I'm trying to remember enough Star Drek to figure out what the Ll
would be for LCARS. It seems to have been portrayed as being bugfree,
aside from some occational security problems..

Never use mail in the place of FTP. Doh!
AutoLART Applied. Ouch!

Ouch, ouch!)

I somehow mis-parsed this as "plate mail". Recovery can be quite sweet,
especially when you get kidnapped at dawn, dragged into a Chaos temple,
bound, and tortured, just to get out about an hour later, nearly unharmed.
Just like visiting home while travelling...
A true BOFH can create more havoc than any Chaos priestess any time.
Jens, looking forward to the next LARPs

Your formula includes a division by "MU", which you define as "Maximum
Uptime, the maximum number of days the system will run without the need
for a reboot."
Is this a real number? If it's integer, I think your Ll values for most
versions of "win"dows are too low because they're finite.
Actually, I think that anyway.
