live data          1. Data that is written to be interpreted and takes over       program flow when triggered by some un-obvious operation, such       as viewing it.   One use of such hacks is to break security.       For example, some smart terminals have commands that allow one       to download strings to program keys; this can be used to write       live data that, when listed to the terminal, infects it with a       security-breaking {virus} that is triggered the next time a       hapless user strikes that key.   For another, there are some       well-known bugs in {vi} that allow certain texts to send       arbitrary commands back to the machine when they are simply       viewed.          2. In {C}, data that includes pointers to functions       (executable code).          3. An object, such as a {trampoline}, that is constructed on       the fly by a program and intended to be executed as code.          4. Actual real-world data, as opposed to "test data".   For       example, "I think I have the record deletion module finished."       "Have you tried it out on live data?"   This usage usually       carries the connotation that live data is more fragile and       must not be corrupted, or bad things will happen.   So a more       appropriate response to the above claim might be: "Well, make       sure it works perfectly before we throw live data at it."   The       implication here is that record deletion is something pretty       significant, and a haywire record-deletion module running amok       on live data would probably cause great harm.          [{Jargon File}]
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lapidoth       torches. Deborah is called "the wife of Lapidoth" (Judg. 4:4).       Some have rendered the expression "a woman of a fiery spirit,"       under the supposition that Lapidoth is not a proper name, a       woman of a torch-like spirit.
From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
Lapidoth, enlightened; lamps
