n.
In Star Trek: The Next Generation the Borg is a species of cyborg that
ruthlessly seeks to incorporate all sentient life into itself; their slogan
is “You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.” In hacker parlance, the
Borg is usually Microsoft, which is thought to be trying just as
ruthlessly to assimilate all computers and the entire Internet to itself
(there is a widely circulated image of Bill Gates as a Borg). Being forced
to use Windows or NT is often referred to as being “Borged”. Interestingly,
the Halloween Documents reveal that this jargon is live within Microsoft
itself. See also Evil Empire, Internet Exploiter.
Other companies, notably Intel and UUNet, have also occasionally been
equated to the Borg. In IETF circles, where direct pressure from Microsoft
is not a daily reality, the Borg is sometimes Cisco. This usage
commemorates their tendency to pay any price to hire talent away from their
competitors. In fact, at the Spring 1997 IETF, a large number of ex-Cisco
employees, all former members of Routing Geeks, showed up with t-shirts
printed with “Recovering Borg”.

One who holds the doctrines of the New Jerusalem church, as

religious writer, who was born a. d. 1688 and died 1772.
Swedenborg claimed to have intercourse with the spiritual
world, through the opening of his spiritual senses in 1745.
He taught that the Lord Jesus Christ, as comprehending in
himself all the fullness of the Godhead, is the one only God,
and that there is a spiritual sense to the Scriptures, which
he (Swedenborg) was able to reveal, because he saw the
correspondence between natural and spiritual things.
