wallops

IRC command. Along with /operwall, /wallops (message) sends a message to all operators on IRC.

They were originally publically visible and intended to be used for disaster announcements and the like, but have been abused to the point where now they are operator only.

kernel panic

A kernel panic is a type of error that occurs when the core (kernel) of an operating system receives an instruction in an unexpected format, or that it fails to handle properly. A kernel panic may also follow when the operating system is not able to recover from a different type of error. A kernel panic can be caused by damaged or incompatible software or, more rarely, damaged or incompatible hardware.

Dude, my laptop sucks... it suddenly developed a kernel panic about 15 seconds after boot-up.
