- (not) all beer and skittles — (not) pure pleasure and enjoyment
- address resolution protocol — (networking, protocol) (ARP) A method for finding a host's Ethernet address from its Internet address. The sender broadcasts an ARP packet containing the Internet address of another host and waits for it (or some other host) to send back its Ethernet address. Each host maintains a cache of address translations to reduce delay and loading. ARP allows the Internet address to be independent of the Ethernet address but it only works if all hosts support it. ARP is defined in RFC 826. The alternative for hosts that do not do ARP is constant mapping. See also proxy ARP, reverse ARP.

- application service element — (networking) (ASE) Software in the presentation layer of the OSI seven layer model which provides an abstracted interface layer to service application protocol data units (APDU). Because applications and networks vary, ASEs are split into common services and specific services. Examples of services provided by the common application service element (CASE) include remote operations (ROSE) and database concurrency control and recovery (CCR). The specific application service element (SASE) provides more specialised services such as file transfer, database access, and order entry.
- applicative order reduction — (programming) An evaluation strategy under which an expression is evaluated by repeatedly evaluating its leftmost innermost redex. This means that a function's arguments are evaluated before the function is applied. This method will not terminate if a function is given a non-terminating expression as an argument even if the function is not strict in that argument. Also known as call-by-value since the values of arguments are passed rather than their names. This is the evaluation strategy used by ML, Scheme, Hope and most procedural languages such as C and Pascal. See also normal order reduction, parallel reduction.

- as sensible as a dictionary — (humour) In Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there, in the chapter The Garden of Live Flowers, the Red Queen is talking to Alice about what she's been up to: "I only wanted to see what the garden was like, your Majesty -" "That's right," said the Queen, patting her on the head, which Alice didn't like at all, "though, when you say "garden" - I've seen gardens, compared with which this would be a wilderness." Alice didn't dare argue the point, but went on: "- and I thought I'd try and find my way to the top of that hill -" "When you say "hill"", the Queen interrupted, "I could show you hills, in comparison with which you'd call that a valley." "No, I shouldn't," said Alice, surprised into contradicting her at last: "a hill can't be a valley, you know. That would be nonsense -" The Red Queen shook her head. "You may call it "nonsense" if you like," she said, "but I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!" Alice curtseyed again, as she was a little afraid from the Queen's tone that she was a little offended: and they walked on in silence till they got to the top of the little hill.

- common internet file system — (protocol) (CIFS) An Internet file system protocol, based on Microsoft's SMB. Microsoft has given CIFS to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an Internet Draft. CIFS is intended to complement existing protocols such as HTTP, FTP, and NFS. CIFS runs on top of TCP/IP and uses the Internet's Domain Name Service (DNS). It is optimised to support the slower speed dial-up connections common on the Internet. CIFS is more flexible than FTP. FTP operations are carried out on entire files whereas CIFS is aimed at routine data access and incorporates high-performance multi-user read and write operations, locking, and file-sharing semantics. CIFS is probably closest in functionality to NFS. NFS gives random access to files and directories, but is stateless. With CIFS, once a file is open, state about the current access to that file is stored on both the client and the server. This allows changes on the server side to be notified to the clients that are interested.
