Serving Hacker Jargon to the Internet since Jan 1995.
live /liv/ /adj.,adv./ Opposite of `test'. Refers to actual real-world data or a program working with it. For example, the response to "I think the record "Well, make sure it works perfectly before we throw live data at it." The implication here is that record deletion is something pretty significant, and a haywire record-deleter running amok live would probably cause great harm.
