The way I see it, it was used for everything before Fast-SCSI was invented.
Not really. Classic Macs used to have them, so maybe LPI are into retro computing. All the other ancient stuff that I recall used the big Centronics connectors but jjeff1 is probably right.

I guess this isn't done in other countries. The day before my wedding, we "rehearsed" the steps and words and walking and stuff that we would do in the actual wedding, then we all went out to eat.
I wasn't being entirely serious but big weddings are largely out of style here. I wouldn't like to guess what percentage of people have a wedding rehearsal, let alone a dinner afterwards.
I can see if you were going for a big wedding, a less formal family dinner beforehand might be a welcome break. Never having been to a wedding rehearsal, the only thing that comes to mind is "Kill Bill". I guess that's not entirely typical.

I see no mention of your favourite candy or where your wedding rehersal dinner was held however.
It appears they've re-invented the wheel by coming up with their own questions.
Either that or they bought a 'stupid questions for bamking sites' package off someone. The questions are different, apart from the ones you mention, which obviously wouldn't be used in the UK.
I can translate candy but WTF is a 'wedding rehersal dinner'. Why would you need to practice eating?

What memory leaks?Given the rate they have been fixing them lately:

it would be rather absurd to claim it doesn't have any now, even if a lot of the memory in use is cache.

A millifleem is?
An engineering unit. Often in SCADA applications what you actually read is a voltage input from an ADC or something. It often won't be precisely calibrated to an absolute value, so it's typical to have a conversion factor in the software somewhere. It's like having an amplifier go up to 10, the actual raw number you read off the dial doesn't mean a lot.

"Link segments" are segments that don't have any active devices on them - they're just connections between repeaters (hubs + similar crap). This network is misconfigured.
<Sigh> You pulled that definition from your hat. This is what 802.3 says:
"1.4.200 link segment: The point-to-point full-duplex medium connection between two and only two
Medium Dependent Interfaces (MDIs)." All 10BASE-T segments are link segments.
There is a good discussion of the multi segment configuration guidelines in "Ethernet: The Definitive Guide", which happens to be the preview chapter at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/enettdg/chapter/ch13.html

Which is, of course, the reason why it was so slow. Ethernet does not
support more than a distance of three segments with active devices
(computers) in a collision domain. With four hubs, there would be five
segments here.
Plain 10Mbit Ethernet configuration rules are largely academic now. However, you have fallen into the common error of misunderstanding what the 3 part of the 5-4-3 rule is. What 802.3 (13.3e) actually says is:
"When a transmission path consists of four repeater sets and five segments, up to three of the segments
may be mixing and the remainder must be link segments"

Fails on any input file containing the byte string "]]>".
Yes, but it's way more broken than that. It uses the default UTF-8 encoding, so feeding random binary in is almost certain to generate invalid code sequences. And C0 controls will likely break it too.
So we have a tool used to wrap binary data, that really only works properly with ASCII printable characters. Most of the time. And what it does is pointless anyway: if you just want to dump random binary garbage into an XML format, why not use the existing standard, OOXML?
