripes data at the bit level rather than the block level.
• Level 3 -- Bit-Interleaved Parity: Provides byte-level striping with a dedicated parity disk. Level 3, which cannot service simultaneous multiple requests, also is rarely used.
• Level 4 -- Dedicated Parity Drive: A commonly used implementation of RAID, Level 4 provides block-level striping (like Level 0) with a parity disk. If a data disk fails, the parity data is used to create a replacement disk. A disadvantage to Level 4 is that the parity disk can create write bottlenecks.
• Level 5 -- Block Interleaved Distributed Parity: Provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction information. This results in excellent performance and good fault tolerance. Level 5 is one of the most popular implementations of RAID.
• Level 6 -- Independent Data Disks with Double Parity: Provides block-level striping with parity data distributed across all disks.
• Level 0+1 - A Mirror of Stripes: Not one of the original RAID levels, two RAID 0 stripes are created, and a RAID 1 mirror is created over them. Used for both replicating and sharing data among disks.
• Level 10 - A Stripe of Mirrors: Not one of the original RAID levels, multiple RAID 1 mirrors are created, and a RAID 0 stripe is created over these.
• Level 7: A trademark of Storage Computer Corporation that adds caching to Levels 3 or 4.
• RAID S: EMC Corporation's proprietary striped parity RAID system used in its Symmetrix storage systems.

Heidschi Bumbeidschi, -ci (W3)

Bekannt ist, daß auf dem Balkan christliche Knaben von Osmanischen Soldaten entführt und für den Sultanshof erzogen wurden, aus ihnen rekrutierten sich die Janitscharen, die Privatarmee des Sultan. Auf diese "Knabenlese" könnte sich das Lied beziehen; andererseits kann es sich auch einfach auf die permanente Kriegssituation beziehen; immerhin war die Grenze zwischen Osmanen und Habsburgern jahrhundertelang militärisch umstritten, Reibereien waren an der Tagesordnung - und da stehen beide, Osmanen und Habsburger gleich da: Übergriffe über die Grenze mit Kidnapping, Terroraktionen, Plünderungen gab es hüben wie drüben.
...

...
Dem Salzburger Mönch wird eine weitere Aufzeichnung zugeschrieben. Das weihnachtliche Lied "Josef, lieber Josef mein (hilf mir wiegen mein Kindelein)" taucht 1728 mit anderem Text wieder auf. Der "Weynacht Gesang zu drey Hürten. Im Thon: wie man das Kindlein wiegt" kursierte dreißig Jahre zuvor als "Lauffet Ihr Hirten von Euerem Herdt ..." mit derselben Melodie. Die mittlerweile geläufige Melodie verwendete der zehnjährige Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart als Imitation eines Hirtenliedes. Zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts erklang eben diese Melodie mit wiederum anderem Text wieder. Franz Ziska und Julius Max Schottky zeichneten sie als Mundart-Wiegenlied "Haidl, bubaidl ..." auf. Die letzten Strophen dieser Textversion werden - nunmehr mit "einer gänzlich anderen, kraftvollen und zweistimmig zu singenden Weise" - im 20. Jahrhundert als allseits bekanntes "Heidschi bumbeidschi" gesungen, skizziert Deutsch die Geschichte dieses Liedes.

Nabel, der Nabel der Welt, Omphalos, Nablus, Nabe (W3)

Der Göttervater Zeus, so berichtet die griechische Sage, wollte eines Tages herausfinden, wo die Mitte der Erde sei. Zu diesem Zweck ließ er an ihren beiden Enden zwei mächtige Adler aufsteigen. Mit gleicher Geschwindigkeit flogen sie aufeinander zu und an der Stelle, wo sie sich begegneten ließen sie den Heiligen Stein zur Erde fallen, der von nun an die Mitte der Welt bezeichnete. Der Stein hieß "Omphalos". Das griechische Wort für Nabel.

Etymologically speaking, it's my favorite verb, coming from the Hebrew "shemuoth", for "news" or "rumor" (= "Gerücht"). I remember getting my first scoop (vandalism of a history teacher's toupee) for the Attrition Valley High Gazette after "schmoozing" the principal for the names of the perps.
