One of a class of auxiliary numbers, devised by John Napier, of Merchiston, Scotland (1550-1617), to abridge arithmetical calculations, by the use of addition and subtraction in place of multiplication and division.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
logarithmus dualis (ld) Latin for {logarithm} base two. More commonly written as "log" with a subscript "2". Roughly the number of {bits} required to represent an {integer}. (1999-03-19)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Luser Attitude Re-adjustment Tool (LART) Something large, heavy and painful, used to respond appropriately to particularly annoying {lusers}. The alt.sysadmin.recovery {FAQ} recommends the following LARTs. A 2x4 works fine, but a real professional needs something a little more effective. Unfortunately, this is a very personal thing, and no consensus has yet been reached on the group. Everything from a simple, 7.65mm Walther (for the Bond fans only, it's not a very good gun) to a 155mm with depleted Uranium rounds has been suggested, some even going for exotic things like Thermite, nukes or flamethrowers. For further info, look at the rec.guns home page. {alt.sysadmin.recovery FAQ (http://www.ctrl-c.liu.se/~ingvar/asr/overview.html)}. (1998-12-09)
