  Wikipedia: GNU
GNU is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix".
The original announcement was followed by Stallman's "GNU Manifesto" and other essays that laid out his motivations for the GNU project, one of which was to "bring back the cooperative spirit that prevailed in the computing community in earlier days".
In the GNU Manifesto, Stallman had mentioned that "an initial kernel exists but many more features are needed to emulate Unix." He was referring to TRIX, a remote procedure call kernel developed at MIT, whose authors had decided to distribute for free, and was compatible with UNIX version 7.

GNU Hurd is the set of programs or servers run on top of a microkernel (it currently uses the GNU Mach microkernel, but efforts port the Hurd to the L4 microkernel are currently ongoing).
The "GNU" in GNU Hurd indicates that it is a part of the GNU project, while "GNU/Hurd" distinguishes it as one of the two currently available GNU systems--that is, Linux-based GNU systems (or "GNU/Linux") as opposed to Hurd-based GNU systems (or "GNU/Hurd").

 GNU Robots - FAQ
With GNOME Robots and BSD Robots, the idea is that you control a player that is trying to run away from a bunch of mindless robots.
Once you set your GNU Robot loose, the robot is entirely independent of you, and must navigate the game map using only the logic that you provided in your robot program.
GNU Robots is a different concept from these other programs.

Baby GNU The GNU project was announced to the public on September 27, 1983, on the net.unix-wizards and net.usoft newsgroups.
The original announcement was followed by Stallman's "GNU Manifesto" and other essays that laid out his motivations for the GNU project, one of which was to "bring back the cooperative spirit that prevailed in the computing community in earlier days."

 Gnu   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The GNU project was launched in 1983 by Richard Stallman with the goal of creating a complete free operating system: the GNU system.
The UNIX architecture allowed GNU to be written as individual software components: components that were already freely available, such as the TeX typesetting system and the X Window graphics system, could be adapted and reused; others would be written.
The GNU system is most commonly encountered in this form, usually referred to as a "GNU/Linux system" or a "Linux distribution." As of 2004, the Hurd is still in active development, and an experimental version of the GNU system that uses the Hurd instead of Linux is now available.

 NewsForge | GNU Bayonne extends support for synthesized voices
David Sugar writes: (November 30th, Bayonne, NJ) With the latest GNU Bayonne beta release (1.1.2), we have greatly expanded support for and integration of automated text to speech synthesized voice systems.
This allows one to create standard GNU Bayonne telephony applications which will operate whether voice synthesis is available or not, as well as simplify the development and maintenance of such applications.
While we have initially worked with integrating "flite" based text to speech synthesis systems with GNU Bayonne, we are interested in supporting other voice synthesis systems as well.
