A geographically and logically defined grouping of sub-area networks within a much larger Autonomous System network. Intraprises may contain multiple data centers, LANs and MANs. They can interconnect via ISP WAN circuits, point to point circuits, and wireless links. Several Intraprises consistute the Enterprise. These Intraprise networks are reachable from all other Intraprises in the same Enterprise network.
A large Autonomous System enterprise network, that has several NOCs managing specific portions of the enterprise can be divided into Intraprise areas of responsibility. Example: You have a large enterprise AS network, that has LANs in every state capital city. You have 3 Network Operations centers in the U.S. One NOC is in New York. The second NOC is in Oklahoma. The third NOC is in Seattle. Each one of these NOCs manage an Intraprise portion of the network that includes all of the state capital LANs in that particular area of the country. All the LANs use WAN circuits to communicate into the same AS, but are really part of the Intraprise managed by their respective NOC.
A meta-philosophical framework that examines the infrastructure of philosophy itself—the underlying structures, institutions, practices, and assumptions that make philosophical inquiry possible and shape what philosophy becomes. Infraphilosophy asks not just philosophical questions but questions about philosophy: How are philosophers trained? How do philosophical communities form? What institutions support philosophical work? How do funding, publishing, and academic careers shape what philosophy gets done? What conceptual frameworks are so fundamental they're invisible, treated as simply "how philosophy is done" rather than contingent choices? Infraphilosophy reveals that philosophy is not just a pure pursuit of wisdom but a human activity embedded in infrastructure—and that understanding philosophy requires understanding this infrastructure as surely as understanding philosophical arguments themselves.
Example: "His infraphilosophy analysis traced how the dominance of analytic philosophy in Anglophone departments wasn't just about better arguments—it was about institutional infrastructure: which departments had power, which journals published which work, which networks trained which students."
To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."
A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.
Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
