And 42 is the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy's Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything
And 42 is the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy's Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything
In Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 42 is the number from which all meaning ("the meaning of life, the universe, and everything") could be derived.
A BBC radio script based on Adams' book contains the following lines:
("Cave man" lays out following sentence in Scrabble stones: "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?")
Arthur: Six by nine? Forty-two? You know, I've always felt that there was something fundamentally wrong with the Universe.
(Faint and distant voice
Base thirteen!
For the literal-minded and those unfamiliar with terms like "base thirteen," this is a number system in which the number 10 is equivalent to our more familiar decimal 13. A base-13 number 42, therefore, is the same as four 13s plus 2, or decimal 54. So "six by nine" (six times nine) or decimal 54 is, in base 13, 42. For the mystically inclined, 42 in base 13 is the same as 110110 in binary (base 2). This could mean almost anything, and many Adams fans have spent untold hours discovering all of the places where the number "42" pops up. For example, there are many mentions of the number in the Book of Revelation. Others have made a game of finding 42s, such as these:
* The angle at which light reflects off of water to create a rainbow is 42 degrees.
* Two physical constants in the universe are the speed of light and thediameter of a proton. It takes light 10 to the minus 42nd power seconds to cross the diameter of a proton.
* The sum of the ordinal alphabetic positions of the initials (SPG) for Stan (P.) Gibilisco, an oft-published science and technology writer, is equal to 42 (S=19, P=16, G=7).
* A barrel holds 42 gallons.
(It should be noted that all of these 42s are base 10, not base 13.)

The 42 answer you're looking for has been posted.
As for LAMP, you might be referring to the "webhosting wet dream" combination of technologies: Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP (not totally certain on the P meaning, could be Perl)

I don't know what it exactly stands for but I know what it means. It means that the quote/article's mispelling or grammar is from the original author and the news left it alone stating it's not their mistake. For example:
The popular internet meme in 1990s was 'All you base are [sic] belong to us'.
I'm laughing so hard right now. This is crazy stuff. What else should I do with my new found power?
In retrospect I think this is what is happening:
There is a message post. If the user goes in to edit the post and is finished before the minute of the post time changes it resets the post time to the end of the minute. This allows anyone else who posted within that minute to appear before the person doing the editing - if that makes any sense at all

It means "we know the word before this is misspelled / bad grammar, but it's a quoted reference, so we're leaving it in" as I understand it.
