"Sadmind allows remote administration access to Solaris systems,
providing a graphical user interface for system administration functions."
Of all the names they could have picked, why "sad mind"?

It's a daemon, so its name must end in d.
It's purpose is administration of Solaris... S(olaris)admin(stration)d.
If your quote is correct, notice the upper S.

Just because you can't see it, it doesn't weigh anything,
and you can't drill a hole in it and stick a rivet into it doesn't mean
it's free.

So it's actually s admin d rather than sad mind?
What an unfortunately coincidence. What are the chances of that?

A very minor example, but for a time I wondered if a "bspline" should be
read as "b-spline" or as "bsp-line". (Back then both sounded plausible to me.)

I borrowed a CG book from the library. (So, obviously, it was decades
out of date.) I spent the next several years wondering what the HELL the
difference is between a Bezier-splinr, B-spline, beta-spline,
cubic-spline, rational-spline and NURBS...

For me, it was "whodunit". Apparently, the "whod" is a measure of how much
mystery surrounds a dead body. Finding one gives you one whod unit.

I *did* eventually figure it out, but it was about 10 years later.
