Braveheart's thirst for blood's definitions
In engineering, any destructive test which results in the system under test being destroyed even if the system passes the test. Usually done more for the entertainment value of destruction instead of achieving any scientific end. Refers to the Renaissance-era test in which a (supposed) witch was thrown into a large body of water--if she drowns, she's not a witch..if she floats, she's a witch and was killed by another method. Both results of the test result in death.
Me:"Don't send your antique radio to Ignautius, he only does witches tests."
My friend:"What does he do?"
Me:"If a fuse blows he replaces it with a higher amperage fuse until something else blows."

Get the witches test mug.Like Mickey Mouse's brooms, sorcerer's apprentice mode is a computer event that triggers over and over again on its own output. There was once a time on USENET (an internet message board system) where a program was written to cancel anonymously posted messages automatically. Problem was, the canceling message was also an anonymous message which caused the program to trigger on its own output.
This actually will happen if you try to downgrade a 2.0 firmware PSP and you have Norton running...the screen real estate gets used up faster and faster with the same darn error message. This is because it gets a false positive that the downgrader is PSPBrick, then Norton quarantines the "virus" which causes it to notice the freshly quarantined virus as a new virus that was just installed seconds later, and the process repeats.
some source (sorce) code
int main(){
printf("There's been a horrible error!);
main(); /* call the main function and eat more memory */
}
return 0

Get the sorcerer's apprentice mode mug.(From the nuclear power industry's false promise about electricity being so cheap as not being able to charge for it)
1. In a fantasy or western-european-Pagan setting, sorcerous things that use so little mana as to be insignificant and not get you persecuted if you use them. Dancing naked in the forest when no one's looking and no camera is rolling is witchcraft that's too cheap to meter.
2. In a broader sense, a deed in a gray area (of society) that's so small as to not even be noticed.

1. At 10:45 AM I took off all my clothes and went into the woods and did a thankful little jig when it didn't snow. I'm Christian, but it was witchcraft that's too cheap to meter.
2. Gina:"Are you downloading MP3 files again?"
Sean:"Yeah, don't worry, it's witchcraft that's too cheap to meter. You won't get caught."
2. In 1996 I took some toilet paper and stuffed it into the bathroom exhaust fan at my grandmother's house, she didn't mind because it was similar to witchcraft that was too cheap to meter.

Get the witchcraft that's too cheap to meter mug.An effective method of deterring truly worthless individuals from doing a capital offense again. Works better when someone is killed based on their actions (like sodomize a child) than things they did not choose to do (like be black) The only thing that rocks more than the death penalty is the Deity. Whoops, one thing rocks more than the Deity, a Deity which has automatic death penalty (which occured in Biblical times)
Schoolite: We should abolish the death penalty because it kills people who have value. Me: Well if you want a world full of people who do violent and sexual crimes, then the death penalty is not for you.

Get the Death Penalty mug.A name given to the iPod Video when the software won't let you put videos on it because it's in a standard format instead and not in the nonstandard format the iPod understands. Comes from the television industry term which describes a video signal which carries only a full color black picture (i.e. a content-free video signal).

Get the Linkicide mug.A legal document stating that you should stop doing something, written in legalese and with the threat of taking you to court. A cease & desist letter.
When they released the FooCat :CueCat barcode scanner decrypting software, DigitalConvergence sent them a nastygram. My neighbor's lawyer sent me a nastygram telling me that my son is playing his Satanic non-music too loud and drawing pentagrams using plant food on his lawn, and will sue me for $666,666.00 if he doesn't quit.
