LPAR is a Logical PARtition, a section of hardware in a mainframe dedicated to one operating system instance. Basically a form of visualization.

A sysplex is a SYStems comPLEX. Basically a cluster of mainframes.

Basically, you reboot a single LPAR containing one specific thing rather than the entire physical system or cluster.

It's basically like having multiple independent servers for each thing, but more reliable and more flexible.

Yep, you read that right. Your fundamental rights are determined by what the government, courts, and special government bodies(like the CRTC) says they are. In other words, the charter is worth less than the paper it's written on.

As opposed to every other country where they simply assume such a clause out of whole cloth.
