Distributed systems: Because a single computer can't deal with your procrastination
In our eagerness to bring you all the definitions of the world of technology we hired a sherpa, with calves made of steel, who travels the confines of the Himalayas collecting the most exclusive and inaccessible information from temple to temple.
