A bit off-topic, but I'd like to reference my own trade (when I had one): high availability IT. This is usually accomplished by having all critical components duplicated, with one active and the...

Not that it makes much difference.

I grudgingly agree that "helicopter" could be a valuable because meaningful prefix. All the rest is ear-candy.
