As Christopher Hitchens writes in his Preface, this is 'an idiosyncratic, unillusioned tour of the sixties that has few if any rivals', idiosyncratic because the worlds of politics and international crises seem to happen off-stage.
Layered Service Provider. Layered Service Provider (LSP) is a deprecated feature of the Microsoft Windows Winsock 2 Service Provider Interface (SPI). A Layered Service Provider is a DLL that uses Winsock APIs to attempt to insert itself into the TCP/IP protocol stack.
LSPI is most common in certain turbocharged direct-injection vehicles operating in low-speed and high-load driving conditions. LSPI events are random and infrequent, and their effects on impacted vehicles can include very high-pressure spikes, loud knocking noises and sometimes catastrophic engine damage.
