1. In machines, the amount of time, when operating a bank of machines, between any one of them failing. Not lifetime, as hard drive manufacturers want you to think. It is the average amount of time between failures of indivdual parts when talking about a system.
2. In biology, the average lifespan of each individual organism which has a particular set of genes or "environment of luck". An "environment of luck" can be something like all people who fly on a plane, living around individuals who want you dead in the worst way,all people who smoke, or some other demographic.

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.

Referring to the event of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. He was nailed to a cross (standard Christian) or a stake (Jehovah's Witness).
Today's kids don't realize how friendly Jesus is because they've never seen Christ on a stick and they don't know how much he suffered.

Any town which has 10% or less of its population younger than 55, has no public transportation, and any place to buy goods at a reasonable price is just outside of a 3 hour walk one way. So called because you need a car to get anywhere fun, and cars burn gasoline, which means more $$$ for the oil companies. If you are lucky, you might be able to take a ride to Wal*Mart on unicorn or dragon for a small fare (I'm being sarcastic on that last sentence.)
The main advantage is low crime, if a bank gets robbed, a walker or cane would of been used as a deadly weapon.

A mythical programming language, similar to C++, where you describe in a text file how you want someone to die, usually in a gruesome way, and the compiler 3D renders a video file of the death complete with blood and guts. A game which I wish they would make but the do-gooders won't allow it because they think it will make kids go on killing sprees.
--sample Death++ code:--
/* mayandrink.dpp Mayan Sacrifice */
#include <athame.h>
#include <goblet.h>
create(victim1);
Standup(victim1);
SlitThroat(victim1,athame1,1,1){
while throat(victim1) not bleeding{
waitVblankStart()/* wait for blood to start oozing out */
}
}
while throat(victim1) bleeding and goblet not full{
goblet.place(underthroat) /*catch the blood in the goblet */
}
/* the grand finale! drinking the human blood! */
goblet.drink(self,GOBLET_CAPACITY);
end();
--sample Death++ code:--
/* mayandrink.dpp Mayan Sacrifice */
#include <athame.h>

Lamer1: "I'm bored, lets play the game Dance Dance Revolution:Skyclad Forest Edition!"
Man1: "Naw, let's make a Mayan Sacrifice Ritual video in Death++!"
