Autonomic

From a pop-up dialog window on my laptop computer:

The IBM Active Protection System is an autonomic feature that helps protect your hard drive from damage caused by physical shock and vibration. It continuously monitors the movement of your ThinkPad computer and temporarily stops the hard drive when a fall or similar damaging event is predicted

Nice word—"autonomic." Googling it reveals that IBM owns it (seemingly).

Sure beats all those "self-healing" software systems I read about 10 years ago. And if I hear something described as "mission-critical" again, I may throw a fit. So be warned.

Botnet

Just what is a botnet

botnet (I'm feeling lucky) / botnet herder (google search)

Bots, Drones, Zombies, Worms and other things that go bump in the night.
